The Purity of Flesh and Word
After bringing more wood in and loading the stove for the night, Jake locked the front door, checked that the windows were secured and pushed a cabinet in front of the door. Jake then pushed the couch into the bedroom. The group had previously decided to all stay in the same room for security reasons. Jake advised that if he had to start shooting at someone or something, he needed to know where the girls were located. For the past two weeks, Kaira has been sleeping with Jake, so he assumed that this would continue to be the arrangement. Callie stated that her and Airen can sleep on opposite sides of the couch.
Jake returned to the bedroom to continue writing. Like the previous nights, Kaira came in wearing her shawl and laid down next to Jake. A few minutes later, Airen and Callie came into the room and began getting situated for the night. Callie asked "what about this door?" Jake would normally secure the door of the room they are staying in but as Jake explained, it needed to stay open for the heat of the wood stove in the next room.
Jake returned to bed next to Kaira. The room calmed for the night. Jake continued to write using the solar light. While hiking for miles over the past few days, Jake has been thinking about methods to bring hope to the group. Something to believe in and to work towards. A way to expand and provide meaning to their current existence. Jake began writing about a hierarchy for the group. A right-of passage to reach the next level. Jake knew that this was just fantasy, but, what if this fantasy could bring hope and a reason to continue to survive beyond their basic needs. After all, the highest level of Maslow's Hierarchy: Self Actuation, is ultimate creativity and freedom in the arts. This world is now theirs to make their own. Who is going to say that they can't?
That question of who, momentarily hung on Jake's mind. He knew he needed to protect the group from outside influence. Jake wrote "I need a rifle. Maybe we all need rifles."
Kaira asked Jake to read to her. He read the passage that he had been working on tonight.
The Unveiling of the Sacred Text: The Purity of Flesh and Word
To embark upon the path that leads to the highest revelations, the follower must first learn the true nature of purity; not the purity of the spirit alone, but the purity of flesh, untouched, unmarked, and untarnished by the sins of the world. The mind can only reach its true capacity when it is unclouded, when the body is as unblemished as the pages upon which the Eternal Words are written.
Thus, the first trial is the Rite of the Unclad Word. It begins with the shedding of all clothing, all fabric that serves to hide the body's divine form. The flesh must be bare, exposed to the air, so that the true soul of the follower may emerge unhindered, unencumbered by the material world. Clothing is a veil of deception; to study the sacred writings clothed in fabric is to deny the purity of thought and spirit that must flow from the flesh itself.
To Jakes surprise, Kaira started to remove her shawl. It was difficult to read with her lying there. Her beautiful body exposed to the light next to him. Only her underwear remained on.
Jake continued: Clothing is a veil of deception; to study the sacred writings clothed in fabric is to deny the purity of thought and spirit that must flow from the flesh itself. Kaira then removed her underwear as Jake continued to attempt to read. Kaira rolled over onto Jake with her hand on his chest. She appeared to fall asleep by the time Jake finished reading. He spent a few minutes staring at her. She was actually following along and acting out his writing. Where could this take them he pondered. He wondered if his writing could direct something further. Jake laid there thinking of multiple angles to continue with his writing until he eventually fell asleep.
Jake woke up the next morning with Kaira still nude, holding onto him. The other girls were still sleeping. Jake covered Kaira and eased out of the bed. He grabbed his gun, and went outside to walk the perimeter. His mind was trying to figure out what happened last night. He needed to write more.
