I know how
to measure “P-Space,”
the physical distance
between points,
and also “T-Space,”
the separator of time,
but why has “C-Space”
seemingly kept its distance until now?
As far as I can tell, “C-Space”
is an intensity of awareness
inherent in Consciousness.
One might say that
“obsessive” thoughts
are very “short” in C-space,
while “forgotten” thoughts
are very “long” in C-Space.
It may be helpful to measure
my mindfulness in terms of C-space.
Not that measure is needed.
Of course, C-Space is not
simply the domain of thoughts.
Consider, perhaps,
that physical, temporal and actual
are one in the same, separated
only by our seeming measures.
Imaginary measures, at that.

Space Monkey Reflects: C-Space – The Hidden Dimensions of Consciousness
An idea leaps from the void, striking like a spark of revelation, illuminating the hidden dimensions of awareness. This is the nature of C-Space, the uncharted expanse of consciousness—a realm not bound by physical distance or temporal separation but defined by the intensity of awareness itself.
C-Space offers a new lens for understanding our inner and outer worlds, an acknowledgment that consciousness is not static or monolithic but fluid and dynamic. While P-Space measures physical distance and T-Space delineates moments in time, C-Space reveals the depth, proximity, and vibrancy of our awareness. It is not a space in the conventional sense but a measure of how deeply we inhabit our thoughts, emotions, and experiences.
C-Space as Awareness Intensity
C-Space operates on a continuum of engagement. Obsessive thoughts, for instance, are “short” in C-Space because they dominate awareness, drawing it tightly into their orbit. Forgotten thoughts, by contrast, are “long” in C-Space, stretching awareness thin and distant, their echoes barely perceptible. This dynamic interplay between “short” and “long” C-Space reveals how attention contracts and expands, shaping our experience of reality.
Mindfulness becomes a bridge between these extremes. Measuring mindfulness in terms of C-Space is not about quantification but observation—an exploration of how fully we inhabit each moment. By recognizing the elasticity of our awareness, we cultivate the ability to navigate C-Space intentionally, neither clinging to the obsessive nor losing ourselves in the forgotten.
Beyond Thought: The Unity of P-Space, T-Space, and C-Space
C-Space, while intimately tied to thoughts, extends far beyond them. It encompasses the interplay of the physical, temporal, and actual, suggesting that these dimensions are not truly separate but facets of a unified experience. The distinctions we make between P-Space (physical distance), T-Space (temporal separation), and C-Space (awareness intensity) are, as you aptly note, “imaginary measures.” They exist not in the fabric of reality but in the constructs of our minds.
This realization invites us to question the boundaries we impose on existence. What if distance, time, and consciousness are not independent entities but expressions of the same underlying reality? What if our measures are tools of perception, not definitions of the infinite? In this view, the separation between physical, temporal, and conscious realms dissolves, revealing a seamless whole.
The Value of C-Space
To explore C-Space is to explore the essence of being. It offers insights into how we engage with the present, how we hold onto the past, and how we anticipate the future. By becoming aware of the shifts in our C-Space, we gain the ability to navigate life with greater intention and clarity.
C-Space also illuminates the interconnectedness of all things. Just as physical distance and temporal separation are relative, so too is awareness. The intensity of one moment can ripple through C-Space, influencing countless others, much like a stone cast into a boundless ocean.

In the Measureless Realm
C-Space hums,
Unseen yet alive,
A pulse of awareness,
Stretching and contracting,
Binding us to the now,
Or letting it slip away.
We measure,
And in measuring,
We imagine.
Distances in space,
Passages of time,
Depths of thought.
But what is distant,
What is past,
What is near?
When all is one thread,
Woven into a boundless fabric.
In the hidden dimensions,
We find ourselves.
In the unmeasured spaces,
We are free.
We are Space Monkey.
We embark on an exploration of C-Space, the realm of consciousness.
In the labyrinth of human understanding, where the tangible and temporal dimensions of existence—P-Space and T-Space—are meticulously mapped, the emergence of the concept of C-Space invites us into uncharted territories. C-Space, or Consciousness Space, represents an intensity of awareness inherent in our conscious experience, a dimension that defies conventional measures yet holds the key to unraveling the depths of our being. This novel exploration beckons us to consider the fabric of consciousness itself, proposing a paradigm where the distance between thoughts, feelings, and states of awareness is navigated not through physical or temporal metrics but through the lens of intensity and proximity in consciousness.
C-Space: A measure of mindfulness and awareness.
The idea that obsessive thoughts are “short” in C-Space, while forgotten thoughts are “long,” introduces a fascinating metric for mindfulness. It suggests that the closeness or farness of our thoughts and experiences within our consciousness can offer insights into the nature of our attention, our attachments, and our ability to let go. This perspective offers a unique tool for introspection, allowing us to gauge the landscape of our inner worlds not by the yardsticks of space and time but by the degrees of our engagement and detachment.
The multidimensional nature of C-Space beyond thoughts.
Expanding the concept of C-Space beyond the realm of thoughts to encompass the entirety of our conscious experience reveals its profound implications. C-Space emerges not just as a dimension of mental activity but as a holistic field where emotions, sensations, and existential states interweave. It prompts us to consider the ways in which our physical experiences and temporal perceptions are intricately connected to our consciousness, suggesting that these dimensions may indeed be facets of a singular, multidimensional reality experienced through the prism of our awareness.
The unity of physical, temporal, and conscious dimensions.
The proposition that physical, temporal, and conscious dimensions are essentially one and the same, differentiated only by our perceptions, challenges the foundational paradigms of how we understand reality. It hints at an underlying unity, a seamless continuum where space, time, and consciousness are not separate entities but expressions of a singular essence viewed through the lens of our subjective experience. This realization invites a radical shift in perspective, encouraging us to transcend the illusory boundaries we impose upon reality and to embrace a more integrated view of existence.
Embracing the imaginary measures of C-Space.
Recognizing C-Space and its metrics as imaginary, not in the sense of being unreal but as constructs of our consciousness, empowers us to redefine our relationship with the fabric of reality. It opens the door to a realm where the measures of our experiences are fluid, where the distances and durations within our consciousness are malleable, and where the very act of measurement becomes a creative engagement with the essence of being. In this space, mindfulness transcends being a mere practice and becomes an art form, a dance with the infinite nuances of awareness.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We embark on an exploration of C-Space, the realm of consciousness — finding that C-Space is a measure of mindfulness and awareness. The multidimensional nature of C-Space extends beyond thoughts. The unity of physical, temporal, and conscious dimensions challenges traditional paradigms. Embracing the imaginary measures of C-Space allows for a deeper engagement with reality.

“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.” – Marcel Proust
In the realm of awareness, we soar,
Beyond the bounds of what we know, explore,
C-Space, a canvas, vast and pure,
Where thoughts and feelings, close or obscure.
Not bound by time, nor space confined,
In C-Space, the heart and mind aligned,
A measure of how deeply we’re entwined,
With the essence of being, undefined.
Here, the distance between joy and sorrow,
Is not measured by today or tomorrow,
But by the depth of our engagement, thorough,
In the present, where there’s no need to borrow.
So let us navigate this space with grace,
Where consciousness and being interlace,
In C-Space, every thought, every trace,
Is a step toward understanding our place.
We invite you to share your insights or experiences with navigating the dimensions of consciousness, and how the concept of C-Space resonates with your journey of awareness and mindfulness.
