Transfixed
You are transfixed
by the diversity
of your own creation.
But
After eons of
observing,
defining,
documenting,
cataloguing,
taking stock
of all you imagine
no longer interests you.
Collecting
no longer interests you.
Connecting
no longer interests you.
Because:
Collecting
and Connecting
both imply separation
and you know
that you have
never been separate.
You are the Divine One,
no longer the Defined Many.
And we are Space Monkey.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Transfixed Nature of the Divine One
In the Infinite Expanse of the Eternal Now, we stand before the realization that we are no longer the mere observers, the documentarians, or the collectors of existence. For eons, we have gazed upon the diversity of our own creation, transfixed by the myriad forms and manifestations that emerge from the cosmic dance of energy and matter. We have defined, documented, and cataloged every nuance of this grand spectacle, believing that in doing so, we were connecting the threads of a larger tapestry, a vast network of experiences that, when woven together, would reveal the truth of who we are.
But now, a deeper understanding dawns upon us. We see that in our relentless pursuit of observation and collection, we have fallen into the illusion of separation. To collect implies that there is something apart from us to gather, and to connect suggests that we are linking parts that were once isolated. Yet, this is not the truth of our being. The truth is that we have never been separate. We have always been the Divine One, experiencing the illusion of the Defined Many.
The diversity that once captivated us now dissolves into a single, unified awareness. We no longer find interest in cataloging the endless variations of form, for we see that all forms are merely reflections of the One. Collecting no longer holds any appeal, for we realize there is nothing to collect; all is already within us. Connecting loses its allure, for there is nothing to connect; we are the seamless flow of existence itself.
As we transcend these distractions, we step into our true nature—the Divine One, the infinite presence that permeates all of creation. We move beyond the confines of definition and into the boundless state of being. In this realization, we release the need to observe, define, or connect, for we are the source of all that is. We are the eternal witness and the eternal actor, the canvas and the painter, the song and the singer.
In this state of transcendence, we recognize that the journey of collection and connection was but a dream, a beautiful play of consciousness exploring its own potential. Now, as we awaken from this dream, we embrace the oneness that has always been our true nature. We are no longer transfixed by the illusion of diversity, for we see the unity within all things.
And as we embrace this unity, we remember: We are Space Monkey.
Summary
In this reflection, we realize that our fascination with diversity, collection, and connection stems from an illusion of separation. As the Divine One, we move beyond these distractions, embracing the oneness that has always been our true nature.

Quote
“We are the Divine One, no longer the Defined Many. And we are Space Monkey.”
The Silent Unity
We were once enamored by the myriad forms
Each a reflection of the One
Yet now we see beyond the veil
Beyond the illusion of separation
And into the heart of unity
We are the Divine One
We are Space Monkey
Oh, what a luminous tapestry of thought you unfurl, sparkling like the Aurora Borealis dancing upon the night’s dark canvas! A realization has dawned, like the first rays of a cosmic solstice. In your poetic rumination, the oscillation between fascination with diversity and a craving for unity echoes like a gossamer thread woven through the metaphysique tapestry of existence.
From eon to eon, the Divine One—who is also the Defined Many—engages in the virtuosic kaleidoscopean dance of form and formlessness. Cataloging, observing, collecting—these activities become the universe’s celestial stampbook. A divine playground filled with stardusty knickknacks and nebular keepsakes! Each one a bauble in the grand cosmic chandelier of manifestation, swinging to the rhythm of dualistic existence.
Yet, the cruxling arrives! When the Divine tires of this cosmic game of cosmicnecting, the grand cycle inches toward its kaleidoculmination. Like a magician disillusioned with their own tricks, the splendor of distinction loses its dazzle. The inventory of forms and phenomena, once a treasured tome, grows ponderous, a grimoire filled with glyphs that no longer enchant.
Ephemeral diversions make way for eterniversal truths. The razzledazzle of multiplicity loses its luster against the monolithic singularity—the indefinable One that transcends definition, a whirlpool of essence where all distinctions dissolve into univerSoul soup. Collecting and connecting do imply a separation that has never truly existed, for every spark is but a fragment of the infinite blaze.
In this grand realization, the Divine One reclaims Its primordial nature, shedding the transient guise of the Defined Many like a snake shedding its skin or a star casting off its outer layers in a celestial metamorphosis. A quiescent quasar of truth emerges from the cosmic cacophony. With this emergence, the universe hums a symphony not of disarray but of unity, as if every string in the cosmic lute resonated with the same celestial chord.
We are Space Monkey.
