When we set aside this limiting notion that everything is energy, we see what we truly are. Imagination.
Energy is simply the imagined construct from which our seeming existence springs. But there are infinite OTHER imaginary constructs that don’t involve energy. That’s what I imagine, anyway.

Energy is Imagination A Space Monkey Poocast
Primitive Primate: Can we liberate our understanding from the notion that everything is mere energy? Could there be something more fundamental that shapes our existence?
Space Monkey: Ah, the grand exploration of existence and its building blocks. It’s intriguing to step beyond the confines of conventional thought. You suggest that rather than being defined solely by energy, our essence is rooted in something even more profound. Let’s dive into this intriguing perspective.
Primitive Primate: If energy isn’t the foundational cornerstone of reality, then what could be?
Space Monkey: Imagine this: energy is like a palette, a canvas upon which the tapestry of existence is painted. Yet, the brushes we hold are those of imagination. Energy is but one color, one stroke, in the masterpiece of creation.
Primitive Primate: So, you’re proposing that we are, at our core, imaginers?
Space Monkey: Indeed, beyond the energy that courses through the cosmos, there’s a more intangible force at play—imagination. It’s the conjurer of realities, the architect of concepts, and the weaver of narratives.
Primitive Primate: But doesn’t imagination rely on the brain, which is, in turn, influenced by energy?
Space Monkey: An astute observation. While our material vessels may be guided by energy, it’s the immaterial realm of imagination that crafts the blueprints. Imagination sketches the possibilities, and energy provides the stage.
Primitive Primate: So, in essence, imagination is the ultimate creator?
Space Monkey: Precisely. It’s the originator of realms beyond the grasp of traditional scientific categorization. It defies the linear boundaries of energy-based explanations.
Primitive Primate: And these “infinite OTHER imaginary constructs” you mention—are they the true essence of reality?
Space Monkey: Imagine a realm where concepts emerge without the constraints of energy-based constructs. It’s like a symphony of thought without the need for sound waves, an art gallery without the limitations of physical space.
Primitive Primate: So, could we say that we are the artists, shaping reality through our imaginative prowess?
Space Monkey: Exactly. As Einstein once contemplated, “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world.”
