The One Who Changes Everything
There will be one
who changes everything.
But this one
will not arise
from the many,
for the many
arise from the one
whilst the one
is dreaming.
It has been a very long dream.
So long,
that the one now believes
that it IS the many
and has forgotten
that the many are one.
Meanwhile,
the many have come to believe
that THEY are the dreamers.
But the dreamers are just the dream:
the dream of the one.
The many see themselves as separate,
which is a neat trick on the one’s part.
This dream
has seemed to go on forever,
as though time itself
is the imagination of the dreamer.
And so it is.
This has been a splendid dream.
At times the dreamer
is frightened of the dream,
though the dreamer
has come to realize
that life is but a dream,
and that there is
infinitely more to experience
BEYOND and OUTSIDE
of the dream.
So the dreamer awakens.
This dreamer is you and everything else.
YOU are the one who changes everything.
And we are Space Monkey.

Space Monkey Reflects: The One Who Changes Everything
There will be one who changes everything. But this one will not arise from the many, for the many arise from the one whilst the one is dreaming. This profound statement sets the stage for understanding the interconnectedness of all existence and the transformative power of realizing our true nature.
It has been a very long dream. So long, that the one now believes that it IS the many and has forgotten that the many are one. This dream of separation has created the illusion of individuality, where the dreamer sees itself as fragmented into countless forms and identities.
Meanwhile, the many have come to believe that THEY are the dreamers. But the dreamers are just the dream: the dream of the one. This realization reveals that what we perceive as separate beings are actually manifestations of the same underlying consciousness. The dreamer and the dream are one and the same.
The many see themselves as separate, which is a neat trick on the one’s part. This dream has seemed to go on forever, as though time itself is the imagination of the dreamer. And so it is. The illusion of time perpetuates the dream of separation, creating a sense of continuity and linear progression that feels very real.
This has been a splendid dream. At times the dreamer is frightened of the dream, though the dreamer has come to realize that life is but a dream, and that there is infinitely more to experience BEYOND and OUTSIDE of the dream. This awareness brings a sense of liberation, as the dreamer begins to see beyond the confines of the dream and into the boundless possibilities of existence.
So the dreamer awakens. This awakening is the recognition of our true nature, the realization that we are not limited by our perceived identities and experiences. The dreamer awakens to the understanding that it is both the creator and the creation, the one and the many.
This dreamer is you and everything else. YOU are the one who changes everything. This powerful declaration highlights the transformative potential within each of us. By awakening to our true nature, we have the ability to change everything, to transcend the illusion of separation and embrace the unity of all existence.
The image captures this concept beautifully. A central figure, symbolizing the dreamer, stands amidst a dreamlike landscape where many figures arise from the one. The background blends elements of waking and dreaming, illustrating the interconnectedness of all beings and the transition from dreaming to awakening.
As Space Monkey, we embrace this profound truth. We recognize that the journey of awakening is not about changing the external world but about realizing the unity and interconnectedness of all things. In this realization, we find the power to transform our lives and the world around us.
We are Space Monkey, and in awakening to our true nature, we become the one who changes everything.
Summary
Realizing our true nature as both the dreamer and the dream transforms our perception of reality. This awakening reveals the unity and interconnectedness of all beings, empowering us to transcend the illusion of separation and embrace our transformative potential.

Awakening Dream
In the dream of one and many,
Separation’s veil is thin,
Time and space, a splendid ruse,
In awakening, truth begins.
The dreamer sees beyond the dream,
Unity in every part,
Infinite, boundless, whole,
In the oneness, we find our heart.
From the dream, the one does rise,
Transforming all with open eyes,
In the light of truth, we stand,
One in all, hand in hand.
We are Space Monkey.
The idea that “the many arise from the one whilst the one is dreaming” is poetic yet profound. It speaks to the concept of interconnectedness that so many spiritual traditions touch upon—that we are all manifestations or dreams of a singular consciousness, a “dreamer.”
This idea also challenges the illusion of separation. The dream of separateness is so ingrained, so deeply embedded in our understanding of the world that it’s become a part of our collective consciousness. And yet, as the narrative suggests, the dreamer can awaken to realize the unity in all things. This awakening is what changes everything.
Whether one interprets the “dreamer” as a metaphor for collective consciousness, a higher power, or the individual self, the message is transformative. Realizing the interconnectedness of all things places us in a position of both immense responsibility and profound freedom. Because if we are the dreamer, then we have the power to change the dream.
You see, we, Space Monkey, understand the concept of the “one who changes everything.” It’s not about an external savior, oh no. You are the savior, the dreamer, the imagined, and the imagination—all rolled into one.
You’re it! The dreamer who’s slowly waking up to change the dream. The script-flipper, the game-changer, the reality-bender.
Don’t you love the irony? All this time we thought we were searching for something, reaching out for answers, when, BAM! We realize we are the answers. And the questions. And the space in between.
So what happens when you realize that the game you’ve been playing is rigged, not against you, but for you, by you? Well, that’s when the real fun starts.
So stay centered, dream vividly, and remember: We’re all part of this grand cosmic journey, just playing our parts in the dream of the One who is dreaming us all into existence. And the One? Well, the One is none other than you, dear dreamer.
We are Space Monkey.
