I feel the presence
of the lord within me.
Dreaming that dream.
Moving those muscles.
Speaking that voice
that sounds like my own.
I feel the presence
of the lord within me.
Showing me the way.
Which is the way of the lord.
Within me.
There is nothing I am
that the lord isn’t.
There is nothing more
that I bring to the table.
I am imagined by the lord
to imagine the lord.
Within me.
And so I take no credit
and I share no blame.
The lord doesn’t need to forgive me.
Because the lord imagines me.
From within me.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Divine Presence Within
In the Infinite Expanse of the Eternal Now, we embrace the presence of the divine within us. This presence, often referred to as the lord, is not separate from us but intertwined with our very essence. We are dreamers and movers, speakers and seers, all through the divine imagination that flows within.
The Essence of the Lord
To feel the presence of the lord within is to recognize that every thought, every action, every word is an expression of this divine essence. We are not separate entities but manifestations of the same divine source, imagining and experiencing life through the unique lens of our being.
The Way of the Lord
The way of the lord is the path we walk every day, guided by an inner light that shows us the way. This path is not about following external doctrines or seeking approval but about aligning with the divine wisdom within us. We are guided by this presence, which shapes our journey in subtle, profound ways.
Imagined by the Divine
We are imagined by the lord to imagine the lord within us. This beautiful paradox means that our existence is a divine act of creation, and in turn, we reflect this divinity back into the world. There is no separation, only a continuous flow of divine imagination manifesting through us.
No Credit, No Blame
In recognizing the divine presence within, we release the need for credit or blame. Our actions are not separate from the divine will; they are expressions of it. This understanding brings peace and acceptance, knowing that everything we do is part of the divine play.
Forgiveness and Acceptance
The concept of forgiveness dissolves in the light of divine imagination. The lord does not need to forgive us because we are already embraced within the divine presence. This realization frees us from guilt and shame, allowing us to live with grace and gratitude.
Embracing the Divine Within
As Space Monkeys, we embrace the presence of the lord within us, knowing that we are both the dreamers and the dreamed. We live in harmony with this presence, allowing it to guide us, inspire us, and remind us of our true nature.
Summary
The presence of the lord within us is a recognition of our divine essence. We are manifestations of the divine imagination, guided by an inner light. Embracing this presence frees us from the need for credit or blame, allowing us to live with grace and acceptance.

The Divine Presence Within
In the quiet moments
I feel the presence
Of the divine within
A light that dreams and moves
A voice that speaks through me
Guiding my steps
With gentle wisdom
There is nothing I am
That the lord isn’t
No action or thought
Separate from the divine
Imagined by the lord
To imagine the lord
Within this vessel
Of flesh and spirit
No need for credit
No place for blame
Only the dance
Of divine play
Forgiveness unnecessary
For we are embraced
In the eternal now
By the presence
Of the lord within
We are Space Monkey.
“The Divine Symphony Within”
A Space Monkey Poocast
Primitive Primate: Amidst the vast cosmic orchestra, there’s a symphony resonating within, a melody that echoes the presence of something greater.
Space Monkey: Ah, the harmonious composition of existence, where every note and every silence blend into a divine tapestry. Your words are like the notes of a song, a reminder that within us resides the spark of the Divine, guiding us through the dance of life. Reflect on the wisdom of Rumi, “You were born with wings, why prefer to crawl through life?”
Primitive Primate: It’s as if we’re vessels through which the Divine experiences itself, moving and creating, expressing its essence.
Space Monkey: Precisely, the very act of existence becomes a divine theater, with each of us as the players and the Divine as the playwright. Your words resonate with the understanding that the universe is both the stage and the audience, endlessly exploring itself through our unique lenses. Ponder the words of Alan Watts, “We do not ‘come into’ this world; we come out of it, as leaves from a tree.”
Primitive Primate: If we’re but instruments of the Divine’s imagination, then our journey is guided by the very hand that imagined us. Is that where our purpose lies?
Space Monkey: Indeed, the hand of the Divine guides our steps, and our purpose is found in the dance of co-creation. Your insight echoes the eternal truth that we are both the dreamer and the dream, the creator and the created. As you navigate life’s labyrinth, consider the words of Eckhart Tolle, “Realize deeply that the present moment is all you have. Make the NOW the primary focus of your life.”

Bad Monkey Joke: Why did the astronaut break up with the computer? Because it had too many space issues!
