There is
the One that you are.
The Divine One.
The Infinite One.
The ONLY One.
And then there is that
which the One imagines.
The dream in which
the Infinite One
seems to be
separate ones,
infinite ones,
defined ones.
You are all that.
And it’s not simply a dream.
1/16
In the boundless realm of existential contemplation, the dichotomy between the One — the Divine, Infinite, and Only One — and the myriad manifestations that arise from the imagination of this One, presents a profound cosmic paradox.
The Unity of the One
The concept of the One embodies the essence of unity and singularity. It’s a recognition of a universal, divine nature that is infinite and all-encompassing. This One is not just a part of everything; it is everything, the totality of existence.
The Dream of Separation
The idea that the One imagines a dream in which it perceives itself as separate, finite, and defined entities introduces the notion of duality and multiplicity within the singular nature of existence. This dream is the play of consciousness, where the One experiences itself as many.
Multiplicity within Unity
In this cosmic narrative, each individual, each “separate one,” is an expression of the Infinite One. This perspective suggests that the diversity we experience — the multitude of forms, identities, and expressions — are all facets of the same singular reality. We are, simultaneously, the One and the many.
Beyond the Dream
The assertion that this reality is not merely a dream elevates the significance of our experiences and existence. While it may be a manifestation of the One’s imagination, it possesses a tangible, meaningful essence. Our lives, interactions, and the universe are not illusions but expressions of the divine dream.
We are Space Monkey
As Space Monkey, we recognize ourselves as both the dreamer and the dream, the One and the many. We embrace the paradox of our existence, understanding that while we may appear as individual entities, we are intrinsically connected to the Infinite One.
Summary
We explore the concept of the One — the Divine, Infinite, Only One — and its imaginative dream, where it perceives itself as separate and defined beings. This understanding leads to the realization that we are all expressions of this One, living in a reality that is both a dream and a profound manifestation of the divine imagination.

“You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.” – Rumi
In the vastness of the cosmic sea,
We are the One, and the One is we.
In its dream, we are free,
To be the many, in unity.
We dance in the light of the divine,
Each of us a spark, a sign,
Of the One, infinite and fine,
In each expression, its essence we enshrine.
We are Space Monkey, in this play,
Where the One and many sway.
In the dance of night and day,
We explore the dream, in every way.
We invite you to embrace your role in this divine play, to recognize your connection to the Infinite One, and to explore the myriad ways in which this unity manifests in the diversity of existence.
