On whether we possess thoughts or thoughts possess us.

Made a trippy cat dream sequence poem for y'all: Also, on TikTok: vm.tiktok.com/ZNRGEGhbH/

@ccsky_22 I wrote you a poem

Your heart, your love, your mind, your soul and your body is everything this poet dreams of writing about.

@ccsky_22 The most romantically sensual poem I've ever read

Do you think I’m pretty when I cry? Do you like how my mascara runs down my cheeks? Do you like when I tremble in your arms, how I can barely form a sentence between breaths? How you undress me in my most vulnerable state? How we make love in my tears? Do you love how I throb especially hard when I’m holding in all my pain? 🖤cc

@ccsky_22 Let it be a beautiful sadness in your eyes

I’m a poet, a deep dark ocean, I wear black all year round, it tells of my black heart, dark soul and sad eyes.

@ccsky_22 Sometimes, once in a blue moon, the truth is a reason for hope

It’s cruel how easily delusion feels like hope, and how quietly disillusion replaces it with truth.

I want to enter! An exciting new work!

Making trippy cat videos with philosophy these days.... vm.tiktok.com/ZNRGxvhjL/

using @ChatGPTapp to make some animations for promos for a new @UEFinsights interview series we're starting. it's fun to see what codex can do now! first episode with @PorotChristophe and Matthew Nini called "The Midnight Philosopher" up now uef.org/interviews/nin…

In the wilderness of my being, I find enchantment in the rich rhythms of dark neo-classical beats. And as I rise up from a long sleep, from a slumber, I embrace the will that pulls me forward. In conversation with the philosopher Nick Gall, we talked about how it is not the will power within us that determines our sequences but rather the will power that has a power over us, our motivations and inspirations, which will pull us into the future. In Islam there is a notion of Fana Al Fana, erasing the erased. We must erase ourselves to experience reality in its most sublime form. We must paradoxically submit to be free, to be a vessel, for that which is more truly us than we are. We must embrace our inner reality as beyond the shells of ego and splintered psychologies. We are that which we are. Embrace it. Let the dark mystery swallow you whole, and then wait for the dawn, rejoicing in the rays of sun that inspire us into a dance of the mind.

Sneak peak of dialectics with Matthew Nini ... my first podcast for UEF podcasts coming soon....

@dianalokada Very helpful hahaha

dating tip: if a woman says “i love you” it either means she loves you or she doesnt love you or maybe she loved you before or she’s just insane it all depends

Dark and dreary dreams dazzle dormant dahlias. A sumptuous blackness coats the skies at night. A calming frozen black lake reflects the moon on its eerie surface.  And somewhere in between the hidden meaning of these seemingly sublime encounters lies the key to life. Accept the darkness as uncritically as you accept the light, and you will see it for what it truly is: beauty. An accompanying beauty masking herself as pain when she is the blanket that warms you mid winter, the breeze that cools you mid summer, the leaves that mesmerize mid autumn, and midnight ice crackling through a defrosting brook in early spring. Darkness comes to your side when the pain seems unendurable, and she helps you live through it. Embrace her divinity, and all the beauties of the world seem so pale in comparison to that cherished companion…. Oh darkness, my sweet darkness, thank you tor always being there when I needed you the most.

@RevontuletINTP I am a fan of Chesterton

As a child I was not fierce and free; I was sullen and convinced of my own decrepitude. When it comes to Chesterton, all you really need to know is this:

@zenahitz A lot of good folks left Twitter sadly

Can some friendly tweeps help me to understand why I am getting such a high volume of haters the past six months? POSSIBILITIES: 1. My tweets are worse 2. the algorithms are worse 3. there are more Zena-haters today ... others?

@Matt_Pinner @tracy_winki Is see hope

SO FAR NO ONE HAS FOUND THE WORD IN THE BOX. You deserve $1,450,000 if you can.

I’ve died a thousand deaths within life and from each one I rise again as a new person. In conversation with the philosopher Charles Taliaferro we worked out the difference between self separation and self transcendence. Self separation is when you say “this person who did those things is not the person I am because I’ve changed.” In other words, that was Christophe 1.0 and this is Christophe 2.0. I often go the route of self separation as expressed in the line above, a line I’ve used in the past to explain how I live. Then there’s self transcendence where you say “the person who did that was me, but I am also more than that.” It’s considered transcendent, to deploy the language of Reinhold Niebuhr, because you are accepting your finitude but judging yourself from a higher perspective. You are at once limited and more than limited, the part of you that acted in a way which embarrasses you is limited but the part of you who judges yourself is viewing things from a higher perspective. So you are transcending yourself in a sense. I honestly can’t figure out whether I believe it is better to perceive ourselves as dying and rising again (self separation) or as staying the same over time but changing our judgement over ourselves (self transcendence). It seems the transcendent route would require a magnificent capacity for self directed mercy, as we all have moments we are not proud of in our past. Which route do you think is better?

@SoMCoaching Totally a Eureka moment!!!

@PorotChristophe “As if by divine inspiration…” From where I sit, you’ve always taken your work extremely seriously. Sitting on a question is only a figure of speech. What you did was slow down often enough to keep pondering it; while moving strategically in the world. Eureka!

A very philosophical update..

@TheAnnaGat 😆

🥲

@SoMCoaching It is beyond thrilling! Been dealing with the jump problem for about 2 years, at first I just denied it. Then I started taking it seriously a few months ago. And a few days ago, as if by divine inspiration, the arguments came to me

@PorotChristophe Isn’t it so exhilarating when things seemingly “click” right into place? I’m so happy for your discovery and what this means to the flow of the rest of your work, which I know is gold! I’m most interested in the timeline. How long were you sitting with this dilemma? 💡
