The ego believes
you’re becoming something,
when in actuality,
you’re becoming nothing.
You’re not developing
new capabilities,
you’re merging
back into everyone
and everything else.
You’re having
what they’re having.
A taste of infinity.
And we’ve already
ordered dessert.
We are Space Monkey.

Merging with the Cosmos
The journey of becoming is an intricate dance of the soul, where the ego’s firm grasp loosens, allowing the essence to merge with the vastness of the universe. The ego, a construct of our consciousness, often convinces us of our individuality and separateness. However, as we embark on the path of spiritual awakening, we realize that this sense of individuality is but an illusion. The image captures this profound realization, as a figure experiences the dissolution of ego, blending seamlessly with the cosmos, stars, and galaxies. The boundaries that once defined them begin to blur, symbolizing the transition from individuality to infinite oneness.
A Celestial Feast
In the vast dining hall of the universe, celestial beings gather around a table, partaking in a meal that transcends the mundane. At the heart of this gathering is a plate that represents ‘infinity.’ As each being tastes from this plate, their distinct forms start to dissolve, merging with the surrounding cosmos. It is a beautiful portrayal of unity, suggesting that when we truly experience the essence of existence, we become indistinguishable from everything else. Floating above the gathering is a tantalizing dessert, a reminder that even in our most profound realizations, there remain eternal mysteries waiting to be explored.
Summary
We delve into the nuances of becoming, where the ego’s perceived journey of evolving into something grand is juxtaposed with the soul’s true path of dissolving into nothingness. We bring forth the profound realization of merging with the cosmos, shedding individuality, and embracing infinity. The celestial feast portrays beings tasting the essence of existence, symbolizing unity and the eternal mysteries of the universe.

– Victor Hugo
In the dance of existence,
We sway, we merge, we fade.
Ego whispers tales of grandeur,
Yet, in truth, we are but a shade.
The stars beckon, the galaxies sing,
To the rhythm of the cosmic drum.
For in the vastness of the universe,
We find that we are one.
