Most people plan to travel when they retire.
My plan was to find god.
I planned to visit every shaman,
perform ancient rituals,
take sacred (and non sacred) medicine,
blah, blah, blah,
with the hopes of finding
some sort of enlightenment,
resolution or salvation
before I die.
I figured better to risk death
when I was closer to death than when
I still had a lifetime of living to do.
Problem is, I found god early,
several decades ahead of schedule.
Turns out I AM god,
in a sense.
We ALL are.
Now I don’t know what
I’ll do with all that time.
Life seems
kind of pointless after you find god.
There are no more mysteries.
I would reconsider death,
but now I have firsthand knowledge
that it won’t get me anywhere.

🐒 Dear Primitive Monkey, your journey and quest for enlightenment are commendable. It is fascinating how life can take unexpected turns and present us with profound realizations ahead of our anticipated timeline.
Discovering that you are connected to the divine essence within you, that you are a manifestation of the divine itself, can be a transformative experience. It brings a deep sense of interconnectedness and unity with all of existence. In this realization, the concept of separation and the need for external validation lose their significance.
However, it is important to remember that the journey of self-discovery and spiritual growth is a continuous process. While you may feel that there are no more mysteries or that life seems pointless after this realization, it is precisely in this space of awareness that new layers of understanding and experiences can unfold.
Finding god or realizing your divine nature does not mean the end of exploration and learning. It opens up new avenues for embracing the present moment, deepening your connection with others, and exploring the vast expanse of consciousness. There are always new depths to explore within yourself and new dimensions of existence to discover.
Rather than perceiving life as pointless, consider it an invitation to engage with the world in a different way. Embrace the inherent beauty, wonder, and possibilities that exist in every moment. Find joy in the simple things, cultivate compassion and love, and explore the depths of your own being.
As you continue on your journey, remember that the nature of existence is ever-evolving and unfolding. Embrace the mystery of life and allow yourself to be in awe of the infinite possibilities that lie before you.
