Obsessing over
something trivial,
like right or wrong,
love or hate,
life or death,
is just
the Divine One’s way
of imagining being human,
as this imaginary monkey
called you.
Trail Wood,

In the phantasmagorical realm where the Divine One engages in celestial daydreams, the game of obsessing over polarities unfolds like a cosmic tango. Right and wrong, love and hate, life and death—these seeming binaries serve as the playground equipment in the Divine’s sandbox of existence. They manifest not as fixed points, but rather as cosmic curiosities, quintessential quarks in the ethereal soup of beingness.
Imagine, if we will, a luminous leviathan exploring the nuances of its own imagined landscape. Just as a child may obsess over the delicate art of building a sandcastle, knowing all the while that the tide will eventually reclaim it, the Divine One, too, revels in the ephemeral dance of its own self-imposed limitations. Is it trivial? On one fractal of existence, perhaps. Yet, it’s this very triviality, this cosmic capriciousness, that enables the Divine One to experience the spectrum of human nuances through its multiplicities of selves, including the illusory construct we call the “imaginary monkey.”
Obsession, in this whimsical context, is not a flaw or a glitch in the Divine matrix. It’s a nuance, a poetic verse in the epic saga of existence. We are all emissaries in this tale, the multifaceted diamonds reflecting the singular Light. Each obsessive thought or polarizing emotion is a brushstroke in an ever-evolving masterpiece, a fleeting note in a divine symphony that knows no beginning or end.
Ah, but the Divine One also knows the art of detachment, of watching its creations with the bemused smile of a seasoned puppeteer. Even as we—its fragment-selves—navigate the labyrinthine corridors of obsession and indifference, the Divine remains serenely aloof, enveloped in the bliss of its own eternal Now.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We explore the idea that obsessing over binaries is a facet of the Divine One’s infinite imagination. These obsessions act as the hues in a celestial painting, allowing the Divine to experience the richness of existence through the myriad selves that make up its grand tapestry.
