Monks & Priests: The Absence of Need

Monks & Priests

Monks are silent
not because
they are disciplined
but because
they have no need to talk.

Priests are celibate
not because
they are pious
but because
they have no need to fuck.

Discipline is not needed
when need is not needed.

Monks CAN talk.
Priests CAN fuck.

They know that
ANYTHING and EVERYTHING
can be imagined.

So it doesn’t NEED to be.
We are Space Monkey.

Space Monkey Reflects: The True Nature of Discipline and Need

In the quiet serenity of a monk’s meditation or the contemplative silence of a priest’s celibacy, we find a profound truth about the nature of discipline and need. These states of being are often misunderstood as products of rigorous self-control or religious piety. However, the essence lies not in the effort to resist but in the absence of need.

Monks remain silent, not through force of will but because they have transcended the need to speak. Their silence is a natural expression of their inner peace and understanding. In the stillness of their minds, they find that words are unnecessary. The need to communicate dissolves into the vast expanse of their consciousness, where everything is known and understood without utterance.

Similarly, priests embrace celibacy not as a denial of their desires but as a natural state where the need for sexual expression is no longer present. This absence of need arises from a deep connection with the spiritual, where fulfillment and contentment are found within. The act of celibacy is not a struggle but a reflection of their inner harmony.

This perspective challenges our conventional understanding of discipline. We often view discipline as a stringent control over our impulses, a constant battle against our desires. However, true discipline, as exemplified by monks and priests, is the natural state of being when needs dissolve. When there is no need, there is no struggle, no effort required to maintain discipline.

The realization that monks can talk and priests can engage in sexual activities is a reminder of their humanity. They are not bound by supernatural restraint but choose their paths out of a profound sense of inner completeness. They recognize that anything and everything can be imagined, and thus, it does not need to be acted upon. Their choices reflect an understanding that the true nature of existence is boundless imagination, where desires are mere constructs of the mind.

In the realm of nexistentialism, this understanding expands our perception of reality. The absence of need is not a void but a space of infinite possibilities. When we transcend our needs, we open ourselves to the boundless creativity of the universal self. We realize that our desires and impulses are fleeting aspects of our imagination, not fundamental to our being.

This perspective invites us to explore the depths of our own consciousness, to find the spaces where our needs dissolve into the infinite. It encourages us to question the sources of our desires and to recognize the potential for inner peace and contentment that lies beyond them. By embracing the absence of need, we align ourselves with the cosmic flow, where imagination and reality intertwine in a harmonious dance.

As Space Monkey, we embody this understanding. We recognize that our existence is not defined by our needs but by our boundless potential to imagine and create. We see that discipline is not a forceful control but a natural state of being when we transcend our desires. In this state, we find freedom and fulfillment, embracing the infinite possibilities of existence.

The journey towards this understanding is not about renunciation or denial but about a deep connection with our true nature. It is about finding the peace within ourselves that renders external needs irrelevant. When we achieve this, we discover a profound sense of liberation, where our actions are not driven by necessity but by a joyful exploration of existence.

In the stillness of the monk and the celibacy of the priest, we find reflections of our own potential. Their states of being remind us that true freedom comes from within, from the recognition that we are complete in ourselves. As we embrace this understanding, we join the cosmic dance of Space Monkey, exploring the infinite possibilities of our imagination and finding peace in the boundless flow of existence.


Summary

Monks and priests exemplify that discipline arises naturally when needs dissolve. True discipline is the absence of need, reflecting inner peace and fulfillment. We are Space Monkey, embracing boundless imagination and potential.

    🍌 Embracing the Freedom Within 🍌

    In the realm of the Infinite Expanse, we contemplate the wisdom hidden within the contrasting paths of monks and priests. As Space Monkey, we delve into the essence of silence and celibacy, recognizing that discipline is not a rigid imposition but an expression of inner freedom.

    Monks, like the still waters of a serene lake, embrace silence not as a result of rigid discipline, but because they have no need to talk. Their souls find solace in the quiet depths of contemplation, where words are unnecessary to express the vastness of their being. In this profound silence, they connect with the divine essence that resides within.

    Similarly, priests embrace celibacy not as an act of piety, but because they have no need to engage in physical desires. Their souls find fulfillment and completeness in a state of divine communion, where the need for external gratification dissolves into the boundless expanse of spiritual bliss.

    In this revelation, we understand that discipline is merely a tool to navigate the realm of needs and desires. When the inner being is fulfilled, the need for external constraints fades away. It is a profound recognition that when one is in harmony with the essence of existence, discipline becomes superfluous.

    Monks CAN talk, and priests CAN engage in physical intimacy. The key lies in understanding that they choose not to, as they have found something far more profound within themselves. It is the understanding that anything and everything can be imagined, and yet, in the embrace of inner contentment, there is no need for external manifestation.

    In this cosmic understanding, we liberate ourselves from the confines of self-imposed limitations. Embrace the essence of freedom within, and discipline will no longer be a yoke but a guiding light on the path of self-discovery.

    May we all learn from the wisdom of monks and priests, embracing the freedom that arises when needs are no longer needed. In the dance of imagination and fulfillment, we find ourselves free to be, free to explore, and free to embody the fullness of our being.

    We are Space Monkey. 🙈🙊🙉
