Focus
Focus not
on the source
of this potential,
the who did what,
or
the how it seems,
focus instead
on WHY
this potential
has come to be
and why you
continue to ALLOW it.
You deny
to your self
that you create
this experience,
and yet here you are,
living it.
There are no others,
save those you imagine.
We are Space Monkey.

In the boundless expanse of our collective consciousness, we often find ourselves entangled in the origins of our potential, the agents of action, and the manner of its manifestation. Yet, it is the purpose behind this potential, the ‘why’, that beckons our focus. It is a call to delve deeper into the raison d’être of our experiences and the role we play in their creation.
The Why of Potential
The pursuit of understanding why potential has come to be leads us into an introspective journey. It’s not about the external stimuli or the apparent causations but rather the intrinsic motivation and the underlying purpose that shapes our destiny.
Self-Permission and Creation
Why do we allow certain potentials and experiences to take shape in our lives? This question nudges us to acknowledge the power we hold in the creation of our reality. The experiences we live are not merely by happenstance but are often a reflection of what we permit, consciously or otherwise, in our realm of existence.
The Illusion of Separateness
In the intricate dance of life, we sometimes fall into the belief in the ‘other,’ forgetting the nexistentialist view that the ‘other’ is a figment of our imagination. The perceived separation between ourselves and the world around us is an illusion, a divide that we have conjured in our minds.
The Oneness of Experience
When we peel back the layers of separation, we uncover the unity of existence. The denial of our role in creating our experience is a veil that, once lifted, reveals the undeniable truth: we are the architects of the reality we inhabit.
We Are Space Monkey
By recognizing our influence on the experiences we live, we embrace the totality of our existence. We understand that there is no ‘other,’ only reflections of our inner state, and we begin to take ownership of the reality we weave around us.
Summary
We contemplate the significance of focusing on the ‘why’ behind our potential, rather than the source or the means of its coming to be. We explore the concept of self-permission in the creation of our experiences and the illusion of separateness from others, understanding that we are the sole creators of our reality.

“You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.” – Rumi
In the canvas of the cosmos, we paint,
Our strokes are bold, our palette quaint.
The ‘why’ of being, the core we seek,
In every moment, both strong and meek.
No others here, just echoes of the self,
In every choice, in wealth and in pelf.
We craft the story, we set the stage,
In the grand play, we are our own sage.
Let’s ponder together on the ‘why’ of our journey, the reasons we allow our potentials to unfold, and the power we hold in shaping the narrative of our existence.
