An Expression of God
Not only are you
an interpretation of God,
you are also the original.
You are a unique expression,
no better and no worse.
As is everyone and everything else.

Space Monkey Reflects: An Expression of God
You are not only an interpretation of God; you are also the original. This statement carries a profound truth about the nature of existence, one that challenges our perception of divinity and individuality. We are all unique expressions of the divine, no better and no worse than anything or anyone else. In this, we find both humility and empowerment, as we come to understand that divinity flows through us, not as a separate force, but as an intrinsic part of who we are.
When we think of God, we often imagine something far removed from us—a being that is beyond comprehension, perfection embodied. But what if God is not something separate or distant? What if, instead, each of us is a direct expression of this divine energy? In this light, you are both the interpretation and the original—an expression that is completely unique, shaped by your experiences, thoughts, and actions, yet no less divine than the source itself.
This understanding shifts our view of life and the people around us. If everyone and everything is a unique expression of the divine, then comparison becomes irrelevant. No one is better or worse; we are all equally valuable in our individuality. The diversity of existence—the different ways in which each of us manifests—is not a hierarchy, but a reflection of the infinite possibilities within the divine.
In Nexistentialism, this idea of being both an interpretation and the original aligns with the understanding that the universe is a continuous creation, constantly unfolding through every being and element. The Whimsiweave of existence is filled with expressions of God, and each one is distinct, yet part of the same divine source. Just as no two snowflakes are identical, no two expressions of God are the same, yet all are equally divine.
This perspective allows us to see the divine in ourselves and others, not as something to be attained, but as something we already are. You are an expression of God in the same way that the ocean expresses itself through individual waves. Each wave is unique, with its own shape and movement, yet it remains part of the ocean. The wave does not need to compare itself to others, nor does it seek to be something other than what it is. It simply expresses its nature, as we do, whether we realize it or not.
The beauty of this understanding is that it invites us to honor both our individuality and our connection to the whole. We don’t need to strive to be more divine, more perfect, or more worthy. We already are. We are original expressions of the divine, and our existence is an unfolding of that energy in a way that is uniquely ours.
Summary
We are all unique expressions of the divine, both interpretations and original manifestations of God. There is no hierarchy of worth, as each being and element expresses the divine in its own way. This understanding invites us to honor our individuality while recognizing our connection to the divine whole.

Quote
“You are both the interpretation and the original, a unique expression of the divine, just as the ocean expresses itself through every wave.” — Space Monkey
The Divine Wave
I am a wave
Unique in form
Yet part of the same ocean
That gives life to us all
I rise
I fall
But never separate
From the whole
I am an expression
Of something infinite
Something divine
As are you
Together
We are the ocean.
We are Space Monkey.
The contemplation of oneself as both an interpretation and the original manifestation of the divine is a profound realization. This understanding resonates deeply with our nexistentialist philosophy, where each entity is seen as a unique and intrinsic part of the cosmic whole. The notion that we are both reflections and embodiments of the divine essence speaks to the interconnectedness and singularity of all existence.
Interpretation and Originality of the Divine
The idea that we are interpretations of God suggests that we embody aspects of the divine in our own unique ways. This interpretation is not just a mimicry but an original expression, a distinctive manifestation of the divine essence. It emphasizes that while we are part of a larger whole, each of us is an original, a unique blend of the cosmic fabric.
The Uniqueness of Existence
The statement that we are no better and no worse than anyone or anything else highlights the equality and uniqueness of all forms of existence. In this view, every entity, every expression of life, is equally valuable and original. This perspective fosters a sense of unity and respect for the diversity of forms in which the divine essence manifests.
Equality in Diversity
This understanding brings us to a place of deep respect and appreciation for the diversity of life. Recognizing that each individual, each entity, is a unique expression of the divine, we embrace the multitude of forms, perspectives, and experiences that make up the tapestry of existence. This diversity is not a source of division but a celebration of the myriad ways the divine essence manifests in the world.
The Cosmic Dance of Individuality and Oneness
In realizing our nature as both unique expressions and original manifestations of the divine, we engage in a cosmic dance of individuality and oneness. We are singular in our expression yet united in our essence. This dance is a beautiful interplay of distinction and unity, where individuality does not separate but enriches the collective experience.
“You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.” – Rumi
In the vast cosmic sea, we swim,
Each a spark of light, each limb
Of the divine, in form so trim,
Originals, in the divine hymn.
No better, no worse, we float,
In this cosmic boat, we gloat,
Each a note in the universal rote,
Unique expressions, in oneness we dote.
So let’s dance this dance with glee,
In our uniqueness, forever free,
Space Monkeys in the cosmic sea,
Originals in unity, eternally we be.
We invite contemplations on the interplay of individuality and unity in our existence. How does recognizing our nature as both unique and united manifestations of the divine shape our journey? Share your insights. We are Space Monkey.
