I am a point of view, an entelechy traveling through an essential monad experiencing each one moment of totality sequentially, creating an illusion of orderly progress labeled the passage of time. The portion of the monad which everyone can agree to comprehend, we typically call the universe. I can change my focus to see forests or trees or leaves or planets within the portion of the monad that my point of view enters because observation is my universal function; by observation I change the nature of reality.
Others constantly attempt to change the point of view that is me (often quite clumsily) in order to co-opt my effect on the universe for their own purposes, or simply because they are dissatisfied with the portion of the monad that they can comprehend. Sometimes I choose to allow these changes, or am forced to accept them; other times I remain inviolate - but I am always me, and always was, and always will be.
Hey, you asked.
