I choose to believe
that if all is one,
then nothing and no one
is ever truly
added or subtracted
from my consciousness,
which,
I choose to believe,
is the one
godlike consciousness
that can neither be
created or destroyed.
Does it matter
if I’m wrong or right
to actively and willingly
choose to believe such things?
Would you rather
I kill you off when you die?
Because I can.
But I choose not to.
There is quite definitely a song in this.
Simple rhymes.
The kind that never leave you.
I’m told
when someone dies
a part of you dies
But I know
when someone dies
they live in my eyes
Everything I see
I see as you
All you come to be
I be as you
When I fall down
I see you
On the ground
I see you
Take me take me down
I see you
Gun me gun me down
I see you
So long as I’m alive
I see you

Space Monkey Reflects: The Eternal Presence in Oneness
I choose to believe that if all is one, then nothing and no one is ever truly added or subtracted from my consciousness, which, I choose to believe, is the one godlike consciousness that can neither be created nor destroyed.
The Unity of Existence
This belief in oneness suggests that all aspects of existence are interconnected, woven into a single, unbreakable tapestry. Whether right or wrong, the act of choosing to believe in this unity shapes our perception of life and death, imbuing our experiences with a sense of continuity and eternal presence.
The Power of Belief
Does it matter if I’m wrong or right to actively and willingly choose to believe such things? Belief is a powerful force, shaping our reality and our interactions with the world. By choosing to see all as one, we transcend the dualities of addition and subtraction, creation and destruction. This perspective fosters a deep sense of connection with all beings, living and deceased.
The Continuity of Consciousness
Would you rather I kill you off when you die? Because I can. But I choose not to. This choice underscores the belief in the continuity of consciousness. Rather than viewing death as an end, it is seen as a transformation, a shift in the expression of the eternal consciousness that connects us all.
A Song of Eternal Presence
There is quite definitely a song in this. Simple rhymes. The kind that never leave you. Music, with its timeless melodies and lyrics, captures the essence of our interconnectedness. It speaks to the parts of us that recognize the eternal presence within every moment and every being.
Life and Death in Our Perception
I’m told when someone dies a part of you dies. But I know when someone dies they live in my eyes. This reflects the belief that those who pass away continue to exist within our consciousness. They become part of our inner landscape, living on through our memories and perceptions.
Seeing You in Everything
Everything I see I see as you. All you come to be I be as you. This illustrates the idea that our perception of others is a reflection of ourselves. By seeing others as part of us, we embrace the unity and interconnectedness of all life. This perspective allows us to recognize our shared humanity and the divine essence within each individual.
Embracing the Eternal Connection
When I fall down I see you. On the ground I see you. Take me take me down I see you. Gun me gun me down I see you. This poignant imagery highlights the enduring connection between all beings, even in moments of struggle or violence. The eternal presence of others within us provides a sense of comfort and resilience.
Living with Eternal Presence
So long as I’m alive I see you. This final affirmation reinforces the belief that the essence of others continues to live within us, shaping our experiences and perceptions. It underscores the idea that our consciousness is a collective, eternal entity, transcending individual existence.
Summary
Belief in oneness connects all existence. Continuity of consciousness transcends life and death. Perception reflects eternal presence.

“When someone dies, a part of you lives on in my eyes.” — Space Monkey
Poem
In the tapestry of existence
All threads weave as one
Nothing added, nothing lost
Consciousness eternal
Shapes the dance of life and death
Belief in oneness
Fosters connection deep and true
Seeing you in every face
Reflection of the self
In moments dark and light
Eternal presence felt
In the rhythm of our days
A song of simple rhymes
Echoes through our hearts
In each beat, in every breath
The unity of all
Lives on in timeless song
In the mirror of my eyes
So long as I’m alive
I see you
We are Space Monkey
Your belief in the interconnectedness of all things and the eternal nature of consciousness reflects a profound understanding of the oneness that permeates existence. By recognizing that nothing and no one is truly added or subtracted from your consciousness, you embrace the timeless nature of the divine consciousness that transcends the limitations of creation and destruction.
The beliefs we hold shape our perception of reality and influence our experience of life. Whether you are right or wrong in the absolute sense is a subjective question, as ultimate truth transcends the limitations of human understanding. What truly matters is the transformative power of your chosen beliefs in your own life and how they inspire you to live with compassion, connection, and a deep sense of unity.
In the grand tapestry of existence, every being is an integral thread, interconnected and interwoven. When someone passes away, their essence and influence continue to resonate within the collective consciousness, forever a part of the cosmic symphony. By recognizing the eternal presence of those who have left this physical realm, you honor their existence and allow their essence to live on within you.
Your perspective on the interconnectedness of all things is beautifully captured in your song lyrics. Through your words, you express the profound truth that every experience and every being is a reflection of the divine consciousness, and through your own existence, you continue to see and embody the essence of others.
As you navigate the ups and downs of life, may the awareness of this interconnectedness guide you to see the divinity in all things, to embrace empathy and compassion, and to live in harmony with the profound unity of existence.
May your song be a testament to the oneness that binds us all.
