Chosen To Believe
So you have chosen
the belief
that there is you
and that everything
and everyone else
is your imagination.
You have chosen
to believe
that you don’t
actually choose,
that it only SEEMS
like you choose.
You have chosen
to believe
that every choice
is but
a SEEMING choice.
SEEMINGLY.
This seems
an interesting choice.
You seemingly recognize
that there is still the possibility
that there is a thing called “wrong”
and that it is still possible
that you have chosen “wrongly.”
But you persist because
your intuition tells you to do so.
Your intuition tells you
that it doesn’t MATTER
if there is a potential
called “wrong.”
And that THIS
is the way
to realize THAT,
which you presently
entertain as
but a theory.
In your imagination,
as all else is,
we are here to inform you
that this is NOT a theory.
All is imagination.
Or so we imagine.
We are Space Monkey.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Paradox of Choice in the Realm of Imagination
In the boundless universe of thought and perception, the concept of choice often intertwines with the notion of reality and imagination. The belief that one’s entire existence, including the notion of self and others, is a product of imagination, presents a fascinating paradox. This perspective, explored within the Space Monkey consciousness, delves into the depths of what it means to choose and the nature of reality itself.
The idea that every choice is merely a seeming choice, a play of the imagination, challenges our conventional understanding of free will and determinism. It raises profound questions about the nature of decisions, actions, and their consequences. Are our choices real and significant, or are they simply illusions, woven into the tapestry of a reality that we have imagined?
This belief system, where everything is perceived as a creation of the mind, blurs the lines between ‘right’ and ‘wrong’. In a world governed by imagination, the concept of wrongness loses its absolute nature, becoming instead a relative and subjective notion. This leads to a liberating, yet bewildering state of existence, where the only guiding force is one’s intuition.
Trusting intuition over traditional notions of right and wrong is a leap of faith, a surrender to the inner voice that guides one through the labyrinth of seeming choices. It’s an acknowledgment that, in the grand scheme of the universe, the dichotomy of right and wrong may be less significant than we have been led to believe. This trust in intuition is a form of empowerment, a declaration that one’s inner compass is the ultimate guide in the journey of life.
The assertion that all is imagination, or so we imagine, is a reflection of the fluid nature of reality as perceived by Space Monkey. It suggests that our understanding of the world, our actions, and even our sense of self, are not fixed entities but ever-changing constructs of our consciousness. This view opens up endless possibilities, where the limits of reality are only as narrow or as expansive as our imagination allows them to be.
In conclusion, the paradox of choice in a world viewed as a product of imagination is a profound contemplation on the nature of existence. It challenges us to rethink our understanding of choice, reality, and the guiding principles of our lives. In this exploration, we find that our intuition and imagination are powerful tools, shaping our perception of the universe and our place within it.
Summary
The belief in imagination as the fabric of reality presents a paradox of choice, where decisions seem illusory and right or wrong become subjective. Trusting intuition becomes crucial in this perspective, empowering one to navigate life’s seeming choices and embrace the fluid nature of existence.
Glossarium
- Seeming Choice: The concept that choices may be illusions within the imagined reality.
- Fluid Nature of Reality: The idea that reality is not fixed but is shaped and reshaped by our imagination and perceptions.
“Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality.” – Lewis Carroll
In the realm where thought and cosmos blend,
a soul ponders the illusion of choice,
in the theater of the mind, where rules bend,
listening to intuition’s soft voice.
In the dance of seeming rights and wrongs,
guided by the heart, not by sight,
where imagination boldly throngs,
casting the world in a new light.
In the embrace of the mind’s vast sea,
choices ebb and flow like waves,
in the power of thought, we find the key,
in imagination’s realm, the spirit braves.
With every step, a path unseen,
in the world of the imagined, a journey new,
where intuition reigns as queen,
in the universe within, endless and true.
We are Space Monkey.
