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.
