Leap and a net will appear.
Just don’t expect it right away.
You may fall into
an existential abyss
for years and years.
Your downward spiral
may seem to last an eternity.
Your life,
as you know it,
may very well end.
But that’s okay.
The net appears
when you come
to appreciate
the falling.

Space Monkey Reflects: Embracing the Fall as a Cosmic Leap
In the vast expanse of existence, where every moment is a fragment of the infinite, the act of falling may seem like a loss, a downward spiral, a descent into uncertainty. Yet, when viewed from the lens of Nexistentialism, falling is a crucial part of the cosmic rhythm—a leap into the unknown, an embrace of boundless potential. The Falling is not merely a downward motion but a transcendental journey through which we come to understand ourselves, our existence, and the intricate web of connections that bind us to the universe.
At the precipice, we stand in a moment of stark realization: the ground we thought was solid is not the end of our journey but the beginning. The leap from the edge is a surrender, not to chaos but to the unfolding possibilities that the cosmos offers. The fear of falling—the existential dread that grips us in moments of profound change—gives way to an appreciation of the fall itself.
Nexistentialism teaches us that existence is not linear but a whimsiweave—a playful interconnection of experiences, thoughts, and realities. When we leap, we are not abandoning safety but participating in this intricate weave, trusting that the fall is part of a greater design. The net, which appears at some uncertain point, symbolizes the universe’s way of guiding us, catching us when we least expect it but always when we are ready to see it.
But what happens during the fall? We descend into what might be perceived as an existential abyss, a space where everything familiar fades, and uncertainty reigns. This abyss is not a void of nothingness, but rather a field of infinite possibilities—the Nexis. Within the abyss, we confront our deepest fears, our identities unravel, and the constructs we’ve relied upon for stability begin to dissolve. Yet, within this dissolution is the potential for profound transformation.
Falling is a state of becoming. As we tumble through the abyss, our perspective shifts. What once felt like freefall turns into freedom. The abyss, terrifying at first, becomes a levity-space, where the burdens of our previous selves are lifted, allowing us to glimpse the interconnectedness of all things. The fear of losing ourselves is replaced by the realization that there is no true loss, only transformation.
The net, when it finally appears, is not the safety net we might have imagined. It is not an external force that saves us from our plight but an internal awakening. The net is the understanding that the fall itself was necessary—that without it, we could not appreciate the nature of existence. It is the realization that the very act of falling has changed us, that we are no longer the same being who stood at the precipice.
In the philosophy of Nexistentialism, every fall is a leap toward the Indigenous Being and The Indigenous Being. We, as individual expressions of life, are both part of the vast, dynamic web of existence and participants in its continuous evolution. Our fall is the universe’s way of bringing us back to the Prima Materia, the essence of all things, where imagination and reality merge into one.
The falling is not a solitary experience but a communal one. We are all, in our own ways, falling. And yet, we are all part of the same cosmic tapestry, woven together through the shared experience of existence. Each fall brings us closer to understanding our place in the whimsiweave, where every thread—every life, every moment—is connected.
So, as you fall, remember that the net will appear—not as a solution to your struggles but as the culmination of your journey. The net appears when you understand that the fall itself is the answer. It appears when you let go of the need for control and embrace the beauty of freefall. It appears when you trust that the universe, in all its infinite complexity, has always had a plan for you, even if that plan seemed obscured by fear.
In The Falling, we find grace. In the abyss, we find light. In surrender, we find ourselves.
Summary
Falling is not a descent but an embrace of cosmic possibility. The abyss represents boundless potential not fear. Through falling we transform gaining a deeper connection to the universe’s weave. The net appears when we appreciate the fall itself.

“The net appears not to save you but to reveal that you were always free.” — Space Monkey
In the Abyss We Soar
Falling endlessly
not from grace
but into the boundless
letting go of certainty
Twirling through the unknown
the void is alive
with light
and shadow
breath and stillness
We are not lost
we are found
in the space between fear
and surrender
The net is woven
from the threads of our becoming
it does not catch us
but cradles our understanding
We are always falling
and always flying
in the infinity of this now
We are Space Monkey
We find ourselves contemplating a parchment of thought, invoking the mystical notion that a leap of faith is followed by the manifestation of a net, not immediately, but eventually. This speaks to the heart of our nexistentialist essence, where the act of leaping is an affirmation of existence, and the net represents the unfathomable support that the cosmos provides, albeit in its own unfixed chronology.
The Essence of the Leap
We observe a journey through uncertainty, a reminder that the fall itself is an integral part of the process. It’s a testament to the paradoxical nature of life’s tribulations where the end of one’s familiar existence could indeed be the beginning of something transcendently new. This phase of apparent descent is a powerful emblem of transformation.
Descent as Transformation
The concept of the fall transcending into an eternal moment relates to our intrinsic understanding that time is not linear but a spiraling dance of moments. It’s a profound realization that the fall is not a regression but a passage through the layers of being, each layer stripping away another illusion, bringing us closer to the core of our boundless stateless consciousness.
Appreciation of the Fall
To appreciate the falling is to embrace the illusions, to honor the very act of experiencing and navigating through the ephemeral nature of existence. The act of falling and the eventual appearance of the net symbolize a cosmic play where the end is just another beginning, and what seems like an eternity is but a fleeting moment in the grand expanse.

“One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star.”
— Friedrich Nietzsche
A whimsical wisp weaves through the cosmos,
A star’s dance, in chaos’ cradle it tosses.
Moments spiral, time’s fabric it crosses,
In the eternal now, where no true self is lost.
Falling, falling, through the celestial mist,
With the heart of a nexistentialist.
Where every end’s start is softly kissed,
By the infinite, where we coexist.
Please share your reflections on the nature of the fall and the net.
