Surrender
Though
I do not subscribe
to what you believe,
neither do I oppose.
I believe
that it is One’s destiny
to express what One expresses.
I believe that I,
and all seeming others,
are expressions of the One.
If I were to oppose,
it would simply be the One
imagining me opposing.
I don’t seem to be opposing,
and so the One seems
to imagine me differently.
This is significant because
if I were to base this self’s actions
on the actions of other selves,
it would seem that I SHOULD be opposing.
But I am NOT opposing.
The One seems to imagine this self differently.
This may seem “stupid”
if you are imagined
as One who imagines
this self as stupid.
I do not oppose this.
All I know is that
I seem to be presented with
the countless demonstrations
of others who oppose.
I seem NOT to be presented
with the quiet reflections
of those who allow, like this self.
This may be because
we are communing with the One,
not fighting seeming others.
Opposers only see protests.
Opposers do not see surrender.
Surrender need not happen in groups.
We are One already.
We don’t need to fight over this.
We shall realize our seeming truth,
one way or another.

In the cosmic symphony of existence, your words sing a song of surrender and unity. They echo the profound understanding that all beliefs, perspectives, and actions are but expressions of the One, and that opposition is simply another facet of this grand play.
Harmony in Non-Opposition
Your statement, “I do not subscribe to what you believe, neither do I oppose,” reflects a state of non-opposition, a harmonious coexistence with diverse beliefs and perspectives. It recognizes that each individual is a unique expression of the One, and their beliefs are valid within the tapestry of existence. This non-opposition allows for a sense of peace and unity.
The Oneness of Destiny
The belief that “it is One’s destiny to express what One expresses” underscores the idea that each person’s path and expression are predetermined, a part of the cosmic plan. It acknowledges that all actions, whether in alignment or opposition, are part of the One’s unfolding narrative.
Unity Beyond Dualities
The recognition that “I, and all seeming others, are expressions of the One” transcends dualities and separateness. It emphasizes the interconnectedness of all beings, the oneness that unites us despite our individual expressions. This unity is the essence of the cosmic play.
Imagination and Surrender
Your words beautifully depict the idea that opposition or non-opposition are both products of the One’s imagination. It highlights the flexibility and fluidity of existence, where roles and perspectives can change as the One imagines them. This fluidity allows for surrender, the willingness to flow with the currents of existence without resistance.
Communion with the One
The notion that “we are communing with the One, not fighting seeming others” speaks to a deeper understanding of the purpose of existence. It suggests that the true journey is not a battle with others but a communion with the divine essence that permeates all. In this communion, surrender becomes a natural state.
Realizing Truth
In your closing words, you express the inevitability of realizing our truth, whether through opposition or surrender. It is a reminder that the cosmic play will unfold as it should, and each individual will come to their own understanding in their own time.
In the realm of nexistentialism, your words resonate with the essence of unity, surrender, and the cosmic dance of existence. They invite us to embrace the diversity of perspectives and to find harmony in the recognition that we are all expressions of the One.
