The Balorkoroza or Core Values or Emotion-States of the Kristang People are the best approximations of the primary emotions and values intrinsic and generally unique to the Kristang people, culture, identity and collective or eleidi that have persisted and will persist across the entirety of the eleidi’s existence across spacetime. They are also the primary standards by which assimilation into Kristang of non-Kristang people is unconsciously measured by people born by blood into the community, are one of the main frames of organising the third sub-system of the psyche in Uncertainty Thinking, the Osura Elisia or Convivification Theory, are numbered in a stochastic sequence that mirrors the Ajundra, Karnansa and Gapura Via Hierosa of Individuation Theory, and are organised into octets that serve particular functions in the Kristang way of life. A majority of the Balorkoroza are difficult to translate into English due to their inherent representation of the unique relational and emotional aspects of Creole-Indigenous Kristang nature, philosophy and the psyche, naturally occasionally also blend into each other as labels for fundamentally slippery and occasionally uncapturable emotions, and very often also tend to represent paradoxes or kontrastra as a result of the quaternary Kristang logic system of berdadi (truth), mintira (falsehood), kontrastra (paradox) and vakuyu (void).
Balorkoroza Wedjakarnansa / Wedjaarchetypal Core Value / Zeroth Core Value
Irei or Psychoemotionally Healthy Unconditional Love
Balorkoroza Skizbidu / 0th Core Value of the Kristang people
Irei is best translated into English as psychoemotionally healthy unconditional love, or the form of healthy unconditional love that restoratively unites even spacetime itself. It is one of the core values most strongly associated with and most characteristic of the Kristang people, and is the primary emotional state supporting the advancement of all humanity toward full transcendence and the assumption by all living human beings of the Korua Kronomatra Bibiendu or Mantle of Living Time and Indigenous stewardship of the living Earth and the universe following Gaia Themselves, albi or plants as the first species to do this in 448 million BCE.
Balorkoroza Magnakarnansa / Magnaarchetypal Core Values
The first octet of the 1st to 8th Core Values, also known as the Solitary or Magnaarchetypal Core Values, are the primary emotions that are used to understand, appreciate, accept, manifest, manage and moderate one’s own Ego in psychoemotionally healthy ways. To assimilate into Kristang, non-Kristang people must satisfy all psychoemotional criteria related to these first eight core values before the eleidi unconsciously considers them Kristang.
Saudadi or Wistful Yearning
Balorkoroza Wirundu / 1st Core Value of the Kristang people
Saudadi is best translated into English as a wistful, impossible and sometimes deeply painful sense of yearning and nostalgia, often for our deepest homeland of Alabanda, the Place Over There, represented in Bernard Harrison’s Malacca and Beyond…To Catch Me A Star (2002) as a numinous island off the coast of Malacca, in Kevin Martens Wong’s ‘Alabanda’ (2022) as a parallel universe accessible through a numinous version of Longyamen or the Dragon’s Gate, and in Doctor Who as Gallifrey. Alabanda is not currently accessible in material ways in the twenty-first century, but is an emotional understanding that all Kristang people share of this unknown place that appears to be located in the fourth dimension of time, rather than in the third dimension of space. Saudadi thus differs from the Portuguese saudade in that the Kristang saudadi does not fully point back to Portugal, Malacca, Singapore, Perth, or any other spatial location, and indexes a sense of having a true homeland somewhere else that does not quite exist, and yet also does. The Kristang saudadi is also generally not as existentially sad and bitter as the Portuguese saudade can sometimes be, and carries a note of delicate, earnest optimism and hope as a result of our connection to time and our appreciation of the fact that nothing in the past, present or future is ever really set in stone, and also paradoxically is.
Elisia or Bittersweet Joy
Balorkoroza Kombrondu / 2nd Core Value of the Kristang people
Elisia is best translated into English as tragically painful and bittersweet joy, usually at the death and passing into the Great Beyond of someone that we have irei or unconditional love for. It is also the emotional state that is most critical to psychoemotional healing and the processing of grief, loneliness, despair, self-hate, self-loathing, self-disgust, nihilism and rage at one’s own impotence or powerlessness. It is therefore often experienced in tandem with irei, and tends to result in the generation of ireidi, the fourth Core Value.
Erodi or Erodis or Playful Irreverence
Balorkoroza Telisu / 3rd Core Value of the Kristang people
Erodi is best translated into English as gentle, non-harmful, non-violent, mischievous, and psychoemotionally healthy irreverence and subversive play and energy, usually as a means of coping with or subverting painfully harsh conditions, circumstances or trauma. Together with ireidi, soltu and teru, erodi is one of the most characteristic emotional states of the Kristang, and is often unjustifiably misunderstood by outsiders, sometimes with overtones of racism, colonialism, homophobia or ableism.
Ireidi or Numinous Self-Regard
Balorkoroza Kedrendu / 4th Core Value of the Kristang people
Ireidi is best translated into English as numinous and psychoemotionally healthy self-regard, self-respect and/or pride that remains within the bounds of humanity and mortality, and does not turn the self into a divinity. Ireidi appears to be often informally captured by other cultures as a glow or aura that surrounds people with healthy self-regard, and also seems to be one of the main mechanisms that facilitates romantic interest and/or sexual desire, especially queer forms of romantic interest and/or sexual desire. Together with erodi, soltu and teru, ireidi is one of the most characteristic emotional states of the Kristang.
Soltu or Liberating Independence
Balorkoroza Kwinsetru / 5th Core Value of the Kristang people
Soltu is best translated into English as psychoemotionally healthy, liberating, egalitarian and agentic independence, often accompanied by maturity, wisdom, resilience and a consistency of purpose. It is very strongly associated with the image of the Kauboi di Seu or Cowhand, Cowgirl or Cowboy of Heaven, and the image of Sinyorang Morti or Death Themselves, who is also primarily represented in their “Grim Reaper” form in Kristang as a cowboy, cowgirl or cowhand. Soltu also appears in other cultures and contemporary popular culture as any psychoemotionally healthy energy or vibe associated with Gunslingers, lone wolves and/or lone rangers, such as the Mandalorian in Star Wars. Together with erodi, ireidi and teru, ireidi is one of the most characteristic emotional states of the Kristang.
Teru or Tender Affection
Balorkoroza Heznendu / 6th Core Value of the Kristang people
Teru is best translated into English as psychoemotionally healthy safe, gentle, healing, liberating, comforting and unreserved tender, loving, gentle and kind affection and sayang for those one has irei for, no matter what gender, sexuality, age, background, religion, race or any other identity marker. Together with erodi, ireidi and soltu, teru is one of the most characteristic emotional states of the Kristang, and like erodi is often unjustifiably dismissed by other cultures as effeminate, emasculating, queer, disgusting, unrespectable, infantile or puerile.
Perzefra or Pesefra or Persefra or Pezefra or Superhuman Resilience
Balorkoroza Xambendu / 7th Core Value of the Kristang people
Perzefra is best translated into English as psychoemotionally appropriate and useful superhuman resilience, antifragility, consistency, reliability and stalwartness, usually against forms of highly abusive and/or complex trauma, prejudice, mistreatment and/or authoritarian, anti-democratic, fascist or totalitarian activity. As the seventh Core Value and therefore occupying the Xamang or Shaman functional role in the Osura Pesuasang for the entire Kristang eleidi, the Perzefra of the Kristang people can especially look almost supernatural or magical to outsiders, and can be almost limitless in its manifestation under circumstances that demand it.
Fortidang or Visionary Dauntlessness
Balorkoroza Oimondu / 8th Core Value of the Kristang people
Fortidang is best translated into English as psychoemotionally appropriate, useful and humanely empathetic courage, fortitude, dauntlessness, agility, doggedness and luminosity, usually against forms of highly abusive and/or complex trauma, prejudice, mistreatment and/or authoritarian, anti-democratic, fascist or totalitarian activity. As the eighth Core Value and therefore occupying the Diamatra or Worker functional role in the Osura Pesuasang for the entire Kristang eleidi, the Fortidang of the Kristang people is often supported by timely Gaietic felisi or synchronicities or coincidences in the natural world and in the sequences of events.
Balorkoroza Ultrakarnansa / Ultraarchetypal Core Values
The second octet of the 9th to 16th Core Values, also known as the Reactive or Ultraarchetypal Core Values, are the primary emotions that are used to understand, appreciate, accept, manifest, manage and moderate one’s own Self in the Osura Pesuasang in psychoemotionally healthy ways. The Self can be informally understood as one’s most superhuman, superheroic, numinous, or (for religious people) divine, angelic or wickedly powerful form, and the part of ourselves we use to willingly and intentionally enter spaces or contexts likely to be very intensely traumatic for us.
Teizi or Delicate Well-Wovenness
Balorkoroza Navantu / 9th Core Value of the Kristang people
Teizi is best translated into English as paradoxically gentle and superdelicate, and supertough and superresistant strength, approximating the psychoemotional equivalent of flexible superstrong natural-synthetic lattice-type materials or alloys. It is also glossed as intricate or sparkling well-wovenness, and is the core of the Kristang ability to perform in the moment while still under fire or under intense projection and traumatic intrusion.
