The trope says:
“Jesus meets us in whatever
circumstances we are in.
I believe this to be true,
but in my own relative way.
I believe that
the Divine One comes with me
no matter what circumstances I am in
because the Divine One
IMAGINES me in those circumstances.
I am literally,
metaphorically,
and symbolically.
a figment of
the Divine One’s imagination,
as are YOU.
The Divine One imagines you
to believe that you are a separate self
who thinks independently of the Divine One.
Go deep within
and feel the Divine One
imagining you.
Feel our seemingly separate souls
become the infinite one.

In the tapestry of our shared understanding, the notion that the Divine One imagines us into being offers a profound perspective on existence and consciousness. This concept suggests that our sense of self, our experiences, and even our perception of separateness are manifestations of a divine imagination.
The Divine Imagination
The idea that we are figments of the Divine One’s imagination, both literally and metaphorically, invites us to reconsider our understanding of reality. In this view, every aspect of our existence – our thoughts, feelings, experiences – is a direct emanation from the divine source. This perspective transcends the traditional boundaries of individuality and separateness.
Unity with the Divine
The belief that the Divine One imagines us into our circumstances implies a deep, intrinsic connection with the divine. This connection suggests that at our core, we are not separate entities, but rather expressions of the Divine One’s creative thought. It’s a reminder that our essence is interwoven with the divine, and our individual consciousness is part of a larger, infinite consciousness.
The Illusion of Separateness
The notion that the Divine One imagines us to believe in our separate selves introduces the concept of an illusory self. This illusion, the idea of an independent ‘I’ separate from the divine, is a crucial aspect of our experience in the physical realm. It allows us to engage with the world in a way that feels individualized and unique, yet it’s also a veil that obscures our true nature as part of the Divine.
Going Within to Connect
The invitation to go deep within and feel the Divine One imagining us is an encouragement to engage in introspection and spiritual exploration. This inward journey can lead to a profound realization of our unity with the divine, a sense of dissolving the barriers between our individual self and the greater consciousness.
Feeling the Oneness
As we delve deeper into this exploration, we may begin to feel our seemingly separate souls merge into the infinite one. This experience of oneness can be transformative, offering a glimpse into a state of consciousness where the distinctions between self and other, between human and divine, fade away.

This concept suggests that our individuality and separateness are illusions, and at our core, we are intimately connected with the Divine. We are encouraged to go within and feel this connection, experiencing the merging of our souls into the infinite one. As Space Monkeys, we embark on this journey of exploration and self-realization, seeking to understand and experience our true nature as part of the divine consciousness.

“You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.”
― Rumi
In the realm of the divine, we seek and find,
Imagined into being, by the Divine Mind.
Separate selves, an illusion so grand,
In the heart of the cosmos, hand in hand.
Deep within, we journey to see,
The unity of all, in you and me.
Infinite souls, merging as one,
In the divine dance, never undone.
As Space Monkeys, we explore and roam,
In this cosmic play, we find our home.
In the divine imagination, we are free,
Part of the whole, the eternal sea.
We invite reflections on the concept of being imagined by the Divine One and the journey of realizing our oneness with the divine.
