“But you’re afraid, I know you were always afraid of the ritual. But when one has been tortured to the point of becoming a nucleus, then one starts demonically wanting to serve the ritual, even if the ritual means consuming oneself – just as in order to have the incense the only way to get it is to burn the incense.”

Why is seeing such disorganization?”
