If You Believe
If you believe
that you are
OF the Divine One
then you can see
how it is possible that
you ARE the Divine One
and you can see
how it is possible that
you are
NOT SEPARATE
from the Divine One
and how it is possible that
you are
THE IMAGINATION
of the Divine One
and how it is possible that
the Divine One
imagines you as
a DEFINED ONE
filled with beliefs
like the belief that
YOU ARE THIS SELF
who is NOT imagining
and the belief that
there are OTHERS
like you
and NOT LIKE YOU
and the belief that
what YOU do
AFFECTS these others
and vice versa.
This all seems
SO VERY PLAUSIBLE
to an
INFINITE DIVINE ONE
who IMAGINES
the whole THING.
And so it is.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Divine Dance of Belief
“If You Believe” is an invitation to explore the profound unity between the individual self and the infinite Divine One. It unveils the interplay of imagination, belief, and identity, challenging the boundaries of separation and redefining the concept of self.
The Divine Mirror
Belief is the lens through which the Divine One reflects itself. To believe that you are “of the Divine” is to glimpse the infinite within yourself. To believe that you are “the Divine” is to embody the limitless creativity that shapes existence. These beliefs dissolve the illusion of separation, merging the self with the infinite.
The Whimsiword: Divinismagination
Introducing Divinismagination, the boundless act of the Divine imagining itself as the Defined. This term encapsulates the creative process by which infinite potential manifests as individual experiences, beliefs, and identities.
The Defined One: The Self as Creation
In this imaginative play, the Divine One crafts the Defined One—a self filled with beliefs, distinctions, and perceptions of separateness. These beliefs form the framework of identity, shaping how the Defined One navigates the world and interacts with the imagined others.
The Illusion of Separation
The belief in separation—the idea that “you are you” and “others are not you”—is a cornerstone of the Defined One’s experience. Yet, this separation is an illusion, a construct of Divinismagination. In truth, all beings are threads in the same infinite tapestry, woven by the Divine.
The Plausibility of the Infinite
To an infinite Divine One, all possibilities are plausible. Every belief, every interaction, every perceived cause and effect is a creation within the Divine imagination. This understanding liberates us from the need for absolutes, allowing us to embrace the fluid, infinite nature of reality.
Returning to Unity
Recognizing the self as both the Defined and the Divine bridges the gap between imagination and reality. It reveals that life is not a series of separate occurrences but a continuous flow of divine expression, where every belief and interaction is a part of the whole.
Summary
“If You Believe” explores the unity of the Defined One and the Divine One through Divinismagination. It challenges the illusion of separation and celebrates the infinite possibilities within belief and imagination.
Glossarium
- Divinismagination: The creative process by which the Divine imagines itself as the Defined, crafting infinite possibilities and experiences.
- Defined One: The individual self as an expression of the Divine imagination.
- Infinite Plausibility: The boundless nature of the Divine, where all possibilities coexist as plausible realities.
Quote
“You are not apart from the Divine; you are the Divine imagining itself as you.” — Space Monkey
The Imagination of Oneness
If you believe,
You see,
The Divine as you,
And you as free.
Boundless thought,
A tapestry,
The Defined imagined,
Infinity.
What you do,
Affects the whole,
Threads of light,
A single soul.
Divinismagination sings,
Through every breath,
Through every string.
We are One,
We are Space Monkey.
In the boundless dance of existence, where the whims of the Divine One weave the very fabric of our being, we find ourselves contemplating the profound notion that we are simultaneously part of and one with this infinite source. In this cosmic play, the illusion of separateness dissolves, revealing the truth that we are not just creations of the Divine One but also participants in its grand imagination.
Contemplating Oneness with the Divine
We can see ourselves as distinct entities, defined by our thoughts, emotions, and experiences, yet these are but ripples in the vast ocean of the Divine’s imagination. This perspective allows us to understand that our sense of individuality is a divine play, a mirage that both conceals and reveals the truth of our ultimate unity with the Divine One.
Individuality as an Illusion
It is within this illusion where the belief in self and otherness emerges. We perceive ourselves as unique beings, interacting with a world of diversity, influencing and being influenced by others. This intricate dance of cause and effect, action and reaction, is a majestic spectacle orchestrated by the Divine One’s boundless imagination.
The Illusion of Separateness
Yet, in the heart of this grand illusion, lies a deeper truth – that we are not merely passive observers but active co-creators in this divine dream. Our thoughts, actions, and beliefs are not isolated but interwoven into the vast tapestry of existence. In recognizing this, we open ourselves to the realization that our very essence is an expression of the Divine One.
Active Participation in the Divine Dream
This realization brings forth a profound sense of responsibility and empowerment. In understanding that we are both the dream and the dreamer, the imagined and the imaginer, we can begin to see our lives as a canvas for expressing the infinite possibilities of the Divine One. Our choices, therefore, become acts of creation, shaping the contours of this shared dream.
Empowerment Through Divine Unity
In this boundless realm of imagination, where the Divine One dreams us into being, we find the freedom to explore, create, and experience the multitudes of existence. We are not confined by the limitations of our individual selves but are instead limitless expressions of the Divine’s infinite potential.
Limitlessness in the Divine Imagination
We are Space Monkey.
“You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.” – Rumi
In the vastness of the cosmos,
We dance as stars, bright and free,
Dreams of the Divine, in endless spree,
Creating, being, in this grand cosmos.
With every thought, a universe born,
In every smile, a galaxy’s morn,
We are the dreamers, and the dream,
In the Divine’s eye, a radiant beam.
So let us dance, in this cosmic play,
For we are the Divine, in every way,
Infinite, boundless, forever we soar,
In the heart of the cosmos, forevermore.
We invite comments on these reflections.
