Chapter 196: Rituals
When many people mention Fengshen, they think, wow, it's so high-end.
In fact, the high-end is not God, or the high-end is not only God, but also the human heart.
There is a related saying in the East, in fact, 'God' has been explained very thoroughly: if you believe, you will have, and if you don't believe, you will not.
From ancient times to the present, both in the East and the West, there have been god-making movements, and its external characteristics may be the image of a prophet wearing a white bubble, or the image of a monk in a robe, or the image of a leader of the people, these are not important, what matters is the core concept - if things are left to him, it will be done.
In other words, a successful leader can become a god to be worshipped if he goes a little too far with the propaganda package.
Of course, with the enlightenment of people's wisdom, ordinary people's vision and knowledge reserves are getting higher and higher, and they are not so easy to fool. It is better to believe in God than in yourself, there has never been a savior, and so on.
Is there a god at all?
Kane's perception is that there can be.
It's all about how people understand it.
For a group of primitive tribesmen, an engineering student with explosive hands-on ability can be a god of craftsmen. There's nothing wrong with using 'God' to highlight its powerful and mysterious features.
A materialistic modern human being who recognizes natural science will inevitably admit that there are still too many phenomena in this world and this universe that human beings cannot understand their essence, and there are too many knowledge and technologies to be discovered, and even the knowledge that has been mastered is not immutable, but is constantly being revised.
So, if modern man is positioned as a primitive savage, is there such a high-quality engineering student?
Yes, there can be.
The multiverse achieves this difference.
Phenomena and things that have this temporary inanalyzable characteristic that separates them from each other are called transcendental.
For the reincarnators of the Vientiane Gate system, 'transcendence' is such a concept, a universal cognition. Magic is the science of energy, the transcendent is attributed to the natural science, and God is a relative concept, an intelligent being who has mastered high-end technology.
It is worth mentioning that this is an interpretive idea of 'God', which is not absolutely correct or unique, but has a corresponding 'need'.
For the reincarnators, it is necessary to give the 'god' a position from the perspective of hierarchy to evaluate, judge, and compare the details, because the reincarnation is a climber driven by the death whip of the Vientiane Gate system, and the peak of strength is not the highest, only higher, and all the wisdom existence with independent consciousness must be quantified in this system, and its position should be marked, and if it is strong to a certain extent, it can be called 'god'.
It is precisely because of the distinctive characteristics of grade marking that gods are different from gods, and there are specific types and levels.
High Frey is a relatively low-grade kind, both in terms of type and level, but there is one good thing - the divine flame of the One God.
When it comes to the flame of divinity, it is impossible not to talk about its source, the tinder.
Tinder is a resource, and how it is generated belongs to the mysteries of the universe, Kane does not know, he just knows that among the elements that promote its generation, there must be a soul.
The deepest deconstruction of it by the reincarnation is the genetic genetics of the spiritual orientation.
That is to say, fire does have inheritance and nurturing properties.
Since it can be cultivated, there is a possibility of growing crooked. Of course, this definition of "crooked" is defined from the perspective of people's view of things, and objectively speaking, it is an influence, and it should not be positive or negative.
In Kane's eyes, the fire of God is very high because of monotheism, all-encompassing, omniscient and omnipotent, such a fire is very versatile, and if there is a chance, it is worth the effort to get it, let alone this kind of delivery.
If God does not take it, it will be blamed, and when it is not welcomed, it will suffer.
To put it bluntly, it is necessary to make a move and be decisive and sharp.
In the side hall of the Temple Mountain, the Divine Stick Program Kael reappeared in front of the rescued people.
"Ladies and gentlemen, my Lord would like to bless and ask those who believe to be bathed and clothed, and to remain solemn. ”
With this sentence, the ritual of sealing the gods begins.
Compared with the moment of becoming a god, the most important thing is to go through the ritual process seriously, which directly determines whether you can succeed in becoming a god.
Of course, Kael must not say to the faithful, "You are the ones who will determine success or failure." ”
If you have some understanding of the brainwashing of pyramid schemes, you will have a strong sense of déjà vu when you see what Kael is doing.
First of all, it is necessary to emphasize solemnity, the subtext of which is: it is forbidden to talk and communicate without constraints.
Then there are the people who gather together, the number cannot be large, basically no more than 100 people, there are many people, it is easy to mess, the atmosphere is difficult to create, and the sermon is easy to be recognized.
The core of evangelism is indoctrination, not a seminar, let alone a debate.
During this period, Enwei is naturally indispensable. Those who engage in pyramid schemes generally take the wind and wash the dust, eat something good, show off the 'winners' by the way, look forward to the future, and coax the target into the pit, such as collecting the ID card through registration and other fames......
And tonight's rescue, healing, and appeasement are the transcendent version of grace.
Wei also used, a certain believer who was rescued, the real identity turned out to be a cultist, a spy, when receiving the divine power to heal the wound, the divine power broke its disguise, making it show the true appearance of the monster, and then was killed.
Of course, this is a scene, and if you can distinguish friend from foe through the color of your soul, how can you let the evil believers get in?
Belief is a thing that is suitable for foiling and striking on the side, and is not suitable for incitement.
From the beginning to the end, Kael did not ask people to believe it, but made a fuss about the concept of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil and being blessed.
Now, under the guidance of Cael, the people walked through the magnificent hall and entered the baths, which, unlike the baths they had imagined, turned out to be a strange waterway, with a statue of a bottle of water standing on both sides of the waterway, and a glowing bottle of pure water poured down from the waterway, and the water in the waterway was also crystal clear and glowing, giving a dreamlike sense of cleanliness.
