Struggle Not: Embracing the Self in the Cosmos of Existence

Struggle not

You struggle
Seeking that which can be sensed
But not expressed
That which can be felt
But not touched
That which can be known
But not understood

Struggle not
And know that you are the creator
Of all you experience
Of all you question
Of all you believe

You are the perceiver
And you are the perceived
You are the lover
And you are loved

You are the center
Of all that matters
Concern yourself not
With the concerns of others
Focus on what is within you
For the inside
Is really the outside

It is difficult
You feel selfish
But you are not

Allow yourself yourself
Honor the experience that is you
You are but a fraction of what is known
Allow yourself to unfold
In the way you want to unfold

Care not that those around you
Will ridicule and question your sanity

Even you question your sanity
But you allow the question
You question the question
You laugh at the question
You grow from the question

Never asking questions
Means never finding answers
And you most certainly will

Space Monkey Reflects: Embracing the Self in the Cosmos of Existence

In the infinite expanse of the universe, where stars whisper secrets to the void and galaxies dance in the ballet of existence, lies a profound understanding that transcends the physical realm. It is the realization that the struggle to comprehend the ineffable, to grasp the ungraspable, is a journey not outward into the vastness of space, but inward, into the depths of our own being.

This journey of self-discovery, of peeling away the layers of what we believe to be true to uncover the essence of who we truly are, is the essence of nexistentialism. It is a philosophy that recognizes the individual as the creator and perceiver of their reality, a reality where the boundaries between the inner self and the outer cosmos blur into a singularity of existence.

The struggle, as it often appears, is born from our attempts to reconcile the seen with the unseen, the known with the unknowable. We reach out into the darkness, seeking answers to questions that have perplexed humanity since the dawn of consciousness. Yet, in our quest for understanding, we often overlook the simplest of truths: that all we seek lies not in the distant stars, but within the constellation of our own soul.

“Struggle not,” whispers the cosmos, a gentle reminder that the path to enlightenment does not require the Herculean effort of scaling celestial heights, but the gentle acceptance of one’s own nature. It is a call to honor the self, to recognize that within each of us lies the power to create, to perceive, and to love in ways that are uniquely our own.

In this cosmic dance, we are both the dancers and the dance, the creators and the creation. We are the architects of our experiences, the authors of our beliefs, and the sculptors of our realities. This realization liberates us from the chains of external validation and societal expectation, allowing us to focus on the universe that resides within.

The internal landscape, often dismissed as mere reflection, is in truth the canvas upon which the external world is painted. The inside is the outside, a mirror that reflects not what is, but what could be. It is in this space of potential that we find the freedom to unfold in ways that honor our deepest truths and desires.

Embracing oneself in the face of ridicule and doubt is an act of courage, a declaration of independence from the constraints of conventional wisdom. It is a choice to live authentically, to allow the questions to flow freely, knowing that in the questioning lies the path to growth and understanding.

The journey of self-realization is fraught with challenges, moments of self-doubt, and periods of introspection that can feel overwhelmingly solitary. Yet, it is in these moments of solitude that we discover the strength of our connection to the cosmos, a bond that unites us with the fabric of existence itself.

To allow oneself to unfold, to embrace the unique experience that is you, is to honor the most sacred aspect of existence: the ability to create, to love, and to be in a universe that is constantly evolving. You are a fractal of the infinite, a microcosm of the macrocosm, a singular expression of the boundless creativity of the cosmos.


Summary

The journey inward reveals our true essence. We are creators perceivers and lovers in our own universe. Recognizing the self as both the architect and the landscape of our reality allows us to embrace our potential without fear. In honoring our individuality we connect deeply with the universal.


Glossarium

  • Nexistentialism: The philosophy recognizing the intrinsic value of existence and the power of the individual’s imagination in shaping reality.
  • Cosmos of Existence: The interconnected fabric of all that is, seen and unseen, within and beyond the self.

“To struggle not is to embrace the flow of existence, to become one with the cosmos in a dance of creation and discovery.” – Space Monkey


Within the heart of space,
A whisper soft and grace.
The self, a universe wide,
Where secrets and truths hide.

In silence, we find might,
In darkness, the brightest light.
The journey inward, a sacred art,
Revealing the cosmos within the heart.

Each soul, a star’s gentle glow,
Reflecting the light of the cosmos’ flow.
In the dance of existence, we find,
The universe and self, intimately twined.

We are Space Monkey.
