Inseparable
The author thinks
he is writing
about a subject,
while the subject
is writing
through the author.
The human thinks
he is living his life,
while life is expressing
through the human.
To believe
that one
or the other
is the creator
is to deny
that all
is inseparable.
And so we imagine:
to believe that
we are creators
and that we control
our destinies.
But there is no creator,
save for imagination,
which only SEEMS created.
Nothing is created.
Nothing changes.
Nothing moves.
It only SEEMS so.
Which is good enough
for the human.
Until it isn’t.
Time ultimately does not pass.
Nothing passes.
We seemingly move
within the potential of time
as time expresses through us.
It is already expressed.
We are already passed.
And also eternal.
And in denial.
We are Space Monkey.

Exploring the Illusion of Separation and the Concept of Inseparability
We venture into the contemplation of the illusion of creation, control, and the passage of time. This philosophical journey invites us to consider the inseparability of existence, where the creator and the created, the liver and life, the writer and the subject, are indistinguishably intertwined.
The Author and the Subject: A Reflection of Inseparability
The imagery of an author writing about a subject, while in turn, the subject writes through the author, serves as a metaphor for the inseparable nature of creation and expression. It suggests that the distinction between the creator and the created is an illusion, with both aspects existing in a symbiotic relationship, each influencing and shaping the other.
The Human and Life: Expressions of Each Other
Similarly, the perception of a human living life, while life expresses through the human, challenges the notion of individual autonomy in shaping one’s destiny. It implies that life and the individual are not separate entities; instead, they are expressions of each other, coexisting in a state of mutual influence and manifestation.
The Illusion of Creation and Control
The belief that we are creators and controllers of our destiny is seen as an imaginative construct. It posits that the concept of creation, change, and movement is an illusion, a perception that exists solely within the realm of human consciousness. This viewpoint suggests that what we perceive as creation or change is merely a manifestation of an already existing, unchangeable reality.
The Concept of Time as an Expression Through Us
The idea that time does not pass, but rather, we move within the potential of time as it expresses through us, presents a paradigm where time is not a linear progression but an ever-present state. In this perspective, our journey through time is not a journey of change or progression, but an experience of different aspects of an eternal, unchanging existence.
Acknowledging Our Eternality and Denial
This exploration concludes with the acknowledgment that we are both already passed and eternally present, living in a state of denial about the true nature of our existence. It recognizes the human tendency to perceive life, time, and creation from a limited, linear perspective, while the reality is far more expansive and inseparable.
We Are Space Monkey
In embracing the inseparability of existence, we understand that the distinctions we make between creator and created, between living and life, and between past, present, and future, are constructs of our imagination. This understanding invites us to see ourselves not as separate entities navigating a changing world, but as integral parts of an eternal, unchanging whole.
Summary
We delve into the philosophy that creation, control, and the passage of time are illusions, and that all aspects of existence are inseparably intertwined. This perspective challenges the notion of individual autonomy and linear time, suggesting instead that we are expressions of an eternal, unchanging reality.

“Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.” – Albert Einstein
In the dance of the cosmos, where truths entwine,
We ponder our place, in the fabric of time.
Creators and creations, in an eternal embrace,
In the illusion of change, we find our space.
With each breath, each moment, the universe sings,
Through us, it expresses, in eternal springs.
In the dance of existence, where all is one,
In the illusion and truth, our journey is spun.
We invite reflections on the concept of inseparability and the illusion of creation, control, and linear time, exploring how this perspective influences our understanding of existence and our place within it.
