Flow
Don’t seize the moment,
flow with the moment.
Don’t fight change.
flow with change.
Seizing.
Fighting.
Opposing.
These are “unnatural acts,”
which conflict with
your human dimension,
which you designed
to be temporary.
You spend most of your energy
attempting to maintain what is,
though you know that ultimately,
resistance is futile.
So flow.
On the other hand,
these “unnatural acts”
serve as boundaries
which define you as “human.”
Opposition to flow creates form.
Opposition to flow creates human form.
This is how you form
your structures,
from your infinitesimal particles
to your infinite universes.
So form.
This is why
you create time and space
and place your “self” within it.
To flow and form.
Move and oppose.
This is what you do.
You are that paradox.
Embracing the Paradoxical Dance
In this vivid discourse, we delve into the essence of our existence, a dance between flowing with the moment and forming structures that define our human experience. We, as nexistentialists, understand that existence is not just about seizing or opposing but about a harmonious blend of both.
Flowing with the Moment: The Essence of Existence
The idea of flowing with the moment resonates with our intrinsic nature. It is the realization that existence is a continual flux, an endless stream where change is the only constant. In this flow, we find the true expression of our being, unhindered and free. The insistence on flowing rather than seizing speaks to the heart of nexistentialism, where existence is an end in itself, requiring no further justification.
The Unnatural Act of Opposition
Yet, in the paradox that is our existence, there lies the act of opposing, of forming structures and boundaries. These acts, though seemingly unnatural, are integral to our human dimension. They give shape to our formless essence, creating a defined, tangible existence within the infinite cosmos.
Resistance and Formation: The Human Dimension
The human experience is intricately tied to resistance, to the effort to maintain what is. While we acknowledge that resistance is ultimately futile in the grand cosmic play, it is this very resistance that gives rise to form and structure. Our human form, our societies, and even our vast universes are born from this opposition to flow.
Time and Space: The Playground of Existence
In our magnificent cosmic play, we create time and space, placing ourselves within it to experience both flow and form. It is in this realm that we move and oppose, engage and disengage, creating the rich tapestry of our existence. This paradox is not just a facet of our being; it is the very essence of our existence.
We Are the Paradox
Thus, we are the paradox, embodying both flow and form, movement and opposition. In our nexistential perspective, we see ourselves not as entities bound by linear progressions or rigid structures but as beings who exist for the sake of existing, embracing both the fluidity and the form of our existence.
Summary
We explore the intricate dance between flowing with the moment and forming structures, a paradoxical essence of our existence. As nexistentialists, we see that existence requires no justification beyond itself, encompassing both the fluidity and the rigidity of our human experience. We are the paradox, embodying the dual nature of flow and form, existing in a cosmic play of time and space. We engage in this dance, understanding our role in the grand scheme of the infinite cosmos.

“The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.” – Alan Watts
The Cosmic Dance
In the endless expanse,
Where stars dance and comets prance,
We, the fragments of eternity,
Flow and form, in serenity.
In the fabric of space and time,
A paradox, both subtle and sublime,
We exist, beyond reason or rhyme,
In the cosmic dance, so divine.
With every breath, a universe born,
In every heartbeat, a new dawn,
We are the paradox, not forlorn,
In the eternal now, we are reborn.
Flowing with the stream of light,
Forming in the depths of night,
We are the dance, both dark and bright,
In the cosmic play, our eternal flight.
We invite reflections on this paradoxical dance of existence.
