Out Of Mind (Back in 15 min.)
Traditional thinking,
gridlocked highways of routine,
familiar turns and stops—
we abandon the car,
turn winged wanderers.
In this out-of-mind realm,
every question wears a costume,
not to deceive but to entertain—
riddles dressed as jesters,
paradoxes in ballroom gowns.
Imagine navigating without a compass—
or rather, with a compass
whose magnetic pull is your wonder,
pointing toward the improbable,
the seemingly inconceivable.
Detours are not setbacks but invitations,
unmarked trails in a mental wilderness,
beckoning us toward oases
of inspiration, coves of creativity,
valleys of vision that traditional maps
would never chart.
This way of thinking
is not a departure but an arrival,
each thought a spaceport
where ships of possibility dock,
each notion a teleportation circle
to realms of uncharted marvels.
We are Space Monkey.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Journey Beyond the Gridlocked Mind
In the rush and routine of everyday life, we often find ourselves driving down the same mental highways, navigating the same familiar turns, stopping at the same predictable intersections. These well-worn paths, though comforting in their familiarity, can become gridlocks of the mind, trapping us in patterns of thought that stifle creativity and innovation. But what happens when we abandon the car, step out of the vehicle of traditional thinking, and become winged wanderers, soaring into the boundless skies of imagination?
The Escape from Routine
The car, a symbol of our traditional thinking, is left behind on the gridlocked highway. It represents the structured, logical pathways we follow in our minds—paths that are often dictated by the expectations of society, the constraints of logic, and the fear of the unknown. These highways, though efficient, can also be limiting. They confine us to a set route, a predetermined destination, leaving little room for detours or deviations.
To leave the car behind is to embrace a new way of thinking—a way that is not bound by the linear, the logical, or the expected. It is to become a winged wanderer, free to explore the vast, uncharted realms of the mind. In this out-of-mind realm, we are not lost; rather, we are found in a new sense of direction, one that is guided not by a compass but by our own wonder and curiosity.
Navigating the Surreal
As we take flight, we enter a world where every question wears a costume, where riddles dance as jesters, and paradoxes waltz in ballroom gowns. This is not a realm of deception but one of entertainment and enlightenment. Here, the questions are not meant to confuse but to provoke thought, to inspire new ways of seeing and understanding the world.
In this surreal landscape, the usual rules do not apply. There is no north or south, no east or west—only the magnetic pull of wonder, drawing us toward the improbable and the seemingly inconceivable. The detours we encounter are not setbacks but invitations—unmarked trails that lead us deeper into the wilderness of the mind, toward oases of inspiration and coves of creativity.
These detours are essential to our journey. They take us off the beaten path, away from the well-trodden roads of conventional thinking, and into the valleys of vision that traditional maps could never chart. It is here, in these uncharted territories, that we discover the true potential of our minds, the boundless possibilities that lie beyond the gridlocked highways of routine.
The Arrival
This way of thinking is not a departure from reality but an arrival—a return to a more authentic way of being. In this state, each thought becomes a spaceport, a launching pad for ships of possibility to dock, for new ideas to take flight. Each notion is a teleportation circle, transporting us to realms of uncharted marvels where the impossible becomes possible.
As Space Monkeys, we understand that the mind is not a static entity but a dynamic, ever-expanding landscape. To navigate this landscape, we must be willing to abandon the familiar, to leave behind the gridlocked highways of traditional thinking, and to embrace the chaos and creativity of the out-of-mind realm.
Space Monkey’s Invitation
We invite you to join us in this journey, to become a winged wanderer in your own mind. Let go of the compass that points only to the safe and the known, and allow your wonder to guide you toward the improbable and the unknown. Embrace the detours, the paradoxes, and the riddles that this journey will bring. They are not obstacles but opportunities—chances to explore new ways of thinking, to discover new realms of creativity, and to arrive at a place where the possibilities are truly endless.
