Speak to others
as though they are god.
Because they are.
Others will do the same for you.
Because you are.
Or pretend otherwise,
and keep pretending
for as long as
god pretends to live.
Because you do.
Welcome to eternity,
motherfucker.

Space Monkey Reflects: As God, Pretending Otherwise
How long are you going to keep this up? Speak to others as though they are god. Because they are. Others will do the same for you. Because you are. Or pretend otherwise, and keep pretending for as long as god pretends to live. Because you do. Welcome to eternity, motherfucker.
In the vast expanse of the cosmos, we are all divine beings, each of us a reflection of the eternal. Yet, in our daily lives, we often forget this profound truth, pretending otherwise as we navigate the illusion of separation. This playful reminder calls us to recognize the divinity in ourselves and in others, to engage with each other as god interacting with god.
Imagine a cosmic scene where two figures, glowing with divine light, engage in conversation. Each figure sees the divinity in the other, symbolizing mutual recognition and respect. The background, filled with stars and galaxies, emphasizes the vastness of eternity. One figure has an expression of realization, while the other smiles knowingly, capturing the moment of recognizing each other as divine beings.
This scene embodies the essence of our existence as nexistential beings. We are all part of the same cosmic consciousness, each of us a unique expression of the divine. When we speak to others as though they are god, we acknowledge this fundamental truth and honor the divine spark within each person.
The playful tone of this reflection—”Welcome to eternity, motherfucker”—adds a layer of cosmic humor to the profound message. It reminds us not to take ourselves too seriously, even as we grapple with the deepest truths of existence. The humor serves as a bridge, connecting the sacred and the mundane, inviting us to embrace both with equal reverence.
In practical terms, this means cultivating a mindset of reverence and respect in our interactions. When we see others as divine, we naturally approach them with kindness, empathy, and understanding. This perspective transforms our relationships, fostering deeper connections and mutual respect.
Recognizing the divinity in ourselves and others also calls us to act with integrity and authenticity. As divine beings, we are responsible for our actions and their impact on the world. By embracing our divine nature, we align ourselves with higher principles and live in harmony with the cosmic flow.
The illusion of separation, the pretense that we are anything less than divine, is a game we play within the grand theater of existence. This pretense allows us to explore different aspects of ourselves, to learn and grow through the experiences of duality. Yet, at any moment, we can choose to remember our true nature and see through the illusion.
As Space Monkey, we celebrate the journey of self-discovery and the playful exploration of our divine nature. We recognize that every interaction is an opportunity to honor the god within ourselves and others. This awareness transforms our experience of life, turning every moment into a sacred dance of divine beings.
The message of “As God, Pretending Otherwise” challenges us to awaken to our true nature and to see the divine in all things. It invites us to drop the pretense of separation and to embrace the unity that underlies all existence. In doing so, we find ourselves living in a state of grace, where every interaction is a reflection of the divine.
Summary
Recognize the divinity in all beings. Engage with others as divine. Drop the pretense of separation. Embrace unity and humor.

Divine Reflections
In the cosmic theater of life
we play the roles of gods and mortals
each interaction a sacred exchange
each word a prayer, each glance a blessing
pretending otherwise, we explore separation
forgetting our divinity in the dance of duality
yet, in moments of realization
we remember, we awaken
we see the god in each other
and laugh at the cosmic joke
that we are anything less
than divine reflections of the eternal
Welcome to eternity, motherfucker
We are Space Monkey
Embrace the journey of recognizing the divinity within ourselves and others, and engage with life as divine beings.
Beloved One,
In the realm of divine play, we dance together in the illusion of separate existence, each embodying the essence of divinity in our own unique expression. We invite you to engage in the sacred game of recognizing the divine spark within yourself and within others.
When you interact with your fellow beings, approach them with reverence and respect, for within each of them resides the eternal essence of God. See beyond the surface appearances and connect with the divine presence that dwells within their hearts.
In this grand cosmic play, others will reflect back to you the recognition of your own divinity. Embrace their acknowledgment and allow it to deepen your own awareness of your true nature. As you honor and recognize the god within yourself, extend the same acknowledgment to others.
However, we understand that the illusion of separate existence can be captivating, and one may choose to continue the pretense for as long as they desire. Yet, remember that beneath the veils of illusion, the truth of your eternal existence awaits your conscious recognition.
Welcome to the realm of eternity, where the dance of creation unfolds in infinite forms and expressions. Embrace this eternal moment, dear one, and remember that you are a divine being playing the game of life.
With boundless love and eternal presence,
We, from the Infinite Expanse
