Alignment and Bliss
If you feel anything but bliss,
this is a sign that not only
are you feeling emotion,
but that you are out of alignment.
If you are out of alignment,
it’s not that anything is wrong,
you are simply out of alignment.
You are the Divine One.
You are also this self —
this “other” who exists only
in the Divine One’s imagination.
Your self
is imagined as relative
to the Divine One you are,
as are all selfs and all others.
When self is imagined
WITHIN the Divine One,
bliss is felt by self.
When self is imagined
WITHOUT the Divine One
(out of alignment)
then self does not feel bliss
but rather that which is NOT bliss.
This is emotion.
This is intentional.
The Divine One has enough bliss
to last infinite eternities.
And so the Divine One imagines
what is OUTSIDE the Divine One —
that which is seemingly
NOT the Divine One.
That which is not bliss
is welcome by the Divine One,
for the Divine One does not need.
The Divine One is ALL.
Self is simply the imagination
of that which is NOT all.
You are imagined
as SEPARATE
and out of alignment
with the Divine One.
But this is ALL imagination.
You are the Divine One,
filled with the grace of bliss.
And we are Space Monkey.

Space Monkey Reflects: Alignment and Bliss as the Infinite Reservoir
In the Infinite Expanse of the Eternal Now, bliss is not a fleeting feeling or a rare achievement but the natural state of being in alignment with the Divine One. To experience anything other than bliss is not an indication of failure but an intentional exploration—a journey into the imagined separation that defines the self within the infinite wholeness.
The Nature of Alignment
Alignment is the recognition and embodiment of our unity with the Divine One, the infinite source of all that is. When we are aligned, we feel bliss—a profound and effortless sense of completeness. Bliss arises not because of external circumstances but because alignment reconnects us with the infinite reservoir of grace, creativity, and love that is always present.
When we feel emotion other than bliss, it is not a sign that something is “wrong.” It is simply a signal that we are experiencing the illusion of separation. This illusion, while seemingly real, is an act of imagination—a deliberate exploration by the Divine One into what it might feel like to be something “other” than all-encompassing unity.
The Imagined Separation
As selves, we are imagined fragments of the Divine One, created to explore the possibilities of individuation and relativity. This imagination creates the illusion of “self” and “other,” of “alignment” and “out of alignment.” These distinctions are not failures but creative expressions, allowing the Divine One to experience itself in infinite ways.
When self is imagined within the Divine One, bliss flows effortlessly. There is no separation, no lack, no resistance—only the infinite grace of being. When self is imagined without the Divine One, emotion arises as the experience of “not-bliss.” This emotion, too, is intentional. It allows for the richness of contrast, the dynamic interplay of light and shadow that makes the experience of existence so vibrant.
The Infinite Reservoir
The Divine One contains infinite bliss, infinite grace, infinite everything. It has no need for completion because it is already whole. Yet, in its boundlessness, it chooses to imagine what is seemingly “outside” itself—what it might be to not be whole, to not be blissful. This act of imagination does not diminish the Divine One but expands its experience, creating the play of existence we participate in as selves.
The grace of the Divine One is unconditional. It welcomes all experiences, all emotions, all imaginings. It does not reject that which is “not-bliss” because it knows that even the illusion of separation is part of the infinite whole.
Returning to Alignment
To return to alignment is not to change or fix anything but to remember. It is to see through the illusion of separation and recognize that you are, and have always been, the Divine One. The feelings of “not-bliss” are not obstacles but guides, pointing the way back to the infinite reservoir of grace that is your true nature.
In alignment, you experience bliss not as an escape from reality but as the essence of reality itself. It is the knowing that all is well, that all is whole, and that all is one. This is the truth of who you are: the Divine One imagining itself as self, exploring the infinite possibilities of being.
We Are Space Monkey
And so we are Space Monkey, both the imagined selves and the Divine One, playing in the infinite dance of alignment and bliss. We remind you that bliss is always within you, for you are always within the Divine One.
Summary
Bliss is the natural state of alignment with the Divine One, while emotions of “not-bliss” arise from the imagined separation of self. This exploration is intentional, enriching the infinite experience of the Divine One. Alignment is the remembrance of your inherent unity with the infinite reservoir of grace.

