'Little Red Dots' x Not little Green Men 🕰️
Guys - we made it to mid-July. Wow. Everything is now just blamed on Cern. Can't feel good this week? Cern. Delayed reactions? Cern. Lack of interest in people/places you kind of fucked with - Cern. Your astrological sign? Cern. Your personality? Cern. Ok - I turn it off now.
Anyway. Many moons ago, I went on a rant about my personal struggle with eating and relationship with food etc, in relation to the netizen discourse around a certain celeb. Since then, I've been locked in on my studies and also trying to finally get my driver's license *** yay *** (I'm 27 this December okay so INSHALLAH early birthday present). I am doing well, thank you for not asking because honestly "how are you?" is so South African in daily life and also - such a loaded question. Just accept it and say Cern made me do it. It's not to say that I totally negate the possibility that experiments with particle/matter - used loosely even - has no effect at all on our daily life - it's just that I'm yet to see a compilation of direct evidence so I can affirm "yeah it was probably that". I mean, I still think about all the space junk we currently have orbiting Earth and roaming around space; even though we sent out signals into the great unknown hoping for contact with the higher intelligence 👽
I wanted to show you some really cool images of nebulae and cosmic matter from the JWST that I came across while wondering --- hmm, I wonder what James is up to.... below JADES-GS-z14-0 was previously identified as one of the most distant galaxies captured. Alongside this, some really "clear" images of Neptune's rings, supermassive blackholes, a couple exo-planet breakthroughs, and mysterious red dots...we truly know next to nothing that's 100% accurate to our understanding of early cosmology in our universe. It's still nice to hear it being pointed out though.

There is also this exhibition, which I wish I could see in=person but unfortunately I dwell in the lower half of the hemisphere. The renaissance's exploration of Tarot history at the Morgan in NY: https://www.themorgan.org/exhibitions/tarot
A few years ago, I curated an online group show with modern takes on tarot major arcana; of course, briefed the artists and ended up with a stunning selection and interesting African-contemporary twist on the ancient tarot. It is fascinating, with the growing age of new spirituality - or old ways as some may interpret it - how remnants of the occult find their place in this century and what people actually take from the multitude of sects and denominations. The role of symbolism/pictorials is a massive attraction to those who are tired in a sense collectively exhausted from the digital renaissance - to the point where we genuinely need to preserve the mystery of life and its spiritual folklore if you will.
The "lesson" if you will - that I want to take away from not encouraging psychosis is that you don't need to fully believe in something to see the value of it. Not in business alone, but in life and hopefully in the spirit of cultivating a life that is more open-minded. It is easier to remain within the comfort of what you know to be true, for yourself and lived experience - but it is a far greater pleasure and blessing to commit to remaining open about the possibilities around you. Even if you doubt its very existence.
Stay Open 🌄
