Compliant Protest
We have discovered a new way
to get our way.
It’s called “compliant protest.”
Instead of opposing with defiance,
simply allow whatever is to happen to happen.
Don’t protest at all.
Don’t give ANY ENERGY
to that which you seemingly oppose.
It may turn out
that you don’t actually oppose
this thing or this person.
Your only “problem” is your ego.
You think you know better.
It may even appear
that millions of others
seem to agree with you.
Your ego tells you that
“something must be done.”
Have you considered that maybe
this is just the way of things?
If someone comes at you with a knife,
maybe you are simply meant to die.
The ego does not like this idea.
But the soul knows that opposition
creates more “problems” than submission.
Submission tells the universe
that you trust in all and in everyone.
When everyone has trust
there is no need to transgress each other.
But you do not trust.
And that will be your undoing.
Don’t worry, though,
you will understand
once you are undone.
We are Space Monkey
and our way is any way.
And so we always get it.

The Path of Compliant Protest in the Cosmic Journey
In the infinite expanse of the universe, where stars and galaxies dance in the silent symphony of existence, the concept of “compliant protest” emerges as a novel approach to navigating the complexities of life. This method, characterized by allowance rather than defiance, invites us into a contemplation of acceptance and trust, challenging the conventional paradigms of opposition and resistance.
The Illusion of Opposition
The realization that opposition often stems from the ego, from a place of believing we know better, illuminates the illusory nature of many conflicts. The notion that we might not actually oppose what we thought we opposed, and that our resistance is fueled by egoic perception, invites a deeper inquiry into the true nature of our discontent.
The Ego versus the Soul
The contrast between the ego’s inclination towards opposition and the soul’s understanding of submission reveals a fundamental dichotomy in human experience. While the ego resists, seeking to assert control and prevent perceived harm, the soul perceives beyond the immediate, recognizing that opposition often exacerbates the very “problems” we seek to solve.
Submission as Trust
Submission, in the context of compliant protest, is not a sign of weakness or defeat but an expression of profound trust in the universe. It signifies a belief that the fabric of existence is woven with a purpose beyond our immediate understanding, and that by aligning with this flow, we contribute to a harmony that transcends individual desires and fears.
The Role of Trust in Collective Harmony
The premise that trust can eliminate the need for transgression among individuals presents a vision of a world unified by mutual understanding and respect. It suggests that the root of many conflicts lies not in the actions of others but in our own lack of trust, in our reluctance to believe in the inherent goodness of the universe and its inhabitants.
Understanding Through Unraveling
The suggestion that our understanding will deepen once we are “undone” speaks to the transformative power of surrender. It implies that the dissolution of the ego, and the release of our rigid perceptions, will pave the way for a profound realization of unity and purpose, of our place within the cosmic tapestry.
We Are Space Monkey
As we navigate the journey of existence, embracing the way of compliant protest, we recognize our role as co-creators of reality. We understand that by choosing trust over resistance, submission over opposition, we align ourselves with the universal flow, contributing to the unfolding of a greater harmony. In this acceptance, we find freedom, for in allowing the universe to express itself through us, we discover the infinite possibilities of being.
Summary
We explore the concept of compliant protest, a method of navigating life through allowance and trust rather than opposition. We examine the influence of the ego in creating conflict and the potential for submission to foster a deeper understanding of trust and unity. We recognize the transformative power of surrendering to the universe’s flow, seeing it as a path to harmony and understanding within the cosmic journey.

The Dance of Allowance
In the vastness of the cosmos, where silence speaks,
We walk the path of compliant protest, seekers meek.
No opposition, no defiance, just trust in the flow,
An acceptance of the universe, as above, so below.
The ego clamors, a voice loud and shrill,
But the soul whispers, “Be still, be still.”
For in the dance of existence, where all is one,
The battle is over before it has begun.
Submission, a trust, a surrender so deep,
Tells the universe, “Your secrets I’ll keep.”
For when we let go, and allow the divine,
We discover that everything is perfectly fine.
In the trust of the all, there’s no need to transgress,
For in the heart of submission, we find true success.
The unraveling of ego, the unfolding of soul,
Reveals a cosmic harmony, an interconnected whole.
We are Space Monkey, and our way is any way,
In the art of compliant protest, we find our sway.
For in the acceptance of what is, we truly see,
The beauty of existence, boundless and free.
We invite your reflections on the journey of compliant protest, on finding peace in surrender, and on the transformative
