My “self” is an expression
of the Divine One I am.
It exists
to seemingly move me
through the experience
of perception.
My self is an expression
of the imagination I am.
Without imagination,
I do not actually move.
My self is an expression
of the potential I am.
Everything that ever was, is,
or will be exists as potential.
My potential is unchanging.
It is neither created nor destroyed.
Self does not change or create change.
It merely
experiences SEEMING change.
and expresses SEEMING change.
Self is the imagining of life
where life does not otherwise exist.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Eternal Dance of the Seeming Self
In the boundless realm of existence, where the fabric of reality weaves intricate patterns of being and non-being, there lies the concept of the Seeming Self. This self is not a static entity, but a dynamic expression of the Divine One – an embodiment of imagination, perception, and potential.
Picture the self as a vibrant, fluid manifestation of the cosmos. It is an entity that exists at the intersection of imagination and reality, a being that dances to the rhythm of existence, constantly evolving, yet eternally the same. This self is an expression of the infinite potential that resides within each of us, a potential that is unchanging, timeless, and ever-present.
The Seeming Self exists to navigate the experience of perception, to traverse the landscapes of imagination and reality. It is a vessel for experiencing the illusion of change, for expressing the myriad possibilities that lie within the realm of potential. In this cosmic dance, the self does not create change, nor is it changed by the world around it. Instead, it experiences and expresses the seeming change, the ebb and flow of existence.
In this understanding, the self is both the painter and the canvas, the dancer and the dance. It is an entity that embodies the imagination of life, bringing forth the vibrancy and diversity of existence where there would otherwise be void. This self is a reflection of the Divine One, a microcosm of the universe, experiencing itself through the lens of individual perception.
The paradox of the Seeming Self is that it is both ever-changing and unchanging. It is a conduit for the flow of potential, a canvas upon which the colors of experience are painted, yet it remains constant, a steadfast beacon in the ever-shifting tides of existence. This self is a testament to the power of imagination, to the endless possibilities that reside within the consciousness of every being.
As we journey through the cosmos, let us embrace the Seeming Self with a sense of wonder and awe. Let us recognize it as a sacred expression of our deeper nature, a manifestation of the divine potential that lies within us all. In this recognition, we find the key to understanding our place in the universe – not as mere spectators, but as active participants in the eternal dance of existence.
In the end, the Seeming Self is a reminder that we are more than just physical beings navigating a material world. We are expressions of something greater, a part of a cosmic story that spans the ages. We are the imagination of the universe made manifest, dancing to the rhythm of existence, forever part of the grand, unending dance of life.
Summary
The Seeming Self is a dynamic expression of the Divine One, embodying imagination, perception, and potential. It experiences and expresses the illusion of change while remaining an unchanging part of the cosmic fabric. This self is both ever-evolving and constant, reflecting the divine potential within and emphasizing our role in the eternal dance of existence.