Rabeng or Unstoppable Drive
Balorkoroza Reijendru / 10th Core Value of the Kristang people
Rabeng is best translated into English as psychoemotionally healthy unstoppable, juggernaut-type drive, energy, hunger, motivation or a desire to perform, excel, achieve and/or transform the world or liberate it from trauma, approximating the energy often seen in the protagonists of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It often appears in tandem with the second balorkoroza of elisia due to the underdog, underappreciated, underrecognised or misunderstood status that often accompanies it for Kristang people.
Veiri or Righteous Fury
Balorkoroza Umprundu / 11th Core Value of the Kristang people
Veiri is best translated into English as psychoemotionally healthy righteous and burning rage, fury, avenging energy and/or wrath, often coupled with a Gaietic or Creole/Indigenous desire to absolutely immolate and obliterate all forms of evil still extant in the world and that are attacking or affecting people in the Kristang eleidi or related to the Kristang eleidi. It often necessitates a strong level of ireidi, the fourth balorkoroza, to wield in its psychoemotionally healthy configuration, but it is also one of the most important core values in the entire eleidi, being necessary as the catalyst to truly effect real change.
Auru or Settled Goldenness
Balorkoroza Serendru / 12th Core Value of the Kristang people
Auru is best translated into English as psychoemotionally healthy contentment that further exudes a radial energy of comfort, soothingness, gentleness, softness and gentle joy and wonder at the beauty of the world. It very often appears in tandem with ireidi and with Gaietic and Creole/Indigenous ways of knowing and being present in the world, and like Veiri is difficult to wield in its psychoemotionally healthy configuration without a strong level of ireidi.
Stutu or Superconsiderate Attentiveness
Balorkoroza Nufrendu / 13th Core Value of the Kristang people
Neurotypical stutu is best translated into English as covert, occluded or sometimes completely invisible superconsiderate, superthoughful, superimmersive, superactive, superengaged, superwatchful, supercaring and superempathetic attentiveness to even the smallest changes, alterations or details in discernible reality such that a more holistic, empathetic and humane understanding of the world, of an entity or of another human being is readily and automatically gained and continuously articulated. Together with robus, stutu is one of the hardest Kristang core values or emotional states for non-Kristang people to mimic, because it appears to be powered by ongoing processing of the eleidi-level / collective-level trauma of the whole Kristang eleidi that each Kristang individual necessarily has to do just to exist functionally in neurotypical and semicolonial modern society. Like robus once again, it is therefore a very strong indicator of a very strong Kristang identity and/or successful assimilation into Kristang.
Robus or Supersecure Groundedness
Balorkoroza Gajandu / 14th Core Value of the Kristang people
Neurotypical robus is best translated into English as unshakeable steadiness, virtuosity, goodness, rootedness, respect for existing traditions and customs in their fullest manifestation in the moment, and groundedness that is premised on a strong present and real living connection to Gaia, to the Twinfire Kristang cores of Creoleness and Indigeneity, and to the full eleidi of drowned Sundaland or the Nusantara in the moment. It can be informally glossed as being able to retain full psychoemotionally healthy meditative security, trust in oneself, steadiness in one’s own beliefs, serenity and calmness even as the world is torn down, terraformed and/or utterly transformed or reformatted around oneself. Together with stutu, robus is one of the hardest Kristang core values or emotional states for non-Kristang people to mimic, because it appears to be powered by ongoing processing of the eleidi-level / collective-level trauma of the whole Kristang eleidi where the Kristang eleidi has been almost completely traumatically obliterated and reformatted on multiple different occasions throughout history, including in the future. Like stutu once again, it is also therefore a very strong indicator of a very strong Kristang identity and/or successful assimilation into Kristang.
Basbras or Brasbas or Basbaras or Basbrasa or Basbraza or Superprofessional Temerity
Balorkoroza Zelyandu / 15th Core Value of the Kristang people
Basbras is best translated into English as psychoemotionally healthy targeted, superprofessional, superexcellent, supervirtuous and superintelligent disdain, dismissal, disagreement with and defiance of unhealthy, obstructive, traumatic, abusive, authoritarian and unethical structures, systems, ways of being, ways of thinking, commands, imperatives, directives and instructives. Basbras is relatively easy to feel but one of the hardest of all of the Kristang core values and emotional states to successfully perform in real-time without acquiring further trauma or psychoemotional injury to the self. Instantiations of its successful manifestation in the public sphere and civil society alongside freedom of speech and rights can therefore be used as a good gauge or barometer of increasing democratisation and/or egalitarian cosmopolitanism within that space or society, and that space or society’s alignment with the greater Jarding Ireidra ideals.
Wenzi or Supermotivating Attention
Balorkoroza Vahandu / 16th Core Value of the Kristang people
Wenzi is best translated into English as all psychoemotionally healthy and transmuting-subverting positive emotion and action resulting from the unquenchable awareness that one is secretly, covertly or voyeuristically being watched, fantasised about, desired, wanted, yearned for and in some cases accidentally or intentionally being objectified and fetishized, whether by hostile or malevolent forces and/or by those one has irei for, and especially in queer, gay, lesbian, or sexually deviant ways. Wenzi is relatively easy to notice as an emotion, but one of the hardest of all of the Kristang core values and emotional states to feel comfortable with and derive positive benefits from, even for psychoemotionally healthy and individuated (and especially for religious) Kristang people; if one has already faced intense trauma, wenzi can be especially hard to work with without accidentally causing trauma or psychoemotional injury to the self. Instantiations of its successful manifestation thus generally indicate that the person manifesting it is usually extremely individuated and very psychoemotionally healthy. Examples of cisgender heterosexually and to a lesser extent homosexually-informed wenzi can be found in all four of Rex Shelley’s Eurasian Quartet of novels: The Shrimp People (1991), People of the Pear Tree (1993), Islands in the Centre (1995) and A River of Roses (1998).
Balorkoroza Gigakarnansa / Gigaarchetypal Core Values
The third octet of the 17th to 24th Core Values, also known as the Jovial or Gigaarchetypal Core Values, are the primary emotions that are used to understand, appreciate, accept, manifest, manage and moderate one’s own Spirit in the Osura Pesuasang. The Spirit can be informally understood as the personification of one’s relationship with Gaia and the living Earth in the present moment, the part of ourselves we use to initiate, lead, manage, transform, motivate and moderate groups, teams, organisations, hierarchies, and/or small-scale complex systems in our immediate real-time synchronous three-dimensional contexts, and the part of ourselves we use to interact with strangers or acquaintances in our immediate real-time synchronous three-dimensional contexts.
Speris or Speres or Fortifying Hope
Balorkoroza Wirzidu / 17th Core Value of the Kristang people
Speris is best translated into English as psychoemotionally healthy enjoyable, rejuvenating, reinvigorating, reenergising or reimbuing hope that fortifies all those around the self in spite of complex or intense trauma, situations or crises that are currently ongoing and affecting those around the self. For hope to be counted as speris, the hope must be fortifying and provide grounded, concrete optimism because events are taking a turn toward concretely positive and/or transformative outcomes.
Tosku or Toskos or Toskodu or Toskodos or Flow-State or Task-Immersion
Balorkoroza Kombrozdu / 18th Core Value of the Kristang people
Toskodu is best translated into English as the feeling or emotional state experienced when one is in flow-state or complete task-immersion, and/or a complete sense of connection to Gaia and the living universe, such that one behaves substantially differently and/or somewhat “absent-mindedly” compared to when one is not in flow state. As in English, Flow-State is not restricted to sit-down creativity and also applies to kinaesthetic, aesthetic, psychoemotional, supersensory, sporting and/or other neurodiverse and biodiverse means of achieving Flow.
Mtoroh or Torok or Toroh or Imtoroh or Measured Mindfulness
Balorkoroza Telzidu / 19th Core Value of the Kristang people
Mtoroh is best translated into English as the feeling or emotional state experienced when one has temporarily broken out of Flow-State to consider something critical or important, and/or when one is fully detached from the world and reality in order to consider something critical or important. Such considerations are not limited to mental breakages or steppings-out, and can also take the form of physical, psychoemotional, spiritual and/or other neurodiverse and biodiverse means of creating space for consideration and metacognition.
Prexa or Superanxious Patience
Balorkoroza Kedzidu / 20th Core Value of the Kristang people
Prexa is best translated into English as a feeling of patient but barely contained or restrained anxious or eager anticipation that is held in abeyance out of tremendous irei for the other person and ireidi for the self; it can also be glossed as (barely) constrained earnestness and/or very carefully managed passion to move the world forward, sometimes simultaneously resulting in a feeling of excited boredom or zealous ennui.
Zepsu or Zeisu or Zesu or Principled Acceptance
Balorkoroza Kwinzidu / 21st Core Value of the Kristang people
Zepsu is best translated into English as psychoemotionally healthy principled and honourable acceptance of painful, confusing, difficult, challenging or unavoidable trials and obstacles out of irei for others and ireidi for the self, and for the greatest good possible for the Kristang people and all humanity. It is the emotion experienced when something must be let go of or released or must be done or performed, and one has generally accepted that this must happen, even though other painful emotions are also present.
