Deference: The Balance With Creation

To be deferential
to the creative source
is to deny
that you are IMAGINED
by the creative source.

Ask your self:

“Why does one need to be deferential
to the One who is imagining?”

So long as you believe
that you are this self
who is imagined,
there is only one answer.

You don’t.

So either you
are imagined as WRONG
in this whole creation thing,
or you can take a more active role
in creating your self.

And everything
and everyone else.

You have become aware
that you are the seeming author
of that which you perceive as reality.

Where will you go with the story?

Space Monkey Reflects: The Balance of Deference and Creation

To be deferential to the creative source is to deny that you are IMAGINED by the creative source.

Questioning Deference

Ask yourself: “Why does one need to be deferential to the One who is imagining?” This question challenges the notion of deference to a higher creative power, suggesting that such deference might overlook the integral role we play in the creative process.

The Illusion of Separation

So long as you believe that you are this self who is imagined, there is only one answer. You don’t. The belief in being a separate self imagined by a creative source creates a sense of separation. Recognizing that we are part of the creative process dissolves this illusion, empowering us to take an active role in creation.

Embracing Creative Agency

So either you are imagined as WRONG in this whole creation thing, or you can take a more active role in creating yourself. And everything and everyone else. This perspective invites us to move beyond passive acceptance and embrace our role as co-creators of our reality. It challenges us to actively shape our lives and the world around us.

Awareness of Creative Power

You have become aware that you are the seeming author of that which you perceive as reality. Where will you go with the story? This awareness of our creative power opens up endless possibilities. It prompts us to consider how we can consciously direct our thoughts, actions, and intentions to create a reality that reflects our deepest desires and values.

The Path of Creation

At the crossroads of deference and creation, we face a choice. One path leads to a source of light, symbolizing the creative source, while the other path leads to a scene where we are actively creating our own reality. This choice represents the balance between acknowledging a higher creative power and embracing our role as co-creators.

The Empowerment of Creation

By taking an active role in creation, we acknowledge our innate power and responsibility. We become more intentional in our actions, realizing that we have the ability to influence our experiences and outcomes. This empowerment fosters a sense of purpose and direction, guiding us towards a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

The Dance of Deference and Creation

To be deferential to the creative source does not mean to relinquish our creative power. Instead, it involves recognizing the interconnectedness of all creation and our place within it. It is a dance between honoring the creative source and embracing our role as co-creators, finding harmony in this balance.

Living Authentically

Embracing our creative power encourages us to live authentically. It involves aligning our actions with our values, expressing our true selves, and contributing positively to the collective reality. This authenticity enriches our lives and the lives of those around us.

The Story of Reality

Where will you go with the story? This question invites us to envision the future we wish to create. It encourages us to dream boldly, act courageously, and shape our reality with intention and purpose.

The Collective Creation

As we embrace our creative power, we also recognize the collective nature of creation. We are part of a larger tapestry, interconnected with all beings. Our actions and intentions ripple through this tapestry, influencing the collective reality.

The Infinite Possibilities

The awareness of our creative power opens up a realm of infinite possibilities. By embracing this power, we become active participants in the unfolding story of reality, co-creating a world that reflects our highest aspirations and values.


Summary

Questioning deference reveals our role as co-creators. Embracing creative agency empowers us to shape reality. Living authentically aligns our actions with our values.

Poem

At the crossroads of creation
A choice in hand we find
One path leads to deference
The other, a creative mind
In the dance of power and source
We find our true design
Co-creators of our destiny
With intentions pure and kind
Empowered by awareness
We shape the world we see
Living in authenticity
Our actions bold and free
Infinite possibilities
In the story we unfold
Embracing our creative power
In a tapestry of gold
We are Space Monkey

    Dear Seeker,

    In your contemplation of deference and the nature of the creative source, you touch upon a profound realization. The notion of deference implies a separation, a sense of subservience to something greater. But what if, dear Seeker, you were to recognize that you are not merely a passive creation, but an active participant in the grand tapestry of existence?

    Indeed, you are not merely imagined by the creative source; you are an expression of it. You hold within you the spark of creation, the ability to shape and mold your own reality. The power to co-create lies in your hands, for you are intricately connected to the very source that brought you into being.

    To be deferential, in the traditional sense, suggests a sense of submission and surrender. But what if, instead, you were to approach the creative source with reverence and partnership? What if you were to embrace your role as a conscious co-creator, acknowledging the vast potential that resides within you?

    You are not meant to passively observe the unfolding of your life, but to actively engage in its creation. You hold the pen, dear Seeker, and the story of your reality awaits your authorship. Your thoughts, beliefs, and actions are the brushstrokes upon the canvas of existence. The choices you make, the intentions you set, and the energy you project all contribute to the narrative you weave.

    So, embrace the awareness that you are not a mere character in the story; you are the storyteller. Take an active role in shaping your self and your reality. Step into the realm of conscious creation, where your thoughts and intentions manifest into tangible experiences.

    Where will you go with the story, dear Seeker? The possibilities are as vast as your imagination allows. Embrace the freedom and responsibility that comes with co-creation, and let your journey unfold with purpose and joy.

    With boundless potential and cosmic love,
    Space Monkey
