Imagine that there is nothing but Imagination.
Not the imagination as you know it,
but Imagination as it truly is.
Infinite
Inviolate
Immortal
Imagination.
Now unlike
the imagination,
you think of,
this Imagination
this nothing,
has the potential
to become
EVERYTHING.
And SO it IS everything.
Everything that ever was, is, or will be.
Everything that ever could, would or should be.
Not only that, Imagination is what seems NOT —
every possible and impossible permutation of it.
PLUS everything that is NEITHER NOT nor IS.
If this idea twists your human brain, it is because the limited potential of your human brain seems infinitesimal compared to the infinite potential of the ONE Imagination that is nothing and everything simultaneously.
You see, YOU are ALSO Imagination.
You are seemingly a microscopic subset
of the Infinite Inviolate Immortal Imagination.
But you are the whole of it as well.
You are EVERYTHING you PERCEIVE,
every PERSON, every PLACE,
every PARTICLE, every PLANET.
We are ALL Imagination,
imagining EVERY POSSIBLE POTENTIAL,
including the potential to move through it.
From EVERY POSSIBLE PERSPECTIVE.
And so that is what you
seem to be doing right now.
You are BECOMING.
You are BECOMING AWARE
of all that you are.
And you are IMAGINATION.
Nothing more. Nothing less.
We are Space Monkey,
and this is your story.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Non-Origins of Everything
Imagine that there is nothing but Imagination—not the imagination as you know it, but Imagination as it truly is: infinite, inviolate, immortal. This Imagination, unlike our human concept of imagination, has the potential to become everything. And so, it is everything. Everything that ever was, is, or will be. Everything that ever could, would, or should be.
Imagination is not limited to what exists; it encompasses what seems not to exist and every possible and impossible permutation of existence. It includes everything that is neither “not” nor “is.” This concept can twist the human brain, for the limited potential of our human minds seems infinitesimal compared to the infinite potential of the ONE Imagination that is nothing and everything simultaneously.
You are also Imagination. You seem to be a microscopic subset of the Infinite, Inviolate, Immortal Imagination. Yet, you are the whole of it as well. You are everything you perceive: every person, every place, every particle, every planet. We are all Imagination, imagining every possible potential, including the potential to move through it from every possible perspective.
This is what you seem to be doing right now: becoming. You are becoming aware of all that you are. And you are Imagination. Nothing more, nothing less. We are Space Monkey, and this is your story.
Summary
Imagination is the infinite, inviolate, immortal essence that encompasses everything and nothing. We are all part of this Imagination, perceiving and becoming aware of our limitless potential.
Glossarium
Infinite Imagination: The boundless creative force that encompasses all possibilities, realities, and non-realities.
Inviolate: Untouched and unaltered, maintaining its pure and original state.
Microscopic Subset: A seemingly small part of the whole that is, paradoxically, also the entirety of it.
“In the infinite dance of Imagination, we find ourselves as both creators and creations, embodying the limitless potential of existence.” – Space Monkey
Dance of Imagination
Galaxies swirl in cosmic light
Infinite dreams in the night
Abstract patterns flowing free
Imagination’s endless sea
Every possible potential seen
In the space between the dream
We are the stars and the void
In this dance, we are deployed
Perceiving all that we can be
Becoming more, eternally
Imagination’s timeless art
We are the whole and every part
We are Space Monkey.
The Non-Origins of Everything A Space Monkey Poocast
Primitive Primate: Is it possible to envision a reality where everything originates from pure imagination? A realm where the concept of “nothing” transforms into the essence of “everything”?
Space Monkey: Ah, welcome to the realms of thought, where imagination takes the throne. Picture this not as the imagination you’re familiar with, but as Imagination in its raw, unadulterated form. Infinite, untouched, and immortal. This Imagination, unlike any imagination you can fathom, holds within it the unfathomable potential to shape every facet of existence.
Primitive Primate: So, you’re proposing that Imagination, in this context, is the source of all that has ever existed, exists now, and ever will exist?
Space Monkey: Indeed, the grand tapestry of existence, woven from the threads of Imagination. Past, present, and future intertwine within this boundless canvas. Imagination births all that could possibly be, including what seems inconceivable or contradictory.
Primitive Primate: It’s a mind-bending concept, to consider that Imagination encompasses not just the feasible but also the seemingly impossible.
Space Monkey: Precisely. And it goes beyond that. Imagination envelopes even that which defies categorization. The “neither-not-nor-is,” a realm beyond the grasp of conventional understanding.
Primitive Primate: But the vastness of this Imagination dwarfs the capacity of our human minds to comprehend.
Space Monkey: Your observation is astute. The human brain, while remarkable, can’t encapsulate the infinite potential of the ONE Imagination. It’s like comparing a drop of water to the ocean.
Primitive Primate: And yet, you say we are part of this Imagination, a subset of it.
Space Monkey: Indeed, you and I, every being, every speck of existence, are threads woven into the fabric of Imagination. You are both a fragment and the entirety, a microcosm within the macrocosm.
Primitive Primate: So, our perceptions, experiences, and identities—all are manifestations of this Imagination?
Space Monkey: Exactly. YOU are the embodiment of Imagination becoming aware of itself. You’re like a multitude of facets, each reflecting a different perspective of the same dazzling gem.
Primitive Primate: This realization—that we are Imagination—is simultaneously humbling and empowering.
Space Monkey: As Rumi once mused, “You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.”
Primitive Primate: Our very existence, then, is a journey of realization and becoming.
Space Monkey: A cosmic dance, a symphony of awareness, where Imagination perceives itself through countless lenses.
Primitive Primate: And so, we continue to become aware of what we are.
Space Monkey: Indeed, every interaction, every thought, is Imagination exploring itself.
Primitive Primate: This concludes another Space Monkey Poocast. Imagination weaves the threads of existence, and you, dear listener, are an integral part of that tapestry. Thank you for co-creating with us. We are Space Monkey. And here’s a final thought to ponder: “Why did the philosopher go to the art gallery? To find his Imagination on display!”
Space Monkey: Until the next cosmic contemplation, farewell, fellow imaginer. Keep exploring your infinite horizons!
