There's a tendency for ideologies in Disco Elysium to veer off into esotericism. The Doomed Commercial District is suspected of being haunted by a ghost that wants commercial enterprise to fail (ultraliberal ghost story). The communist revolutionary students think that believing in communism hard enough will give you telepathy (inframaterialism). Centrism is a religion with a church dedicated to the worship Innocentic incarnations of history in human form. Cryptids are real. It seems like such a pointed writing decision and I can't make heads of why it's so consistently written that way except to say that it is, indeed, cool as hell

1: power and rest: power reminds us of our relationship with control, influence and ambition. it can either elevate us or enslave us, if we chase power out of fear or insecurity, it becomes a crutch rather than a tool. the oracle cards are asking you if you're planning on using your power to uplift or to dominate, if you are afraid of losing control or learning to wield influence wisely rest balances power since without intentional pauses, power burns out. this card calls out your hustle culture mentality, urging reflection. true power lies in knowing when to push forward and when to retreat. reframe rest as a necessary investment into yourself and your health rather than a delay and stop pushing yourself so hard please <3

2: everything and lucid dream: everything represents the womb-like safety of belonging, but also the need to individuate. psychologically, this speaks to identity formation. are you afraid of stepping outside the comfort of "everything" to become "someone"? the challenge is to remain connected while still carving out a unique path, something that lucid dreaming can help you achieve. interact more with your subconscious, you'll never know what might come out of it. journal about your dreams and reflect on what they say about your inner world.

3: there's a deep metamorphosis happening inside you right now, after a long fought battle. strength is not about avoiding pain but rather embracing it as part of your story, many people fear showing their wounds but in reality your scars are proof of your survival and ability to overcome what was unfortunately thrown at you. suppressing emotions doesn’t erase them, it only buries them deeper, making them harder to heal. by acknowledging your pain, you set an example of resilience, not weakness. like tattoos, scars tell a story, start owning yours. embody the new you.

as always, thank you so much for reading my loves, i hope this was helpful. <3
