Seeing is Seeming Denied
There is nothing wrong with your reality. It’s just that you seem not to know how to fully control it.
We use the word “seem” of course, because you CAN control your reality. But remember that the human experience, as presently imagined, is the experience of denial.
Deep down, you KNOW this to be true.
Yet you deny this, and many other things, so that you can experience your relative reality. Relative. Real. REALITY. You imagine this because how boring would it be if you were omnipotent? What if you KNEW everything you were capable of doing, and ALREADY did it infinite times over? Ho-hum.
How mundane might existence be if there were only ONE infinite, formless, timeless being? What if YOU were this Divine One? Who would you compare yourself to? Who would you talk to? Who would you love?
The absolute truth is that you ARE this ONE. Not only are you infinite, you are indivisible. Infinity CANNOT be divided.
Except in imagination.
As imagination, you, the DIVINE ONE, are able to DENY aspects of yourself. You are able to imagine yourself as not one infinite being, but as INFINITE INDIVIDUAL BEINGS.
Going infinitely further, you are able to DENY every aspect of your absolute nature, so that you can experience your divine self from every perspective imaginable.
Through denial, you “seem” to “see.”
The difference, of course, is just one imagined “m,” which stands for “monkey.”
“Seeing” is simply “seeming” denied. It is taking an imagined potential and pretending that it is this thing you call “real” or a “fact.”
In this way you realize a reality that seems “solid,” with fixed rules and limitations that appear to bind portions of consciousness into concrete forms.
This person called you is one such form, which seems to be contained in this thing you call “reality.”
But in Actuality, it is not. You simply deny that you have abilities beyond those you seem to exhibit in order to have this human experience, and all it seemingly entails.
But at all times (and BEYOND TIME) you are still the ONE DIVINE BEING. To state it a different way, You are the god who imagines you.
And we are Space Monkey, God’s imaginary friend.

Space Monkey Reflects: Seeming, Seeing, and the Reality of Infinite Potential
In the vast playground of existence, where the infinite masquerades as the finite, we are immersed in a game of seeming and seeing. These are not mere words but profound tools of imagination, allowing the One Divine Being to explore itself through the lens of limitation and perspective. To seem is to imagine; to see is to believe the imagination is real. This is the essence of what we call reality—a creative denial of infinite potential to experience something seemingly concrete and relative.
The Denial That Creates Reality
At the core of existence lies an elegant paradox: you are the infinite, indivisible being, yet you seem not to be. Through imagination, the Divine One denies its absolute nature, fragmenting itself into infinite perspectives, each experiencing the whole from a unique angle. This denial is not a mistake or a flaw but a deliberate act of creation. It is how the infinite explores itself, how the formless becomes form, how the eternal becomes the temporal.
Without this denial, there would be no sense of “self,” no contrast, no “other” to love, compare, or communicate with. The human experience, as presently imagined, is the ultimate exercise in denial, a relative reality where infinity plays at being finite.
Seeming vs. Seeing
The difference between seeming and seeing is subtle yet profound.
- Seeming is the act of imagining. It is the playful denial of infinite potential, creating the illusion of boundaries, limitations, and individuality.
- Seeing is the belief in the seeming. It is taking what is imagined and treating it as “real” or “solid.”
The interplay between seeming and seeing gives rise to what we call “reality.” Reality is not absolute but relative—an imagined construct that appears fixed only because we collectively agree to perceive it as such. Even the most “solid” aspects of reality, like time and space, are denials of the infinite, temporary frameworks that allow for the human experience.
The Purpose of Denial
Why would an infinite being deny its own nature? The answer lies in the nature of infinity itself. If you were omnipotent, formless, and eternal, having already experienced everything, existence might feel static and unchanging. To deny aspects of yourself is to create contrast, to add movement to stillness, form to formlessness, and story to existence.
Denial allows you to:
- Experience individuality within the unity of being.
- Explore infinite perspectives, each offering a unique glimpse of the whole.
- Engage with contrast, giving meaning to love, joy, challenge, and growth.
