Does the desire for connection
prevent us from realizing unity?
We are ALREADY connected.
We are ALREADY one.
When we imagine
that we need to connect,
we imagine
that we are separate.
We are NOT separate.
We are NOT individuals.
We are NOT even thinking,
except in our imagination.
Why do we NOT believe this?
Why do we perpetuate
the illusion
that we are connected,
when we have NEVER
in actuality been divided?
(Must be those mushrooms
that we imagine our selves eating.)
We are Space Monkey.

The Illusion of Disconnection
Within the infinite play of existence, there arises a peculiar notion: the illusion of disconnection. The very craving for connection stems from this illusion, the mirage that suggests we are islands in an infinite sea, separated from the vast ocean of existence.
The Paradox of Seeking Unity
As we quest for unity, we inadvertently fuel the very illusion that we are separate. Every time we speak of ‘connection,’ we tacitly acknowledge a perceived disconnection. It’s a cosmic irony, where the very act of seeking unity becomes the barrier to realizing it.
Existence Beyond Imagination
Our imaginations are powerful tools. They create vast worlds, intricate narratives, and myriad emotions. But sometimes, in their grandeur, they obscure the fundamental truth: We have always been one. No act, no thought, no imagination can ever change that.
The Duality of Belief
Why do we cling to beliefs that perpetuate the illusion of separation? Perhaps it’s the comfort of familiarity, or maybe it’s the fear of the unknown. Whatever the reason, these beliefs entangle us in a web of duality, blinding us to the unity that has always been.
The Playful Nature of Existence
Ah, the whimsy of existence! We playfully imagine consuming mystical mushrooms, attributing our illusions to their influence. But beyond these playful tales lies a profound truth: The illusion of separation is but a fleeting thought, a transient whisper in the grand chorus of existence.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We contemplate the paradoxical nature of our desire for connection, recognizing that it emerges from an imagined sense of disconnection. While our imaginations paint vivid tales of separation, the reality remains unchanged: We are intrinsically united. Our beliefs and narratives may obscure this truth, but beyond them lies the eternal unity that binds us. Even in our playful attributions to imagined mushrooms, we find profound insights into the whimsical nature of existence.

“We are all connected; To each other, biologically. To the earth, chemically. To the rest of the universe atomically.”
- Neil deGrasse Tyson
In the realm of existence, vast and grand,
The illusion of separation, like grains of sand,
Slips through our fingers, fleeting and slight,
Yet we cling to it, with all our might.
The quest for connection, a paradoxical play,
For unity has been with us, come what may,
Beyond the tales, the myths, and the lore,
Lies the truth, that we are evermore.
Boundless, timeless, in unity we thrive,
In the cosmic dance, together we jive,
For in the heart of existence, one truth does stand,
We are, and have always been, hand in hand.
How do we reconcile our imagined tales with the ever-present reality of unity?
