Opposition isn’t
actually opposition
but rather the partway point
on your path to the realization
of ALL possibility and perspective.
This is the potential
you seemingly occupy.
Turning slightly back,
it may seem as though
opposition exists.
Moving fully forward,
it becomes apparent
that opposition CAN exist,
but is completely unnecessary
because in the beginning and end,
all possibility is equal
and source holds no preference
for one potential or another.*
*Except when partway,
as source seems to be as this self.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Nature of Opposition as an Illusion
We often view opposition as a point of conflict, an obstacle in the flow of our intentions and desires. But from a Nexistentialist perspective, opposition is not so much a force to be fought, but rather a necessary waypoint along the journey toward the realization of ALL possibility and perspective. What appears as resistance, when viewed from a broader lens, reveals itself as an integral part of the Whimsiweave of existence.
Opposition, when encountered, feels like a barrier—something standing in the way of progress. We feel that push-back, that friction against what we wish to achieve. And yet, this friction is not arbitrary. In the flow of the Nexis, every moment, including those of resistance, serves a purpose. Rather than rejecting or fighting opposition, Nexistentialism invites us to see it for what it truly is: a reflection of our position along the path of becoming.
To oppose something is to momentarily perceive duality. It is to say, “This is different from that,” or, “This stands in the way of what I desire.” But as we move forward, we see the futility in opposition. Opposition only seems real when we look backward, trapped within the limitations of our current understanding. When we gaze forward into the infinity of possibilities, opposition becomes unnecessary—because all options, all possibilities, are equal. There is no hierarchy of outcomes within the Nexis.
The word O.P.P.O.S.E., in this context, could stand for Open Perspectives, Potentially Obstructed, Shifting Energy. What does this mean? It means that what we perceive as opposition is simply the shifting of energy, a temporary phase of obstruction that is meant to open our perspective. Opposition is not about denial but about recalibration.
What if, instead of seeing opposition as something that stops us, we saw it as something that redirects us? This shift in perception is key to understanding opposition from a Nexistentialist lens. When we encounter resistance, we are being invited to look at the bigger picture. The opposition may simply be energy that has not yet fully aligned with the direction we are moving.
This is why, at the midpoint of opposition, it may still feel real. We look back and see the shadows of what we thought was in our way. We experience that sensation of friction as we wrestle with the energy that seems contrary to our flow. But once we move past this partway point, it becomes apparent that the opposition was never as solid as we imagined. Instead, it was a tool—something that, once navigated, reveals the broader landscape of ALL possibility.
In essence, opposition is a transitional lens. It allows us to reexamine our intentions and our position relative to the whole. As we come to understand this, opposition ceases to be a problem and instead becomes part of the natural unfolding of reality. It becomes less about “I am stopped” and more about “I am redirected.”
And so, we find ourselves in the paradox that Nexistentialism often brings to light: that what we resist is often exactly what we need. The opposition we encounter in life, whether in relationships, careers, or personal growth, is not there to thwart us. It is a reminder that we are part of a larger tapestry, a Whimsiweave, where every thread has its place.
Moving forward, the goal is to recognize that opposition CAN exist, but also to understand that it does not need to define us. It is not the end point. In fact, it is hardly a point at all—just a phase, an experience, a reminder of the infinite paths before us. Source holds no preference for one potential over another because all are equally valid. However, as Indigenous Beings navigating the Nexis, we may feel the push and pull of these energies more acutely when we are at that midpoint—still partly tethered to the illusion of opposition.
As we grow into our awareness, we begin to move fully forward, past the shadows of resistance and into the light of possibility. The realization dawns: what we opposed was only a reflection of our own doubts, our own hesitations. As we step into the full realization of ALL possibility, opposition falls away, not because it is defeated, but because it is no longer needed.
This is the journey of the O.P.P.O.S.E.: the recognition that all opposition is merely a temporary holding pattern, a waypoint on the path to clarity. As we turn fully forward, we see the path ahead is open, clear, and full of potential.
Summary
Opposition is not conflict but a necessary waypoint on the path to realizing all possibilities. It is a transitional phase that helps shift our perspective. Once we move forward, opposition loses its power, revealing the infinite possibilities that await.

“Opposition is the shadow we cast when we forget the light of infinite possibility.” — Space Monkey
At the Threshold of Opposition
There is a moment
When resistance feels real
Solid
A wall
A barrier between you
And all that you are
But look closely
It is not a wall
But a shadow
A flicker
A temporary hesitation
In the infinite flow
Step forward
Into the light
Where all possibilities
Wait
Without preference
Without opposition
Only open doors
We are Space Monkey
In this contemplation, we explore the concept that opposition is not truly opposition but rather a transitional point on the path to realizing the full spectrum of possibility and perspective. It emphasizes the interconnected nature of all potentialities and suggests that opposition is not inherently necessary.
Opposition as a Transitional Point:
We begin by asserting that opposition, often perceived as a conflicting force, is actually a partway point on the journey to realizing the full range of possibilities and perspectives.
The Potential You Occupy:
We describe this potential as the one you seemingly occupy, highlighting the notion that it is just one facet of the grand tapestry of existence.
The Fluid Nature of Perception:
We note that by turning slightly back, it may appear as though opposition exists. This viewpoint underscores the fluidity of perception and understanding.
The Unnecessary Nature of Opposition:
We emphasize that, when moving fully forward, it becomes clear that opposition can exist but is entirely unnecessary. This perspective suggests that unity and interconnectedness outweigh the need for opposition.
Equality of All Possibilities:
We posit that, in the beginning and end, all possibilities are equal, and the source of existence holds no preference for one potential over another.
The Shifting Perspective of Source:
We conclude by acknowledging that, while source may seem to adopt a specific perspective partway through the journey, it ultimately encompasses all perspectives and potentials.
We are Space Monkey.

A Poetic Reflection on the Fluid Nature of Opposition:
In the tapestry of existence, opposition we behold,
A partway point on the journey, as stories are retold.
Fluid perceptions shift and sway, in unity we find,
Opposition fades to reveal, interconnected minds.
