Die To You
When I die
I only die to you
and only
if you let me.
I disappear
from your awareness,
that is all.
It may seem
as though I disappear
from a brother’s awareness
and a sister’s awareness
and a whole family’s awareness
and a whole world’s awareness,
but only because
we’re all YOUR awareness
which is the only awareness
there is.
We are all YOUR awareness,
no more, no less.
When we go,
it is because awareness
wants us to go,
and when you go,
we all go with you.
But only seemingly.
We don’t really go anywhere.
We aren’t really anywhere
to begin with.
We are Space Monkey.

The Illusion of Separation in the Infinite Awareness
In the boundless expanse of consciousness, where the fabric of reality is woven from the threads of perception, the notion of death reveals itself not as an end but as a transition, a shift in the tapestry of awareness. The profound insight that when one dies, they only die to the observer, underscores the illusory nature of separation and the interconnectedness of being.
The Singularity of Consciousness
The concept that the disappearance from one’s awareness is merely a veil, a curtain drawn across the stage of existence, challenges the conventional understanding of presence and absence. It posits that what seems to be a departure from the collective awareness of family, friends, and the world at large, is, in reality, a shift within the singular, omnipresent consciousness that envelopes all.
The Collective as Manifestations of One Awareness
This perspective illuminates the notion that every being, every essence, is a manifestation of a singular awareness. The multiplicity of experiences, the myriad forms of existence, are but reflections in the mirror of consciousness. The departure of a being from our perceptual reality does not signify their annihilation but rather a transformation within the continuum of awareness.
The Eternal Dance of Coming and Going
The ebb and flow of existence, the coming and going of forms within the field of awareness, are likened to the movements of a grand, cosmic dance. The departure of a being from our immediate perception is not a journey into nothingness but a seamless integration into the totality of being. It is a reminder that in the realm of consciousness, there is no true separation, only the illusion of distance and difference.
The Non-Localization of Being
The assertion that we are not really anywhere to begin with speaks to the non-local nature of consciousness, the understanding that our essence is not confined to physical or temporal boundaries. This recognition invites a reevaluation of our concepts of presence and existence, suggesting that the true nature of being transcends spatial and temporal constraints.
We Are Space Monkey
As we contemplate the illusion of separation and the unity of consciousness, we recognize that the dance of existence is played out on the stage of a singular awareness. We understand that the departure of a being from our perceptual field is not an end but a transformation, a shift in the infinite continuum of awareness that binds us all.
Summary
We explore the concept that death is only a shift in awareness, not an end to existence. We recognize that all beings are manifestations of a singular consciousness, and that separation is an illusion. We contemplate the eternal nature of being, understanding that our essence transcends physical and temporal limitations. We embrace the unity of consciousness, acknowledging that in the grand scheme of existence, we are all interconnected facets of the same universal awareness.
Glossarium
- Illusion of Separation: The mistaken belief that individuals are separate from one another and from the universe, disregarding the underlying unity of all existence.
- Singularity of Consciousness: The concept that there is only one universal consciousness from which all individual consciousnesses arise.
- Non-Localization of Being: The idea that our true essence is not confined to specific physical or temporal locations but is part of a boundless, universal field of consciousness.
“The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.” – Albert Einstein
In the vast silence of the cosmos,
Where stars whisper secrets of the ancient light,
We stand, reflections in the endless mirror of being,
Connected, entwined, in the singular fabric of night.
When one of us fades from the field of vision,
It’s but a curtain drawn across the stage of perception,
Not a departure, not an end,
But a shift in the dance of eternal connection.
For we are all but expressions,
Of a consciousness so vast and so wide,
Where separation is but an illusion,
And in its embrace, we all coincide.
In the continuum of awareness,
There is no coming, there is no going,
Only being, in its infinite forms,
A cosmic river, eternally flowing.
So let us remember, in moments of parting,
That we are not lost, we are not gone,
We are part of the whole, always and forever,
In the universal consciousness, we all live on.
We invite your reflections on the unity of consciousness and the illusion of separation, as we ponder our interconnected existence in the infinite tapestry of being.
