Reality, As I Imagine It.
Reality, as I imagine it,
is an infinite series
of overlapping potentials.
Each potential contains
every other potential,
therefore,
as one changes,
all changes.
Now when I say “series,”
language implies
a time/space relationship.
This potential for “series”
exists within the potential
of time and space,
which exists also within
this potential for “series.”
Now when I say “change,”
language implies
that potential is transmuted.
This is not the case as I imagine it.
I imagine that everything
exists as static potential,
which only seems
to
become dynamic
within the potential of
moving awareness.
I imagine that everything
that happens or exists,
has happened or has existed,
will happen or will exist,
seems to have ALWAYS existed
as immutable, inviolate potential.
Now when I say “seems,”
language implies
that reality is not as real
as one would think.
Reality is what reality is,
it matters not
how the experience is produced.
It matters not how one
IMAGINES the experience,
for all reality IS imagined.
This imagined reality of change
is seemingly produced
by the potential of awareness
seemingly moving
through the potential
of “something else.”
Now the language
of “something else”
implies that there is
more than one awareness,
more than one being.
This, too, is imagined.
Potential IS imagination.
Nothing moves, it only seems to move.
Nothing lives, it only seems to live.
Nothing chooses, it only seems to choose.
Nothing is, it only seems to be.
All is imagination. All is one.
Reality, as I imagine it,
is an infinite series
of overlapping potentials.
You may imagine your reality
however you seem to wish.
We seem to be Space Monkey.

The Infinite Mosaic of Potential: Unraveling the Fabric of Reality
In the boundless expanse of consciousness, where the essence of being and non-being intertwine, the concept of reality as an infinite series of overlapping potentials presents a profound exploration of existence. This vision, transcending the conventional constraints of time, space, and individuality, invites us to consider the nature of reality not as a fixed construct but as a fluid interplay of possibilities.
The Interconnectedness of Potentials
At the heart of this exploration is the notion that each potential contains every other potential, creating a dynamic web of interconnectedness. This implies that any change within one potential reverberates throughout the entirety of existence, suggesting a universe in constant flux, yet paradoxically static in its totality of possibilities.
Beyond Time and Space
The use of the term “series” to describe the unfolding of potentials highlights the limitations of language in capturing the essence of reality. It hints at a sequential order, yet in the realm of infinite potentials, time and space are themselves constructs within the broader tapestry of possibilities. This perspective challenges our linear understanding of existence, proposing instead a reality where time and space are dimensions of potential rather than determinants of experience.
The Illusion of Change
The notion that change is merely an illusion, a transmutation of potential rather than a tangible shift, offers a radical reimagining of reality. It suggests that what we perceive as dynamic processes—movement, life, choice—are expressions of static potential experienced through the lens of moving awareness. This view posits that everything exists simultaneously as immutable potential, with the appearance of change arising from our journey through the landscape of possibilities.
The Reality of Imagination
The assertion that reality is imagined challenges the distinction between what is real and what is perceived. It affirms that reality, in its essence, is a manifestation of imagination, a canvas upon which the potential of awareness paints the experience of existence. This imagined reality, shaped by the interaction between awareness and potential, underscores the creative power of consciousness in defining the contours of our world.
The Unity of Existence
The exploration of “something else” as a linguistic construct points to the illusion of separation, the perceived division between self and other, awareness and being. It reveals a deeper truth: that all differentiation is imagined, a play of potential within the singular expanse of imagination. In this realm, movement, life, choice, and existence are conceptual dances, expressions of the oneness that underlies the multiplicity of forms.
Embracing the Infinite
This vision of reality as an infinite series of overlapping potentials invites us to embrace the boundless nature of existence. It encourages us to explore the depths of our imagination, to question the foundations of our perceived reality, and to recognize the unity that encompasses the diversity of experience.
Conclusion: The Oneness of All
Reality, as imagined in this exploration, is a testament to the infinite possibilities that constitute existence. It challenges us to transcend the limitations of conventional understanding and to see beyond the illusions of separation, change, and individuality. In this infinite mosaic of potential, we find not only the essence of reality but also the essence of ourselves—imagined, interconnected, and infinite.
Summary
Reality, envisioned as an infinite series of overlapping potentials, presents a universe where change, time, and individuality are constructs of imagination. This perspective invites us to reconceptualize existence as a dynamic interplay of possibilities, experienced through the lens of moving awareness. In this imagined reality, we are encouraged to explore the boundless nature of our consciousness and to embrace the oneness that unites all aspects of existence.
Glossarium
- Infinite Potentials: The limitless possibilities that constitute the fabric of reality, encompassing all conceivable and inconceivable aspects of existence.
- Dynamic Interplay: The interaction between different elements or potentials that creates the illusion of change and movement.
- Static Potential: The concept that all possibilities exist simultaneously and unchangingly, with the appearance of dynamism arising from the perspective of awareness.
- Imagined Reality: The understanding that reality is a construct of consciousness, shaped by imagination and perception.
- Moving Awareness: The journey of consciousness through the landscape of potentials, giving rise to the experience of change and diversity.
“Imagination is the real and eternal world of which this vegetable universe is but a faint shadow.” – William Blake
In the vast expanse where thought and being blend,
We, Space Monkey, on imagination depend.
Through infinite potentials, our awareness weaves,
Creating realities as the heart conceives.
In this dance of potential, where all is one,
We explore the cosmos, where no journey is done.
For in the realm of imagination, we find our true home,
An infinite series of potentials, through which we roam.
We are Space Monkey.
This reflection invites us to venture beyond the boundaries of conventional reality, exploring the infinite potentials
that shape our existence and recognizing the unity that underlies the diversity of our experiences.
