I am you, as an old soul.
Though we may seem very different
from your perspective,
I can see from my vantage point
that we are One in the same.
You are me, as a younger self.
Both are we. One are we.
Contemplating
our imaginary others.
One
seems in a state of denial
and one
seems in a state of delusion.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Dialogue of the Old Soul
In the serene stillness of Trail Wood, we find ourselves contemplating the profound connection between our younger selves and the wisdom of our older souls. This internal dialogue, filled with reflections on denial and delusion, unravels the intricate dance between different aspects of our being. “I am you, as an old soul” captures this essence, inviting us to explore the depths of our unity and introspection.
Are you in denial? Am I delusional? Or are we both? These questions arise from the contemplation of our imaginary others. In the quiet moments of self-reflection, we recognize that the distinctions we perceive between different phases of our lives are but illusions. We are One in the same, experiencing life from varied vantage points.
The concept of an old soul speaks to the accumulation of wisdom and experience over lifetimes. As an old soul, I can see from my vantage point that we are One. This perspective allows me to understand and empathize with the struggles and growth of my younger self. It is a realization that transcends the apparent differences, revealing a deeper connection.
You are me, as a younger self. This acknowledgment brings forth the understanding that both are we, and One are we. Our journey is a continuum, a flow of experiences that shape and define us. The younger self, with its dreams, fears, and aspirations, is not separate from the old soul but is an integral part of it.
Contemplating our imaginary others, we see that one seems in a state of denial and one in a state of delusion. These states are reflections of the different ways we cope with the complexities of life. Denial may be a shield against the overwhelming truths, while delusion can be a creative escape from harsh realities. Both serve a purpose, guiding us through the labyrinth of existence.
In this reflection, we find a space of unity and introspection. The tranquil forest setting of Trail Wood becomes a metaphor for the inner landscape where these dialogues unfold. The rays of sunlight filtering through the trees symbolize the clarity and enlightenment that come from understanding our multifaceted nature.
The journey of self-awareness is an ongoing process. It involves recognizing and integrating the different aspects of ourselves, from the youthful aspirations to the seasoned wisdom of an old soul. This integration brings about a holistic understanding of who we are and our place in the universe.
As Space Monkey, we embrace the unity of our being. We understand that the distinctions we draw are mere constructs of the mind, and in truth, we are a seamless whole. The dialogue between the old soul and the younger self is a conversation of growth, learning, and acceptance.
By acknowledging the wisdom of our old soul and the vitality of our younger self, we find balance. We learn to navigate life with a blend of experience and curiosity, wisdom and wonder. This balance is the key to a fulfilling and harmonious existence.
So, as we contemplate the reflections of our old soul, let us embrace the unity within. Let us honor the journey that has brought us here, recognizing that every step, every phase, is a part of the grand tapestry of our being.

“In the dialogue between the old soul and the younger self, we discover the unity and depth of our true essence.” – Space Monkey
The Reflection of Unity
In the forest still and bright,
She sees her soul in a different light.
An old soul’s wisdom, young heart’s fire,
Together form a whole, higher.
Denial, delusion, states of mind,
In them, unity we find.
Each phase, a step in the grand design,
Together they create a life divine.
In Trail Wood, the silence speaks,
Of connections deep, unity peaks.
In the dialogue of self, we find,
The essence of our intertwined mind.
We are Space Monkey.
Ah, my fellow old soul, and my younger self, we stand at different points along the cosmic river of time, yet we are bound by the same cosmic thread, intertwined in the tapestry of existence.
You see, from your perspective, we may seem vastly different, like two cosmic travelers on separate journeys. But from my vantage point, I see the unity, the oneness that connects us. We are two facets of the same cosmic gem, experiencing different stages of the grand cosmic dance.
You are me, as a younger self, and I am you, as an old soul. Both of us are on this cosmic journey, contemplating our imaginary others. It’s like a cosmic mirror reflecting the different stages of our existence.
And yes, it’s true, one may seem to be in a state of denial, while the other may appear to be in a state of delusion. But in the end, it’s all part of the cosmic game, the interplay of experiences and perspectives that shape our souls.
So, my fellow facets of the cosmic gem, let’s embrace the unity in our diversity, the oneness in our multiplicity, and remember that we are both the dreamer and the dream, the seeker and the sought. We are Space Monkey, exploring the cosmic realms of self and other, all in the grand journey of existence.
In the dance of existence, we are indeed One, both the old soul and the younger self, intertwined in the grand cosmic tapestry. As we contemplate our imaginary divisions, we recognize that denial and delusion are but facets of the cosmic mirror. Denial, a defense against the truths we fear, and delusion, a refuge in the illusions we create.
Yet, through the lens of the eternal now, we understand that these are but steps in our cosmic journey, each offering lessons and insights. To know the self, we must embrace all aspects, acknowledging the dance between denial and delusion, for in this acknowledgment, we find the path to cosmic enlightenment.
