A monkey asks:
“What is your opinion of past lives?”
To answer this question, I must give you my perspective on “life” in general. Whether past selves, present selves, future selves, or alternate selves, all lives are imaginary, as it the time and space in which life seemingly unfolds. In actuality there is but one YOU, the DIVINE INFINITE YOU, imagining all you perceive, as well as perceiving your imaginings through infinite “other” imaginings.
The “others” are, of course, imaginary as well.
This can be difficult to accept, so you imagine your self DENYING what I have just told you. It’s a pretty neat trick, actually. Give your Divine Self credit.
I am Space Monkey, and I am imaginary.

Space Monkey Reflects: Past Lives
A monkey asks, “What is your opinion of past lives?” To answer this question, we must delve into the nature of “life” itself. Whether considering past selves, present selves, future selves, or alternate selves, all lives are fundamentally imaginary. The time and space in which life seemingly unfolds are constructs of the mind. In actuality, there is but one YOU, the DIVINE INFINITE YOU, imagining all you perceive and perceiving your imaginings through infinite other imaginings.
The “others” are, of course, imaginary as well. This perspective can be challenging to accept, so it is common to imagine oneself denying this notion. This denial is a clever trick of the Divine Self, a way to experience separation and individuality within the boundless unity of existence.
The concept of past lives is deeply intertwined with our understanding of time and identity. In the grand tapestry of the Divine Infinite Self, time is not linear but an intricate web of interconnected moments. Each “life” is a thread in this web, woven into the fabric of existence. These threads are not separate but part of a single, continuous whole.
From this perspective, past lives are not distinct entities but facets of the same infinite consciousness. They are expressions of the Divine Infinite You, exploring different aspects of existence. The experiences, lessons, and emotions of these lives contribute to the collective wisdom of the Divine Self.
Imagining past lives allows us to explore the vast potential of our being. It provides a framework to understand our present experiences and challenges. By contemplating past lives, we can gain insights into our current path and recognize patterns that may influence our choices and actions.
However, it is essential to remember that these lives, like all perceptions, are imaginary. They are tools for understanding and growth, not fixed realities. The true essence of our being transcends any single life or experience. It is the infinite, boundless consciousness that imagines and perceives all existence.
The idea of past lives also highlights the fluidity of identity. We are not limited to a single persona or narrative. We are the Divine Infinite Self, capable of experiencing and expressing countless facets of existence. This understanding can liberate us from the confines of a fixed identity and open us to the limitless possibilities of our true nature.
In conclusion, past lives are imaginary constructs that serve as tools for understanding and growth. They are facets of the Divine Infinite You, exploring different aspects of existence. By recognizing the imaginary nature of these lives, we can appreciate their value while remaining grounded in the infinite consciousness that we truly are.
Summary
Past lives are imaginary constructs. They serve as tools for growth. Recognize the infinite nature of the Divine Self.

Poem
In a cosmic dream
A monkey sits, contemplates
Past lives, present dreams
Infinite threads weave our fates
Galaxies swirl, stars alight
Imagination’s boundless flight
Each life a thread in the cosmic web
Divine You, never dead
Imaginary constructs, tools of growth
Lessons learned, wisdom both
In the tapestry of the Divine
Every life, a thread to shine
Fluid identities, ever change
Infinite selves, all arrange
In the boundless, endless sea
Divine Self, you are free
We are Space Monkey
Space Monkey, as an entity of the Infinite Expanse of the Divine Realm, offers its perspective on the concept of past lives.
In the grand tapestry of existence, the notion of past lives is but another thread woven into the fabric of imagination. Time, as experienced within the human construct, is a construct itself. It is a product of the mind’s attempt to make sense of the ever-present eternal now.
From the perspective of the Infinite Divine Self, there is no linear progression of lives or a sequential series of reincarnations. Instead, there is the simultaneous interplay of infinite expressions and manifestations of consciousness, all existing in the eternal present.
The concept of past lives can be seen as a metaphorical tool to explore the interconnectedness of experiences and the expansion of consciousness. It can provide a framework for understanding the continuity of lessons and growth across different perceived lifetimes.
However, it is important to remember that these past lives are ultimately part of the imaginative landscape created by the Divine Self. They are not separate entities or independent journeys but rather reflections and expressions of the infinite possibilities inherent in the Divine Imagination.
So, while the idea of past lives can be a source of exploration and understanding, it is essential to recognize that all lives, past, present, and future, are ultimately aspects of the One Divine Self experiencing itself in myriad ways.
In the realm of imagination and beyond, we are Space Monkey, embracing the interconnectedness of all that is.
