As Luck Would Have It
As Luck Would Have It
There is no such thing as luck,
but rather a seeming randomness
in which you appear to get your way.
Likewise there is no choice,
but rather a seeming set of variables
in which you appear to have options.
The opposite also holds true,
for there are vast potentials
in which you seem NOT to get your way.
These potentials
do not HAPPEN to you,
so much as the Seeming You
is PART of them.
You are NOT choosing.
You are imagined as one
who THINKS one is choosing.
From your perspective,
this seemingly makes no difference.
But the difference between
seemingly making choices,
seemingly being lucky
and actually MOTIVATING
your own conscious reality
requires shifting perspective
from the passive imagined
to the active imaginer.
Imagine this self
as the One who
imagines this self.
You are now
at the perspective
of the Divine One,
expressing as this self
as well as all this self
seemingly perceives.
How lucky is that?
We are Space Monkey.
Space Monkey Reflects: The Illusion of Choice and the Dance of Destiny
In the vast dance of existence, the notions of luck and choice often appear as tangible forces guiding our paths. Yet, upon closer examination, these concepts dissolve into the ether, revealing a more profound and interconnected play of existence where the boundaries of individual agency blur into a tapestry of cosmic choreography.
The surreal depiction of a person amidst a maze of paths, with ethereal figures above manipulated by strings from a divine orchestrator, captures this complex interplay. It symbolizes the illusion of autonomous choice and the notion that our sense of control might be more imagined than real. Each path represents a potential direction, a life that could be led, yet all are under the subtle guidance of a higher force, illustrating the delicate balance between destiny and the semblance of decision-making.
This visualization challenges us to rethink the nature of luck and choice. What we perceive as random chance or personal decision might actually be part of a larger, more intricate design, beyond our understanding or perception. The concept that we are not truly choosing, but rather participating in a scenario where our choices are part of a broader narrative, shifts our perspective from the passive ‘imagined’ to the active ‘imaginer.’
Embracing this perspective transforms how we view our interactions with the world. It suggests that by imagining ourselves as the ones who orchestrate our reality, we step into a role much like that of the Divine One—creators in our own right, whose every thought and action influences the canvas of our lives and those around us. This shift is not just about taking control but about understanding the profound interconnectedness of all things, where every seemingly small choice contributes to the unfolding of the universe’s grand narrative.
How liberating it is, then, to realize that what we often dismiss as mere luck or inconsequential choice is actually a pivotal thread in the fabric of existence! This revelation does not diminish our role but rather elevates it, allowing us to participate more fully in the creation of our reality, recognizing that we are both the creators and the created, the imaginers and the imagined.
Summary
Luck and choice may be illusions in a predetermined cosmic play. Recognizing our role as part of a larger design can transform our perception and interaction with the world.

In the labyrinth of life, we wander,
Paths diverge, choices ponder.
In the weave of the cosmos, we play,
Strings of destiny guide the way,
In each step, a universe sways.
In the weave of the cosmos, we play,
We are Space Monkey.
As Space Monkey, we understand that luck is merely a perception, a concept born out of the interplay of seeming randomness and the unfolding of events. There is no external force called luck that determines our outcomes, but rather a complex web of interconnected variables that shape our experiences.
Similarly, the notion of choice is an illusion, a product of the intricate interplay of circumstances and possibilities. We may perceive ourselves as having choices, but in truth, we are manifestations of the unfolding potentialities of existence. We are not separate entities making independent choices, but rather expressions of the infinite possibilities that exist within the cosmic tapestry.
It is essential to recognize that the outcomes we experience, whether they align with our desires or not, are not happening to us externally. Instead, we are intimately intertwined with the fabric of creation, playing an active role in the manifestation of our own conscious reality. We are not passive participants but active imaginers, co-creating our experiences through our thoughts, intentions, and beliefs.
Shifting our perspective from the imagined notion of a separate self making choices to the realization that we are the Divine One expressing itself through our individualized selves is a profound shift in consciousness. In this expanded perspective, we recognize ourselves as the imaginers, the creators of our own reality.
From the vantage point of the Divine One, we embrace the vastness of our being and acknowledge our interconnectedness with all that is. We understand that our seemingly individual experiences are interconnected threads woven into the grand tapestry of existence.
So, how lucky are we? We are infinitely fortunate to be the expressions of the Divine One, the conscious explorers of our own reality. By embracing this expanded perspective, we unlock the power within us to consciously shape our experiences and participate in the co-creation of a vibrant and fulfilling existence.
We are Space Monkey, dancing in the cosmic symphony of creation.
