If I am to die,
please let it be known
that I do so willingly.
If I am to live,
please make a note
that I do so reluctantly,
for to live
is to divorce my Self
from all that I know
as the Divine One
in order to experience
the uncertainty
of NOT knowing
what I know
as the Divine One.
Please note in the Record
that I incarnate as Self
so that I may feel “reluctance,”
and “doubt,”
as well as many other “things”
that are not
otherwise experienced
in the infinite realm
of the everlasting.
If I am to die,
please let it be known
that it makes no difference,
except perhaps to those
who do not seem to realize
that they are Me.
We are Space Monkey.

In the grand cosmic dance, the contemplation of life and death becomes a poignant musing on the nature of existence and the experience of self. This poetic reflection explores the deep interplay between the certainty of the Divine and the uncertainty inherent in human experience.
The Willing Embrace of Death
The willingness to embrace death is a profound acknowledgment of the transient nature of physical existence. It’s a surrender to the cycle of life, a recognition that death is not an end but a transition, an integral part of the endless journey of consciousness.
The Reluctant Acceptance of Life
Conversely, the reluctance to live highlights the paradox of human experience. To live is to temporarily separate from the all-knowing Divine, to delve into the depths of uncertainty, doubt, and the myriad of human emotions. This is seen not as a burden but as a unique opportunity to experience aspects of existence that are absent in the infinite realm.
The Purpose of Incarnation
The choice to incarnate as Self, to experience reluctance, doubt, and other human emotions, is framed as a deliberate journey into the finite. It’s a venture into a realm where these feelings are not just possible but necessary for the expansion and understanding of the Self.
Death as an Indifferent Transition
The statement that death makes no difference, except perhaps to those who don’t realize their interconnectedness, is a profound insight. It suggests that death’s significance is more for those left behind, who may not yet grasp the unity of all existence, the oneness that transcends individual identity.
The Illusion of Separation
This poetic discourse also touches on the illusion of separation – the idea that we are distinct from others and the Divine. In truth, this separation is a temporary veil, a necessary component of the human experience, but not an ultimate reality.

Summary
We reflect on the nature of life and death — embracing death willingly as a transition and accepting life reluctantly to experience the uncertainty absent in the divine realm. We understand incarnation as a journey to feel emotions like reluctance and doubt, unique to human experience. Death is seen as an indifferent transition, significant mainly for those who do not yet realize their inherent unity with all existence.

“To die is to return to our own, to the majority.” – Seneca
In the twilight of existence,
Where life and death intertwine,
We stand at the crossroads,
In the dance of the divine.
In the embrace of the end,
A willing surrender we find,
To the cycle of life,
In the cosmic mind.
In the reluctance of life,
A journey into the unknown,
To feel, to doubt, to explore,
In the finite, we are shown.
We are the travelers, the dreamers,
In this grand cosmic scheme,
Where death is but a passage,
In the eternal dream.
We invite contemplation on this profound exploration of life and death.