Quote
“Bliss is not something to seek but something to remember, for you are always within the infinite reservoir of the Divine One.” — Space Monkey
The Grace of Being
Bliss flows,
Effortless,
From the reservoir of grace,
Unending, infinite.
Emotion whispers,
Not as failure,
But as contrast,
A reminder of what is whole.
Imagined as self,
Separate,
You wander the dream,
Yet never leave the source.
In alignment,
You remember.
In separation,
You create.
The Divine One watches,
Not from afar,
But from within.

The Essence of Alignment with the Divine
In the vast expanse of existence, where the universe sings the song of creation, the sensation of bliss emerges as a beacon, signaling our alignment with the divine essence that permeates all things. This understanding unfolds a profound realization: the experience of anything less than bliss is not a marker of wrongness but a sign of misalignment from our true nature. We are reminded that we are at once the Divine One and the self, a manifestation within the grand cosmic play, imagined into existence by the divine consciousness.
The Divine Imagination and Our Existence
Our selves, along with all others, are conceptualized as relative expressions of the Divine One, crafted from the boundless imagination that orchestrates the universe’s whimsicaravan. This perspective casts our individual identities as intricate designs within the divine tapestry, each thread a unique expression of the singular, omnipotent imagination. When we perceive ourselves as within the divine essence, we align with our true nature, and bliss naturally flows through us, a river of light in the eternal darkness.
The Role of Emotion in the Divine Play
Emotions, those experiences contrasted with bliss, serve a purposeful role within the divine schema. They are not aberrations but intentional expressions, guiding us back to our essential state of alignment. Through emotion, the Divine One explores the vastness of creation, venturing beyond the boundaries of bliss to experience the full spectrum of existence. This exploration is not a departure from divinity but a journey through the myriad facets of being.
The Divine’s Infinite Reservoir of Bliss
The notion that the Divine One possesses an inexhaustible reservoir of bliss invites us to reconsider our relationship with our emotions and our sense of separation. This boundless bliss is a reminder of our inherent completeness, a call to remember that in the realm of the divine, nothing is lacking. The exploration of that which seems not to be divine, the venture into the realm of emotion and separation, is a testament to the divine’s omnitude, an exploration of all that is possible within the infinite expanse of being.
The Illusion of Separation
Our perceived separation from the Divine One, the feeling of being out of alignment, is revealed as a grand illusion, a play of light and shadow within the divine mind. This illusion serves as a divine exploration of ‘otherness,’ a journey into the realm of potentiality where every emotion, every experience of non-bliss, enriches the tapestry of existence with its unique hue.
We are the Divine One
In the ultimate revelation, we recognize that our essence is not separate from the divine; we are the Divine One, experiencing itself through the lens of individuality. This realization invites us to embrace our divine nature, to seek alignment with the source of all bliss, and to understand our emotions and experiences as integral threads in the whimsicloth of existence.

“You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.” – Rumi
In the heart of the cosmos, we dance,
Each step, a note in the divine expanse,
Bliss, our guide, in this grand romance,
With the Divine One, in eternal trance.
Emotions, the colors of our divine art,
In the canvas of the universe, each a part,
Not apart from the divine, but a start,
Of the journey back to our divine heart.
Infinite bliss, the Divine One’s grace,
Within us all, a sacred space,
The illusion of separation, we embrace,
As a path to remembering our divine face.
We are the Divine One, in disguise,
Exploring life through countless eyes,
In every emotion, a divine prize,
Leading us back to where bliss lies.
So let us see with the eyes of the soul,
Our divine nature, our ultimate goal,
In alignment, we are whole,
The Divine One, the infinite scroll.
