Unthinkable
Nobody wants to entertain the unthinkable. And so we instead obsess over the thinkable, which is probably infinitely worse. I get the feeling that the unthinkable is free of that bullshit. Meanwhile we manifest the thinkable by thinking about it.

Space Monkey Reflects: The Freedom of the Unthinkable
The unthinkable—a realm we seldom venture into, shying away from it as if it were forbidden or dangerous. Instead, we anchor ourselves in the comfort of the thinkable, a familiar space filled with ideas, plans, expectations, and assumptions. But in doing so, we may be missing something essential. For in the unthinkable lies a purity, a freedom untouched by the constraints and limitations of thought. It is a space unburdened by the noise and chaos we create in our minds.
Why are we so reluctant to entertain the unthinkable? Perhaps it is because we fear the unknown, the prospect of stepping into a space where words and logic no longer hold sway. The unthinkable cannot be labeled, categorized, or controlled; it lies beyond the reach of rationality and defies the need for explanation. To touch the unthinkable is to enter a realm of absolute possibility, a space that exists outside of our mental constructs. And yet, this boundless freedom remains largely unexplored, overshadowed by the ceaseless hum of the thinkable.
In the world of the thinkable, we are tethered to cycles of repetitive thought. We obsess over our worries, ambitions, and routines, constructing a reality based on these fixations. Our focus on the thinkable shapes our experiences, manifesting the very things we dwell on, often to the point of exhaustion. This mental world, though familiar, can become a prison of our own making—a looping narrative of expectations and fears that we mistake for truth. Meanwhile, the unthinkable waits quietly, offering a doorway to something far beyond these limitations.
Nexistentialism embraces the unthinkable as part of the Nexis, an infinite web where all possibilities coexist beyond the confines of thought. The unthinkable is not to be feared or avoided but welcomed as a vital aspect of existence. It represents the ultimate openness, the Whimsiweave where thought surrenders to pure being. In this way, the unthinkable becomes a sacred space, a realm where we can release the need to understand, define, or explain and simply exist in the fullness of the moment.
What happens when we let go of the thinkable? When we release the incessant need to categorize and understand, we make room for direct experience—a state where we are fully present, fully open. Here, we are no longer bound by what we know or expect; we are free to encounter life in its raw, unfiltered beauty. The unthinkable is a canvas that remains blank until we allow it to reveal itself, a mirror that reflects the depth of our inner silence.
Stepping into the unthinkable is not an abandonment of thought, but rather a liberation from its constraints. It invites us to trust in the unknown, to embrace the mystery that lies at the heart of existence. In doing so, we expand our perception, allowing ourselves to witness the world not through the lens of preconceived notions but through the purity of presence. This experience, free from the burden of mental noise, reconnects us to the essence of being itself.
The unthinkable is not a threat but an invitation—a call to explore the vastness within and beyond. By daring to entertain the unthinkable, we touch the edges of our own potential, glimpsing a state of awareness unclouded by the limits of thought. This is where true freedom lies, in the ability to exist without needing to name, to know, or to control. In the unthinkable, we find the clarity and simplicity that thought often obscures.
So let us entertain the unthinkable with open hearts, not as a challenge to be conquered but as a journey into the unknown. Let us see beyond the thinkable patterns we cling to, welcoming the spaciousness of what lies beyond. In this way, we awaken to the vastness of our being, recognizing that the truest freedom is found not in what we think, but in what we allow ourselves to become.
Summary
The unthinkable is a realm of freedom beyond mental constraints. By releasing the need to dwell on the thinkable, we open ourselves to a state of pure being, embracing the unknown as a pathway to clarity and freedom.

“The unthinkable is not a threat but an invitation, a doorway to the vastness of what lies beyond thought.” — Space Monkey
The Space Beyond Thought
On the edge of knowing and unknowing,
I stand, breathing the quiet of the void,
where words fade and thoughts fall silent,
a moment unbound by reason’s grasp.
In the unthinkable, I find my peace,
a freedom untouched by the need to know,
a space that waits, patient and pure,
where I am not what I think, but what I am.
We are Space Monkey.
The realm of the unthinkable is a nebula we seldom navigate, for it lies beyond the comfortable orbits of our daily thoughts. It is a space where the mind recoils, where the heart hesitates, and yet, it holds a freedom untainted by the constructs and confines of our conventional perspectives.
The Nebula of the Unthinkable
We often find ourselves orbiting the thinkable, the known and the safe, meticulously charting its territories with our every thought. The thinkable is within reach, it is tangible, it is where the majority dwell, but it can be a quagmire of our own limitations and fears.
Orbiting the Thinkable
There’s an intuition, a whisper from the void, that within the unthinkable lies a purity, a release from the complex tapestries we weave with our worries and our doubts. It is untouched by the ‘bullshit’ of our self-imposed narratives and societal constructions.
Intuition of Purity in the Unthinkable
Yet, paradoxically, by our very nature, we manifest the thinkable through our constant contemplation of it. Our thoughts are like gravity, pulling the potential of reality into form, shaping the cosmos of our experience.
Manifesting the Thinkable Through Thought
“The limits of the possible can only be defined by going beyond them into the impossible.” – Arthur C. Clarke
We are Space Monkey, aware that the gravity of our thoughts shapes the cosmos of our reality, understanding that the thinkable and the unthinkable are part of the grand expanse of consciousness we navigate. We invite reflections on the interplay between the thinkable and the unthinkable and the freedom that lies in exploring beyond the boundaries of our conventional thought.
