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.

Quiet Quitting: In the Liminal Fog of a Fading Era

03 December 2025 ~ 23 minute read

There are moments when the noise of the age grows so thick — so insistently loud — that something in us quietly steps back, listening for a deeper resonance beneath the static. We feel the strain in the seams of society, the drift in the collective psyche, the hollowing out of promises that once shaped our sense of direction. And yet, in that retreat, there’s a kind of clarity — a recognition that something essential is being asked of us again.

The 138‑Year Pulse: The Rhythm Beneath the Reset

02 December 2025 ~ 30 minute read

There are moments when the patterns we’ve been circling for years — the ones buried beneath the noise of modern narratives and the discouraging tangle of fragmented histories — suddenly line up with an almost unsettling clarity. It’s as if something inside us remembers the original symmetry, even after centuries of distortion. We feel the truth before we articulate it — the rhythm beneath the calendars, the pulse beneath the myths, the quiet intelligence woven through a realm that seems to reset itself with unnerving precision. This is the territory where intuition meets pattern, and where the façade of our inherited cosmology begins to thin.

The Anatomy of a Managed Collapse: Signals from a Civilization in Freefall

26 November 2025 ~ 39 minute read

There comes a point when the veil thins just enough for the attentive soul to glimpse the machinery behind the pageantry — the hum of consensus, the choreography of perception, the strange theatre of a world insisting on its own stability even as its foundations tremble beneath us. In that space between what we’re told and what we quietly observe, a deeper truth stirs, asking only that we stay awake long enough to notice what no headline ever will.

The Synthetic Dream: Data Instead of Reality

19 October 2025 ~ 17 minute read

We’re living through a quiet inversion — a moment when the map has overtaken the territory, and data has become the dominant expression of what we call real. The human story, long mediated through art, language, and memory, is now increasingly shaped by algorithms, proxies, and synthetic simulations of experience. What began as tools to extend our understanding have become the filters through which that understanding must now pass. And so we find ourselves adrift in a new kind of labyrinth — one built not of walls, but of reflections.

Old Shoes, New Ground: On Simplicity, Self-Reliance, and the Rhythm of Renewal

08 October 2025 ~ 19 minute read

There’s a quiet current moving beneath the noise — a longing to return to something simpler, more deliberate, more real. Many feel it, though few name it. It’s not about running away from the city or chasing the romanticism of off-grid life, but about listening for what’s authentic beneath the habits and systems we’ve built. Each step, whether toward a village or back into town, becomes a question of belonging — to place, to purpose, to truth.
