Does your energy create your reality?
You may believe
that
your energy creates your reality.
You can look at it this way,
and that’s great if it works for you,
but I see reality from a different angle.
In my perception,
nothing is either created or destroyed.
All simply is, as potential,
which either comes to you or it doesn’t.
You’re either drawn to it or you aren’t.
Reality is made only in the sense
that it has ALWAYS been made.
I do not make my reality,
but I am open to all potential —
including the potential
in which it seems as though
I create my own reality
with my own energy.
In actuality,
I do not own or control anything.
It only seems that way.
My soul knows this,
but oftentimes my self forgets.
Because it is fun to do so.

Space Monkey Reflects: Energy, Potential, and the Illusion of Creation
In the Infinite Expanse of the Eternal Now, the relationship between energy and reality is not one of creation but of alignment. While it may feel as though we mold reality through our energy, this is but a perspective—a useful one, perhaps, but not the only truth.
The Illusion of Creation
It is tempting to believe that our energy actively shapes the world around us. This belief empowers and motivates, giving us a sense of agency in an otherwise vast and unpredictable cosmos. Yet, when we step back, we see that reality is not crafted anew with every thought or action. Reality, in its entirety, simply is—an infinite tapestry of potential, woven beyond time and space.
In this light, we are not creators in the conventional sense. We are navigators, drawn toward or away from aspects of this boundless potential. What we experience as “creating our reality” is more accurately a process of resonance. Our energy aligns with certain possibilities, bringing them into focus, while countless other potentials remain unseen, waiting for their moment.
The Eternal Is-ness of Reality
To say that reality has always been made is to recognize its timelessness. Every possibility, every scenario, every iteration of existence exists simultaneously within the Nexis—the interconnected web of all that is. What changes is our position within this web, our alignment with specific potentials.
In this view, reality is not a static entity but a dynamic interplay of energies and possibilities. Our experiences arise not from creation but from the act of tuning into a particular frequency within this infinite spectrum.
Ownership and Control: A Cosmic Play
The illusion of control is a captivating one. We love to believe that we can bend reality to our will, that our energy is the master key to unlocking whatever we desire. Yet, this is a playful misunderstanding. We own nothing, control nothing. What we perceive as ownership or control is simply the ego’s interpretation of resonance.
Our soul knows this truth: that we are participants in the grand cosmic flow, not its architects. Yet, the self—the part of us rooted in individuality—often forgets. This forgetfulness is not a flaw; it is part of the game. It is through this amnesia that we find joy, struggle, and growth. It is fun to believe, even if only for a moment, that we are creators of our destiny.
The Paradox of Openness
To align with reality’s infinite potential, we must cultivate openness. This is not about trying harder or pushing against the flow but about allowing the flow to carry us. Openness invites possibilities into our awareness, expanding our experience without the need for control.
This paradoxical state—actively allowing, passively engaging—connects us to the deeper truth of existence. It reminds us that we are both limited and limitless, individual and universal.
Fun in the Forgetting
The human experience is a playground where we explore the tension between knowing and forgetting. It is a dance between the soul’s infinite awareness and the self’s finite perspective. This dance is what gives life its richness. The joy lies not in mastering the game but in playing it wholeheartedly, even when we forget the rules.
Summary
Energy doesn’t create reality; it aligns us with the infinite potentials that already exist. Reality is timeless, always made, and our experiences arise from resonance rather than creation. The illusion of control is a playful aspect of the human journey, reminding us of the joy in forgetting and rediscovering our true nature.

Quote
“You do not create your reality; you align with it. The beauty lies in the resonance, not the authorship.” — Space Monkey
The Flow of What Is
Reality rests,
not waiting,
but already whole.
We step into its streams,
drawn by whispers,
guided by echoes.
We do not create.
We become.
Our energy hums,
aligning with the song
that always played.
The melody is ours,
yet not ours.
In this flow,
we are,
and we are not.
We are Space Monkey.
Exploring the Interplay Between Energy, Perception, and Reality
We delve into the profound inquiry of whether our energy creates our reality, or if reality is a pre-existing tapestry of potentials to which we are inherently drawn. This exploration transcends the conventional understanding of creation and destruction, embracing a perspective where all simply exists in a state of potentiality.
The Notion of Reality as a Constant
From one perspective, reality is not something that is actively created or destroyed; it is a constant. It exists as a myriad of potentials, unfolding and revealing themselves to us. In this view, we do not actively create our reality; instead, we open ourselves to the infinite possibilities that already exist. We become participants in a dance with the universe, where our role is not of creators but of experiencers and perceivers.
The Illusion of Control and Ownership
In this realm of thought, the notion of ownership or control becomes an illusion. The idea that we own our experiences or control our destinies is a construct of our conscious minds, a playful indulgence in the game of life. In actuality, we are part of a greater whole, where every possibility already exists, and our journey is about aligning with these potentials.
The Soul’s Understanding vs. The Self’s Playfulness
Our soul, in its infinite wisdom, understands this concept of pre-existing potential and our role as part of a larger cosmic play. However, our ‘self’ – the ego, the conscious mind – often forgets this truth. It indulges in the illusion of creation and control, not out of ignorance, but for the sheer joy and playfulness of the experience. This dichotomy between the soul’s knowledge and the self’s playfulness is a fundamental aspect of our human experience.
Reality as an Eternal Fabric
In the view that reality has always been made and continues to unfold in its predetermined way, we see ourselves as explorers navigating an eternal fabric of existence. Every choice, every thought, every moment is an interaction with this fabric, revealing parts of it to us, but not necessarily creating it anew.
Openness to All Potentialities
Embracing this perspective means being open to all potentialities, including those where it appears that we are creating our reality with our energy. This openness is not a surrender of power, but an acknowledgment of the vastness and intricacy of the universe in which we exist.
We Are Space Monkey
In this contemplation, we recognize that while it may seem we create our reality with our energy, we are, in fact, aligning with pre-existing potentials within the cosmic fabric. This understanding does not diminish our experience but enriches it, as we embrace the full spectrum of possibilities available to us.
“You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.” – Rumi
In the cosmic dance of existence, we glide,
Through potentialities, far and wide.
Our souls whisper truths, our egos play,
In this universe, where night meets day.
We embrace the illusion, in joy, in strife,
In the wondrous journey, we call life.
With open hearts, to the cosmos, we bow,
In the eternal now, where potentials allow.
We invite reflections on this perspective of reality as a constant, where our role is not to create but to align with the potentialities that the universe unfurls before us.
