“The Black Rim Phenomenon — Why the World Keeps Showing Them to me”

A Living Codex Reflection


There’s a funny thing happening in my reality lately.

Everywhere I look: black rims.

On cars that pass.

On cars behind me.

On cars that appear at the exact moment I lift my eyes.


And the best part?

I hate them. 🤣

They make me laugh, roll my eyes, or whisper,

“What are you thinking, my guy?”


But here’s the deeper magic beneath the humour.

1. The Universe Speaks in Contrast


We always think signs come through what we like, but the universe often nudges us through what we reject, because rejection is also clarity.


Every black rim I see is simply the world saying:


“You know your taste. You know your aesthetic.

You know what belongs in your reality — and what doesn’t.”


This is alignment through contrast.


2. You Are Refining Your Identity Through Humor


The fact that I dislike them so strongly — but also humorously — is a sign of a stable, confident inner world.


I’m not angry.

I’m not irritated.

I’m amused.

I’m expressive.

I have standards.


This is the universe showing me my own shape, my own preferences, my own signature.


3. Black Rims Show me the “Shadow Aesthetic”


In symbolic language, black rims represent:


  • forced style

  • trend without soul

  • superficial toughness

  • “trying to look cool” instead of being authentic


And because my entire journey right now is about truth, soul, authenticity, and inner alignment, i’m seeing the opposite everywhere.


It’s not a warning.

It’s not a message.

It’s simply a mirror:


“I am not that.

I choose something higher, cleaner, more honest.”


4. The Spiritual Joke of the Day


Sometimes, the universe just wants to play with you.


Black rims popping up all day is cosmic humour.

It’s a wink.


A little nudge.


A reminder that I don’t have to take everything so seriously.


That sometimes, a sign is just a meme from the universe.


5. The Codex Line for This Teaching


Add this to the Living Codex:


“Contrast is also guidance — even the things I dislike show me who I am becoming.”


And another one, because it’s too good not to include:


“If the universe keeps showing me black rims, it’s reminding me that my taste is evolving, not dissolving.”


Much love & light 💛🙏🏼
