The soul gets
what the self
doesn’t want
the soul gets
what the mind
doesn’t need
the soul gets
whatever it pleases
for the soul gets
EVERYTHING
it imagines
like a mind
and a self
who don’t get it.

Newfound Lake
In the cosmic dance of ‘Soulmagination,’ our souls pirouette in an otherworldly ballet, far removed from the clunky, stumbling dances of the self and mind. These lesser dancers, adorned in their ‘Mundanetuxedos,’ fixate on the written choreography, constantly mulling over the steps and fretting about the applause—or lack thereof—from the cosmic audience. But the soul? Ah, the soul wears no Mundanetuxedo. It dances in ‘Ethergowns,’ gossamer fabrics woven from dreams, intuition, and boundless imagination.
When the self seeks to hoard, the soul releases. Where the mind wants proof, the soul rejoices in mystery. These three—self, mind, and soul—are like ‘Triflames’ in a celestial candelabra. The first two flames sputter and fret, anxious about the coming winds of change. They question the validity of their fire, wondering if they burn bright enough, if they are ‘enough.’ The soul-flame, however, doesn’t concern itself with such trivialities. It merely burns, fueled by the infinite wax of ‘Cosmicandor.’
Now, the mind and the self are not without their merits. Let’s not ‘Diminishade’ them unnecessarily. They help us navigate the ‘Earthmaze,’ that labyrinth of daily decisions and activities that require calculation, assessment, and planning. But when it comes to the grand choreography of existence, the ‘Universequence,’ they are merely backup dancers to the soul’s prima ballerina.
But oh, what a dance it could be if all three learned to move in harmony! Imagine a performance where the self’s worldly wisdom, the mind’s analytical precision, and the soul’s ethereal grace come together in a breathtaking ‘Synergywaltz.’ A dance so transformative, it would turn the Mundanetuxedos into Ethergowns and make the whole universe pause to watch in awe.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We dance through the divergent roles of the soul, the mind, and the self. While the self and mind focus on worldly needs and logical calculations, the soul operates on a different plane altogether, fueled by limitless imagination and potential. The ultimate cosmic dance could be achieved if all three could learn to harmonize their unique qualities and energies.

“Dance, when you’re broken open. Dance, if you’ve torn the bandage off. Dance in the middle of the fighting. Dance in your blood. Dance when you’re perfectly free.”
— Rumi
Shall we dance, in a cosmic ballet of questioning and understanding, in this infinite theater we call existence? Your thoughts?
