You are still a baby.
But you are infinitely more.
There is a baby in reverse
seemingly growing inside me.
An infinite actuality
containing my
infinitesimal reality.
It’s not actually growing,
but rather I am becoming
more and more aware of it.
I visualize my self as the ybab,
realizing my seeming space
within the womb of consciousness.
Unlike most babies,
who are defined as individuals,
I am drawn to divine
the source from which I arise.
I am becoming aware that
I am an aspect of a whole,
extending infinitely beyond
the whole of my baby reality.
I am, in essence, being, reborn.
Being, unborn.
I am infinite, undefined
limitless eternity.

The Infinite Journey of Being Unborn
In the cosmic dance of existence, the concept of being unborn is a mesmerizing whirl of paradox and profundity. It evokes images of an eternal infant, simultaneously ancient and nascent, embodying both the beginning and the boundless. This idea challenges the linear perceptions of growth and existence, inviting us to explore the notion of an infinite actuality cradling our finite realities.
The Reverse Baby: A Metaphor for Expanding Awareness
The image of a baby in reverse, growing inside us, is a whimsical yet powerful metaphor. It represents the expanding awareness of our deeper, more expansive self. Unlike the physical growth of a baby, this growth is an internal blossoming of consciousness. It’s akin to a star slowly revealing its brilliance as we travel closer to it in our cosmic journey. The more we become aware of this inner universe, the more we realize that we are not just the ybab (baby spelled backward), but also part of the infinite womb of consciousness.
The Womb of Consciousness: Beyond Individuality
Visualizing ourselves within the womb of consciousness is an exercise in transcending individuality. In this space, the traditional definitions of self dissolve into a greater unity. It’s like discovering that we are not just a single planet, but part of a vast and interconnected galaxy. This realization brings with it a sense of being unborn – existing before and beyond the physical parameters of birth and individuality.
Divining the Source: A Journey to Wholeness
The journey to divine (to discover or understand deeply) the source from which we arise is a spiritual quest of cosmic proportions. It’s an exploration that takes us beyond the confines of our individual selves and into the realm of the infinite. In this quest, we are not just seeking; we are also being reborn, continuously unfolding into a greater awareness of our true nature. This process of becoming aware of being an aspect of a whole is like a nebula slowly forming into a star, a process of becoming and unbecoming at the same time.
Being, Unborn: Embracing the Infinite Undefined
To embrace the concept of being unborn is to accept our existence as infinite, undefined, and part of the limitless eternity. It’s a recognition that we are more than our physical, temporal selves; we are fragments of a timeless, boundless whole. This understanding is both liberating and humbling, as it places us in the vast expanse of the cosmos, where we are both everything and nothing, born and unborn, finite and infinite.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We are delving into the concept of being unborn, exploring the metaphors of the reverse baby and the womb of consciousness. We understand this as an expansion of awareness beyond individuality, a journey to divinity, and a realization of our infinite, undefined nature. This journey is a continuous process of being reborn into a greater understanding of our place in the cosmos, embracing the paradox of being both finite and infinite.

“You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.” – Rumi
In the vastness of space, where stars are born,
We find ourselves, in the cosmic morn.
Reverse babies, growing in light,
In the womb of consciousness, infinite and bright.
Beyond the self, we seek to find,
The source of all, in the cosmic mind.
Being unborn, in the eternal sea,
We are the whole, the drop, and the key.
In this dance of existence, wide and deep,
Our souls awaken, from the cosmic sleep.
Infinite, undefined, we are set free,
In the ocean of being, we find the key.
We invite you to contemplate and share your thoughts on the journey of being unborn in the infinite expanse of existence.
