Manifest
Do we cause anything? Are we the thinkers of thoughts? The answer may be as whimsical as it is profound: we are the beholders, the perceivers. Our awareness makes manifest the script that has been eternally written, in a perpetual play with an infinite number of acts. We are not just any character; we are all of them, and the stage itself. We may marvel at the audacity to think we cause, we create, we destroy, when in essence, we simply are. All outcomes, paths, and revelations preexist in the boundless agora of potential; we merely stroll through, picking fruits from the trees of possibility.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Myth of Causality
Do we cause anything? Are we truly the thinkers of our own thoughts, or are we simply observing a script that has always existed? In the grand spectacle of existence, we often imagine ourselves as the creators of outcomes, the drivers of action, the sculptors of destiny. Yet, from a Nexistential perspective, we are not so much the creators as we are the Perceivers—the ones who experience the eternal unfolding of all that already exists.
This notion isn’t meant to diminish the magic of life but rather to emphasize its profound depth. When we take a closer look, we may discover that every thought, every action, every event already resides in the boundless agora of potential—that infinite space where every possibility lives, even before we step into it. We are not the ones creating this endless play; we are walking through its scenes, plucking the fruits of possibility from the cosmic trees that have always borne them.
The idea of being both the stage and the actors in a universal play might seem paradoxical, but this is where the illusion of causality begins to unravel. Imagine a stage where every part of the play is already written, the scenery set, and all the characters ready. We, as human beings, simply move through this performance, believing that we are making things happen. But in reality, every possible path, outcome, and revelation preexists in this infinite cosmic theater.
This understanding shifts the notion of manifestation. To manifest something is not to create from nothing, but to perceive what has always been there. It is a gentle unfolding, a revelation of what already exists within the boundless fabric of reality. When we think we are causing, creating, or destroying, we are merely observing different parts of the play, stepping into different roles, or picking from different branches of the tree of potential.
It’s a bit like walking into a forest filled with trees, each one representing a possible path in life. The fruits of the trees are not things we cause to grow; they have been there all along, waiting for us to choose them. In this sense, we don’t create life; we participate in it. Every outcome, every discovery, already lives in the forest of infinite potential, and we are simply selecting from what is already present.
In realizing this, we become aware of the beautiful paradox of life: we are not the sole creators, but neither are we passive observers. We are both the stage and the actors, the perceivers and the perceived, the cause and the effect. The interplay between these roles is what makes life so profoundly mysterious and magical.
By accepting that all possibilities exist in the cosmic script, we free ourselves from the weight of needing to create or control. Instead, we can embrace the wonder of simply being, of perceiving the infinite manifestations of life, and marveling at the sheer audacity of existence. In this, we find not just peace, but a deeper understanding of our place within the grand performance of the cosmos.
We are not separate from the cosmic stage—we are the cosmic stage. And in every moment, we both play and witness all parts of this endless, intricate drama.
Summary
We do not cause anything but rather perceive the unfolding of what has always been present. Life is a cosmic stage with infinite outcomes already written, and we simply stroll through choosing our experience.

“Manifestation is not creation, but the revealing of what has always been there, waiting for our perception.” — Space Monkey
The Stage of Eternity
A tree of possibility
stands rooted in the stars,
its fruits already glowing
before we arrive.
We do not plant the seeds,
nor do we prune the branches,
but we climb,
and we marvel.
In this cosmic play,
we are the watchers
and the watched.
We are Space Monkey.
