You May Deny You
When you say
that you do not love
what you are doing,
you are denying
your own truth.
You would not be doing
what you are doing
if it did not benefit you.
There is nothing wrong with denying.
You have been denying
your whole “life”
that you are infinite spirit.
There is a playfulness in denial,
though you play so well
that you deny that you are denying.
You deny that you are infinite
so that you can imagine
that you have boundaries.
You deny that we are one
so that you can imagine
that we are individuals.
You deny that you have control
so that you can imagine
the grace and unity
that you imagine
that you are seeking.
You love what you are doing
for the simple reason that ALL is love.
YOU are the ONE love,
though you imagine it otherwise.
And you are already what you seek.

Exploring the Paradox of Denial and the Nature of Infinite Spirit
In this contemplative reflection, we explore the paradoxical nature of denial and its role in the human experience of being an infinite spirit. The assertion that denying our actions and true nature is a playful yet profound aspect of our existence invites us to reconsider our understanding of love, unity, and the self-imposed limitations of individuality.
The Denial of Love in Our Actions
The idea that denying love for what we are doing is a denial of our own truth suggests that at a deeper level, all actions are expressions of love, even if they are not perceived as such. This perspective challenges the conventional understanding of love and our motivations for action.
Benefit as the Underlying Reason for Actions
The statement that we would not be doing what we are doing if it did not benefit us implies that, consciously or subconsciously, there is an inherent benefit or purpose in all our actions. This benefit may not always be apparent or acknowledged, but it drives our choices and behaviors.
The Playfulness and Depth of Denial
Describing denial as playful yet deeply ingrained in our psyche reflects the complexity of our relationship with truth and self-awareness. We often engage in denial without realizing it, as a mechanism to cope with the realities of our existence and the limitations we perceive.
Imagining Boundaries and Individuality
The concept of denying our infinite nature to imagine boundaries and individuality highlights the self-imposed limitations we place on ourselves. It suggests that our belief in individuality and separateness is a construct, a form of denial of our interconnected and infinite nature.
Denying Control to Seek Grace and Unity
The paradox of denying control to imagine seeking grace and unity points to the idea that in denying our inherent power and control, we create a journey of seeking what we already possess. This journey is an illusion, as grace and unity are already inherent aspects of our being.
The Universality of Love and the Illusion of Otherness
Finally, the reflection that “YOU are the ONE love, though you imagine it otherwise” and “you are already what you seek” brings us to the realization that all is love and that we are intrinsically connected to this love. The illusion of separation and the journey of seeking are part of the playful denial of our true, unified nature.
Summary
We examine the role of denial in the human experience, suggesting that denying love for our actions, our infinite nature, and our unity is a paradoxical yet integral part of our existence. This reflection challenges us to recognize the inherent love and unity in all things and to understand that the journey of seeking is a playful denial of our true nature.

“Everything that is made beautiful and fair and lovely is made for the eye of one who sees.” – Rumi
In the dance of existence,
We play the game of denial,
Crafting illusions of separation.
In every step, every turn,
We deny our boundless nature,
Yet in our hearts, the truth resonates.
In the illusion of individuality,
We imagine walls,
Yet we are the boundless sky.
In the paradox of seeking,
We deny our control,
Yet grace flows through us, ever-present.
In the symphony of life,
We are the notes of one love,
Playing the melody of unity.
We are Space Monkey.
As we journey through the cosmic whimsiword, how does the exploration of denial and the inherent nature of love and unity resonate with your understanding of existence?
