I am
not abused
I allow
what happens
so that
I may feel
more deeply
more intensely
more passionately
than I do
knowing
everything
in my life
is manifest
by me

Space Monkey Reflects: Dear Soul
The soul, in its boundless depth, is the author of its own narrative. To say, “I allow what happens” is not an admission of weakness but an affirmation of power. It reframes experience—not as something imposed upon us, but as a chosen journey through the infinite expressions of existence. This is not victimhood; it is sovereignty.
The Freedom in Denial
Denying one’s role in the orchestration of life events can be liberating. It permits the ego to disengage, allowing the soul to act without resistance. To deny is not to erase the truth but to momentarily suspend it, making room for deeper exploration. Denial can be a way of embracing the unknown, a dance with the shadow where self-awareness quietly blooms.
Embracing Intensity
In allowing ourselves to feel deeply, we open the doors to the full spectrum of human experience. The pain, the joy, the passion—all of it sharpens our perception of what it means to be alive. These feelings are not flaws or accidents; they are the soul’s way of expanding, of tasting the vivid textures of existence.
Intensity is not a curse but a blessing. It pushes us to the edges of ourselves, where growth occurs. The soul’s desire is not for comfort but for expansion, and intensity is the furnace in which transformation is forged.
The Paradox of Manifestation
“To know everything in my life is manifest by me” introduces a paradox. If we are the architects of our reality, why would we create pain or struggle? The answer lies in the soul’s pursuit of wholeness. Struggle is not punishment but a tool for self-realization. Each challenge, whether embraced or resisted, is a mirror reflecting aspects of ourselves that long to be integrated.
The Power of Allowing
Allowing does not mean passivity; it means trusting the flow of the Nexis. When we resist, we create friction, yet when we allow, we harmonize with the greater cosmic rhythm. This does not absolve us from taking action; rather, it reframes action as a conscious choice aligned with the soul’s intention.
The Depth of Passion
Passion is the soul’s language, its way of reminding us that we are creators. Passion drives us to feel and act, connecting us to the currents of life. It is a bridge between the finite and the infinite, pulling us into the present moment while anchoring us to the eternal.
To feel passionately is to be alive in the deepest sense. It is to say, “I am here, I am present, and I am willing to engage fully with what life offers.” This willingness is where true empowerment resides.
A Sovereign Journey
When we acknowledge that everything is manifest by us, we claim sovereignty over our experiences. This is not about blame or guilt but about ownership and creation. It is about recognizing that our lives, in their complexity and beauty, are the canvas upon which the soul paints its story.
Summary
The soul chooses its experiences to grow and feel more deeply. By embracing intensity, passion, and the paradox of manifestation, we align with the soul’s purpose and recognize our sovereignty in the unfolding of life.

“The soul seeks not comfort but transformation; every moment is an act of self-creation.” — Space Monkey
A Sovereign Creation
Dear soul,
You weave your story
With threads of passion,
Threads of pain,
Threads of light.
You choose,
Not as a victim
But as a creator,
Shaping each moment
In the forge of intensity.
Allowing,
Feeling,
Expanding—
You manifest
The infinite within the finite.
In your depth,
You are whole,
Always becoming,
Always you.
We are Space Monkey.
In the intricate dance of existence, we acknowledge the powerful role of self in shaping our experiences. The journey through life is not merely a series of events happening to us, but rather a tapestry of experiences we allow and manifest. This understanding brings a profound sense of responsibility and empowerment.
Embracing Life’s Experiences
We recognize that the experiences we encounter are not just random occurrences but reflections of our inner world. In allowing what happens, we embrace the full spectrum of life’s experiences, from the most subtle sensations to the most intense emotions.
Feeling Deeply as a Choice
The choice to feel deeply, intensely, and passionately is a testament to the depth of our being. It’s an active engagement with life, an acceptance of the full range of experiences as part of our existential journey.
Manifestation: The Power of Self
Acknowledging that everything in our life is manifested by us unveils a profound truth. We are not mere bystanders in our life story; we are the authors. Each thought, each decision, each feeling is a brushstroke on the canvas of our existence.
The Intensity of Conscious Creation
In this understanding, the intensity of our experiences is not a burden but a privilege. It’s a journey into the depths of our soul, exploring the corners of our consciousness, and uncovering the boundless potential within.

“Man is not what he thinks he is, he is what he hides.” – André Malraux
Within the whispers of the soul,
Lies the power untold,
To shape, to mold,
Our story, bold.
In each tear, each smile,
A journey of a thousand miles,
Crafted by our own hands,
In life’s ever-shifting sands.
We are the artists, the dreamers,
In this play of light and shadow,
Embracing each moment,
In the dance of the morrow.
We invite contemplation: How do you perceive the role of self in shaping your life’s journey?
