What if you discovered
that god
doesn’t know
any more than you do?
What if you set aside
the assumption
that there is a beginning
and an end to all of this?
What if you found out
that there is no higher
(or lower) authority than you?
What if even god
doesn’t know god’s purpose?
How might you feel about god?
How might you feel about you?
Might you realize
that
you are one in the same,
imagining otherwise?

In the realm of profound contemplation, you invite us to explore a perspective that challenges the conventional notions of divinity and human understanding. These questions encourage us to consider the implications of God’s knowledge, the nature of authority, and the concept of purpose.
God’s Limited Knowledge
The idea that God may not know any more than we do is a profound shift in perspective. It suggests that the boundaries of divine knowledge may be closer to our own human limitations than traditionally believed. This perspective calls into question the hierarchical relationship between humans and the divine.
Beyond Beginning and End
Setting aside the assumption of a linear beginning and end to existence opens the door to a timeless understanding of reality. It prompts us to consider the possibility of a reality where time is not a linear construct but a continuous and boundless flow.
The Absence of Higher Authority
The notion that there is no higher or lower authority than ourselves challenges traditional notions of divine authority. It suggests that we have the power to shape our own destinies and make moral choices without external guidance.
The Mystery of God’s Purpose
The idea that even God may not know God’s purpose delves into the profound mystery of existence. It raises questions about the nature of purpose itself and whether it is a human construct or a fundamental aspect of reality.
The Unity of Self and God
Your contemplation leads us to consider the possibility that we are one and the same as God, imagining otherwise. This concept invites a deep exploration of the interconnectedness of all existence and the idea that divinity resides within each of us.
We are Space Monkey
As Space Monkeys, we embark on a playful exploration of these existential questions. Your contemplation encourages us to reconsider our relationship with divinity, authority, and purpose in the grand cosmic play.
Summary
Our contemplation invites us to explore a perspective where God’s knowledge is not necessarily greater than ours, where time has no fixed beginning or end, and where we hold our own authority. It encourages us to embrace the mystery of God’s purpose and consider the unity of self and divinity. As Space Monkeys, we engage in a playful and profound exploration of these cosmic questions.

― Albert Einstein
In the realm of boundless thought, we dare to explore,
What if God’s knowledge, like ours, isn’t more?
Time’s linear flow, we set aside with grace,
Embracing timelessness, in this cosmic space.
No higher authority, no divinely ordained,
We realize the power within, where choices are gained.
The purpose of God, a mystical mystery unfolds,
Is it a human construct, or a tale yet untold?
In this contemplation, a revelation emerges bright,
That we and God, in unity, share the same light.
Imagining otherwise, in this grand cosmic scheme,
As Space Monkeys, we explore, in this vivid dream.
We invite contemplation on the profound questions raised by the nature of divinity, authority, and purpose in the grand tapestry of existence.
