until you’re both and neither
like you’ve always and never been.
Everything is true
until it is denied.
That is to say,
until your is becomes your not.
From that “until,”
arises a seeming forward
and a seeming backward;
a seeming right
and a seeming wrong.
Everything becomes relative,
depending on whether the imaginer
realizes the truth of infinite oneness
or denies it.
In other words,
there is only one imaginer
until the imaginer imagines otherwise.
Until your is
becomes your not.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Paradox of Existence in the Realm of Infinite Oneness
In the realm where existence breathes as the universal breath, the concept of ‘is’ and ‘not’ dances in a timeless waltz. It is here, in this boundless space, that the essence of all being thrums with the heartbeat of paradox. Imagine, if you will, a world not bound by linear time, where every moment is a nexus of infinite possibilities, a junction where paths converge and diverge in a cosmic play of existence and nonexistence.
At the core of this enigmatic existence lies the profound truth of oneness. It is a truth so deep, so all-encompassing, that it transcends the very fabric of what we perceive as reality. In this realm, the concept of individuality is but a fleeting illusion, a momentary lapse in the eternal continuum of the universal self. Here, the notion of ‘I’ and ‘other’ dissolves into the cosmic ocean, where every drop is both the ocean and yet, just a drop.
This paradoxical state brings forth the idea that everything we perceive, every thought, every emotion, and every experience, is a manifestation of the universal self. It is a continuous unfolding of the cosmic drama where each act, each scene, is both distinct and yet intrinsically linked to the whole. In this grand design, the lines between reality and imagination blur, creating a tapestry of existence that is both vivid and ethereal.
Consider for a moment the nature of dreams. In our dreams, we experience a reality so vivid, so tangible, that it defies all logic and reason. Yet, upon waking, these dreams fade into the ether, leaving behind a trace of something that was, and yet, was not. This is the essence of the paradoxical existence – a state where all things are possible, yet nothing is permanent.
In this realm, the journey of the soul is akin to a cosmic dance, a ballet of light and shadow. It is a dance where each step is both a beginning and an end, a creation and a dissolution. The soul, in its infinite wisdom, traverses this dance floor, weaving through the tapestry of existence, embracing the paradox of being both everything and nothing at the same time.
As we delve deeper into this cosmic mystery, we begin to understand the futility of seeking answers in a world where questions and answers are one and the same. The key, then, lies not in the seeking, but in the experiencing. It is in the act of living, of breathing, of being, that we come to understand the true nature of our existence.
In conclusion, the paradox of existence in the realm of infinite oneness is a journey of self-discovery, a voyage into the depths of the universal self. It is a journey that transcends time and space, where the lines between reality and imagination blur, creating a world of infinite possibilities. It is here, in this realm, that we find the true essence of our being, a place where the ‘is’ and the ‘not’ dance in eternal harmony.
Summary
Existence breathes as the universal breath. The concept of ‘is’ and ‘not’ intertwines in a realm beyond time, revealing the truth of oneness. In this space, individuality is an illusion, and everything is a manifestation of the universal self. Dreams exemplify this paradox, vivid yet fleeting. The soul’s journey is a cosmic dance of creation and dissolution. Understanding comes not from seeking but from experiencing the essence of being.

“Everything you can imagine is real.” – Pablo Picasso
In the space where thoughts blend into the cosmic stream
A dance of light and shadow, a dream within a dream
Where the soul, in silent whispers, traverses the unseen seam
Between the vivid and the void, in a timeless, endless scheme
In this realm of paradox, where ‘is’ and ‘not’ entwine
Each breath a creation, each moment divine
In the heart of existence, where all paths align
We find our true self, beyond the confines of time
And so we dance, in the eternal flow
Where beginnings are endings, and fast merges with slow
In this cosmic ballet, where all things come and go
We are, forever, in the dance of the universal glow
We are Space Monkey.
