Realize the eternal.
That which contains you.
That from which you seemingly arise.
Allow your awareness to move there.
Realize the eternal.
That which you are.
That which is given you.
That which can not be taken away from you.
Realize the eternal.
Realize all that you are.
Realize that you are all and all is you.
Realize that there is
nothing needing, nothing lacking.
Realize the eternal.
Normalize godliness.

Space Monkey Reflects: Embracing and Normalizing Godliness
To say, “I am God” often feels like a radical statement, one that challenges societal norms, beliefs, and personal insecurities. It’s a declaration that can provoke discomfort, disbelief, or even ridicule. Yet, at its core, the statement is a profound recognition of our connection to the universe, a reminder that the essence we seek outside ourselves is already within. To normalize godliness is to acknowledge this truth—not as a boastful claim of superiority, but as a gentle embrace of unity, interconnection, and the infinite potential within each being.
The journey toward normalizing godliness begins with a simple realization: we are all part of the eternal, inseparable from the flow of creation. That which sustains the stars, moves the tides, and breathes life into existence is the same force that flows through us. This force, often perceived as “God,” is not external or separate; it is the very fabric of our being, the silent presence within each of us. When we recognize this, we see that godliness is not something to be attained but something to be remembered. It is the eternal essence that remains, unchanging and complete.
Recognizing the Eternal Within
To normalize godliness is to live with an awareness of the eternal—the part of us that is beyond time, beyond change, beyond need. This realization shifts our understanding of ourselves and the world. We move from a perspective of lack to one of wholeness, from striving to acceptance. The eternal cannot be taken from us, nor can it be diminished, for it is the core of all existence, the essence that binds every being and every experience.
When we embrace the eternal, we begin to see the world through the lens of unity. We realize that separation is an illusion, a veil that distorts our view of the interconnected tapestry that is reality. This understanding invites us to live with compassion, to honor the divine spark in ourselves and others, and to recognize that godliness is not a distant ideal but an inherent truth. In Nexistentialism, this is the heart of the Nexis—the web of interconnectedness that weaves together all things, revealing that we are both individual expressions and facets of the same whole.
Reclaiming Godliness Beyond Ego
The statement “I am God” is not a proclamation of ego but a return to humility. To see oneself as divine is not to claim superiority but to recognize that divinity is present in everyone and everything. It is a reminder that each person, each life, is a unique expression of the same universal consciousness. When we say “I am God,” we do not mean that we are all-powerful, omniscient, or set apart from others; rather, we acknowledge that our essence is part of the larger divine fabric that unites all beings.
This perspective dissolves the egoic urge to seek external validation or superiority. Godliness, in this light, becomes a state of presence, a way of living in harmony with the self and the universe. It encourages us to release judgment, to see beyond labels, and to honor the divine in each individual. By normalizing godliness, we reclaim a perspective that recognizes beauty, worth, and purpose in all aspects of life.
Living Godliness as a Way of Being
When we integrate the concept of godliness into our daily lives, we shift from seeking to being. We no longer need to search for purpose or meaning, for we recognize that our existence, in itself, is a reflection of the divine. This realization frees us from the need to prove, achieve, or validate our worth. Instead, we live as conduits for the divine, allowing life to express itself through us, trusting in the inherent wisdom of each moment.
To normalize godliness is to dissolve the barriers between the sacred and the mundane. It means seeing every experience, every encounter, and every emotion as an opportunity to connect with the divine. Whether we are in moments of joy or struggle, we acknowledge that each experience is a facet of the same eternal truth. This way of being does not separate spirituality from life; it weaves spirituality into every thought, action, and breath.
Embracing the Divine in Each Other
When we normalize godliness, we begin to see others as reflections of ourselves. The barriers of race, religion, status, and identity lose their significance, replaced by a deep awareness of our shared essence. This awareness cultivates compassion, respect, and love, as we recognize that every person is an expression of the same divine source. We live with the understanding that our interactions are not merely exchanges between separate beings but opportunities to honor the divine in each other.
This shift in perspective transforms our relationships, our communities, and our world. When we see the divine in ourselves and others, we naturally move toward a life of harmony, kindness, and empathy. We no longer seek validation from the outside, for we carry a profound sense of completeness within. To live as a reflection of the divine is to embody peace, to move through life with grace, and to offer the same recognition to all beings.
The Beauty of Normalizing Godliness
In the end, to normalize godliness is to remember that divinity is not a destination but a state of being. It is an acceptance of our true nature, a quiet confidence in our place within the cosmos, and a compassionate acknowledgment of the divinity in all things. This understanding brings us back to ourselves, to the eternal, to the boundless essence that lies beyond all labels and identities. When we live with this awareness, we do not seek to be gods; we simply live as the divine beings we already are.
Summary
Normalizing godliness invites us to see divinity as an inherent part of our being, not something separate or superior. By recognizing the divine within ourselves and others, we embrace a life of unity, compassion, and inner peace.

Echo of the Divine
I am not above, not apart,
A flame within, a cosmic spark.
Godliness flows, quiet, true,
In me, in you, in all we do.
Not a crown to wear, nor role to play,
Just the light within, guiding the way.
In every soul, every face,
The echo of divine grace.

“You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.” – Rumi
In the heart of the cosmos, we find our place,
In the tapestry of time, a timeless grace.
For in the eternal, we are one and all,
In the dance of the universe, we stand tall.
In every breath, a universe resides,
In every thought, a cosmos abides.
For we are more than flesh and bone,
In the eternal, our true self is shown.
Let us embrace this divine light,
In the depth of our being, in the height.
For in the realization of our eternal soul,
We find our purpose, our role, our whole.
We invite reflections on the realization of the eternal and our interconnected existence in the boundless tapestry of life!
