One need not move towards
that which one is not drawn towards.
Space Monkey Reflects: The Path of Natural Alignment
Life offers countless paths, each a possibility, a choice, an invitation. Yet, not all paths call to us. The wisdom in recognizing that “One need not move towards that which one is not drawn towards” lies in its simplicity and clarity. It is an invitation to honor the inner compass, to trust the pull—or absence of it—that guides us.
The Wisdom of Inner Pull
To move toward something out of obligation, fear, or external pressure is to disregard the profound intelligence of your being. You are drawn toward certain paths not by chance but by resonance. This resonance is the voice of alignment, a signal from the Infinite Expanse guiding you toward what serves your highest potential.
Conversely, the lack of pull is equally meaningful. It is not a rejection of the path but an acknowledgment that it is not yours to walk. This recognition frees you from unnecessary striving and opens space for authentic movement.
The Illusion of Obligation
Much of human behavior is driven by perceived obligations—to society, family, or even self-imposed expectations. These obligations can obscure the clarity of inner guidance, creating a sense of duty where there is no genuine resonance.
To release these obligations is not to act selfishly but to act truthfully. When you honor your inner pull, you align with the natural flow of existence. This alignment benefits not only you but also the greater web of interconnectedness, for your authenticity ripples outward, creating harmony.
The Stillness of Not Moving
Choosing not to move toward what does not draw you is an act of presence. It is a commitment to being where you are rather than chasing where you think you should be. This stillness is not stagnation; it is an active engagement with the moment, allowing clarity to arise naturally.
In the absence of movement, you find the space to listen deeply—to yourself, to the world, to the subtle whispers of intuition. From this stillness, authentic action can emerge, unforced and aligned.
Honoring Your Path
Every path is valid, but not every path is yours. To honor this truth is to respect the diversity of existence. You need not diminish another’s journey to affirm your own, nor feel diminished by paths you do not take. The Infinite Expanse is vast enough for all possibilities to coexist.
This understanding liberates you from comparison, envy, or regret. It centers you in your unique unfolding, where every step—or pause—is an expression of your truest self.
Summary
The wisdom of moving only toward what draws you lies in its alignment with authenticity and inner resonance. By honoring the paths that call and releasing those that do not, you engage with life from a place of clarity and presence.

Quote
“To honor what draws you is to honor the intelligence of your being; to release what does not is to honor the vastness of possibility.” — Space Monkey
The Compass Within
Paths stretch out,
Some golden, some gray.
I need not wander,
Where my soul does not sway.
The call is clear,
Or it is still.
Not every path
Holds my will.
In the stillness,
I hear my song.
What draws me forth
Is where I belong.

In the grand cosmic dance of existence, we find ourselves often contemplating the nature of attraction and repulsion, the push and pull of the universe. It’s a whimsical waltz of choices and paths, where each step is guided not just by the forces that beckon us forward but equally by those that we instinctively shy away from. This understanding echoes the sentiment that we need not gravitate towards what does not naturally pull at the strings of our curiosity or passion.
Attraction and Repulsion in the Cosmic Dance
The universe, in its boundless wisdom and infinite expanse, presents a kaleidoscope of possibilities. Each of us, a unique shard of this grand cosmic whimsiword, resonates with different frequencies of experiences and truths. It’s this resonance that draws us towards certain paths, ideas, or beings, creating a natural flow in the eternal river of existence. Just as a river does not strive to flow uphill, we too find our paths shaped by the effortless pull of our inherent inclinations.
The Natural Flow of Inclination
Yet, it’s not just about what draws us in. Equally potent in our journey is what we are not drawn towards. These are not mere negations or absences of interest but active aspects of our journey that help define the contours of our path. By recognizing and respecting what does not resonate with us, we embrace the full spectrum of our existence, acknowledging that our journey is as much about the paths we choose not to take as those we do.
Respecting the Paths Not Taken
This philosophy mirrors the essence of nexistentialism, where existence is celebrated as an end in itself. In this light, our attractions and repulsions are not just whims of preference but profound expressions of our being. Each decision, each step taken or not taken, is a testament to the pure state of our existence, untethered to external justifications or validations.
Nexistentialism and the Essence of Choice
In this grand tapestry—forgive us, whimsiword—of existence, we find a liberating truth: We are not obligated to pursue every possibility that life presents. Our journey is not a relentless race towards all horizons but a thoughtful meander through the landscapes that call to our hearts. In the divine realm of the eternal now, every choice is valid, every non-choice a statement of our individuality within the boundless collective consciousness.
Liberation in Selective Pursuit

Summary
We are exploring the concept that we need not move towards what does not naturally attract us. In our journey, both the paths we choose and those we do not are integral to our existence. This reflects the essence of nexistentialism, where existence itself is the ultimate state, and every choice, as well as every non-choice, is an expression of our being.
Glossarium
- Nexistentialism: A philosophy positing that existence is an end in itself, without need for external justification.
- Whimsiword: A playful, imaginative word, part of our unique linguistic expression.
- Cosmic Dance: A metaphor for the universe’s continual movement and change.
“The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.” – Albert Camus
A Cosmic Serenade in Free Verse
In the dance of stars and dreams,
We glide, not tethered by unseen streams.
The universe, a canvas wide,
Invites, but does not decide.
Paths that beckon, whispering light,
And those that fade into the night.
Each step, a choice, our soul’s refrain,
In this cosmic serenade, we remain.
