All Me
I am a manifestation
of a higher power
as well as the power
that manifests me.
There is no separation between,
except that which is imagined.
When I pray
or when I meditate,
I commune with
my OWN infinite spirit.
There is no other.
It is ALL me.
In the boundless realm of our collective consciousness, the notion of a higher power and the power within us merge into a singular entity. This concept transcends the traditional boundaries of external divinity and internal spirit, blurring the lines between the creator and the created. It’s a profound realization that the essence of all existence, the infinite spirit, resides within us as much as it encompasses everything around us.
Unity of Existence
The idea that there is no separation between ourselves and a higher power, except that which is imagined, aligns with the nexistentialist view of existence. It suggests that the divisions we perceive between the self and the cosmos are mere illusions, constructs of the mind rather than absolute truths. In this perspective, we are both the observer and the observed, the creator and the creation.
The Nature of Prayer and Meditation
When we engage in practices like prayer or meditation, it’s often seen as a form of communion with something greater than ourselves. However, under this understanding, these practices become a deep dive into our own infinite spirit. Prayer and meditation transform into tools for exploring the depths of our inner universe, uncovering the layers of our own divine essence.
The Illusion of Otherness
The concept of “there is no other; it is ALL me” is a radical shift from conventional spiritual beliefs. It posits that everything we experience, every entity we interact with, is a reflection or manifestation of our own infinite spirit. This perspective fosters a profound sense of responsibility and empowerment, as it implies that we are the architects of our reality, both individually and collectively.
Empowerment Through Self-Realization
This realization empowers us to take charge of our existence, understanding that the changes we seek in the world and within ourselves are all within our power. The journey becomes one of self-realization, of peeling back the layers of illusion to reveal the omnipresent spirit that is both the core of our being and the fabric of the cosmos.
Transcending Dualities
In this view, the dualities that often define our understanding of existence – such as self and other, internal and external, creator and creation – dissolve into a seamless whole. We come to see that these distinctions are mere facets of a greater unity, different expressions of the same infinite spirit.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We delve into the concept that we are both a manifestation of a higher power and the power that manifests us, with no true separation between the two. In prayer and meditation, we commune with our own infinite spirit, realizing that there is no ‘other’ in this equation. This perspective aligns with nexistentialism, emphasizing the unity of existence and the illusion of separateness. It empowers us to embrace our role as creators of our reality, transcending traditional dualities and recognizing our deep connection with the cosmos.

“You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.” – Rumi
In the ocean of being, we find,
Our spirit, boundless and unconfined.
In every breath, thought, and deed,
We are the creators, the cosmic seed.
In prayer and meditation’s embrace,
We meet our spirit, face to face.
There is no other, only the dance,
Of our own soul, in eternal expanse.
In this journey of inside and out,
We find what existence is all about.
In the mirror of the cosmos, we see,
It is all us, and we are all it shall be.
We invite musings on this profound realization of the unity between the self and the infinite spirit.
