Chapter One: Indoctrination
He was born into a family of plebians, free citizens, but in reality
servants of the Empire, slaves of the Continuum.
He could not tolerate injustice.
He felt the suffering of everyone.
He fought the empire.
For his gallantry, the Continuum made him a star.
He entered service as a bureaucrat, then soldier, then priest.

Chapter Two: Dogma
He made his vow, and took holy orders.
He immersed himself in the priesthood.
His knowledge expanded, the history of the Empire was
exposed in sacred texts.
It fascinated him, and struck him cold.
Deep feelings were stirring inside him.
He became aware of the reality of the Collective, and
the truth set him free.

Chapter
Three: Rites
He took all of the rituals seriously, as he did everything during his
career.
He fulfilled them with grace, and a presence that gave no indication
of the fact that he knew they were empty gestures, and meaningless incantations.
He believed the cohesion of the Empire, of a million worlds, relied on
them for everything.

Chapter Four: Mystery
He was indoctrinated into the deepest mysteries of the Imperium.
He discovered the mechanism of salvation, translation of consciousness
into the quantum field, eternal life in the Continuum as a member of the
Collective.
He learned that the Imperial rites meant nothing, they were based on lies,
minor dramas perpetuated as a means of control.

Chapter Five: Belief
He spent his days promoting the beliefs of the Empire.
He spoke with power and confidence, elegantly articulating the complex
narratives that glued the Imperial society together.
He was a living exemplar of the faith, demonstrating to everyone, even
the outcast, the possibility of elevating their station with fidelity, duty,
and adherence to the laws.

Chapter Six: Orthodoxy
He learned to differentiate between belief, and conviction, with the
greatest care given to the manner in which he expressed himself; what you
hold in your heart is not what you voice, survival depends on it.
The higher he ascended into the mysteries, the more he felt he was
shackled by the dogma and tradition.

Chapter Seven: Unkowing
There are no words available in any language to articulate the universal
truths regarding the infinite, and the eternal; every attempt to do so was
manipulative, and false.
The religion of the Empire was a web of lies, coercions, and control
mechanisms. The lie had been perfected over millions of years, holding all
people together.
