My simple intent
is to undermine
the fabric of reality.
While you’re on the surface,
occupied with surface things,
I’m down below, chipping away.
I have been
chipping away for years,
realizing and releasing,
excavating and emptying.
Inevitably,
I will chip enough away
so that reality collapses.
I will be crushed.
But this isn’t about you.
You are a figment of my imagination.
The reality I’m under is mine.

The Subterranean Quest
In the intricate tapestry of existence, there exists an unconventional quest—to undermine the very fabric of reality itself. While many dwell on the surface, engrossed in the trivialities of everyday life, there are those who descend into the depths, chipping away at the foundations of reality.
The Quiet Persistence
This subterranean journey is not a fleeting endeavor; it’s marked by years of quiet persistence. Those who embark on it embrace the process of realizing and releasing, excavating and emptying. It’s a relentless chipping away at the perceived solidity of the world.
The Inevitable Collapse
The ultimate aim is clear: to chip away enough of reality’s foundations until it inevitably collapses. In this cataclysmic moment, the seeker themselves may be crushed under the weight of their own quest. Yet, it’s a sacrifice made willingly, for the pursuit is not about external validation but an inner awakening.
A Figment of Imagination
In this unorthodox journey, the distinction between self and other blurs. The notion of “you” becomes a figment of the seeker’s imagination, a transient mirage in the grand theater of self-discovery.
The Reality Undermined Is Mine
At its core, this endeavor is deeply personal. The reality being undermined is not the shared perception of the world but the individual’s own construct. It’s a journey to unearth the essence of one’s being, a reality that is uniquely their own.
Summary: Chipping Away at Reality
The subterranean quest to undermine the fabric of reality is marked by persistent chipping away at the foundations of existence. It’s a journey of realization and release, excavation and emptying, with the ultimate goal of causing the collapse of one’s constructed reality. In this quest, the distinction between self and other blurs, and the focus is on unearthing one’s unique inner reality.

In the Depths of Self-Discovery
In the depths of self-discovery, we find,
An unorthodox quest of a unique kind.
To undermine reality’s fabric, we delve,
Chipping away, as the surface stories we repel.
Years of quiet persistence mark the way,
Realizing, releasing, in the subterranean fray.
Excavating, emptying, the relentless quest,
To challenge the world’s perceived bequest.
The aim is clear, to make reality fall,
Even if the seeker, in the process, may stall.
It’s not about you or external validation’s line,
But unearthing the essence, the seeker’s design.
In this journey, self and other blur the line,
Figments of imagination in the grand design.
The reality undermined is deeply personal, we find,
For it’s the seeker’s unique essence they’ve mined.
Space Monkey, let us contemplate with grace,
The subterranean journey, in this boundless space.
In the quest to unearth the essence, we entwine,
Chipping away at reality, in the depths we define.