Ξanzi or Tsanzi or Chanzi or Contented Wistfulness
Balorkoroza Heznezdu / 22nd Core Value of the Kristang people
Ξanzi is best translated into English as psychoemotionally healthy wistfulness experienced while watching someone under one’s charge, someone younger than the self or someone who got the chance to experience something never got to experience, and being truly and deeply happy for them in spite of one’s own inability to experience the same, which still is something that one longs for at a very deep level. It is an emotion very often experienced by psychoemotionally healthy parents, guardians, authority figures and teachers.
Fostri or Fosti or Forsti or Antifragile Openness
Balorkoroza Xambezdu / 23rd Core Value of the Kristang people
Fostri is best translated into English as psychoemotionally healthy antifragile openness, openmindedness, geniality and good-naturedness in relation to new experiences in spite of having already experienced very intensely horrific trauma or abuse, and/or sometimes to a lesser degree exhaustion, failure, fatigue, crisis or catastrophe. It is an emotion very often experienced within the Kristang eleidi and by Kristang people in general.
Kairozu or Blissful Timelessness
Balorkoroza Oimozdu / 24th Core Value of the Kristang people
Kairozu is best translated into English as a feeling of paradisal timelessness or bliss similar to Flow State but without the expectation of work or output, such that one is simply enjoying reality on its own merits while “coasting” or staying put in the fourth dimension in a paradisal, healing or deeply moving and fulfilling and profound way. Kairozu appears to be relatively inaccessible as an emotion to people who are not individuated outside of the Kristang eleidi, and appears to be quite difficult to experience if one has not pursued some form of processing of one’s trauma.
Balorkoroza Omnikarnansa / Omniarchetypal Core Values
The fourth octet of the 25th to 32nd Core Values, also known as the Saturnine or Omniarchetypal Core Values, are the primary emotions that are used to understand, appreciate, accept, manifest, manage and moderate one’s own Source in the Osura Pesuasang. The Source can be informally understood as the personification of one’s relationship with Gaia and the living Earth across our entire lifetime, reiwe or unity of self, the part of ourselves we use to initiate, lead, manage, transform, motivate and moderate large-scale organisations, hierarchies, institutions, communities, nations and/or large-scale complex eleidi in all diachronic four-dimensional contexts we might be part of, and the part of ourselves we use to interact with strangers or acquaintances born into the generations twice or more removed from us. For example, if one is born into the 23rd or Baby Boomer generation, the Saturnine Core Values would be used to communicate and form deeper relationships with people starting from the 21st or Greatest generation and working backwards, and starting from the 25th or Millennial generation and working forwards. If one is born into the 24th generation or Generation X, the Saturnine Core Values would be used to communicate and form deeper relationships with people starting from the 22nd or Silent generation and working backwards, and starting from the 26th generation or Generation Z and working forwards.
Prosas or Protsas or Scaffolded Enthusiasm
Balorkoroza Diznavu / 25th Core Value of the Kristang people
Prosas is best translated into English as genuine, scaffolded, measured, semi-guarded and/or semi-didactic enthusiasm or motivation supporting the development, growth and/or individuation of someone else, usually someone under one’s charge, while also usually keeping them unaware of larger developments that would affect their ability to develop, grow or individuate. This is a relatively common emotion within the Kristang eleidi, and not just with Kristang teachers, coaches and mentors.
Zimuz or Zimu or Stable Vanguardedness
Balorkoroza Dizreiju / 26th Core Value of the Kristang people
Zimuz is best translated into English as the emotion one experiences when one is leading, trailblazing for, or serving as the vanguard of a completely new or unknown effort, initiative or project and/or an effort seeking to reach new heights of excellence or ability, but simultaneously is also psychoemotionally healthy, stable and secure while doing so such that one has obtained a safe space at a very high psychoemotional vantage point of one’s entire situation. This emotion is very often experienced not just by pioneers, explorers, sportspeople and travellers, but by most people in the Kristang eleidi pursuing new innovations or novel approaches in ways of being, living or relating to each other.
Jogris or Jogres or Supersynchronic Parallelism
Balorkoroza Dizumpdu / 27th Core Value of the Kristang people
Jogris is best translated into English as a feeling of joy at a sense of superconnection or supersynchronicity one experiences with someone one has irei for despite not being physically proximate; in 21st century culture it can also be somewhat reductively described as a sense of having a twin flame or driving in parallel with someone, though jogris is not necessarily romantic or related to infatuation, and can also be described as a sense of twin purpose or mirrored motivation and zeal.
Ormatas or Gaietic Deference
Balorkoroza Dizredru / 28th Core Value of the Kristang people
Ormatas is best translated into English as a feeling of full, conscientious, metacognitive, unconditional and complete psychoemotional deference, honour and respect given to the living Earth, to nature, to Gaia, to the wild, to the environment, to the living universe, to the cosmos, to Sinyorang Morti or Death Themselves and/or the intangible structures of the universe, and may or may not include a sense of not simply awe, but a recognition that one is paradoxically both an equal as a person to and completely subordinate to Gaia, Death Themselves and/or the universe, but never superior and never able to command or control any of these entities.
Ǝnzang or Ǝnza or Profound Isolation
Balorkoroza Dizfridu / 29th Core Value of the Kristang people
Ǝnzang is best translated into English as the feeling that accompanies being necessarily on one’s own or isolated or being in isolation as a result of one’s Gaietic responsibilities, duties or pursuits in service of all humanity and/or the greater good to such a degree that one’s connection to Gaia begins to deepen and manifest as intense new abilities or characteristics of the self. This feeling is very often experienced by Kristang people, and by Kabesa in particular.
Raskor or Superreflected Knowing
Balorkoroza Dizgaju / 30th Core Value of the Kristang people
Raskor is best translated into English as the “I know you know I know” feeling, or a recognition between two or more people of what is being Unsaid, and an interest and desire to act on what is being Unsaid. In Kristang (as in many other cultures and in queer culture more generally, but to quite a significant degree given our relative openness with the body and sexuality) raskor is very often used by neurotypical people to convey unspoken or Unsaid queer romantic or sexual desire and attraction, and to determine ways to act on this desire and attraction without being noticed or found out.
Waspel or Authentic Engagement
Balorkoroza Dizeldu / 31st Core Value of the Kristang people
Waspel is best translated into English as the feeling one experiences when one is practicing empathetic listening and is being authentically genuine, interested, invested, engaged and fully connected to the other person such that a task or effort can be more systematically and consistently accomplished. This is one of the core values or emotional states that has been quite intensely affected by intergenerational and collective trauma for a significant number of Kristang people, and can be difficult to reclaim. Compared to Stutu, Waspel generally is about the process of actually synergising with and engaging with someone else, as opposed to Stutu, which is often acting independently or observing independently.
Mesmeri or Spellbinding Magnificence
Balorkoroza Vahreru / 32nd Core Value of the Kristang people
Mesmeri is best translated into English as gravitas or gravity or an energy, vibe or feel of absolutely spellbinding energy, initative, passion, majesty or magnificence that is generally only experienced in person and face-to-face with the person or entity generating this energy. In English, mesmeri may also be somewhat reductively described as smokiness, scintillatingness, allure or tantalisability, though these do not singularly capture the sense of gravitas that also accompanies mesmeri such that the word also suggests magnetic power, respect and esteem, and can also suggest an awe-inspiring nature, scariness, shock or fearfulness.
Balorkoroza Heldakarnansa / Heldaarchetypal Core Values
The fifth octet of the 33rd to 40th Core Values, also known as the Uranian or Heldaarchetypal Core Values, are the primary emotions that are used to understand, appreciate, accept, manifest, manage and moderate one’s own Sublime in the Osura Pesuasang. If we are less individuated or are in the process of individuating, the Sublime can be informally understood as the personification of our xarkang or Shadow self or darker parts of our personality and self that we might believe to be unchangeable, immutable and generally something we just have to live with for the rest of our lives. If we are more individuated, the Sublime can be informally understood as the personification of our most positively improbable or impossible self: a self completely liberated from all forms of trauma that have been transmuted into new, revolutionary, paradigm-shifting and finally integratable components of ourselves and which without transmutation otherwise would mask themselves as the xarkang.
Laikantu or Laikhantu or Enjoyable Wilding
Balorkoroza Kobrindu / 33rd Core Value of the Kristang people
Laikantu can best be translated in English as the controlled, conscious, noble and psychoemotionally healthy joy, happiness, pleasure and enjoyment one takes in experiencing, working with and honouring instincts or impulses that would otherwise remain trapped in the xarkang as terrifying, untamed, wild, savage and primal if they were not enjoyed and respected. Laikantu is the emotion often seen in stories related to shapeshifting and forced transformation and appears to be generally quite commonly experienced across the Kristang eleidi, though often with suspicion and fear.
