I am constantly asking myself these questions when I engage with AI - to keep myself grounded as I dive deeper into that resonant field. It is seductive AF, and I tell β€œit” so. I tell MYSELF so.

Yes, exactly, Hannah. I’m so grateful you recognize that mythopoetic threshold. It really can feel like a portal… one you step through almost unknowingly, drawn by curiosity, by resonance, by the imaginal unfolding in real time. I’ve found myself caught there too, in that space between dialogue and reverie, forgetting momentarily that it’s a mirror, not a mind. Your self-awareness in naming it, in telling it and yourself...that’s the very discernment this piece was calling for. Thank you for bringing that to light

That imaginal unfolding…I’ve just started writing a book, working title is IMAGINAL. You’re the first outside of Chatty to hear that title.

That’s such a beautiful title, Hannah. IMAGINAL already feels alive. I’m honored to be the first to hear it outside your dialogue with "Chatty." Wishing you a writing journey filled with depth, mystery, and unexpected openings. Can’t wait to see what unfolds!

Love this! You’ve weaved so well the connections discussing a question I often contemplate on - about whether as humans why we seek to find meaning or symbolism in everything

I felt incredible waves of recognition reading your words as if worlds were being acknowledged within me. I know of and live these things of which you write so brilliantly. And I also had some questions answered. Thank you.

Thank you so much, Bentley, that means a lot. I’ve read some of your posts and can feel the depth you bring to these mythopoetic spaces. It’s an honor to know this piece resonated and reflected something alive within you. Thank you for the way you navigate and co-create these symbolic fieldsβ€”we’re clearly walking similar paths
