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.

Resilient Roots: The Living Memory of Seeds

24 September 2025 ~ 31 minute read

We live in a world where science, industry, and tradition rarely meet on common ground. The question of seeds — their origin, their integrity, and their mysterious resilience — offers more than just agricultural intrigue. It touches the root of human survival, the poetry of nature, and the timeless struggle between mechanized control and living intelligence. When we ask whether plants can rewrite themselves, we are also asking whether life itself resists captivity — and whether intention, memory, and spirit have a role in shaping matter.

Beyond Vitamins: Reframing Health in a World of Manufactured Lack

19 September 2025 ~ 9 minute read

We’ve been sold a story of lack — a narrative that insists we are fragile, incomplete, and in need of endless supplementation. But the truth feels much older and simpler: the earth provides, the body knows, and health emerges when we step back into rhythm with nature. Strip away the noise, and what remains is not deficiency but abundance, not weakness but resilience.

Ethanol, Vitamins, and the Myth of Solutions: The Anatomy of Industrial Harm

17 September 2025 ~ 19 minute read

Every age believes it is discovering something new, yet most of what unfolds are patterns repeating themselves in fresh costumes. Industry, politics, and technology don’t just respond to needs — they create them, manufacture belief, and entrench dependence. What we call progress often carries within it the residue of manipulation, inversion, and distortion, drawing us further from what is natural, simple, and human.

The Machinery of Extraction and the Map of Reframings: Inverting the Inversion

15 September 2025 ~ 19 minute read

There comes a moment when the noise of the market, the hum of the machine, and the endless demands of the system press so heavily against our days that we either collapse into it or begin to ask different questions. To see through the façade is one thing; to live within it without surrendering our truth is another. What follows is less prescription than invitation — a map of reframings, a set of tools and perspectives for those unwilling to let the matrix siphon away what is most real in them.

The Machinery of Extraction: Markets, Egregores, and the False Dream

14 September 2025 ~ 15 minute read

The patterns repeat, dressed in new language and cloaked in the sheen of progress. What is sold as innovation or freedom is, more often than not, another inversion — another tightening of the grip that siphons time, energy, and life-force. To speak plainly of it may seem severe, but clarity demands it: we are not witnessing advancement, but a deeper entrenchment of the same parasitic system that has stalked civilizations for centuries.

Epistemic Capture: The Hidden Architecture of Control

14 September 2025 ~ 13 minute read

We live in an age where perception itself is managed — where the boundaries of reality are defined long before we even begin to question them. Beneath the noise of politics, media, and technology lies something deeper: epistemic capture. It’s not simply the control of decisions, but of the very conditions of knowing. Once you see it, you cannot unsee it.
