There are a few things from around the web that I want to draw your attention to. Due to things ramping up at work and me trying to get clarity about my schedule and time (especially work events) over the next few months so I know when I have the energy capacity to do extra … Continue reading Links for Late January

Some Interesting Links for Your September
One of the self-care things I did for a small chunk of August was slowly reading a treatise or several in Plotinus' Enneads. I've read the Enneads less systematically than one might expect, as I tended to tackle the treatises as they came up in footnotes while doing my first read-through of Proclus. It was … Continue reading Some Interesting Links for Your September
Five Beautiful Things
“Praise to the Melodious Wisdom Goddess Saraswati, Called ‘The Melody of the Youthful Display of Joy,’ by Kunkhyen Longchenpa in Sunlight Speech That Dispels the Darkness of Doubt: Sublime Prayers, Praises, and Practices of the Nyingma Masters, translated by Thinley Norbu.

Short musings on Battlestar Galactica (and a few questions)
When I was much younger than I am now, I wrote a post on a blog that has long since passed away (something I reposted later on) about Battlestar Galactica, the reboot series that aired on what was then the SciFi channel during my senior year of high school (the first episode aired in October … Continue reading Short musings on Battlestar Galactica (and a few questions)
I’ll Be Thinking About This Heraclitus Fragment For a Bit
The Thinking Root is a bright blue book with a bright yellow inner cover, like the sun and the lush blue sky, promising joy and expansiveness. I've opened it up a few times, and this fragment in particular (note: these aren't numbered in the book, unfortunately) is lush to mull over. Enjoy. Image made in … Continue reading I’ll Be Thinking About This Heraclitus Fragment For a Bit
A Children’s Book with Plotinian Themes, Followed By Book Chatter
If you've been keeping up with my monthly updates, you may recall that I mentioned switching to the Calm meditation app from Headspace in part because the mini-dharma talks are at the end of the meditation time instead of at the beginning. I would get excited by the discourse in Headspace and not be able … Continue reading A Children’s Book with Plotinian Themes, Followed By Book Chatter
In Which I Do Something Platonic to Me Not You’s “Kill the Noise” Lyrics
In my Discover Weekly playlist, a piece by an artist called Me Not You was introduced to me. And Plotinus’ On Beauty has been on my mind because I was part of a private group discussion about it recently. So, my mind was primed when I started listening to this, Muses help me. My laundry … Continue reading In Which I Do Something Platonic to Me Not You’s “Kill the Noise” Lyrics
What Happens When You Ask AI to Give You Stories About the Gods
Like many people on the Internet, I have found the ChatGPT AI tool. Unlike many people, I do not have grandiose views of AI. It is not sentient any more than the random number generator I use when I ask the Gods to show me which Delphic Maxims to focus on every week, and the … Continue reading What Happens When You Ask AI to Give You Stories About the Gods
Why Is the Home Decor Crowd Trying to Sell Us All On “Cluttercore”?
In early May, I received a plastic transparent plaque from my workplace in honor of my ten-year service anniversary, which is coming up in late June. Also in the box was a card linking me to the website where I could redeem a gift. There had been no gift for my five-year anniversary, just a … Continue reading Why Is the Home Decor Crowd Trying to Sell Us All On “Cluttercore”?