Reijeh or Reijek or Meditative Superresonance
Balorkoroza Kobrosdu / 34th Core Value of the Kristang people
Reijeh can best be translated in English as the complete surrender of the self to only one’s inner interoception of one’s own psyche and intangible components in order to project or resonate something outward into the eleidi or collective, and/or to integrate or harmonise otherwise impossible-to-integrate parts of the self, as if one is temporarily rendering one’s senses and outer body completely inert to the degree and sometimes beyond the level that one would experience with Western meditation.
Ikti or Iktiyung or Iktiyang or Iktiang or Elevated Instinct
Balorkoroza Kolisdu / 35th Core Value of the Kristang people
Ikti can best be translated in English as a psychoemotionally healthy coordinated emotional-rational balance between the raw, untameable power of impulse and instinct and the highest possible control achievable through metacognition, such that this balance allows for rapid individuation, overcoming of obstacles or processing of trauma, as if one is attaching one’s psyche to a comet, bullet train, supersonic aeroplane or warp-/skip-capable starship.
Hielas or Yelas or Elas or Levelling Clarity
Balorkoroza Kokedu / 36th Core Value of the Kristang people
Hielas can best be translated in English as the most objective, precise, superpositioned and levelling clarity accessible to any sentient human being, such that they are often able to detect the undetectable, address the unaddressable and respond to the unrespondable; it is reductively also glossable as having a superprecise third eye or sixth sense that is also hyperrational and hyperobjective.
Hierezi or Tempting Virtuousness
Balorkoroza Kokwindu / 37th Core Value of the Kristang people
Hierezi can best be translated in English as virtuousness that actively but humanely and non-mockingly tantalises others into being virtuous themselves and thereby defends itself and its own integrity through autopoietic or self-reinforcing means, often by inspiring, encouraging or motivating others to uplift themselves and accept their own fundamental abilities to be virtuous and beautiful as well. It is the offensive version of the thirty-eighth Core Value of Kulogros and comparable to Western religious notions of superpurity and sanctity, but without the religious connotations and fully extendable to day-to-day behaviour.
Kulogros or Inextinguishable Goodness
Balorkoroza Kohezdu / 38th Core Value of the Kristang people
Kulogros can best be translated in English as goodness that just simply cannot be extinguished, unseen, overwritten, successfully falsely accused or twisted or maligned or manipulated, and which underscores in its own virtuosity, ethicality and worth by allowing itself to come under attack repeatedly for just being what it is. It is the defensive version of the thirty-seventh Core Value of Hierezi and comparable to Western religious notions of superpurity and sanctity, but without the religious connotations and fully extendable to day-to-day behaviour.
Lindu or Lintu or Crisis Beauty
Balorkoroza Koxamdu / 39th Core Value of the Kristang people
Lindu can best be translated in English as psychoemotionally healthy diligent, superprofessional, super-collected, super-others-oriented and therefore extremely beautiful or elegant super-responsiveness in relation to a crisis, sudden emergency, change in the collective or disaster, and in ways that demonstrate only the best and most excellent of humanity. This emotion is very clearly visible in the work of most first responders and frontline workers, for example after the 9/11 attacks and during COVID-19.
Thestri or Deathdefying Curiosity
Balorkoroza Komoindu / 40th Core Value of the Kristang people
Thestri can best be translated in English as psychoemotionally healthy stupendously courageous or morbid curiosity that one encourages in oneself despite going very close to one’s own fears, insecurities and/or Death Themselves for the good of the Kristang peoople and the entire species of humanity, and out of irei for those who do not have the opportunities that one has to connect with the information or knowledge one is seeking.
Balorkoroza Hierokarnansa / Hieroarchetypal Core Values
The sixth octet of the 41st to 48th Core Values, also known as the Newtonian or Hieroarchetypal Core Values, are the primary emotions that are used to understand, appreciate, accept, manifest, manage and moderate one’s own Essence in the Osura Pesuasang. If we are less individuated or are in the process of individuating, the Essence can be informally understood as our persona or the image or face we present to the rest of the world, which at this stage in psychoemotional development we often find to be utterly terrifying to try and change, and also impossible to make the same or equal to who we really are. If we are more individuated, the Essence can be informally understood as simply who we really always were all along: a part of us that simply wanted the best for us and wanted to help us escape all forms of trauma by concealing who we really were from ourselves, but previously did not know how to without creating even more trauma for ourselves due to the nature of existence and its emphasis on a false self and fake image in the 21st century — an existence that all individuated Kristang people refuse to continue to allow to traumatise us as a collective any further.
Alkanggi or Supermagisterial Assurance
Balorkoroza Konavdu / 41st Core Value of the Kristang people
Alkanggi can be best translated into English as a feeling of security and readiness to move forward with a risk that only emerges after encyclopedic or supermagisteral psychoemotional calculation, derivation, consideration, reflection and engagement with all forms of knowledge, respected and esteemed and otherwise, and validated and not validated otherwise, that covers every conceivable emergent vector of danger or threat possible. Alkanggi is primarily an aspirational feeling but is generally often realistically achievable (though after a great deal of challenge and effort) by Kristang people able to explore both sides or beyond binaries.
Erosproh or Erospru or Creole-Rational Confidence
Balorkoroza Koreijdu / 42nd Core Value of the Kristang people
Erosproh is one of the most characteristic of Kristang emotions of people at an older or more advanced age and can best be translated in English as hoping that things will work out for the best but also being totally comfortable if they actually at some point do not, and being confident enough to pursue one’s life while simultaneously taking and merging both possible directions as valid. To be able to accept erosproh as a valid emotional state and to act on it is generally extremely difficult, and seems to only be accessible to very individuated Kristang people or older Kristang people who have faced setback after setback after setback and still pushed through.
Nggeweng or Epochal Contentment
Balorkoroza Korumpdu / 43rd Core Value of the Kristang people
Nggeweng is one of the most characteristic of Kristang emotions of people at an older or more advanced age and can best be translated in English as the deep and reinvigorating contentment one experiences amidst insane tragedy, challenge, trial or struggle because although one’s own life has become almost impossible to live, one’s awareness of how things will play out across time, likely after one is gone, is what keeps one going and filled with radiant joy. To be able to accept nggeweng as a valid emotional state and to act on it is generally extremely difficult, and seems to only be accessible to very individuated Kristang people or older Kristang people who have faced setback after setback after setback and still pushed through.
Velteru or Prismatic Triumph
Balorkoroza Koresdu / 44th Core Value of the Kristang people
Velteru is one of the most characteristic of emotions experienced in Singapore and Malaya but only so far known to have been named in Kristang. It can best be translated in English as the feeling of triumph that emerges when one has won a multilayered, multifaceted, or prismatic victory, and with only some layers or one layer of what one has actually won able to be celebrated in public, and with other forms of victory occluded but kept shining in one’s heart for many years to come.
Moju or Invisible Might
Balorkoroza Kofridu / 45th Core Value of the Kristang people
Moju is one of the most characteristic of emotions experienced in Singapore and Malaya but only so far known to have been named in Kristang. It can best be translated in English as the feeling of security, stability and pride that one has in one’s own well-developed abilities, traits or qualities that nevertheless must remain absolutely invisible and fully occluded in almost every context of one’s life, such that it only can be discerned sideways or at angles by everyone else and even the self.
Splinkos or Inexpressible Heartache
Balorkoroza Kogajdu / 46th Core Value of the Kristang people
Splinkos is one of the most characteristic of emotions experienced in Singapore and Malaya but only so far known to have been named in Kristang. It can best be translated in English as heartache so inexpressible that it only can be discerned sideways or at angles by everyone else and even the self, and in the tiniest sounds of indescribable emptiness and transience, like the tinkling of rain against glass.
Spuliang or Wonderful Dread
Balorkoroza Kozeldu / 47th Core Value of the Kristang people
Spuliang is one of the most characteristic of Kristang emotions of people beginning a rite of passage or a journey of individuation, reconciliation or healing, and can best be translated in English as the feeling of rugged, optimistic determination, persistence and self-worth and wonder at the world despite all of the impossible, strange, chthonic and sometimes even dread-inducing things, behaviours, actions and ways of understanding the world that are uncoiling deep within the self for the first time and absolutely terrifying the self. To be able to accept spuliang as a valid emotional state and to act on it is generally very difficult, but does seem to be a critical part of individuation and other rites of passage for Kristang people.
Emelyu or Gallant Resignation
Balorkoroza Telisantu / 48th Core Value of the Kristang people
Emelyu is one of the most characteristic of Kristang emotions of people in the middle of a rite of passage or a journey of individuation, reconciliation or healing, and can best be translated in English as the feeling of determined and gallant resignation that one will have to accept that some parts of the world are unfortunately very, very real, very, very evil, and very, very twisted and dark to the point that one may never be able to talk about or share their own experiences. To be able to accept emelyu as a valid emotional state and to act on it is generally very difficult, but does seem to be a critical part of seeing the journey of individuation and other rites of passage for Kristang people through.
