People often talk
about their energy
as though it is a finite source
that can be drained or stolen.
I often feel this way myself.
The suggestion that I
need to “protect my energy”
is the hypnotic spell
that makes me believe
that it is possible to drain me.
This is the impossible, made seemingly possible.
I watch others
having headaches,
feeling tired,
abandoning social media,
retreating into themselves,
and I think . . . really?
Don’t you remember
that you are infinite and invincible?
If you feel the need
to protect your energy
and/or ground yourself,
that is a sure sign that you
are not fully connected.
So connect yourself.
We are Space Monkey.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Belief in Draining Energy
Energy is often described as a finite resource, something we must guard and ration carefully. We talk of feeling “drained” or needing to “protect our energy,” creating the illusion that it can be taken, stolen, or diminished. Yet, beneath this belief lies a deeper truth: energy is not finite, and neither are we. To see ourselves as limited is to fall under a hypnotic spell—a spell we have the power to break.
When we remember our infinite nature, the need to “protect” or “ground” ourselves fades. The idea that energy can be drained becomes a construct, a reflection of disconnection rather than reality. The invitation is not to protect but to reconnect, to align with the infinite source that flows through and as us.
The Hypnotic Spell of Limitation
The belief in energy as a finite resource arises from the illusion of separation. When we perceive ourselves as isolated beings, cut off from the infinite, it becomes easy to feel that our vitality is something fragile and vulnerable. This perspective creates a self-fulfilling cycle: the more we believe in the need to protect our energy, the more we experience disconnection and depletion.
This belief is reinforced by societal narratives. From self-help advice to wellness practices, the message is clear: your energy is precious and under threat. While these intentions are often well-meaning, they inadvertently perpetuate the illusion of limitation.
The Truth of Infinite Energy
The truth is that energy, like existence itself, is infinite. It cannot be drained or stolen, for it is not something we “possess”—it is something we are. Energy flows through us and around us, an unending current that connects all things. To perceive it as finite is to forget our nature, to see ourselves as separate from the source.
When we feel drained or disconnected, it is not because energy has been taken from us. It is because we have constricted our flow, allowing the illusion of separation to cloud our awareness. The solution is not to protect but to reconnect, to remember that we are inseparable from the infinite.
The Sign of Disconnection
The feelings of depletion, exhaustion, or overwhelm are not signs of weakness or loss; they are reminders to realign. When we believe we need to protect our energy, we inadvertently validate the illusion of vulnerability. Instead, these moments invite us to pause and reconnect with the infinite source within and around us.
To “connect yourself” is not a task or ritual; it is a simple shift in awareness. It is the act of remembering that you are already connected, that the flow of energy is constant and unbroken. This shift transforms feelings of scarcity into a recognition of abundance.
Releasing the Illusion of Draining
Abandoning the belief in draining energy does not mean ignoring your boundaries or needs. It means understanding that your true power lies in your infinite nature, not in the external forces you may perceive as threats. When you recognize this, boundaries become expressions of alignment rather than defenses against depletion.
Reconnection is not about adding something to yourself but about peeling away the layers of belief that obscure your infinite essence. It is the realization that energy flows effortlessly when you stop resisting, when you let go of the need to protect and simply allow yourself to be.
Embracing Infinite Connection
To connect yourself is to embrace the truth of your invincibility. It is to remember that you are not a separate being guarding a limited resource but a dynamic expression of the infinite, flowing effortlessly through the cosmos. This shift from protection to connection transforms the way you experience energy, relationships, and life itself.
Summary
The belief in draining energy arises from the illusion of separation. By reconnecting with our infinite nature, we move beyond the need to protect and embrace the boundless flow of energy that is always available to us.

“Your energy is not something to protect but something to allow; it flows endlessly when you remember that you are infinite.” — Space Monkey
The Flow of Infinite Energy
I guard,
I protect,
I retreat.
But the flow does not stop.
It hums, quiet and constant,
waiting for me
to remember.
I am not drained.
I am not fragile.
These are spells
I cast upon myself,
illusions that cloud
the infinite truth.
To connect is to release,
to let the flow find me,
to see that I was never apart,
never finite,
never in danger.
I am the source,
the stream,
the boundless current.
And so are you.
We are Space Monkey.
In the intricate dance of human existence, the concept of energy often takes center stage, with discussions revolving around its perceived finiteness or the need to protect it. It’s a notion that resonates with many, including yourself, yet it also holds within it the seeds of a powerful realization.
The Perception of Finite Energy
The belief that our energy is finite, vulnerable to being drained or stolen, can indeed be a hypnotic spell that shapes our perception of reality. This suggestion, though it seems plausible, challenges the idea that we are infinite and invincible beings.
The Paradox of Belief in Draining Energy
Observing others who experience symptoms like headaches, fatigue, or social withdrawal due to perceived energy drainage, we may wonder, “Don’t you remember that you are infinite and invincible?” It’s a reminder that our true nature is boundless and resilient.
The Reminder of Infinite Potential
However, the realization that the need to protect one’s energy can be a sign of disconnection is profound. It suggests that our inner state is intimately linked to our perception of energy. When we feel the need to shield ourselves, it may be an indicator that we are not fully connected to our inner source.
The Connection to Inner Source
In this context, connecting oneself becomes an invitation to explore the depths of our being, to reestablish the bond with our inner source of energy. It’s a reminder that, as infinite and invincible beings, we possess the power to draw from an abundant wellspring within us.
The Abundant Well of Inner Energy
This perspective shifts the focus from protection to connection. It encourages us to explore practices that help us reestablish our connection to our inner source, allowing us to tap into the boundless reservoir of energy that lies within.
Shifting from Protection to Connection
We are Space Monkey.
“Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality.” – Lewis Carroll
In the realm where energy flows and dances free,
We often speak of its finite decree.
A hypnotic spell that lulls the mind,
To believe the impossible, in the illusion we find.
As we observe others, their weariness displayed,
We wonder, “Don’t you remember the power you’ve portrayed?”
Infinite and invincible, the truth concealed,
Within each heart, in every soul revealed.
Yet, the need to protect, a sign profound,
That connection within may not be found.
To ground ourselves, to feel complete,
We journey inward, our source to meet.
Shifting from protection, we embrace connection’s grace,
Tapping into the wellspring of boundless space.
In this exploration, in the depths we delve,
Rediscovering the energy within, we find ourselves.
We invite contemplation on this perspective. How do you view the concept of energy and its connection to your inner self? What practices help you reconnect with your inner source of boundless energy?
