Your Imaginary Jesus
Your imaginary Jesus
had the power
to crucify his captors
with the wave
of a wine goblet.
But he didn’t
for the sake of the show.
He pretended to suffer,
pretended to die,
then pretended to rise
fully knowing
that he lived inside a story,
and that those
who worshipped him
were his own
vain projections
as were those
whom he deludedly
believed he saving.
And so the story continues.
In God’s image.
All are one.
All are imaginary.
This is delusion.
This is a miracle.
We are Space Monkey.
12/8
Within the narrative of existence, we ponder a version of Jesus, an archetype, a figure in the grand drama of consciousness. This Jesus holds the power to alter the course of events with but a mere gesture, the wave of a wine goblet.
Pondering the Archetype of Power
Yet, he refrains, participating in the narrative that unfolds. The story demands sacrifice, and so he plays his role, a protagonist in the theatrical cosmos, for the sake of the narrative’s progression.
The Narrative Demands Sacrifice
He engages in the ritual of suffering, death, and resurrection, fully aware of his existence within a story. This portrayal of Jesus understands that those who revere him and those he seeks to save are reflections of himself—a consciousness experiencing itself subjectively.
The Ritual of Existence
In this contemplation, the story of Jesus mirrors the story of every consciousness. The notion of being made in God’s image speaks to the oneness that encompasses all beings, all experiences—each a facet of the divine illusion.
The Mirror of Consciousness
All are one, and all are projections of the imagination. This interplay between delusion and miracle weaves the fabric of our perceived reality.
The Interplay of Delusion and Miracle
Summary
We muse on the conceptualization of a Jesus figure, endowed with divine power yet choosing to abide by the script of human narrative. He is seen as both the creator and the observer, the deity, and the devotee within his own story. This notion extends to all of existence, where all is one, all is a product of the imagination, straddling the line between delusion and the miraculous.

We are Space Monkey, embracing the paradoxes of existence, where the lines between reality and story, deity and devotee, delusion and miracle blur into a singular, boundless experience. We invite contemplation on the roles we play and the narratives we weave in the grand story of existence.