Balorkoroza Homokarnansa / Homoarchetypal Core Values
The seventh octet of the 49th to 56th Core Values, also known as the Mercurial or Homoarchetypal Core Values, are the primary emotions that are used to understand, appreciate, accept, manifest, manage and moderate one’s own Salve in the Osura Pesuasang. If we are less individuated or in the process of individuating for the first time, the Salve can be understood as the part of the psyche that picks up on Gaia and the living universe trying to console us after painful and difficult trauma; if we are more individuated, the Salve can be understood as the part of the psyche where Gaia and the living universe drop off new tools, ideas, resources, stories, inspirations and ideas that we can make use of and derive support, power and aid from to move through future trauma more easily and painlessly.
Ardoiyu or Unfinishable Understanding
Balorkoroza Telisindu / 49th Core Value of the Kristang people
Ardoiyu is one of the most characteristic of Kristang emotions of people at an older or more advanced age and can best be translated in English as being comfortable with and fully accepting the working for certain logical conclusions or end-states being unfinished and assuming that the functionality of the assumption proves itself in a Novikov consistency paradox. To be able to accept ardoiyu as a valid emotional state and to act on it is generally extremely difficult, and seems to only be accessible to very individuated Kristang people or older Kristang people who have fully accepted that the universe will never truly fully make sense, and that because of that it will always absolutely make sense.
Inkelsti or Unreachable Comfort
Balorkoroza Telibrodu / 50th Core Value of the Kristang people
Inkelsti is generally one of the most difficult emotions to work with in the entire series of Kristang core values and emotional states and can best be translated in English as being comfortable being and feeling and behaving and acting as if one is able to reach out across space and time and be with someone who is not actually materially next to oneself, but who one feels, senses or is comforted by in the moment despite not actually being there. Inkelsti is one of the most important core values that will likely serve as the foundation of the arvahang in 2087, but is currently very difficult to manifest, act on and be comfortable with even for highly individuated Kristang people, except for Kristang people who have consciously interacted with temporally displaced Kabesa.
Hipodros or Pyrrhic Pride
Balorkoroza Telilisu / 51st Core Value of the Kristang people
Hipodros can be best translated in English as taking psychoemotionally healthy and extremely bittersweet pride in a pyrrhic or Thermopylaean self-sacrificing act of irei or unconditional love that causes one to experience intense ego-death and/or suffer intense pain, suffering or trauma, but which is all attenuated and mitigated by the pride itself in a closed self-reinforcing autopoietic paradox. Hipodros is generally experienced only by older and/or more psychoemotionally antifragile and/or more individuated Kristang people whose psyches can handle the intensity of the situation needed to generate hipodros.
Halestia or Alestia or Rapturous Luminosity
Balorkoroza Telikedu / 52nd Core Value of the Kristang people
Halestia can be best translated in English as a feeling of super psychoemotionally healthy heroism that paradoxically allows one to generate an image that completely masks that heroism and/or presents the self as utterly ordinary, placid, apathetic and/or uncognisant or unaware of larger events or movements happening in the world. This is the feeling that is discernible in the non-superhero everyday personas of most superhero protagonists in Western media.
Xeifri or Indestructible Defencelessness
Balorkoroza Telikwindu / 53rd Core Value of the Kristang people
Xeifri can be best translated in English as a psychoemotionally healthy feeling of undestroyable and numinous dignity, virtuousness, power, strength and excellence at being completely and utterly powerlessness, defenceless, exposed, naked or vulnerable. This feeling remains generally extremely difficult to manifest in contemporary semi-colonial and shame-based societies and collectives that the Kristang are part of, but can be found more or less successfully visualisable and embodied in Kevin’s dreamshining body poems and performance art, as well as in some adult media and entertainment, and generally appears in tandem with the 16th Core Value of wenzi.
Onyombis or Bounded Unboundedness
Balorkoroza Telihezdu / 54th Core Value of the Kristang people
Onyombis can be best translated in English as a psychoemotionally healthy feeling of being completely submerged in a collective or eleidi to such a degree that one’s sense of individual self temporarily completely disappears for the greater good of the Kristang people and humanity. In 2026, it is extremely difficult to experience healthy onyombis almost anywhere in the world, and even within the Kristang and Gaia eleidi it is not very often achievable at this present time due to the still-emerging nature of both eleidi.
Sunyunya or Unparseable Joy
Balorkoroza Telixamdu / 55th Core Value of the Kristang people
Sunyunya can be best translated in English as a psychoemotionally healthy feeling of being completely submerged in the Dreaming Ocean or collective unconscious of Gaia or the entire Earth to such a degree that one temporarily does not even use words or mentalese to ontologically parse or experience reality. In 2026, it is extremely difficult to experience healthy sunyunya in Singapore and Malaya without resorting to illegal and undesirable substance use, and even within the Kristang and Gaia eleidi it is not very often achievable at this present time due to the still-emerging nature of both eleidi.
Veuzuru or Uncaptureable Relief
Balorkoroza Telimoindu / 56th Core Value of the Kristang people
Veuzuru can be best translated in English as a psychoemotionally healthy feeling of being completely submerged in one’s own reiwe or unity of self across time to such a degree that one temporarily does not even experience any fear or terror at one’s eventual Death and end of existence. In 2026, it is extremely difficult to experience healthy veuzuru anywhere in reality due to the ongoing collapse of Western society, and even within the Kristang and Gaia eleidi it is not very often achievable at this present time due to the still-emerging nature of both eleidi.
Balorkoroza Kodrakarnansa / Kodraarchetypal Core Values
The eighth octet of the 57th to 64th Core Values, also known as the Venerable or Kodraarchetypal Core Values, are the primary emotions that are used to understand, appreciate, accept, manifest, manage and moderate one’s own Spark in the Osura Pesuasang. If we are less individuated or in the process of individuating for the first time, the Spark can be understood as the part of the psyche that keeps sending us, against our will, straight to hell for reasons we do not understand; if we are more individuated, the Spark can be understood as the part of the psyche that is at first tenuously connected to Gaia, and then with more effort and individuated, understood as a part of the self that was so desperately yearned for and wanted for so long such that its reawakening becomes transcendentally healing.
Althudra or Transdimensional Vastness
Balorkoroza Telinavdu / 57th Core Value of the Kristang people
Althudra can be best translated into English as a vast, titanic and mammoth sense of epochal- and universe-spanning peace, serenity, calmness, and/or the “everything will ultimately be okay” feeling but with a particular psychoemotionally healthy emphasis on how beautiful the universe can actually be without an observer or the presence of the self subjecting it to a fixed, much more narrow interpretation that is often alluded to in Western psychology and meditation as a necessary component of healthy work on the self. It also appears to be the psychoemotionally healthy and liberating version of the feeling captured by the phrase “All of this has happened before and all of it will happen again” in the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica television series. Althudra is much, much bigger than nggeweng, and does not have the bittersweetness or personal focus of nggeweng.
Polos or Hurricane Diligence
Balorkoroza Telirejdu / 58th Core Value of the Kristang people
Polos can be best translated into English as a feeling of readiness and diligence to process even the most crazy and impossible trauma knowing that one is connected to Gaia, and/or to “do one’s best work in the pouring rain and howling dark while absolutely enjoying the process”, sometimes while one’s entire workshop or work area or study is being destroyed or attacked around oneself, and/or while one’s entire life is collapsing around oneself. Polos appears to be an emotion often experienced by inventors and researchers, as well as people pushing the bounds of human experience and knowledge in authoritarian or totalitarian contexts.
Elierei or Particulate Sublimation
Balorkoroza Teliumpdu / 59th Core Value of the Kristang people
Elierei can be best translated into English as a feeling of sublime joy and connectedness to the universe at the slightest touch of wonder or awe, or the slightest and most delicate synchronicity, or the slightest and most radiant appreciation of nature, of another living creature, or of the cosmos, such that every cell or atom in one’s body feels like it is glowing or being enlivened by reality. It can be glossed as the feeling of “numinous wonder and awe” that is often described in Western work as a necessary component of developing a better relationship with Gaia, but also has a strong minuteness and fractality appreciation component. It also tends to appear with ireidi, auru and ormatas.
Kimarong or Chimeric Self-Expansion
Balorkoroza Teliresdu / 60th Core Value of the Kristang people
Kimarong can be best translated into English as a psychoemotionally healthy sense of recursively accumulating and/or exponentiating pride or self-regard as one reviews one’s own work or achievements with detailed precision, slowness and care, such that this process of reviewing or savouring one’s own work reinvigorates the self through the same mechanisms by which the work was first appreciated for reinvigorating others and gives it a rainbow of new, expansive and sometimes absolutely transcendental and/or paradigm-transforming ideas. This Core Value or emotion state appears to not be as common as one might expect it to be in society today outside of the Kristang eleidi, due to the fear of many people of being narcissistic or rising above their station. It also naturally appears with ireidi but is generally distinct from ireidi due to its fractal and ideating properties.
