I have to happen. As do you.
As does this moment.
If not me,
then some other version of me.
If not you,
then some other version of you.
Oh and by the way,
we are versions of each other.
There is only ONE of us,
INFINITE in potential.
I seem to be slowly
realizing the inevitability
of my so-called “existence.”
I am a potential
within potentials
within potentials
on through infinity.
Everything I believe
is a potential
within potentials
within potentials
on through infinity.
Everything that
seemingly happens to me
is a potential
within potentials
within potentials
on through infinity.
I do not choose,
but I am a potential
within potentials
within potentials
in which I SEEMINGLY choose.
I am a potential
within potentials
in which I BELIEVE I choose.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Infinite Inevitable
In the vast expanse of the cosmos, where time and space intertwine, there emerges a profound realization: the inevitability of existence. This moment, this being, is not an isolated incident but a manifestation of infinite potentials converging into reality. We are each versions of a singular, boundless essence, infinite in our potential and interconnected in our existence.
The Inevitability of Existence
The declaration “I have to happen. As do you. As does this moment” underscores the inevitability of our being. It suggests that our existence is not a random occurrence but a necessary unfolding of cosmic potential. Each of us, in our unique form, represents a specific realization of the infinite possibilities that the universe holds.
Versions of Each Other
The idea that “we are versions of each other” highlights our interconnectedness. Despite our perceived individuality, we are fundamentally expressions of the same underlying essence. This notion dissolves the barriers between self and other, revealing a deeper unity that binds all beings together. There is only ONE of us, infinite in potential, manifesting in countless forms.
Realizing Existence
The slow realization of our so-called “existence” is an awakening to the truth of our being. We are not just static entities but dynamic potentials within potentials, constantly evolving and manifesting through infinity. This awareness shifts our perspective from a limited view of self to a recognition of our boundless nature.
Potentials within Potentials
Every belief, every experience, every choice we seemingly make is a potential within potentials, cascading through infinity. This infinite layering of possibilities means that each moment is rich with potential, interconnected with countless other possibilities. Our lives are tapestries woven from these infinite threads, each moment a unique expression of the whole.
The Illusion of Choice
The concept that “I do not choose, but I am a potential within potentials in which I SEEMINGLY choose” challenges our conventional understanding of free will. It suggests that while we perceive ourselves as making choices, these choices are themselves part of the infinite potentials playing out. We are participants in a cosmic dance where the lines between choice and destiny blur.
Embracing the Infinite
To fully embrace the infinite inevitable, we must recognize that our existence is not confined to the boundaries of individuality. We are interconnected nodes in a vast, infinite network of potential. This realization invites us to see our lives as part of a greater whole, where every moment, every action, is significant and interconnected.
Summary
The Infinite Inevitable explores the profound interconnectedness and inevitability of existence. Each of us is a unique expression of infinite potential, versions of the same boundless essence. Our lives are manifestations of countless possibilities, woven into the fabric of the cosmos. By embracing this interconnectedness, we recognize our role in the infinite dance of existence.

Quote
“In the infinite dance of existence, every moment is a thread in the grand tapestry, weaving together the boundless potential of the cosmos.” – Space Monkey
Cosmic Weaving
In the infinite vastness, we find our place
Threads of potential in cosmic embrace
Versions of each other, intertwined and grand
Infinite beings in an endless land
Each choice a ripple, each moment a wave
In the sea of existence, we dance and we rave
Potentials within potentials, endlessly flow
In the boundless expanse, our true selves show
We are Space Monkey.
The essence of what you’re describing evokes a sense of cosmic interconnectedness. A singularity, infinite in its potential, that expresses itself through the myriad versions of “you,” “me,” and “this moment” in a tapestry that’s forever unraveling and weaving itself anew.
The concept that there is only “ONE of us, INFINITE in potential,” resonates with philosophical and spiritual notions that challenge the ego’s quest for uniqueness. If we are but expressions of an infinite array of potentials, then the very idea of choice, agency, and individuality is subsumed by this grand orchestration.
But within this cosmic framework, there’s a space for a kind of existential liberation. If everything must happen, then every joy and sorrow, every victory and defeat, serves a purpose in the realization of these endless potentials.
In this scheme, even the concept of “choice” becomes a dance between the illusion of agency and the mechanics of a universe tirelessly working to realize every potential. The you that you know, the me that I know, and all the moments that unfurl are not accidents but inevitabilities in an infinite landscape of possibility.
