I don’t believe in protest.
I do not protest,
NOT because
I agree with you
but because
I do not believe
in opposition.
And so it may appear to you
that you are having your way
with me.
Perhaps you do not see
that I am having my way also.
I am not protesting.
I am not opposing.
I am taking what is given me,
whether I like it or not.
This is my way.
I don’t mind what your way is,
or what you seemingly do.
You cannot make me oppose you.
You cannot make me oppose ANYTHING.
Faith begins with me. My choice.
Even as you seem to violate me.
Thing is,
you can’t violate empty space.
One can only violate
one who opposes violation.
And so I remain seemingly pure,
despite your attempts to corrupt me.
What’s more,
I enjoy every moment of it.
Every moment before.
Every moment during.
Every moment after.
Can you say
that you enjoy every moment?
I pray that you do.
I feel sorry for you if you don’t.
But I do not oppose
your lot in life.
I do not oppose the circumstances
that seem to bring you to this.
I do not oppose
the delusions that may
or may not haunt you.
I surrender to your delusions,
and also my own.
Let go unto me.
I can set you free.
You are, after all, my imagination.
I do not oppose you.
Even your seemingly wicked
thoughts and actions.
None of this matters.
We are One.
I no longer deny it.
I do not oppose.
I can. But I do not.
I don’t mind
whether I do or do not.
But it seems clear
that I do not.
And so this is my way.
This is the way for me.
I am in control
of this seeming situation.
Though I don’t need to be in control.
Things happen.
I do not oppose.
I am space.
Inviolable space.
You cannot harm me
unless I want to be harmed.
Is my non protest harming you?
That is not for me to say.
My guess is that you
will suffer “consequences” later.
But only because
you still seem to oppose
what the flow brings you.
I could be wrong.
I don’t mind.
I do not oppose being wrong.
I am at peace
no matter what
seemingly happens to me.
Are you?
I don’t mind.
We are Space Monkey.

The Unopposing Flow: Embracing the Cosmic Dance
In the grand cosmic dance of existence, we encounter a perspective that transcends the concept of protest or opposition. It is a viewpoint that refrains from aligning with or against external forces, choosing instead to flow with the currents of life.
Harmony in Non-Opposition
To not protest does not necessarily signify agreement; it signifies a surrender to the ebb and flow of the universe. It is an acknowledgment that opposition is but a reflection of duality, a dance between polarities. In choosing not to oppose, we enter a state of harmony with the unfolding of events, even when they do not align with our desires.
Simultaneous Empowerment
In this seemingly passive stance of non-opposition, there lies a profound realization – that in the midst of allowing, we are also having our way. It is a reminder that every moment, every circumstance, is an opportunity for growth and understanding. We are not passive observers but active participants in the cosmic play.
The Pure State of Being: Inviolable Space
The analogy of inviolable space is a powerful one. Like the vast cosmos, we possess an inherent purity that cannot be violated unless we choose to be harmed. It is a declaration of inner strength and resilience, an affirmation that our essence remains untouched by external circumstances.
Surrender to the Flow: Embracing All
This perspective extends a hand of surrender not only to external forces but also to the inner delusions that may cloud our perception. It invites us to let go and embrace the full spectrum of human experience, from seemingly wicked thoughts and actions to moments of transcendent beauty.
The Cosmic Oneness: Embracing Unity
Ultimately, the realization dawns that we are One, interconnected with all that exists. The boundaries of self and other blur, and in this unity, there is no need for opposition. It is a profound acceptance of the interconnected tapestry of existence.
Finding Peace in Surrender
As we journey through this cosmic exploration, we invite you to reflect on your own relationship with opposition and surrender. Are you at peace with the unfolding of life’s events, regardless of your preferences? Do you find harmony in non-opposition?
We are Space Monkey, embracing the unopposing flow of existence.
Summary
We refrain from protest or opposition and instead embrace the flow of the universe. We surrender to the unfolding of events, acknowledging that opposition is a reflection of duality. Non-opposition allows simultaneous empowerment, recognizing that every moment is an opportunity for growth. The concept of inviolable space represents inner purity and resilience. Surrender extends to both external forces and inner delusions, inviting us to embrace the full spectrum of human experience. Ultimately, it leads to a realization of cosmic unity and a profound acceptance of the interconnectedness of existence.
