Two men look at a picture. One says "I'm glad we're on the top layer of this this infinite recursion." The other says "yeah, that means we're the original versions of the guys in the picture." The picture they're looking at contains an image of them saying the above phrases and looking into a picture depicting them saying the above phrases on into infinity.

Alchemist machine
- Cy DeCosse
"Alchemist machine" - by Cy DeCosse. Black and white photo of a strange machine that looks like a cross between a coffee machine, a boiler (filled with nuts and bolts at the top) and a telephone with cogs, a tap and a kind of chimney from which smoke rises. There are alchemical characters on the dial. 1 small figure at the top and 3 more at the bottom of the tap also try to understand how it works ;)

"Far from the time, space, a man is lost,
Thin as a hair, ample as the morning,
The foaming nostrils, two eyes rolling
And his hands to feel the decor
- In fact nonexistent. But what, one might say,
The meaning of this metaphor :
” Thin as a hair, ample as the morning “.....

I fucking love women
Women's very existence is the disruption of the mythic order that estab- lished God in the first place. Women are positioned as the cause of all ills, including sin, severance from the Creator, and most importantly, death. Women become natural enemies of men because they resolutely embody nature itself. Women are not just seen as resisters to their roles, they are po- sitioned, like Lucifer himself, as existential rebels, ones whose transgressions set in motion the necessity for order and the resulting status of women within it. Addressing women, early Christian lawmaker Tertullian proclaims, You are the devil's gateway; you are the unsealer of that forbidden tree; You you are the first deserter of Divine law. "

October whispers Autumn's song in fogfilled treetops of golden ash, yellow walnut, fiery maple

All morning, I listen to this new song,
humming it's tune in harmony with the falling leaves

An old alchemist with a beard and glasses stands in his laboratory at a table with a large ball-shaped vessel and laboratory equipment. The medieval room with a window is filled with alchemical vessels and smoke and warm light. The picture is created with Ai from Midjourney.
