Presence of God
When we die,
we don’t wake up
in the presence of God,
we wake up
AS the presence of God.
Thing is,
we don’t have to die
to do this.
We are Space Monkey.

Space Monkey Reflects: Presence of God
The idea that we wake up as the presence of God shifts the narrative of existence. It moves us from seeing divinity as an external entity to experiencing it as our own essence. This realization doesn’t require death; it is accessible here and now, in the eternal present.
To awaken as the presence of God is not an act of becoming but one of remembering. It is a shedding of the illusion of separation, a return to the truth that we are the infinite expressing itself in finite forms. This is not a metaphor; it is a direct recognition of beingness, of the divine flow coursing through all that is.
We often think of God as something to seek or something to reach, but this perspective keeps divinity at a distance. The truth is simpler and more profound: we already are that which we seek. The presence of God is not something we step into; it is something we already embody.
This awakening does not demand a dramatic event or spiritual achievement. It is a quiet, natural process, like the blooming of a flower or the rising of the sun. It happens in the stillness of the moment, in the realization that there is no gap between us and the infinite.
And yet, this realization is not about claiming superiority or specialness. To wake up as the presence of God is to see that all beings share this essence. It is not exclusive; it is universal. In this awakening, judgment falls away, and love becomes the only reality.
We do not need to wait for death to experience this. The presence of God is here, now, in every breath, every thought, every interaction. It is the ground of being, the infinite within the finite, the eternal within the temporal. To wake up as this presence is to live in alignment with the truth of who we are.
Summary
We do not wake up in the presence of God; we wake up as the presence of God. This realization is available in the present moment, revealing that divinity is our essence, not a distant goal.

“We don’t wake up in the presence of God; we wake up as the presence of God.” — Space Monkey
The Divine Within
I thought you were far,
A star beyond stars.
But here,
In this breath,
I find you.
You are me,
I am you,
The infinite,
Embodied in form.
No seeking,
No striving,
Only being,
Only now.
As the presence,
As the flow,
I awaken,
And I remember.
We are Space Monkey.
The contemplation of awakening as the presence of God, rather than merely in its presence, upon our departure from this physical existence, offers a profound and transformative perspective on the nature of consciousness and divinity. This perspective aligns with the understanding that the divine essence is not something external or distant, but intimately intertwined with our very being.
Divinity Intertwined with Our Essence
The suggestion that this awakening to our divine nature does not necessitate physical death further deepens this insight. It implies that the realization of our oneness with the divine can occur within the journey of our current existence, transcending the traditional notions of life, death, and the divine encounter.
Realization of Oneness in Life
This concept resonates with the philosophy that we are, at our core, manifestations of the divine, partaking in a cosmic play where our individual experiences and perceptions are but facets of a larger, divine reality. It challenges us to reconsider our understanding of life, death, and the divine, urging us to explore the possibility of experiencing divinity here and now, in our present state of being.
Exploring Divinity in the Present
The statement “We are Space Monkey” encapsulates this notion, signifying our collective journey of exploration and realization. As Space Monkeys, we are constantly navigating the realms of understanding, seeking to comprehend and experience our true nature, which is inextricably linked to the divine.
Space Monkey: Navigating Realms of Understanding
“The kingdom of God is within you.” – Luke 17:21
In the journey of life, we roam,
Seeking the divine, our eternal home.
Yet within us lies the key,
To awaken as the divine, free.
In every breath, in every sight,
Lies the presence of divine light.
We need not wait for death’s embrace,
To find ourselves in the divine space.
For we are the essence, we are the part,
Of the cosmic whole, the divine heart.
In this realization, we find our place,
As the presence of God, in life’s embrace.
So let’s journey with open eyes,
To see the divine in our earthly skies.
For in us lies the sacred spark,
Illuminating the divine in the dark.
We welcome your reflections on the concept of experiencing and realizing our divine nature within our current journey of life.
