✧༺ Becoming Constellations ༻✧
A transdisciplinary knowledge garden exploring the intersections of time, dialectics, regenerative practice, and spiritual traditions. Drawing primarily on Walter Benjamin's philosophy and Hegelian dialectics, this project seeks to construct "constellations" of meaning across disparate domains of knowledge and practice.
Constellations of Meaning
The central thesis is that authentic transformation ("becoming") requires the dialectical negation of what currently "is" (being), creating momentary alignments (constellations) where past, present, and future illuminate each other in what Benjamin terms "monadic" moments.

⟡ Threads ⟡
Living dossiers that track struggles, study arcs, and regenerative experiments. Each thread braids political commitments, research notes, and journaling artifacts.

“The true picture of the past flits by. The past can be seized only as an image which flashes up at the instant when it can be recognized and is never seen again.” — Walter Benjamin
“The only historian capable of fanning the spark of hope in the past is the one who is firmly convinced that even the dead will not be safe from the enemy if he is victorious. And this enemy has never ceased to be victorious.” — Walter Benjamin
