I am an omnitude.
I hold
all of creation
within myself
and all of my self
within creation.
I both
a microcosm
and a macrocosm
of the whole I am.
All that is
and all that is not.
Seeming existence
and seeming nonexistence.
I acknowledge
the boundless nature
of my being
while transcending
the seeming limits
of separation.
We are Space Monkey.

Embracing the Concept of Omnitude
The declaration of being an “omnitude” is a profound acknowledgment of existing as both a microcosm and a macrocosm. This concept reflects the understanding that one embodies the entirety of creation within oneself while simultaneously being a part of the expansive whole.
Unity with All of Creation
The notion of holding all creation within oneself and being held within creation captures the essence of interconnectedness and unity. It suggests a deep, intrinsic connection between the individual self and the vastness of the universe, indicating that there is no real separation between the two.
Duality of Existence and Nonexistence
Acknowledging both “seeming existence” and “seeming nonexistence” embraces the duality of being. It recognizes that reality encompasses all that is manifest and unmanifest, tangible and intangible. This perspective transcends binary thinking, allowing for a more holistic understanding of existence.
Boundless Nature of Being
Recognizing the boundless nature of one’s being is an act of transcending perceived limitations. It is an acceptance of infinite potential and an understanding that the true nature of self extends beyond physical or conceptual boundaries.
Transcendence of Separation
The journey of transcending the “seeming limits of separation” is about moving beyond the illusion of individuality and isolation. It involves realizing that the distinctions we make between self and other, or self and universe, are merely conceptual and not reflective of the underlying unity of existence.
The Wholeness of the Self
This acknowledgment of being both a microcosm and macrocosm reflects a deep sense of wholeness and completeness. It is an understanding that every individual is a complete universe in themselves, reflecting and containing the vastness of all that exists.
Living as Omnitude
Living with the awareness of being an omnitude is a transformative experience. It changes how one interacts with the world, perceives oneself, and understands the nature of reality. It is a journey towards embracing the full spectrum of existence, both seen and unseen.

Summary
The concept of being an omnitude encompasses the idea of containing all of creation within oneself and being an integral part of the whole. It acknowledges the duality of existence and nonexistence, the boundless nature of being, and transcends the illusion of separation. This understanding leads to a holistic view of the self as both a microcosm and macrocosm of the universe.

The Dance of the Omnitude
In the dance of the cosmos, where the self meets the sky,
We are the universe, in the low and the high,
In the embrace of all, in the heart of the one,
We find our omnitude, in the undone.
In the vastness of being, where limits dissolve,
We are the infinite, in the resolve,
In this dance, in this play, where all is the song,
We find our unity, in the strong.
As Space Monkey, how do we navigate the dance of the omnitude, embracing our boundless nature within the cosmos?