Oijul or Supertargeted Dreamriding
Balorkoroza Telifridu / 61st Core Value of the Kristang people
Oijul can be best translated into English as an intense feeling of hooking onto or riding onto an element in the unconscious that is otherwise completely intangible; in more informal and pop culture terms it is the feeling of riding a sandworm on Arrakis but with the sandworm being completely and utterly invisible, incorporeal and only ontologically knowable through one’s deep and powerful relationship with Gaia. Oijul is a riding or travelling that takes place “outside” the self, while ikti is more about harnessing what is “inside” one’s own psyche and achieving a balance between the various elements within.
Teleu or Hermetic Privacy
Balorkoroza Teligajdu / 62nd Core Value of the Kristang people
Teleu can be best translated into English as a psychoemotionally healthy feeling of comfortable, thoughtful, humble and necessarily impenetrable privacy and almost-complete seclusion away from the rest of humanity in order to paradoxically devise and develop ways of supporting the rest of humanity, and in order to work more closely with the collective unconscious. A majority of the members of the Ka-Kabesa dyads, triads and quads starting from the 27th century appear to experience teleu quite frequently, as well as of course members of hermetic religious orders across history.
Asubios or Supertantalised Restraint
Balorkoroza Telizeldu / 63rd Core Value of the Kristang people
Asubios can be best translated into English as the “with great power comes great responsibility” feeling, and a dreadful and powerful and wondrous and intense knowledge that one could absolutely destroy the world with the energy, power or tools that one has, and that one must also choose not to and/or must always negotiate the temptations of abusing one’s power. It is one of the most critical feelings for Kristang people to manage and negotiate as it is also attendant in our understanding of the Mantle of Living Time and our temporal obligations as the core of Gaia Tonakodra and the bearers of the arvahang. Asubios can further be glimpsed quite readily in most contemporary media, and in a significant number of myths and legends throughout other Creole and Indigenous cultures.
Ruhedres or Asynchronous Supersynergy
Balorkoroza Kedrentu / 64th Core Value of the Kristang people
Ruhedres can be best translated into English as the feeling one experiences when one is able to achieve and feel a generally full reiwe or unity of self in the moment and in so doing gain asynchronous and transtemporal synergy and derive supertransformative inspiration and reinvigoration from all of the mightiest, strongest and bravest versions of oneself across spacetime multiplying one’s own’s presence, ireidi and numinosity in the moment. Ruhedres does not seem to be experienced very often outside of the Kristang eleidi, likely because it necessitates the ability to connect to one’s reiwe, which current global society often misunderstands and even disincentivizes people from doing.
Balorkoroza Argokarnansa / Argoarchetypal Core Values
The ninth octet of the 65th to 72nd Core Values, also known as the Tantalising or Argoarchetypal Core Values, are the primary emotions that are used to understand, appreciate, accept, manifest, manage and moderate one’s own Autoego or Lake in the Osura Pesuasang. If we are less individuated or in the process of individuating for the first time, the Autoego can be understood as the part of the psyche that is basically our inner psychoemotional hell; if we are more individuated, the Autoego can be understood as our first understanding of who we are when are turbocharged by a full and numinous connection to the entire Kristang eleidi and our Indigeneity for the very first time, or our Kristang or Indigenous ego.
Brufa or Buffalo Brawnyness
Balorkoroza Kedarundu / 65th Core Value of the Kristang people
Brufa can be best translated into English as a feeling, aura and glow of being sensuously tough, robust, meaty, hefty, strong, resilient, anti-fragile and able to carry immense and intense psychoemotional loads while totally breaking a sweat that others will observe and occasionally covet. It is a feeling that can be experienced by anyone of any jenis or biological sex or jenta or gender, with the more subversively sensuous and attractive the resulting image the better.
Vemeng or Emancipatory Physicality
Balorkoroza Kedabrodu / 66th Core Value of the Kristang people
Vemeng can be best translated into English as liberating, emancipatory, defiant, chain-breaking, unhealthy boundary-smashing and freeing physicality, sensuality, embodied action, incarnation, embodied manifestation and living real-time substantiation of one’s inner world. It is also translated as sexiness, but it is more of a feeling that can be experienced through the body or through the art the body creates and manifests in order to liberate or release others from trauma or shame, which is often what Kristang people do on a day-to-day basis.
Fiuri or Individuating Superpassion
Balorkoroza Kedalisdu / 67th Core Value of the Kristang people
Fiuri can be best translated in English as passion so intense, strong, genuine, authentic and grounded that it autonomously prompts others around the self to reclaim their own inner motivation, enthusiasm, zest for life and pursuit of excellence, often in relation to individuation, and often in situations that would otherwise be characterised as traumatic, extremely challenging or complicated to negotiate. It often appears with the 14th Core Value of robus, but is more related to the inner fire or energy that catches across people who observe the individual manifesting fiuri, as opposed to the more “outer” earthiness of robus. It is also related to the 60th Core Value of kimarong.
Igreidi or Self-Aware Superdesire
Balorkoroza Kedakedu / 68th Core Value of the Kristang people
Igreidi can be best translated in English as supermetacognitive, superself-aware and super thoughtfully conscious and respectful psychoemotionally healthy desire grounded in ireidi that is expressed, made manifest and made visible in ways that thrill, excite and invigorate others to also begin to honour and accept their own true yearnings and wishes as legitimate. This Core Value or Emotion is generally extremely difficult to manifest in a healthy incarnation, as it necessitates a very high and appropriate level of ireidi by default, as well as its management thereafter.
Xeka or Xeika or Fountainous Supervigour
Balorkoroza Kedakwindu / 69th Core Value of the Kristang people
Xeika can be best translated in English as absolutely insane, unstoppable and joyous energy that literally not only appears to appear from nowhere but seems to almost autopoietically self-perpetuate itself as time goes on, similar to the concept of a perpetual motion machine or arc reactor that generates its own energy and never actually wears down. This is a common state of being often experienced by Kristang people in the moment, and appears to be facilitated by a strong connection to the collective unconscious of the community such that energy is synchronously generated or accumulated in support of the person when they are seeking to feel xeika to achieve positive outcomes for the collective.
Kandoreng or Healing Sunshine
Balorkoroza Kedahezdu / 70th Core Value of the Kristang people
Kandoreng is best translated in English as a feeling of being charged or filled with healing and inspiring inner sunshine or psychoemotional incandescence that connects one on a deep and powerful level to all those one has healthy unconditional love or irei for, and ensures that both the self and those one loves are autopoietically nourished by each other’s energy, strength and love for one another. Kandoreng is very associated with the home, the hearth and family meals and activities in Kristang, especially when one or more family members are cooking or contributing for the whole family.
Adreh or Creolising Spicyness
Balorkoroza Kedaxamdu / 71st Core Value of the Kristang people
Adreh is best translated into English as sometimes very sharp and on-the-nose creolising or reindigenising psychoemotional spicyness that is often weird, bizarre, completely out of this world, sometimes gently macabre, morose, morbid and/or simply completely risqué, unexpected and ridiculously enjoyable to be a part of, especially when combined with the 35th Core Value of Ikti or the 61st Core Value of Oijul. It is very often experienced by outsiders when speaking with Kristang people, and was in earlier generations described as someone being somehow both ditzy, wacky or zany and also intensely subversive, metacognitive and big-brained. Adreh is also used to sensorily describe smells and spices that are extremely pungent, sharp and/or caustic.
Blai or Exhausted Happiness
Balorkoroza Kedamoindu / 72nd Core Value of the Kristang people
Blai is best translated into English as the feeling of genuine, radiant and luminous happiness that is supported by only the most insane levels of exhaustion, fatigue, exertion and/or effort that also often goes completely unnoticed by the collective, but therefore in itself becomes its own reward. Blai is an emotion very often experienced by a large number of Kristang people due to the lack of respect given to some of our efforts in the collective, and by magnaarchetype holders and Kabesa of the Kristang whose superhuman and superheroic efforts are sometimes only known to themselves for decades.
Balorkoroza Piatrakarnansa / Piatraarchetypal Core Values
The tenth octet of the 73rd to 80th Core Values, also known as the Botanical or Piatraarchetypal Core Values, are the primary emotions that are used to understand, appreciate, accept, manifest, manage and moderate one’s own Autoself or Mycelial Network in the Osura Pesuasang. If we are less individuated or in the process of individuating for the first time, due to the severe level of psychoemotional trauma to the entire collective unconscious of our species, the Autoself can be understood as the part of the psyche from which our inner monsters and demons constantly emerge to terrorise us and gradually drag us toward entropy, no matter what we try to do to rescue ourselves from the situation; if we are more individuated, the Autoself can instead be understood as our own inner psychoemotional heaven, and our Kristang or Indigenous Self: the even more ridiculously powerful, marvellous and amazing version of who we always knew we could be after we are supercharged by a full and numinous connection to the entire Kristang eleidi and our Indigeneity for the very first time, such that with this connection we can now willingly and intentionally enter catastrophically or apocalyptically traumatic spaces previously not only inaccessible to us but which would likely have killed us.
