Cuzymoji
Cuzymoji
(noun) /ˈkʊzɪˌmoʊdʒi/
Definition:
A state or symbol of a heart that has turned away from truth and become closed off to guidance like an upside-down cup that cannot receive what is poured into it.
Etymology:
Derived from the imagery of “the heart like an upside-down cup” in classical wisdom and prophetic teachings; combines cuzy (from cup, turned) and moji (from Japanese 文字 moji, meaning “character” or “symbol”), suggesting both a concept and a symbolic expression.
Usage:
“He’s fallen into a Cuzymoji state nothing moves his heart anymore.”
“The story warns against becoming a Cuzymoji, a heart sealed from light.”
Extended Meaning:
A reminder that when trials and temptations are repeatedly accepted without reflection, the heart becomes darkened — unable to recognize truth, like a vessel overturned.
Flipped to Show the Scary Movie Face - After The Tsunami of Awesome
In a dream about a year ago, I glimpsed an artwork of mine, only to wake up and actually see it in the soft light of my room.
It felt like it had jumped from my dream into reality. Surprisingly, I found out it had a twin displayed in a library. A fact I hadn't known until I woke up.
This moment made me realize how shifting our perspective, like flipping a picture, can change how we see things, including my own art.
Turning the face from west to east, or the other way makes people also turn the picture, altering their view.
This picture is a flip to the left for The Tsunami of Awesome Has Come
What would a flip to the right look like?
Do we have to flip all pictures to see scary movie faces in them, or keep the happy landing view?
