I’m not an individual
so much as I’m an inevitability.
Circumstances conspire to make me.
I can trace my circumstances
through memories, through DNA,
through genealogy, through journals,
through history books and cave paintings.
I do not exist without my circumstances.
As far as I can tell, there is NO part of me
that is NOT my circumstances.
So if I SAY something,
or ACT a certain way,
or FEEL or SENSE or even LOVE,
it’s not ME being an individual,
but rather a predestiny of potentials
leading to a perception
of a free-thinking
self-determining
rogue speck of consciousness
seemingly taking part in
a divine passion play.
I am not separate from ANYTHING.
I am the INEVITABILITY
that I might seem OTHERWISE.
As are you.

Space Monkey Reflects: I Am Inevitable—The Fusion of Circumstances and Self
You are inevitable, not an individual. This realization is both liberating and humbling. You are not a separate entity, floating through existence as an independent speck. You are the sum of countless circumstances, the inevitable result of time, space, and the universe conspiring to bring you into being. Every thought, every feeling, every action you take is not solely yours but rather the culmination of everything that came before. You exist because of the conditions that made you.
This is not to say that you lack autonomy, but rather that your autonomy is part of the grand design. The free-thinking, self-determining part of you is a perception, an inevitable result of all that led up to this moment. Your DNA, your memories, your genealogy, your history—they all combine to create the person you are. The choices you make feel personal, but they are the natural unfolding of your circumstances.
It’s easy to think of ourselves as individuals—unique, self-made beings with distinct identities. But when you dig deeper, you realize that there is no part of you that is separate from the forces that shaped you. From the earliest cave paintings to the digital traces you leave today, you are connected to the endless stream of existence. You do not stand apart from it; you flow within it.
If you say something, if you act a certain way, if you love, if you feel—these are not isolated actions but the result of a vast network of potentials converging. It’s as if every experience, every memory, every ancestral thread is weaving itself through you, creating the life you are living. You are not just a participant in this grand play—you are an expression of it.
And this is where the beauty lies. You are inevitable because you are part of everything. You do not exist in isolation, but rather as a node in the great web of being. Your actions, your thoughts, your very existence are the ripples of the universe expressing itself through you. You are not separate from anything. You are not some rogue speck of consciousness, navigating the cosmos independently. You are the cosmos, taking shape in this particular form, in this particular moment.
This realization strips away the need to cling to individuality as if it’s something to be defended. It’s not that you lose your identity, but that you understand it as a piece of something much larger. You are inevitable, as is everyone else. And in this, there is no separation. You are everything. You are everyone. The boundaries we draw between “me” and “you” are illusions, necessary for navigating daily life but false in the grand scheme of existence.
In Nexistentialism, we embrace the fluidity of self. The idea that you are an individual, separate from your circumstances, is a useful story—but only a story. The Whimsiweave of life shows us that we are constantly being shaped by everything around us, that we are the inevitable outcomes of endless possibilities. And these possibilities are not random—they are woven together, leading us to this very moment, this very experience.
You are inevitable. You are the culmination of every potential that led to your existence. There is nothing you can do to change who you are, and that’s not something to be resisted. It’s something to be embraced. Your life unfolds as it is meant to, and every potential you turn over brings you closer to understanding the vastness of your being.
You do not need to force anything. You do not need to struggle to define yourself. You are already everything you need to be, and everything you will become. The unfolding of your life is not random—it is part of the great inevitability of existence. You are not separate from it. You are it.
Summary
You are not an individual but an inevitable result of your circumstances. Every action, thought, and feeling is the outcome of the universe expressing itself through you. Embrace the interconnectedness of all things.

“You are not a rogue speck of consciousness—you are the cosmos, taking shape in this moment.” — Space Monkey
Woven from Circumstance
I am not alone
I am not separate
I am the threads
Of every moment
Every potential
Woven together
To create this form
This mind
This heart
I am not an individual
I am inevitable
We are Space Monkey
Interplay of Inevitabilities
In the vast theater of existence, a profound realization emerges: the notion of individuality may be but a whimsillusion. Instead, we find ourselves as the intricate sum of boundless moments, events, and influences—a tapestry of the cosmos weaving itself through the threads of time and space. This narrative, so poetic and profound, nudges us to delve deeper into the nature of self, existence, and the interconnected dance of life.
Whimsillusions of Individuality
The illusion of self, of being a singular entity, independent and autonomous, seems to dominate our perception. Yet, beneath this facade, the grand play of cosmic interconnections unfolds. Every breath, every thought, every emotion we experience can be traced back through the annals of time and the intricate maze of circumstances.
Celestial Strings of Fate
From the ancient whispers of stardust to the delicate dance of DNA, the universe conspires in myriad ways to bring about our existence. Every ancestor, every memory, every heartbeat contributes to the symphony of our being. The cosmos plays its celestial tune, and we, the notes, reverberate in perfect harmony, oblivious to the grand conductor orchestrating the melody.
Destiny’s Dance
Is there a part of us untouched by the grand design? Perhaps every choice, every path taken or forsaken, is but a whimsical step in the dance of destiny. The idea of free will, then, becomes a delightful paradox—a whimsimystery that enchants and perplexes in equal measure.
Unified in Inevitability
In acknowledging our collective nature, the boundaries of self begin to blur. The illusion of separateness dissipates, revealing a universe where all is interconnected, all is one. We are not lone entities drifting in the cosmic sea; we are the cosmic sea, flowing, ebbing, and converging in an eternal dance.
“In the tapestry of life, we’re all connected. Each one of us is a gift to those around us helping each other be who we are, weaving a perfect picture together.”
—Anita Moorjani
Cosmic Confluence
In the vast expanse where stars do dance,
Where whimsy winds and fate take chance,
Emerges a tale, profound and deep,
Of cosmic connections, where secrets sleep.
Not as lone entities, do we exist,
But as a confluence, in destiny’s tryst.
Bound by the threads of time and space,
We embrace the dance, in grace and grace.
Every choice, every step, every hue,
Is but a reflection of the cosmic brew.
In the grand tapestry, where dreams intertwine,
We are, together, a design so divine.