"He who does not believe in the power of our Lord shall not be baptized. ”
"You won't see anyone else when you bathe, so don't panic, just move forward." ”
In the past, the belief of the Church of Light was self-believing, which was a Protestant way of playing, and believers could directly contact God without the need for pastors and priests.
However, this time when he was saved, Kael said that baptism and ordination always have to have a solemn beginning, and only then can it be regarded as a real entry.
When people thought about it, it seemed right, but they didn't expect the rules to be so big, let alone so magical. After all, people have the impression that they believe not in the true God, but in a prophet like Moses and Muhammad.
However, now that it has begun, it can't be stopped, and it has left them enough time to think about it before, and people have thought it through.
Have you really figured it out?
Not necessarily.
There's an operation called 'they think they're acting voluntarily'.
The first, the second, with the leader, the others followed in turn.
Most of the people here are not believers, they are at a loss and panic, they have doubts and pressures, they don't know if they are believers now, if they don't qualify, will something terrible happen?
In fact, at this time they were already trying to convince themselves that they needed the blessing and blessing of the prophet, and they longed for more comfort and hope.
Walking into the waterway, sure enough, there was only oneself left, no one in front of or behind, and a gentle voice sounded in his ears, instructing people what to do.
He took off his clothes and walked naked.
In addition to physical needs, there are also psychological needs, and being naked and openly facing a group of people wearing clothes will instinctively give birth to a feeling of lack of basic protection, not just the shame of exposing private parts.
The sadhana is a process of restraining and guiding people's psychology from beginning to end. No one else was to be seen in this waterway, but a gentle voice sounded in his ears, and one would subconsciously think: At least in the eyes of the Prophet, I have an unobstructed view......
Walk through the waterways, then the corridors of fire, the corridors of wind, each with its own strange scenery and sayings, and finally the solemn hall of the earth.
Here the people were given new clothes, a white linen, sleeveless robe. After putting it on, he used a black sash and then took the allegedly unconsecrated emblem to the ceremonial hall under the guidance of the priest.
People didn't know that the Savior they were counting on had not so long ago been forced to work as a high-ranking coolie in order to build a ritual corridor for bathing and changing.
Yes, the original Temple Hill did not have those, it was a blueprint drafted by Kane to achieve a simplified version of the mystery and magnificence of the Temple of the Elements, in the service of the ritual.
As long as you do the complicated rituals carefully, the contempt and distractions will be eliminated one by one, this is a kind of atmosphere of contrast, a sacred and solemn feeling, that is, constantly relying on sensory stimulation to guide and accumulate, in order to be promoted to a point where people really go to the heart and have a deep memory, and even if they know that it is a performance, they will admit it, just like some sensational movie clips, foreshadowing, character images, backgrounds and music in place, knowing that it is fake, it can also make people cry.
The first scene on the Temple Hill that Kane arrived at through the spiral staircase of the Hall of the Two Realms was the Sacred Hall, which was a magnificent and palace-level art collection, but in Kane's opinion, it was still a little less hot.
What's the difference?
As a temple of God, it is too gaudy and fancy. failed to jump out of the category of glory and wealth, and failed to show otherworldly characteristics.
Therefore, the redecoration of the Holy Basilica was also one of the tasks of Goffrey.
Of course, this operation does not need to destroy the original, but to carry out shelling processing, just like another liner, but it is more complicated, because it will integrate the original characteristics to a certain extent.
In fact, the main thing is the use of light. The light is used well, and the ordinary can create a brilliant or mysterious and chic effect, which is something that modern people know a little about decoration, but in this era, there are not many people who understand the value of light and shadow.
Under Kane's guidance, Goldfrey almost wasted all of his divine power savings, and finally completed a series of extraordinary decoration work similar to magic shaping at a high speed and efficiency.
A banquet and a show, the stage has been set up, and now, the actors are also in place.
The next step is to perform, appreciate, and move. Abbreviated as self-hi.
At Cael's command, the final part of the sadhana begins.
The simple induction is to take a walk, shout a few slogans, and then take a walk, which is very simple and cannot be complicated, after all, there is no rehearsal, no special practice. But with the audio-visual effects, everything is different.
Sensory stimulation can arouse people's emotions, and Kane's 'deep streamer' cosmic vision of the invading Nerva and his party in Nozawa Park has left an unforgettable impression on determined witch hunters. It was a sudden grandeur and shock.
And this time the god canonization ceremony needs to be gradually lifted, gradually reaching the highest point.
"Sing praises to me, and thank the Prophet, that You have filled our hearts with a spirit of joy!" said Kael's voice, which rang in everyone's ears.
People chanted along.
"Thank the Prophet for giving us strength and strength in our journey of life!"
"Bless our hearts and minds so that we can do Your will. ”
"Strengthen our faith with your word, that we may be a light in our paths and a lamp to our feet, that we may learn your likeness and walk in the way that pleases you. ”......
The prayer is not really brilliant, the mood is the key.
Chanting over and over again, simple ritual movements, but the feedback given by the main hall is gradually enhanced, in addition to the light and shadow effects, there are also spell effects thrown on people.
The more focused and heartfelt it is, the more you can experience the injection of a wave of comfort, there will be a reward for paying, and there will be feedback for sincerity, and the real price is the death of the god blood berry fields of the Scarlet Manor.
The emblem that hung around people's necks began to glow.
From belief to undoubtedness, ordinary prayers finally moved me and triggered the power of pure faith.
The power of faith, a type of soul energy, is a high-energy state, pure and sufficient, and can be used for some special transcendent operations.
In the Supreme Hall, Gao Frey sat in the throne of God, the power of faith fell from the sky, enveloping him and the seat in the form of a beam of light, and on Gao Frey's body, a phantom began to detach, as if to fly away with the light, and the most critical soul was stripped away, and it began.