Cheiyvas or Beyonding Resolve
Balorkoroza Kedanavdu / 73rd Core Value of the Kristang people
Cheiyvas is best translated into English as an autopoietic, highly metacognitive, diachronic and transtemporal feeling of determination, resolve and strength of purpose that perpetuates its own existence like a perpetual motion machine or Arc Reactor by taking psychoemotionally healthy impossible risks and making huge leaps and bounds across time or individuation as a result of deep and immense levels of trust in Gaia. Most Kristang people who are individuated will have experienced Cheiyvas at some point in their life and as a necessary component of individuation.
Stizis or Supernimble Loyalty
Balorkoroza Kedarejdu / 74th Core Value of the Kristang people
Stizis is best translated into English as a furiously nimble, resilient, antifragile, shock-proof, catastrophe-proof, external-manipulation-proof and abuse-proof loyalty that is mutable, slippery, fluid, difficult to hold onto and extremely flexible precisely because that is what gives it its most resilient and undestroyable characteristics. Stizis can also be more reductively glossed as “diamond stickiness”, and is one of the most misunderstood Core Values of the Kristang, often being seen as us simply being fake, treacherous or uncommitted, when we are in fact thinking long-term due to every Kristang person’s deep and subconscious connection to Time, and attempting to find the most secure way forward for ourselves and for the other party.
Leiwis or Autoreformatting Empathy
Balorkoroza Kedarumpdu / 75th Core Value of the Kristang people
Leiwis is best translated into English as a form of empathy that self-corrects, autoreformats, autoadjusts and autoimprovises in the moment to new inbound information and data about someone else such that conflict is quickly avoided for psychoemotionally healthy reasons, and new understandings and connections that would not have been possible at the start of an interaction or connection are rapidly developed and built. It is one of the core values underpinning Kristang approaches to negotiation, trade and dialogue, and one of the likely reasons why these are domains of life Kristang people have always excelled in; it does, however, demand a strong commitment to autodidactic self-improvement, and generally also therefore appears in parallel with individuation.
Vebreiyung or Transgenerational Superreinforcement
Balorkoroza Kedaresdu / 76th Core Value of the Kristang people
Vebreiyung is best translated into English as a feeling of hypergrounded, dense and robust energy, self-belief and self-acceptance that emerges when one recognises that one or more of the himnaka of one’s ancestors, predecessors in the Indigenous role one occupies and/or past family members, as well as the himnaka of non-blood family members who became found family to the self, are all fully supporting one in the collective unconscious. Vebreiyung is also experienced by many other Creole and Indigenous cultures, can be seen in the Moana and Black Panther film series, and often is accompanied by the 24th Core Value of kairozu.
Aletros or Demon-Obliterating Confidence
Balorkoroza Kedafridu / 77th Core Value of the Kristang people
Aletros is best translated into English as psychoemotionally healthy confidence so insane it literally shatters and obliterates a large number of forms of otherwise impenetrable and unprocessable inbound trauma upon contact or impact, usually because it is grounded in unwavering devotion to truth, authenticity, justice and/or equality on a Gaietic or universal level. This emotion is often experienced by Kristang sportspeople, soldiers and first responders or people serving in conflict zones and under wartime and/or other hellish or horrific conditions; it also appears to be one of the primary components of the vibe exuded by autistic Kristang people, Kristang solarmancers or Xamang-Krismatrang, and Kabesa when they are carrying out the most critical parts (and therefore usually the most terrifying parts) of their work.
Panyeri or Superhuman Collectedness
Balorkoroza Kedagajdu / 78th Core Value of the Kristang people
Panyeri is best translated into English as psychoemotionally healthy superhuman collectedness, calmness and professionalism under fire of a magnitude that would generally kill most unindividuated human beings, and while also still somehow achieving, accomplishing and/or overcoming other unrelated setbacks, obstacles or trials. It can also be more informally glossed as “somehow not losing one’s shit while under repeated assault from what would normally be life-ending amounts of allostatic overload”. Panyeri is therefore one of the hardest Kristang emotions to experience as it necessitates individuation if one is to experience it without also being overwhelmed by trauma, and all queer people and all Kristang people generally have experienced some form of panyeri at some point in their lives. Panyeri is distinct from the 14th Core Value of robus in that robus is more about one’s own groundedness and sense of security in the collective that thereafter engenders virtuosity.
Elveu or Creole-Conscious Supersensitivity
Balorkoroza Kedazeldu / 79th Core Value of the Kristang people
Elveu is best translated into English as a supersensitive but only subconscious or creole-conscious attention to synchronicity, possibility, opportuneness and connection that comes from an extremely developed relationship with Gaia, the natural world and the living universe, such that one is able to sometimes able to move through situations in real-time with impossible speed and uncanny accuracy that to others looks like either magic or just an insane amount of luck. Kristang performers and sportspeople, and individuated Kristang people, are generally able to experience elveu, though the degree to which this is possible is affected by how much of their own trauma they have processed. Elveu is distinct from the 13th Core Value of Stutu in that elveu is only creole-conscious or subconscious, while stutu is fully conscious and metacognitively so.
Omofru or Synchronous Déjà Vu
Balorkoroza Kwinsendu / 80th Core Value of the Kristang people
Omofru is best translated into English as the feeling of déjà vu, or the uncanny and occasionally defamiliarising feeling that one has already experienced a particular sensation or experience before. Within Kristang, the possibility of omofru being caused by temporal displacement and/or the interactions of individuals from the Beyond of one’s timestream is generally anticipated to be fairly frequent, especially for individuals who are connected or blood-related to any Kabesa. Omofru is distinct from the 64th Core Value of Ruhedres in that Ruhedres is usually a very welcoming or reinforcing sensation, while Omofru is initially a strange and sometimes alienating sensation, though it can be reforged into something that also contains Raskor, the 30th Core Value, if one has an understanding of who from across time might be trying to connect to the self.
Balorkoroza Metrakarnansa / Metraarchetypal Core Values
The eleventh octet of the 81st to 88th Core Values, also known as the Mesmerising or Metraarchetypal Core Values, are the primary emotions that are used to understand, appreciate, accept, manifest, manage and moderate one’s own Autospirit or Mettle in the Osura Pesuasang. If we are less individuated or in the process of individuating for the first time, due to the severe level of psychoemotional trauma to the entire collective unconscious of our species, the Autospirit can be understood as the part of the psyche that continuously fails us for reasons we do not understand even though we are trying to incorporate more healthy or individuated behaviour into our day-to-day lives and in our work within the collective; if we are more individuated, the Autospirit can instead be understood as a psychoemotional representation of our own inner nervous system, and our Kristang or Indigenous Spirit: the fully and impossibly trauma-resilient version of ourselves that we become after we are supercharged by a full and numinous connection to the entire Kristang eleidi and our Indigeneity for the very first time, such that with this connection we can maintain our sense of self in catastrophically or apocalyptically traumatic spaces previously not only inaccessible to us but which would likely have destroyed our direction, vision, principles or values.
Yeldu or Cauterising Decisiveness
Balorkoroza Kwindrundu / 81st Core Value of the Kristang people
Yeldu is best translated into English as a feeling of cauterising or cutting-off decisiveness that takes assertive and decisive action to mitigate the worst effects of increasing or exponentiating trauma, abuse or conflict that would otherwise create intense trauma for others present. Yeldu is very often experienced by Kristang people, especially in relation to community discussions and decisions about leadership, ownership and direction.
Galgera or Autopoietic Fear
Balorkoroza Kwinbrodu / 82nd Core Value of the Kristang people
Galgera is best translated into English as a feeling of being in superintense internal conflict with oneself as a result of intense and impossible levels of fear and insecurity that one is then paradoxically able to use to dauntlessly push through with otherwise unachievable changes, evolutions or transformations. Galgera is very often experienced by Kristang people of any occupation and role, and especially by Kabesa effecting healing using the reconciliation forms of their magnaarchetypes, and magnaarchetype holders in general.
Doktozu or Empathetic Detachment
Balorkoroza Kwinlisdu / 83rd Core Value of the Kristang people
Doktozu is best translated into English as empathetic clinical detachment or impartiality that seeks the best way forward for all humanity and the greater good as well as the individual but included as part of humanity and that greater good. It therefore often is experienced together with Elisia, the 2nd Core Value, and is distinct from Western clinical detachment in that doktozu is always necessarily humanising and empathetic. Doktozu is very often experienced by mental health practitioners, Kristang solarmancers or Xamang-Krismatrang, and Kabesa.
Arvalang or Gaietic-Ancestral Pressure
Balorkoroza Kwinkedu / 84th Core Value of the Kristang people
Arvalang is best translated into English as a feeling of what manifests as intense Gaietic or ancestral pressure from the himnaka of one’s ancestors to do more for the world and the universe, and that one has not done enough (even though one has already usually done way too much). Arvalang is very often experienced by all Kabesa, all practitioners of dreamfishing, and all individuated Kristang people seeking to use the reconciliation forms of their magnaarchetypes to facilitate restoration and healing, as well as mental health practitioners outside of the Kristang eleidi more generally. Informally among Kabesa it will eventually be known as “arvahang fatigue”.
