Lewis. The story follows a linear compilation of the letters a higher ranked demon named Screwtape wrote to his incompetent nephew apprentice. The purpose of the book is to expose the demonic strategies Satan and his followers use to seperate us from God. In this game, you play from the perspective of Wormwood who has been called to Screwtape's office for a little test. ━━━━━DIALOGUE/ANSWERS━━━━━ Curiosity is dangerous. They must be seeking answers that confirm what is easiest for them to believe, not answers to satisfy their unfortunate thirst for Truth. Never let a human stray too far into a territory in which the Enemy has such an advantage. We are meant to keep their minds on a short leash. Prayers… A painful topic… The spiritual interaction between man and the Enemy is to be avoided, which is why when your Patient prays it is necessary that he does so without true connectedness to the divine. Keep him praying like a parrot– merely reciting a string of sentences he memorised, assure that his lips never actually utter the words, and do not let him suspect the impact of bodily position on his soul. When man has humbled himself, he is more susceptible to the influence of unpredictable outside forces. Pride is easier to foster and reinforce when they are oblivious to their flaws. If you are to loathe your Patient with self criticism, then criticise something superficial, or have him convolute logical assessment with merciless self-hate. The limiting isolation and illusion of superiority is what I treasure in Pride as a tool. Emotion renders humans malleable. Sew their minds shut when their feelings are endangered, but pry it open when the conclusion seems gratifying– this is how we direct humans away from logic and reasoning... I’m sure you know the jeopardies of such things. Our objective is to lead humans away from genuine spiritual growth, which is why we like to instil spiritual pride. Complacency and self-satisfaction with one’s spiritual standpoint will foster a sense of righteousness, hindering openness to diverse perspectives and genuine Christian values The Past is stagnant, the Future is temporal, and the Present is the liminal space between us and the Enemy. The Enemy wants humans to be concerned with Eternity because when they become aware of His Eternal plan for them, they will actively try to combat our demonic strategies. When the Patient is oblivious to the natural fluctuations in his life, he will sink into the fertile ground for manipulation. Unrealistic beliefs about the constancy of certain feelings and circumstances weaken the human’s emotional and spiritual resistance during challenging or low points. In these moments, we may comfortably influence their thoughts and offer unhealthy pleasure motivated coping mechanisms. I don’t like the sound of music and what it often expresses, but what I do appreciate is its utility for us alongside other art forms in media. What is love? Well of course it is the flutter he feels in his stomach when a beautiful woman who he thinks can fulfil his every need and yearn in life calls him handsome and strong. Now, “romance” aside– the very concept of love is bafflingly ridiculous to me. I mean, the purpose of existence is to conquer other forms of life– to thrive with the things you take from others for yourself! ━━━━━TAGS━━━━━
