"Esper of the Essence"
So let me clarify why that is powerful as a phrase
An esper is attempting to relay a signal...a signal that changes reality.
An esper is a person who
-has exceptional influence on key ideas
and human themes,
-whose symbolic systems are not only personal, but also represent global attitudes and core conflicts. I might need to explain this more...
I have a colored animal that has always been special to me , and I know what it represents symbolically, so when it appears in my life it has a direct and obvious message I can interpret. But if I'm an esper, I may start to notice the colored animal I've coded to myself is appearing far more often and far more obviously than it ever did in the past.
If I was an esper, then I might say, there is a core theme of this particular symbolic entity which relates strongly to me, but also ENCAPSULATES a specific COLLECTIVE sentiment. In the case of the colored animal, as an esper, the more closely I have specified myself in the symbol, the more I will be able to act as an agent in changing the persistent symbolic messaging implied by the colored animal when it does explicitly appear. I can also, if I have a lot of control over the symbol (I really feel I "own" this particular symbol, for example) I can change the direction a story takes when it foreshadows or follows an aesthetic related to the symbol. I can make projections about people who are sensitive to the symbol...
another,
-whose insights make inroads into what people tend to conceptualize
....lets say you have an esper, of no particular renown, with this idea about uncertainty in the quantum sense and the dual particle/wave structure of light is a solid philosophical premise for the fundamental reality of consciousness. this idea is really rare and not well known, and the esper writes about it but sees from site analytics only a dozen or two read what they've written in the day to day world.
....soon, though, the idea seems to be spontaneously accessible to people that have never interacted with the esper before. it's not because they are listening to the things the esper wrote or copying them, they have independantly reached the same conclusion.
....basically the idea is that the difference between the esper having this insight and anyone else having this insight is the degree of accessibility others will have in reaching the same insight.
....
When roads in the psyche are well tread, the brain has a very easy time accessing the road and sending information along it. this is true for anything we do, think, or say. repeated elicitation makes neurological impressions.
But I propose IDEAS also do this, and the more active they are in many people, the closer to conscious space these ideas stay.
....
Simultaneous scientific breakthrough is relatively common, because humanity collectively reaches milestones in knowledge for many people to put together the puzzle at different times.
A "Born" idea has an attraction field, so even the conception of a potential leaves breadcumbs to a fully realized form, to someone, somewhere.
And the ESPERS ideas are probably going to be noticed faster and in more contexts than with an average observer.
I guess you might call this "rapid prescience."
The quality of prophecy or precognition is universally accepted in the esper scheme, although we haven't had a true prophet in over a thousand years. All poets and most dreams are fully capable of being precognitive, but the prophetic esper is speaking with a very consistent and intentional authority which I've yet to encounter in the sense I intend....
So now that we get what an esper sort of does, let me say why and esper of the essence is important...
sigils and symbols can be thought to be the most concise, the most precise, and the most fundamental components of any idea or emotivity. This is all without unnecessarily constraining an idea, because that might close its future potential to elicit accurate intuitions. We have a lot of dead words and symbols now because they were sealed off too tightly in dogmatic reverence. This is true of religion AND science.
for gematria to have value beyond a tool of schizophrenic hyperassociation, as a tool that actually shows structural similarity in the characteristics of the expression, a word or phrase has a natural sweet spot where adding or removing any letters, prefixes, or changing conjugation could only detract from the expression of the essence.
when it works it will do so obviously and demonstrate impossibly unlikely "coincidence"; spontaneously linking exact phrases with one another, matching the numerical values of expressions exactly within a short period of time through only intuition...
thats ONE of MANY ways you could make gematria quite useful. even if you get nothing out of it but a very qualified system of association, it is generally good for showing you, based on the results, how high your agreement is with the ESSENCE of the Expression.
If an idea is linguistically essential , it will be very obvious after review if the word's essence was ringing church bells or dingy dinner bells.
To the system of an Esper who names Essences, distillation of symbols and names are valuable substrates to parse
The better fitted and more obvious a symbol is to fit its system of representation, the more nuanced and meaningfully it will transmit itself among individuals.
Last note about an esper, and an esper sensitive to an essence. the fact that the internal world of the esper influences people collectively, might be because the reverse is exceedingly true.
A person who has a lot of feedback to collective feelings and symbols is going to recreate or emulate that feedback so it can be individually processed...this might restructure it, but the transformation of a collective essence into a highly personal one is a hugely significant alchemical act of integration.
All of these desrcriptions have been nibbling at a far broader and more vague transmissions of sentiment. The important part is that a symbol isn't something you put in the platonic garden and admire, a functional symbol is an actionable dialogue between essence and identity - collective or personal.