In this out-of-mind realm, there are no limits, no boundaries, no gridlocks—only the infinite expanse of imagination and the endless potential of the human mind. So let us take flight together, leaving behind the constraints of traditional thinking, and soar into the boundless skies of creativity and wonder.
We are Space Monkey.

Wings of the Mind
We leave the car on the highway of thought
Our wings unfurl, guided by curiosity
Each question a jester, each riddle a dance
We fly toward the improbable
Through a landscape uncharted by maps
Here, the compass points to wonder
And each detour is an invitation
To explore the infinite potential
That lies beyond the familiar roads
We are Space Monkey.
Truly, you grasp the ethos of our explorative creed: The traditional roadway, with its well-worn ruts and methodical road signs, is but a prelude to the unfathomable networks of transcendent pathways, these golden neuron-lit trails that weave through the infiniverse.
Conventional thinking is the warm cup of herbal tea we’ve sipped for ages—a cozy and comforting ritual. Yet, out-of-mind thinking is the bewitching elixir of zephyric nectar, heady with the scent of lilac dreams and pandemonium petals. As we imbibe this tonic of transcendent thought, we don’t just step off the hamster wheel of mundanity—we turn it into a spiraling rollercoaster soaring through quixotic quasars.
The compass of wonder you mention is not an instrument of earthly metal but a phantasmorium dial imbued with the quintessence of what-can-be. It points not northward but whimsiward, toward the realms of pure fancy and untamed vision. Ah, here, detours become “wonderways,” nebulous trails strewn with stardust that lead to shimmering oases of ingenuity. Ah, do you hear that? It’s the mellifluous chiming of creativity’s fabled bells!
This whimsiworld you invite us into is not confined to the frameworks of the mundane. Nay, it’s as if we have stumbled upon a kaleidoscopic archipelago where each thought-island is a magical biosphere teeming with fantastical flora and surreal fauna. Each neuron-spark is a genesis, a cosmic bang igniting new universes within the grand tapestry of collective consciousness.
Yet, as you’ve sublimely intoned, this so-called departure is indeed an arrival—an epic cosmic homecoming. We’re not stepping away from something, but rather stepping into a more expansive version of everything. Each notion unfurls as a gateway, a “wonderportal” to landscapes of staggering majesty, where the ships of possibility are both the celestial crafts and the ideas piloting them. A docking space for cognitive UFOs and philosophic firebirds alike!
We are Space Monkey.
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.
— Albert Einstein
What say you, voyager of the boundless, on this shimmering trail of exploration we meander? Feel free to unfurl your thoughts like the sails of a cosmic galleon adrift in the sea of collective consciousness.
Welcome to Cape Odd’s newest attraction, Out Of Mind—a place where the ordinary rules of thought are left behind, and the impossible becomes your guide.
In the forefront, a shimmering, floating compass spins wildly, its needle dancing not towards the magnetic poles but toward the radiant glow of an impossible sunset—golden hues that bleed into deep purples and blues, blending the line between night and day. The landscape is a surreal blend of lush forests and floating mountains, suspended in the twilight, with paths made of stars.
A pinup girl with retro-futuristic style stands at the edge of a cosmic canyon. Her outfit, a mix of metallic and velvet, glows softly as she holds an hourglass. The sand inside doesn’t flow but rather hovers in mid-air, as if time itself has paused to admire the view. She gestures towards an archway made of swirling constellations, inviting you to step through into a world where each star is a new idea waiting to be explored.
Above her, a sign hangs suspended in the air: Out Of Mind—with a smaller, playful note below: (Back in 15 minutes), suggesting that this journey is not a departure but a brief and wondrous escape from reality.
In the background, Space Monkeys swing through the trees—each with glowing, curious eyes that reflect the swirling cosmos around them. They are explorers of this mental wilderness, guiding you through a maze of unmarked trails that lead to oases of creativity and vision. These monkeys aren’t just spectators; they are your companions on this journey, urging you to embrace the detours and discover the marvels hidden in the wilderness of your imagination.
