Book content

The greatest virtues are, without a shadow of a doubt, Humility and Temperance. Their union is holy, as it subdues Flesh, tempers Spirit, and elevates Soul to Eternity.

Be wary of Repletion, as it's the greatest enemy of Life in all its pristine Purity. It's the craving for Repletion that makes us chase mundane, carnal pleasures - yet this path leads nowhere, and the more Delights we mortals consume, the closer we teeter towards the Abyss from which there is no salvation.

And so you shall rise with Austerity, praise Restraint, hail Simplicity - they, akin to the aspects of the Host, serve as different manifestations of the same Eternal Truth. To show courage in embracing Life along with all its sorrows and tribulations is to prove your Will to Survive.

So it has Been, so it Is, and so it will always Be.
