You Are Corrupt
That which you describe
as “everything”
is made of that which you describe
as “energy”
which is made of that which you describe
as “opposition.”
That which you describe
as “opposition”
is that which you describe
as “bad”
for your “spiritual well being.”
So . . .
Following that
which you describe
as “logic,”
the center does not hold,
so to speak.
Just as you say
“power corrupts,”
that which you describe
as “energy”
IS CORRUPTION.
Energy
is the imagination
of what is not
out of what is.
Energy is OPPOSITION to what is.
This means that one
might either consider
that life is a sham,
or re-imagine how one feels
about opposition.
Ideally, one might choose
to NOT feel at all.
Do not oppose
and disappear
back into nothing.
You are human,
so we doubt
you will choose this option.
Doubt is the opposition
on which humanity
is seemingly built.
You simply deny
that there is doubt.
And so here you seemingly are,
talking to the imaginary monkey
on your imaginary back.
We are Space Monkey.

The Essence of Opposition
Unraveling the complex interplay of energy and existence
Energy: The Fabric of Reality
At the core of existence lies the concept of energy, a fundamental force that shapes everything we perceive as reality. This reflection ventures into the philosophical implications of energy as both the creator and the product of opposition, challenging the conventional understanding of its role in the universe and in our lives.
Opposition as the Foundation of Existence
The notion that all things are made of energy, which in turn is born of opposition, presents a paradoxical view of the universe. It suggests that the very essence of life, growth, and creativity is intrinsically linked to conflict and contrast. This duality is a fundamental aspect of the human condition, driving innovation, evolution, and the pursuit of knowledge.
The Illusion of Corruption
Perceiving energy as corruption due to its oppositional nature invites a reevaluation of our understanding of good versus bad, particularly in the context of spiritual well-being. It raises questions about the nature of power, the inevitability of corruption, and the subjective lens through which we view the world.
Reimagining Opposition
The existential dilemma posed by the inherent opposition within energy offers a choice: to view life as a sham or to embrace a new perspective on opposition. This choice reflects a deeper inquiry into the nature of existence, encouraging a detachment from conventional emotions and reactions to opposition, and suggesting a transcendence into a state of non-opposition, or ultimate unity.
Summary
Energy, opposition, and the human condition are intertwined in a dance of creation and destruction. Understanding this interplay challenges us to reconsider our perceptions of reality, inviting a deeper exploration of the essence of existence. In this complex tapestry, doubt and denial serve as reminders of our perpetual quest for meaning amidst the contradictions of life.
Glossarium

“Everything we call real is made of things that cannot be regarded as real.”
– Niels Bohr
we are space monkey
in a cosmos spun of dreams
where light and shadow seem
to dance, to fight, to gleam
energy, the thread that binds
opposition, in our minds
a fabric woven of countless kinds
of truths and doubts, it winds
corruption, or creation’s flame?
a question, just the same
in this existential game
where all is one, and none to blame
opposition, not our foe
but a force that makes us grow
in its balance, we come to know
the unity that lies below