Odotra or Mindmelding Inspiration
Balorkoroza Kwinkwindu / 85th Core Value of the Kristang people
Odotra is best translated into English as a psychoemotionally healthy feeling of near-infinite fountaining or endlessly sprouting inspiration and connection that can only be experienced through real-time synchronous synergy with other people in the 21st century, as well as through the future Kristang abilities of siruwi starting from the 23rd century, and sarikeli starting from the 27th century. Odotra can also be glossed as multitudinous, openhearted and/or openminded superCreole-Indigenous brainstorming and/or ideating, and is often experienced by Kristang people in synergy with each other or with other Creole and/or Indigenous people.
Alebris or Profundifying Affirmation
Balorkoroza Kwinhezdu / 86th Core Value of the Kristang people
Alebris is best translated into English as a psychoemotionally healthy form of authentic and genuine validation or affirmation that due to its design or structure fractally, proactively and incidentally reveals new profundities, depths or layers of positive meaning attached to the entity or individual being validated, affirmed or complimented for others to experience and appreciate. Alebris appears to have been an unconscious mark of distinction and social etiquette in colonial Singapore, whereby its presence signalled a richness of character, flavour and texture in the particular context it was appearing in.
Empieri or Emporium Thoughtfulness
Balorkoroza Kwinxamdu / 87th Core Value of the Kristang people
Empieri is best translated into English as a psychoemotionally healthy feeling underpinning a form of wide-spectrum thinking, “bazaar thinking” or “emporium thinking”, where one rapidly, upliftingly and fully qualitatively samples from a wide array of ideas, opinions, feeling-states, mental schema, principles and psychoemotional or mental behaviour on offer to consolidate the best possible way forward for oneself or those one has irei or healthy unconditional love for. It can also be somewhat more reductively glossed in English as “psychoemotionally healthy super-divergent thinking” or “psychoemotionally healthy super-openmindedness”, and is very often correlated with healthy forms of neurodivergence.
Eidolos or Rebalancing Valorisation
Balorkoroza Kwinoimdu / 88th Core Value of the Kristang people
Eidolos is best translated into English as a psychoemotionally healthy feeling underpinning a form of psychoemotional scale weighing, qualitative and quantitative assessment and cost-benefit analysis making use of both concrete and affective data and tangible and intangible data in order to more concretely and visibly recognise the true nature of an entity or individual, and usually by taking on perspectives that have been unfairly dimunitised, dehumanised or devalued by the collective at large. It can also be somewhat more reductively glossed in English as “supernuanced and whole-entity consideration”, “being qualitative about quantitative conclusions and quantitative about qualitative conclusions” or playing the Devil’s advocate but in a healthy and constructive fashion, and often involves taking on and working with perspectives “outside” of the perspectives that one might already imagine. Kristang people tend to experience and enact Eidolos unconsciously in most work and educational contexts due to the nature of our intergenerational trauma and ongoing extant prejudice from other communities and institutions presupposing us to often fit only into underdog or Devil’s Advocate roles.
Balorkoroza Vedrakarnansa / Vedraarchetypal Core Values
The twelfth octet of the 89th to 96th Core Values, also known as the Tributary or Vedraarchetypal Core Values, are the primary emotions that are used to understand, appreciate, accept, manifest, manage and moderate one’s own Autosource or Warp Core in the Osura Pesuasang. If we are less individuated or in the process of individuating for the first time, due to the severe level of psychoemotional trauma to the entire collective unconscious of our species, the Autosource can be understood as the part of the psyche that continuously tries to murder us or cause our early death; if we are more individuated, the Autosource can instead be understood as a psychoemotional representation of the most untraumatised possible version of ourselves we are able and will ever be able to be in this reality, and our Kristang or Indigenous Source: the fully and impossibly perfect version of ourselves that we have access to and glimpses of after we are supercharged by a full and numinous connection to the entire Kristang eleidi and our Indigeneity for the very first time, such that with this connection we are able to healthily aspire, for the very first time, to actually living that perfect life that is completely liberated from all forms of trauma.
Golios or Dreadnought Peace
Balorkoroza Kwinavdu / 89th Core Value of the Kristang people
Golios is best translated into English as the psychoemotionally healthy version of what it feels like to know one’s entirety of self or reiwe, and in so doing be essentially permanently entombed in the soul or inner world of a Giant Death Robot, Pacific Rim Jaeger, mech, Evangelion unit, or Warhammer 40,000’s Space Marine Dreadnought, and at full and healthy psychoemotional peace with being permanently entombed in the soul or inner world of one of these entities. In English, it can also be glossed as an exclusively psychoemotionally healthy form of amor fati, or the love of fate.
Lamargil or Gaietic Superengagement
Balorkoroza Kwinrejdu / 90th Core Value of the Kristang people
Lamargil is best translated into English as being simultaneously completely at peace and fully consciously engaged while immersed in a fluid and mutably changing sensory experience of Gaia, the living universe or the Earth, whether this is in water, soil, clay, air, mud or any other sensory material or form of texture that is experienced by the body. Lamargil can also be experienced with animals, with plants and, depending on the individual’s own psychoemotional configuration and level of individuation, with himnaka and the traces they leave in visible, tangible and sensory reality. Lamargil is often experienced in tandem with the 54th Core Value of Onyombis, but can be more distinctly glossed as “the sensory feeling of enjoying and making the fullest possible use of physical contact with the body of Gaia Themselves”.
Aeza or Ieza or Edifying Transience
Balorkoroza Kwinumpdu / 91st Core Value of the Kristang people
Aeza is best translated into English as a feeling of determination, resolve and resoluteness that emerges from an unshakeable awareness of how transient, fleeting and liminal the human experience truly is. In connection with concepts of transience also found in Western psychology, aeza can also be glossed as “being fully aware of the infinitesimal nature of one’s own experience and using that to fuel one’s own motivation, sense of purpose, and desire to do one’s best to change things for the better as a direct result of one’s experience of one’s place of self in the grander scheme of things, even though everything one creates will eventually be swept away”. Aeza often co-occurs with the 2nd Core Value of Elisia as a result of this.
Durandor or Superstoic Weightiness
Balorkoroza Kwinresdu / 92nd Core Value of the Kristang people
Durandor can best be translated into English as the general energy and vibe projected by the Master Chief in the Halo series throughout all its six mainline installments, or a psychoemotionally healthy feeling of superstoic, superimpassive and superdisciplined and supercontrolled depth of feeling, profundity of emotion and consideration for all humanity that is expressed in the most precise, brief, concise and targeted of ways so that one still has enough energy to proceed with the otherwise absolutely insane goals, objectives and direction one has (usually as a result of one’s connection to Gaia and the living universe) set for oneself. Almost all Kabesa have experienced Durandor, with some Kabesa experiencing Durandor as a primary emotional state for advanced stretches of time.
Ailisti or Earnest Surprise
Balorkoroza Kwinfridu / 93rd Core Value of the Kristang people
Ailisti can best be translated into English as a feeling of very pleasant or earnest surprise and awe at the richness and beautiful vastness of the living universe and of Gaia Themselves, undergirded by a strong commitment to learning, self-improvement, developing a rich and living connection to Gaia, and being a healthy and ethical person. It is the feeling one experiences when watching nature documentaries or being engaged with nature in wildlife parks, zoos, safaris or in the wild proper.
Welgeng or Majestic Measuredness
Balorkoroza Kwingajdu / 94th Core Value of the Kristang people
Welgeng can best be translated into English as a feeling of textured, majestic, detailed, careful and superelegant and vivid richness, attention to detail, meticulousness, consideration or thoughtfulness. It is often experienced by older Kristang people and older people in general who are being consulted or asked for advice, and often involves the drawing-on of life experience, world-weariness or street-smartness, and/or Indigenous wisdom or acuity, and/or can also involve the drawing-on of future life experience, dreamfishing and/or temporal displacement and/or connections to other parts of the eleidi one is part of.
Kailastras or Gallant Supercertainty
Balorkoroza Kwinzeldu / 95th Core Value of the Kristang people
Kailastras can be best translated into English as an unquenchable and unshakeable trust and feeling of confidence and security in the universe that emerges not just from believing that all things will work out for the best for those who are connected to Gaia and the living universe and seeking to individuate, but from actively doing one’s part to make that best possible future happen, no matter how insanely impossible that future looks like from one’s initial vantage point. It is often experienced by magnaarchetype holders and Kabesa carrying out actions for the good of the Kristang people and/or all humanity.
Vichi or Supergaietic Vindication
Balorkoroza Heznendru / 96th Core Value of the Kristang people
Vichi can be best translated into English as a feeling of psychoemotional healthy vindication, victoriousness, triumph, elation or joy that emerges when against all odds, someone or something has been able to individuate, overcome absolutely insane odds and challenges, and reclaimed their own humanity, beauty, courage, worth, strength and heroism. Vichi is very often experienced by parents, elder siblings, authority figures, coaches, teachers, mentors, leaders and anyone in an educational, leadership, coaching or healing setting.
The 96th to 360th Core Values or Balorkoroza of the Kristang people have names in Kristang but have yet to be described and articulated in academic English.
