Lux Colloquii – Trance Blackman

Lux Colloquii is a Latin phrase meaning “light through conversation,” and it represents the throughline of my life’s work: amplifying the light. It is an ongoing exploration of ideas and possibilities through in-depth conversations between myself and OpenAI’s ChatGPT.

Covering topics such as philosophy, psychology, politics, metaphysics, spirituality, science, and wellness, this space, must like my regular journal, serves as a forum for curiosity and reflection. Each post unfolds as a question-and-answer exchange, offering authentic interactions with AI that invite deeper inquiry into knowledge, consciousness, and the human experience.

Because ChatGPT reflects built-in biases and often mirrors mainstream narratives, this project is an exercise in critical thinking, discernment, and intuition — testing how well I understand the ideas I explore. That being said, verify things you find here for yourself!

If you’re drawn to thoughtful conversation and fresh perspectives on both timeless and emerging themes, Lux Colloquii invites you to engage, question, and explore.

In all things — amplify the light.

The Firmament of the Mind: Breaches, Resets, and the Gatekeepers

12 August 2025 ~ 31 minute read

Truth isn’t a prize sitting neatly on a pedestal, waiting for us to stroll up and claim it. It’s buried — layer upon layer — under the debris of curated history, engineered distractions, and gilded myths. To peel it back is to risk dismantling everything you thought was real, only to find another stage set beneath it. And still, the pull remains — to see beyond the dome, to know what lies past the sanctioned horizon.

The Darkening Formula: How Media Hooks and Conditions Us

12 August 2025 ~ 22 minute read

There’s a strange comfort in recognizing the patterns — the ones hiding in plain sight, dressed up as adventure, romance, or noble sacrifice. The further you watch, the deeper you’re pulled into a current of escalating darkness, until you’re wading through brutality so casual it feels almost normal. But normal it’s not. This is programming — crafted to slip under the skin, past the rational mind, into the places where stories and reality start to blur. And once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

Spectacle vs. Substance: Why Modern Sci-Fi Leaves Us Empty

05 August 2025 ~ 26 minute read

We live in an era of boundless creative freedom — and yet, somehow, most of what’s produced feels hollow. We’re offered spectacle without substance, nostalgia without soul, and storytelling that chases algorithms rather than meaning. What was once a genre built on hope and humanity has been flattened into a delivery system for politics, ideology, and content quotas. Here, we unpack how it happened — and why it matters.

The Empire’s Loop: Seeds, Shots, and Simulation

03 August 2025 ~ 17 minute read

There are moments when the veil thins — when the patterns, normally blurred by convenience or distraction, reveal themselves in full. What begins as a seemingly isolated thread — seeds, laws, profits, prescriptions — unfurls into a tightly woven web designed not for flourishing, but for dependency. And as the illusion begins to falter, those still paying attention are left to reckon with the truth behind the simulation.

Chemical Skies, Psyops, and the War for Perception

03 August 2025 ~ 20 minute read

In a world where truth has been kneecapped by institutional sleight of hand and narratives mutate faster than anyone can track, we’re left to parse meaning from fragmented signals in the noise. We witness the skies and the systems and ask: is what I’m seeing real — or curated? In this exchange, the veil is not lifted cleanly, but pulled at from both sides.

“Big” Fixes: When the Solution Is the Problem

03 August 2025 ~ 16 minute read

This conversation cuts through surface-level discourse to expose the deeper currents shaping our collective reality. It challenges the dominant narratives of climate, energy, and technological “solutions” — not with counter-narratives, but with discernment, inquiry, and a refusal to accept manufactured crises as truth. In a world gripped by illusion and driven by commodified fear, what emerges here is a call to reclaim clarity, sovereignty, and alignment with what is natural, real, and enduring.
