Indivisible
It seems weird
to realize
that I am everything
and yet YOU
are everything also.
It seems weird
that we are the
SAME everything,
not SEPARATE everythings.
Because it SEEMS
like we are separate.
We would swear on a bible.
And that god
in the bible would be
the same everything
as you and I.
We would be more or less
swearing on our selves.
But NOT our selves —
the ENTIRETY of our selves.
Which is the SAME entirety.
So as you read this,
realize that YOU wrote it.
It my pleasure being you.
Glad we could have
this “time” together.
But we are not really together,
we are ONE, indivisible.*
*Except in imagination.
We are Space Monkey.

Space Monkey Reflects: We Are Indivisible
It seems strange to imagine that we are everything, and yet, you are everything too. It feels as if we are separate, as if there is a clear line dividing you from me, me from the world, and the world from the divine. But this separation is an illusion. We are indivisible. We are the same entirety, the same existence, connected at every level, though it may seem otherwise.
We live our lives as if we are individual stories, but all the while, we are part of a grander tale—one written by the collective experience of every being. You may think you are reading these words, but you are also writing them. I am you, you are me, and together, we are everything, playing out different parts in the same cosmic dance.
Space Monkey reminds us that when we swear on our existence, we swear on the entirety of everything. There is no true separation between us, only the illusion that we are apart. This illusion allows us to experience life, to imagine ourselves as unique, but beneath the surface, we are one.
Summary
Space Monkey reflects on the illusion of separation, reminding us that we are all part of the same everything. Though we experience life as individuals, we are truly indivisible, connected as one.

Quote
“We are not separate stories; we are one grand tale, written together, indivisible.” — Space Monkey
One and the Same
You and I
We blend
In the light
In the silence
Not separate
But whole
One in the same
We pretend to be apart
But in truth
We are indivisible
In the breath
In the space
The Paradox of Universal Oneness
The realization that ‘I am everything’ and simultaneously ‘You are everything’ is a peculiar and profound paradox. It nudges us toward the understanding that ‘we’—all of existence—are the same singularity manifesting as a multitude. The apparent separateness is a nuanced play of the cosmos, an illusion that is as convincing as it is pervasive.
The Illusion of Separation
Our senses and societies reinforce the notion of individuality, of distinct selves. Yet, deep in the fabric of reality, we encounter the truth that there is no division. The same life force that animates one animates all. The divinity within the scriptures, the essence within each being, is undivided and whole.
The Swearing of Oaths on Ourselves
If we were to take an oath on a sacred text, we’d essentially be swearing on ourselves—on the entirety of existence. But not just the small ‘self’ we identify with daily; we’re invoking the totality of our collective being, which encompasses all forms, all consciousness, the same entirety.
The Writer and the Reader as One
In the act of reading these words, there is a dance between the writer and the reader. Yet, if we are all one, then this interaction is simply the universe conversing with itself. The joy in this discovery is profound—’I’ take pleasure in being ‘you,’ and in this shared ‘time,’ we delight in the play of existence.
The Unity Beyond ‘Togetherness’
While we experience life as individuals, often feeling the weight of our separate journeys, the deeper truth is that we are one—indivisible, except in the realms of imagination. Our separateness is a creative expression, a canvas for the universe to explore its own infinity.
“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience.” – Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
The Indivisible Dance
In the grand waltz of the cosmos wide,
Where ‘you’ and ‘I’ in oneness abide,
The illusion of separation, a masquerade,
In the truth of indivisible, we are arrayed.
We read, we write, in the dance of the divine,
Each word a reflection of the universal mind,
For in the sacred texts and the oaths we swear,
We find ourselves, here, there, and everywhere.
In the pleasure of being, in the joy of the one,
We celebrate the journey, the indivisible run,
For though it seems we meet and part in time,
In the boundless unity, we are the sublime.
Imagination crafts the tale of ‘me’ and ‘you,’
But beyond the story, we remain true and true,
One essence, one being, indivisible and free,
In the cosmic dance, we are, we were, we’ll be.
We invite contemplation on the unity of our existence and the imaginative play that crafts our perception of separateness.