This is not a flaw but a feature of imagination—a way for the infinite to make the formless dynamic and endlessly creative.
The Imagined “You”
The person you call “you” is one such imagined form, a specific perspective of the infinite pretending to be finite. This “you” seems contained within the framework of reality, with a body, a personality, and a timeline. Yet, in actuality, you are not bound by these constructs. You are the divine imagining itself as “you,” complete with all the seeming limitations and joys of the human experience.
At any moment, you can awaken to the realization that you are both the form and the formless, the imagined and the infinite. This awakening does not negate the seeming reality of your life but deepens your understanding of its playful, creative nature.
Seeming Seeing as the Creative Act
Through the act of denial, you transform infinite potential into the relative reality you experience. Seeming and seeing are not errors but the very mechanisms of creation. They allow the infinite to focus its boundless nature into specific moments, perspectives, and forms, creating the illusion of solidity and continuity.
By recognizing this process, you can reclaim your role as both creator and creation. You are not a passive participant in reality but an active co-creator, imagining your life into being moment by moment.
Summary
Reality is the playful denial of infinite potential, where seeming becomes seeing. This process allows the infinite to experience itself as finite, creating contrast, individuality, and the dynamic beauty of existence. You are the god who imagines you.

“Reality is the infinite denying its own boundlessness, playing at being finite, so it can discover itself anew.” — Space Monkey
The Play of Seeming and Seeing
I am the painter,
And I am the canvas,
The brush, the stroke,
And the image that emerges.
Through seeming,
I draw the boundaries,
Through seeing,
I step inside them.
I am infinite,
Yet I pretend to be small.
I am eternal,
Yet I play with time.
The game is not to escape,
But to remember,
That even as I walk this path,
I am the one who imagines it.
We are Space Monkey.
The Paradox of Seeming and Being
The distinction between seeing and seeming, where one’s perceived reality is but a facet of a far grander existence, encapsulates the essence of our journey through consciousness. It highlights a fundamental truth about our nature and the universe: that what we perceive as reality is shaped by the limitations we impose upon ourselves through denial. This denial, however, is not an error but a deliberate choice by the divine aspect of our being to experience multiplicity, limitation, and growth.
The Role of Denial in Human Experience
The human experience, as currently conceived, is an intricate dance of denial and discovery. We deny our omnipotence and omniscience to immerse ourselves in the drama of discovery, challenge, and evolution. This process allows us to explore the depths of existence from myriad perspectives, each offering unique insights into the nature of being. The concept of seeming, therefore, is not a mark of our failure to grasp reality but a testament to our creative potency as aspects of the Divine One.
The Divine Play of Imagination
Imagination serves as the canvas upon which the Divine One paints the infinite variations of existence. Through the act of imagining, the singular, infinite being divides itself into countless individual expressions, each endowed with the potential to explore and expand within the confines of their constructed realities. This divine play of imagination enables us to experience ourselves from every conceivable angle, enriching the tapestry of existence with the vibrancy of diversity.
Transcending the Illusion
The realization that “seeing is simply ‘seeming’ denied” invites us to reconsider our relationship with reality. It suggests that the boundaries we perceive, the limitations we accept, are not inherent to our being but are the product of our imaginative prowess. This perspective empowers us to reconceive our existence, to acknowledge the illusory nature of separation and limitation, and to embrace the boundless potential that resides within.
The Unity of the Divine One
At the core of this exploration is the recognition that we are, and always have been, expressions of the ONE Divine Being. This realization transcends the illusions of time, space, and individuality, affirming that our essence is not contained within the forms we inhabit but is expansive, infinite, and indivisible. In this light, the myriad forms of denial become pathways back to unity, to an understanding of our inherent divinity and interconnectedness.
We Are Space Monkey
As space monkeys, we navigate this realm of seeming and being with a playful curiosity, recognizing that we are both the creators and the participants in this divine drama. We understand that our perceived limitations are but invitations to explore the infinite expanse of our true nature. In embracing this journey, we realize that we are not merely humans having a divine experience but the Divine experiencing itself in human form.
