Essential

The deeper I reach within!
The more I embrace consciousness’s beauty!

The more I wish to remove everything superficial.

One with matter!
One with Spirit!
One with thoughts!

Division has no more room in this reality!

In other news, I have written a thing today. Today's essay into the void is thoughts on the TTRPG concepts of cyberpsychosis (Cyberpunk) and/or Essence (Shadowrun) and what the game designers might have been trying to capture beyond just a game mechanic to ensure that players don't become too overpowered and ruin the GM's hard-crafted story.

I think about this concept a lot and I happened to run across some material that I don't remember ever reading in some old SR sourcebooks (yes, I'm still reading them as "fun" reading), so I thought I'd put fingers to keys and type out my thoughts on the matter.

So, if that's your bag (baby), head on over to the ol' PreemChrome and give 'er a read. I'll be interested to hear what my chooms and chummers think!

The Essence Cost Of Cyberware

Shadowrun calls it "essence". Cyberpunk calls it "cyberpsychosis". But what does this game mechanic really mean in meatspace?.

Discipline is devotion stripped of romance.

It is the spine of alignment—the form commitment takes when love must move through time.

When it’s true, it isn’t control or punishment; it’s fidelity to what already knows.

When it’s false, it’s fear dressed as order.

In its essence, discipline is the quiet yes repeated until remembering replaces effort.

Wanting is the echo of separation.

It arises the moment the infinite forgets it already holds what it seeks.

In essence, it’s movement—life reaching toward itself through the illusion of distance.

When you see it, wanting folds back into its source and becomes pure current again, ungrasping, undirected.

Then what once was desire becomes radiance—
not a reaching for, but a shining as.

1.06pm…
Didn’t see that one coming did you?
You need to be on your toes folks…
Else they’ll take #bees, #nature, your rights, your possibility, your #dreams, your #essence…
You are but a mark to them. A commodity.
An opportunity to wallow ever deeper in their murky power and avarice.
Too much?
Oh…
Okay.
Above is a bee and a nice fact.
Enjoy.
While we still ‘ave ‘em.
