CHAPTER TWO: On the Consumption of Souls

The human consciousness has no category for the sensation of external or alien thoughts. Any thought sensed by one's mind, therefore, always seems, to oneself, to be the product of one's own consciousness.

And since humans, as a race, are blind creatures, without self-comprehension, the Operator can introduce his own passions and thoughts into his victim's souls. The victim will assume all such thoughts are his own.

Any passion which directs the attention of the victim towards the Slayer whom we serve feeds and sustains the Great Ones, whom the Slayer serves. Of passions, fear is supreme. And the greatest fear is fear of the unknown..

For no human mind can ignore its own fear. Fear, once rooted in the victim-mind, always, even if only at a subconscious level, continues indefinitely.

Our race was chosen as a feed-animal because of our deep and lasting capacity for infinite fear.

The process of consumption is the process of turning the thoughts, each leading to the next, link by link, to the contemplation of infinite fear. Once perfect and eternal fear is achieved in the subject, then all the victim's thoughts, conscious and subconscious, are directed utterly at the object of his worship and terror. Cognition ceases. Limbs go numb. All action stops, for the victim has no spare brain activity left to tend to these matters. The mind, cut off from the body, paralyzed and helpless, continues to scream without pause for eternity, while the body remains as a comatose flesh-puppet useful for certain purposes of the Great Race.
