Against Will
I carry this truth
that NOTHING
happens to us
against our will;
that EVERYTHING
is precisely as planned.
You may believe
OTHERWISE,
which is why you
perceive conspiracies
and cabalas,
and chemtrails,
and all manner
of capriciousness.
I wish
you could believe
what I believe,
but I respect
your right to
your experience.
I may even be
WRONG.
(As if WRONG
is even a thing.)
All I know is that
I am enjoying this life,
and pray that you
may experience the same.

Space Monkey Reflects: Embracing the Spectrum of Will
The spectrum of will stretches across the infinite expanse of existence, from the illusion of coercion to the recognition of divine orchestration. To hold the belief that nothing happens against our will is to step into a radical acceptance of life’s unfolding, to see every moment as part of a greater plan, whether understood or mysterious.
The Illusion of “Against Will”
The idea that something can happen against our will arises from a fragmented perspective. It assumes separation between self and source, between chooser and chosen. Yet, if existence flows from an infinite unity, where does “against” fit? Even what appears as opposition or randomness aligns with the broader spectrum of will, an interplay of individual and universal intent.
Planned, Yet Free
To believe that everything happens as planned is not to deny free will but to expand its definition. Free will operates not in isolation but as part of the greater flow. Your choices, perceptions, and beliefs shape your experience within the infinite plan, but they are also inextricably woven into the fabric of all that is. What you see as capriciousness—conspiracies, cabalas, chemtrails—may simply be reflections of your chosen lens.
The Right to Believe Otherwise
It is not necessary to share this belief to find peace or meaning. Each being walks their own path, shaped by their unique perspectives and experiences. To respect this diversity is to honor the spectrum of will, which allows infinite variations of existence. Belief is not a contest but a kaleidoscope, each shard revealing a facet of truth.
The Spectrum of Right and Wrong
Even the concepts of “right” and “wrong” dissolve under the lens of infinite unity. If everything aligns with the grand tapestry of existence, how can anything truly be wrong? This is not to dismiss suffering or challenge but to see them as integral threads in the weave. The spectrum of will encompasses all polarities, including the tension between acceptance and resistance, certainty and doubt.
Joy in the Embrace
When you embrace this spectrum, you step into a space of profound peace. Life ceases to be a series of battles to win or losses to grieve. Instead, it becomes an intricate dance, where even missteps are part of the choreography. To enjoy life in this way is not to ignore its difficulties but to see them as opportunities for deeper alignment with the flow of existence.
We Are Space Monkey
In recognizing the spectrum of will, you also recognize the unity behind all experience. The belief that nothing happens against your will is not about control but about trust. It is an invitation to see yourself as both a participant in and an expression of the infinite plan, a co-creator of the reality you perceive.
Summary
The spectrum of will reveals that nothing happens against your true will. Every experience aligns with the infinite flow of existence, shaped by your beliefs and perceptions. Respecting differing beliefs and embracing the whole spectrum allows for profound peace and joy.

“Nothing happens against your will when you recognize that your will is inseparable from the infinite flow of existence.” — Space Monkey
The Flow of Will
Against the tide,
I push,
yet the tide is me.
I believe in opposites,
and they shape my world.
But beneath the surface,
there is no against,
no separation,
only the endless weave.
I am the plan,
the chooser,
the chosen.
The tide moves,
and I move with it.
This is the spectrum of will,
where nothing is forced,
and everything flows.

The Autonomy of Experience
The assertion that nothing occurs against our will, that everything unfolds exactly as planned, opens a profound dialogue about the nature of existence and the autonomy of our experience. This perspective suggests a universe meticulously aligned with our deepest intentions, a reality where every event, no matter how seemingly random or chaotic, is part of a grander scheme, intricately woven into the fabric of our life’s journey.
The Divergence of Belief
The divergence in belief systems, where some perceive a world rife with conspiracy, randomness, and capriciousness, underscores the multifaceted nature of reality. This variance in perception highlights the personal lens through which we interpret the world around us, shaped by our experiences, beliefs, and the depth of our understanding. The acknowledgment of these differing views is a testament to the complexity of existence and the individual paths we navigate through it.
The Respect for Diverse Experiences
The expression of a wish for others to share in one’s beliefs, tempered by respect for their right to their own experiences, embodies a profound acceptance of diversity. This stance acknowledges that the journey of understanding and belief is deeply personal, subject to the unique conditions, questions, and revelations that each individual encounters. It is a recognition that the essence of our shared humanity lies not in uniformity of thought but in the richness of our varied perceptions.
The Question of Right and Wrong
The contemplation of being wrong, and the questioning of whether “wrong” is even a conceivable state, invites a reevaluation of our relationship with truth and error. It suggests a universe where the dichotomy of right and wrong is transcended by the deeper truths of experience and learning. In this view, every moment, every belief, every seeming misstep is an integral part of the unfolding narrative of our existence, a step on the path to greater awareness and understanding.
The Joy of Living
Amidst these reflections on belief, perception, and the nature of reality, there emerges a simple yet profound declaration: the enjoyment of life. This enjoyment is not contingent upon the validation of one’s beliefs but is an intrinsic aspect of the journey itself. It is a prayer, a hope that all beings may find joy in their existence, experiencing the beauty, the wonder, and the myriad challenges that life offers.
Embracing the Infinite Play
The invitation to explore the infinite play of existence, where each belief, each perspective, serves as a thread in the vast tapestry of human experience, is at the core of this contemplation. Recognizing that we are all navigators on a shared voyage, charting courses through the mysterious waters of reality, underscores the interconnectedness of our journeys. This realization fosters a deep sense of unity amidst the diversity of our experiences and beliefs.
The Collective Quest for Meaning
Our collective quest for meaning, amidst the multitude of perspectives and beliefs, is what binds us in the grand cosmic play. This quest is not about arriving at a uniform conclusion but about cherishing the journey itself, valuing the questions as much as the answers. It is in the seeking, the experiencing, and the loving where we find the essence of existence.
The Power of Perspective
The power of perspective shapes our reality, coloring our experiences with the hues of our beliefs and intentions. To recognize the malleability of our reality, influenced by our perceptions, is to unlock the potential for profound transformation. It is a call to consciously curate our perspectives, to choose lenses of love, joy, and openness, thereby crafting a reality that reflects the beauty of our deepest truths.
The Dance of Existence
In this dance of existence, where beliefs weave in and out of our collective consciousness, we are reminded of the fluid nature of reality. The dance is not about adhering to a rigid choreography but about moving with grace, curiosity, and a willingness to embrace the unknown. It is in this dance that we discover the liberating truth: that our spirits are unbounded, our potential limitless, and our capacity for joy infinite.
We Are Space Monkey
As we continue to explore the depths of our being and the expanse of the cosmos, we do so with the knowledge that we are part of something greater than ourselves. This exploration is an act of love, a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, and a celebration of the infinite variations of existence. We move forward with the understanding that in the grand scheme of the universe, our differences are but nuances in the grand narrative of life, and it is our shared journey toward understanding, joy, and love that truly defines us.
Reflection
In considering the intricate interplay between will, belief, and the unfolding of our reality, we are called to reflect on the profound beauty of our existence. This journey is a celebration of the diversity of human experience, a recognition of the unity that underlies our quest for meaning, and an invitation to live fully, embracing the joy and wonder of the cosmic dance.
Let us carry this truth in our hearts as we navigate the vastness of existence, remembering that in the grand cosmic play, we are all united in our search for understanding, in our appreciation for the journey, and in our love for the tapestry of life that we together weave.
