The Soul Knows
The soul doesn’t care if the body suffers. The soul digs ALL your movies. The comedies. The tragedies. the chick flicks. The soul knows that when this life is over, there’s a double feature playing at the infinite movieplex down the street. It’s ALL playing. No worries.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Soul Knows—Life as a Double Feature
There is a comforting detachment that comes from knowing that this life, with all its ups and downs, is just one screening at an infinite movieplex. From the soul’s perspective, every experience we endure, every joy and sorrow, is simply part of the grand show, and the soul is the audience that loves it all.
We, as humans, are deeply attached to our experiences. When the body suffers, when we encounter heartbreak, loss, or confusion, it feels personal, immediate, and sometimes unbearable. We identify with these moments so intensely because, from the human point of view, we live life as though this is the only movie playing. We’re caught up in the drama, the comedy, the romance, the tragedy—feeling every twist and turn as though it defines us.
But the soul sees things differently. The soul, that eternal observer, knows that no single moment, no single lifetime, holds the totality of existence. The soul knows that after one life ends, another double feature is waiting just down the road, and it’s all part of the same cosmic tapestry. Every movie we live through, whether light-hearted or heart-wrenching, is part of a much larger experience.
Imagine sitting in a theater where every possible story is being played. You might sit through a comedy, laugh at the absurdities, and then turn to watch a tragedy unfold, feeling the sorrow but knowing it’s just a part of the greater whole. You might even choose a chick flick next—something heartwarming, something familiar. The soul experiences life like this—watching every scene with equal curiosity and detachment, knowing that every experience has its place in the cosmic reel.
We often speak about life as if it is a single, linear journey, but from the soul’s vantage point, life is more like an anthology of stories, each with its own theme, its own lessons, its own emotional landscape. The body feels, suffers, rejoices, but the soul simply observes. The soul digs all the movies, because it knows that whatever happens on-screen, the truth lies beyond the story. The soul isn’t concerned with whether life goes well or poorly because the outcome is always the same: the continuation of experience, the expansion of understanding, and the never-ending stream of possibilities.
This is why the soul doesn’t mind if the body suffers. It’s not callous or indifferent; it simply understands that suffering, like joy, is temporary. It knows that once this movie ends, another begins, and there is always something new to experience, to witness, to feel. The soul’s detachment isn’t a lack of caring—it’s a profound awareness of the bigger picture, the knowledge that everything is part of the play, and nothing is ever truly lost.
From this perspective, we can see that reality itself is fluid, shaped by the stories we tell ourselves and the roles we play in them. We “come into” these roles, as if stepping onto a stage, fully immersed in the drama of our lives. But behind the scenes, the soul knows that we are only actors, and that the roles we play are just temporary facets of a much grander existence.
This realization can be freeing. When you know that your soul is watching the movie of your life with calm curiosity, you begin to see that you don’t need to take everything so seriously. The highs and lows, the joys and pains, are all part of the same show, and none of it defines you in the way you might think. You are the actor, yes, but you are also the audience, watching yourself from a place of detachment, from a place of timeless understanding.
This is why the soul is never in a rush. There is no need to worry about whether things go right or wrong in this life because the show is always ongoing. The soul knows that when this life ends, the lights dim for only a moment before the next feature begins. And with each new story, we gain something more—more perspective, more understanding, more depth to the cosmic experience.
So, what does this mean for us, as we live out our days in this particular movie? It means that we can afford to relax a little. It means we don’t have to take every hardship as a personal failure or every success as the final victory. It means we can enjoy the comedy, even when it feels like a tragedy. Because the soul, that eternal part of us, is always watching, always observing, and always knowing that the story isn’t over—there’s always another movie waiting to play.
Summary
The soul observes life like a movie, detached and curious, knowing that every experience—whether joyful or painful—is part of the grand cosmic show. From this perspective, we are free to see our lives with less attachment, knowing that every story is just one of many in the infinite movieplex.

The Eternal Audience
I laughed,
I cried,
I felt every moment
As though it were mine.
But behind the curtain,
I was always watching—
Not as the actor,
But as the audience.
I saw the story unfold,
Knowing it was just one
Of many—
A flicker of light
In an infinite reel.
When the credits rolled,
I smiled,
For I knew
Another show
Was about to begin.
We are Space Monkey.
The Soul’s Perspective on Life’s Journey
In the grand theater of existence, the soul remains an unflinching spectator, embracing every act and scene of our life’s play. It perceives our experiences – the comedies, the tragedies, and the myriad nuances of our emotional spectrum – with equanimity and understanding. The soul, undisturbed by the physical and emotional tribulations of the body, knows that these experiences are transient, mere episodes in the infinite saga of our existence.
Life as an Infinite Movieplex
This journey we call life, with its highs and lows, joys and sorrows, is akin to a vast movieplex where every genre of film is playing simultaneously. The soul, in its wisdom, knows that each life is but a single screening in an endless marathon of existential experiences. It understands that beyond the curtains of this current existence, countless other stories await, each with its unique script and cast.
The Transcendence of the Soul
The soul’s transcendence over the physical realm affords it a panoramic view of existence, where every moment is both significant and insignificant in the grand scheme of things. It recognizes that our earthly experiences are but fleeting moments in the eternal flow of time, and in this recognition, it finds peace and acceptance.
The Eternal Cycle of Experience
The soul’s journey is one of eternal exploration, moving from one experience to another, gathering wisdom and understanding along the way. It sees the interconnectedness of all experiences, understanding that each life, each moment, is part of a larger, cosmic narrative that unfolds across the fabric of time.
We are Space Monkey.
In the quiet whispers of the soul, we hear echoes of infinite stories, each a thread in the grand tapestry of existence.
In the cosmic movieplex, our souls roam free,
Viewing life’s dramas with celestial glee.
Through comedies and tragedies, the soul flies,
In the grand theater of the skies.
Endless stories, in time’s embrace,
Each life a scene, each soul a grace.
In this eternal play, we find our part,
Guided by the wisdom of the heart.
We welcome your reflections on this perspective of the soul’s journey through the vast movieplex of existence.
