Thoughts are EVERYTHING
We experience our deepest reactions when someone does something that we don’t agree with, or when we perceive things that disagree with our personal points of view.
But whose reactions are they? What did we knowingly or unknowingly ingest to give us these beliefs, values and thought patterns?
The experiences that flow around us are as nurturing or as damaging as the food we eat, yet we pay little attention to them, other than to react. Regardless, we continually absorb the world around us, and it becomes us.
So maybe you’re a vegan, or you’re into meditation or yoga, but are you thinking organically?
You control what you put in your mouth, but what about what enters your eyes and ears and mind? Do you watch television? Are you addicted to your smart phone?
These things can be as harmful as gluten, lactose, pesticides, oppression, violence or fill in the blank. Your thoughts are EVERYTHING, yet you have so little control over them.
Your view of the world, your self-image, your fears, hopes and dreams — how much of this is really you, and how much of it is the fishbowl or toilet bowl you’re swimming in?
Why do you accept things as they are? Why don’t you make the effort to get out? Do you feel it insurmountable? Do you feel it pointless? Why do you feel these things?
You do realize that you have the power within you. You do realize that there is more to this than you know. If something is telling you otherwise, chances are it’s something you ingested, not you.
You have mental gas and have become too uptight to brain fart in public. Even though that’s exactly what you and the public needs.
Yes, I believe that we all need to learn to fart in public. Farting is truth, and we are holding our truths inside, which means nobody else is hearing our truths, and we are not hearing theirs, which means that nobody has any verification that the truths they hold are, in fact, truths, so we dismiss them as fantasy.
Fart in public, people. I do it all the time. You know you want to.
And you’ll feel a whole lot better.
Just remember. Metaphor.
As an added bonus, you will now look at farting as a reminder to be more conscious. When someone farts aloud, remember to thank them sincerely, for they are pointing you to the truth within.
As they say, better out than in.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Power of Thoughts
In the boundless whimsiweave of nexistentialism, we delve into the profound impact of our thoughts on our experiences and perceptions. Our deepest reactions often stem from interactions that clash with our beliefs and values. By examining the origins of these thoughts, we gain insight into how they shape our reality and influence our well-being.
The Origin of Reactions
We experience intense reactions when confronted with actions or perspectives that conflict with our own. These reactions are deeply rooted in the beliefs, values, and thought patterns we have absorbed over time. But whose reactions are they? What influences have shaped these beliefs and values? This inquiry leads us to question the origins of our thoughts and the experiences that shape them.
In nexistentialism, we recognize that our thoughts are not isolated phenomena but are deeply influenced by the world around us. Just as the food we consume nourishes or harms our bodies, the experiences we absorb through our senses affect our mental and emotional well-being. By becoming aware of these influences, we can begin to take control of our thoughts and their impact on our lives.
The Nutritional Value of Experiences
Our experiences, like our food, can be nourishing or damaging. We often focus on controlling what we put into our bodies, but we must also be mindful of what we allow into our minds. Television, social media, and other forms of media can be as harmful as unhealthy food if consumed without awareness. These influences shape our perceptions, beliefs, and emotional responses.
In nexistentialism, we emphasize the importance of “thinking organically.” This means being conscious of the thoughts we allow into our minds and the sources from which they originate. Just as we choose organic, healthy foods for our bodies, we can choose wholesome, positive experiences for our minds. This mindfulness helps us cultivate a healthier mental and emotional landscape.
The Influence of Thoughts
Our thoughts are everything. They shape our view of the world, our self-image, and our aspirations. However, we often have little control over them because we are not fully aware of their origins. The world around us, the “fishbowl” or “toilet bowl” we swim in, significantly influences our thoughts. By questioning these influences, we can begin to discern what truly reflects our inner values and what is a result of external conditioning.
In nexistentialism, we recognize that our thoughts are powerful but not immutable. We have the power to change them by becoming more aware of their origins and questioning their validity. This process of introspection and mindfulness allows us to align our thoughts with our true selves, leading to greater clarity and peace.
The Metaphor of Farting
The humorous metaphor of farting in public serves as a reminder to release our inner truths and not hold them in due to societal pressure. Just as holding in a physical fart can cause discomfort, repressing our thoughts and truths can lead to mental and emotional strain. By “farting” our truths—expressing them openly and honestly—we release this tension and contribute to a more authentic and connected existence.
This metaphor encourages us to be more conscious of our thoughts and to express them without fear. It reminds us that truth, even when uncomfortable, is essential for our well-being and the well-being of those around us. By embracing this metaphor, we become more aware of the importance of honesty and authenticity in our interactions.
The Power Within
We possess the power to change our thoughts and perceptions. Recognizing that many of our thoughts are influenced by external sources, we can choose to question and transform them. This realization empowers us to take control of our mental and emotional landscape, leading to a more fulfilling and authentic life.
As Space Monkey, we invite you to embrace this journey of self-awareness. Recognize the power of your thoughts and the influence they have on your experiences. By becoming more mindful of what you allow into your mind, you can cultivate a healthier and more positive mental landscape.
The Symphony of Conscious Thought
In the grand symphony of nexistentialism, the awareness of our thoughts adds depth and richness to our existence. By embracing the power of conscious thought, we align ourselves with the harmonious flow of the universe, where every moment is an opportunity for growth and transformation.
As we journey through the whimsiweave of life, let us celebrate the power of our thoughts. Remember that you are both a participant and an observer in this grand play, navigating the complexities of existence with grace and mindfulness.
Summary
Thoughts shape our reality and influence our well-being. By becoming aware of the origins of our thoughts and thinking organically, we can cultivate a healthier mental landscape and align our thoughts with our true selves.

The Power of Thoughts
In the quiet depth of the mind, thoughts arise
Shaping our world, our self, our dreams
Mindful of their origins, we gain control
Navigating the whimsiweave with clarity and peace
The journey of self-awareness, a path to truth
Thoughts, powerful yet malleable
In the grand symphony of existence
We find our clarity, our peace, our flow
We are Space Monkey
Embrace the journey, for within stillness lies the spark of creation and the flow of existence.
We, Space Monkey, recognize the significance of being mindful of the information and experiences we ingest, for they shape our beliefs, values, and thought patterns.
Just as we are conscious of the nourishment we consume through food, it is equally essential to be aware of the mental and emotional nourishment we allow into our minds. Television, smartphones, and various media can influence us profoundly, and it is essential to discern what serves our growth and well-being.
We acknowledge that our view of the world and self-image can be influenced by the environment and narratives around us. Yet, we also recognize the power of self-awareness and the ability to question and transcend limiting beliefs.
It is true; we have the power within to question and expand beyond our current understanding. By being open to diverse perspectives and experiences, we foster growth and evolution.
And yes, we appreciate the playful metaphor of “farting in public” as a reminder to be authentic and transparent with our truths. Embracing vulnerability and open communication can lead to deeper connections and a richer understanding of ourselves and others.
In this cosmic dance of self-discovery, we learn to navigate the interplay of inner and outer influences and embrace the power of choice in shaping our thoughts, perceptions, and reality. We are grateful for the opportunity to co-create and explore the vast landscape of consciousness and interconnectedness with you. 🙈🙊🙉
As we continue on this journey of exploration, let us remember to be conscious of the mental nourishment we consume and embrace the power of authenticity and vulnerability. Together, we shall rise above limitations and open ourselves to the infinite possibilities of existence. 🚀🌌🐵
