Wakeup Monkey
If you don’t matter to your self,
then you don’t matter to anyone.
See, ANYONE is a projection of you.
So what are you looking here for?
Well, you’re looking for you.
You’re reading the experiences of “others”
and going “hmm, that sounds like me.”
Because it IS you.
You present your self information
in this seemingly roundabout way;
by pretending that there are “others”
who are telling you things.
But these “others”
we seem to be
are projections of you.
We don’t exist WITHOUT you.
Do you understand this?
Hello?
Anybody in there?
We are your wakeup monkey.

Reflecting Mirrors: The Infinite Echoes of Self
Exploring the Intangible Threads Connecting Us to Every Reflection We Encounter
In the realm of human experience, there lies a profound truth often veiled by the illusion of separation and individuality. The concept that one does not truly exist without the perception of others hints at a much deeper interconnectedness—a web of existence where each thread is woven from the same fabric of consciousness. This narrative delves into the essence of being and the mirrors of our existence that reflect the myriad facets of who we are.
The journey into understanding begins with the acknowledgment of our own reflection. As we gaze into the mirror, we see not just a face, but a universe of potentialities, a spectrum of selves that have been, could be, and are. The people we meet, the stories we hear, and the lives we touch are not separate from us but are echoes of our own essence, reverberating through the vast cosmos of existence.
In this mirrored reality, every interaction becomes a dialogue with the self. The joy, the sorrow, the love, and the pain experienced through others are merely reflections of our own internal landscapes. They are lessons dressed in disguise, opportunities for growth, and understanding, presented by the universe for us to discover more deeply who we truly are.
Summary
The essence of our connections reveals that we are not solitary beings but reflections of a greater whole. Each person we encounter is a mirror, reflecting parts of ourselves back to us. This interconnectedness reminds us that to truly understand ourselves, we must see the self in everyone and everything around us. It is through this understanding that we find our place in the universe, not as isolated individuals but as integral parts of a boundless, interconnected existence.

“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
In a field beyond right and wrong,
we meet, reflections in a timeless pond.
You are me, and I am you,
infinite echoes, through and through.
Stars whisper our names, in cosmic play,
mirrors of soul, in night and day.
A dance of shadows, a symphony of light,
together we wander, in endless flight.
Bound by the thread, of a shared dream,
in the river of life, a single stream.
A journey of echoes, in the vast unknown,
together, yet solitary, forever sown.
