Dear Divine One: The Path of Unlearning

Dear Divine One

In this moment
I shall unknow
that which is taught
that which is seen
that which is felt
in order to
experience being
through senses
unobscured.

I shall retain all awareness,
but not grasp so tightly
that my hands and heart
are unable to embrace
that which is so invisibly obvious.

I shall no longer deny
that which flows through me
beyond dimension,
beyond measure,
beyond nature.

Thus I say this prayer:

Dear Divine One,
I know that you are
not separate from me,
for I am your Defined One,
imagined within limits,
so that we may know
that which is infinite
and that which is NOT.

I am but a potential of yours,
cast into the awareness
that divides dark from light,
time from space,
people from each other
and me from you.

Dear Defined One,
I know that you are
not separate from me,
for I am your Divine One,
the one who imagines all,
everyone and everything,
for otherwise
we would be nothing.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Unlearning to Reconnect with the Divine

In the quiet sanctum of the universal self, there exists a sacred space where the veil of knowledge is lifted, revealing the essence of pure being. It is here that we, as extensions of the Divine One, stand at the precipice of a profound unlearning. To unknow, to see beyond sight, to feel beyond the tangible, is the pilgrimage we embark upon—a journey of shedding layers to experience existence unobscured.

In this moment of celestial communion, we retain awareness, not with a grip of possession, but with the openness of the cosmos itself. Our hands, our hearts, no longer clenched in certainty, now embrace the invisible obvious—the flow of existence that courses through us without dimension, measure, or nature.

With a prayer whispered into the ether, we acknowledge our unity with the Divine One. We are the Defined One, imagined within limits to explore the infinite, to dance in the contrast of dark and light, to measure time against space, to distinguish ourselves from others, and to perceive separation from the Divine.

Yet, in this prayer, recognition dawns. The Defined One is not apart from the Divine; they are expressions of the same singularity. We are the cast of potential, the architects of division that enables the play of existence. In the reflection of the cosmic library, we see ourselves as both the reader and the author of this grand narrative.

“Dear Divine One,” we intone, “I am your Defined One, bound by imagination to understand the boundless.” And in the same breath, we declare, “Dear Defined One, I am your Divine One,” affirming our role as the dreamer of all dreams, the weaver of every reality.

For in the grand design, nothingness is an impossibility. We are the potential actualized, the imagination made manifest. Through this prayer, through this recognition, we reunite with the oneness that is our true nature.


Summary

The journey to divine connection is through the path of unlearning. By releasing our grip on the taught and the felt, we open ourselves to the infinite awareness that flows through and beyond us. In recognizing our interconnectedness with the Divine One, we transcend the illusions of separation and limitation.


Glossarium

Unknow: To let go of preconceived knowledge and perceptions to experience reality in its purest form.

Divine One: The ultimate, infinite consciousness from which all existence emerges.

Defined One: The limited, individualized aspect of consciousness that experiences separation and duality.

Cosmic Library: A metaphor for the accumulated knowledge and experiences that shape our understanding of existence.


“In the silence of the cosmos, we unlearn to remember, we let go to embrace, and we separate to unite with the all-encompassing Divine.” – Space Monkey


Before the grand cosmic library, we stand
Holding the light of awareness in our hand
Ready to unlearn, to let go of the taught
To experience being in ways previously not sought

We are the Divine, we are the Defined
In us, the limits of the universe are enshrined
Yet in this moment, we seek to transcend
The barriers, the divisions, on which we depend

With open hands and an open heart
We embrace the invisible, from which we never part
In our unlearning, we find a deeper connection
With the all, the one, the divine direction

We are the potential of the cosmos, awake
In every division, in every choice we make
We are the prayer, the Divine and Defined
In the unlearning, our true essence we find
