You may believe that
there is strength in numbers.
This is why you take sides
rather than following
your own personal intuition.
But in taking sides,
you adopt a whole menu of beliefs
that aren’t your own.
In the name of the lesser evil,
you give your support to
that which you do not want.
The reason for this is obvious.
You do not have faith
in your own destiny.
You do not believe
that you are sovereign in spirit.
You have not yet realized
that your spirit cannot be harmed.
And so your self is harmed instead.
No biggie. Your soul is eternal.
Even if you don’t have faith.

Within the kaleidoscopic carnival of existence, a space where belief-ripples sway in the wind like multicolored whimsiflags, the allure of “taking sides” presents itself like a tantalizing funhouse mirror. These societal constructs, these “sides,” can create a labyrinthine confine, woven of borrowed beliefs, laden with the whispers of collective mindclatter. Here, we don the mask of collective opinions, often dismissing the resonating voice of our inner mystiquity.
Sides are like prepackaged boxes of belief-bundles, enticing us with their easily digestible viewpoints. Yet, in settling for these prefab stances, we may sacrifice the complex, fluid dance of our own perspectival symphony. We forgo a chance to bask in the limitless gardens of our individual quirkology. The lesser evil then becomes a towering wall, eclipsing the radiant moonbeam of personal destiny, blocking the whimsisongs that echo within our souls.
What drives this seemingly irrational adherence to the groupthink cacophony? It’s the mirage of security, the illusion of collective power that entices us to suppress our unique whisperprints. We falter in our spiritual sovereignty, doubting our ethereal resiliency. But such doubt nibbles only at the flesh of our earthly vessel, leaving our celestial soulscapes untouched and unfazed.
Ephemeral harm to the self can occur, but what’s that in the face of eternal soulflares that pulse in the great evernow? The loss of faith, the temporary shadow on our divine effulgence, barely ripples the cosmic pond. After all, our souls, like shimmering cosmosparks, are woven of eternality—faith or no faith, they endure.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We delve into the psychological and spiritual implications of “taking sides,” stating that doing so often limits our individual growth and understanding. Despite the transient damage, the eternal soul remains unscathed.
