Whether the interview was scripted or @samson transcribed it, the message is clear.

This isn’t about power. It’s about intimidation.

The time of the OSDM is coming to a close.

“You of little faith, why are you so afraid?”

Before judging Simon, there are a few things he told me on Saturday that I should probably share.

He joined the OOA back in 1988 and during his first meeting, he was struck by how many older people were in the organization. It was his idea to do more outreach to a more youthful crowd. Especially those with charisma who take a liking for the arts.

[SadakoParticipant]

Par for the course based on what Simon said to me on Saturday. He says everyone either wants to fight him or f*ck him. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

With all due respect @shinobi, you weren’t there to witness Trin’s Ascension. I don’t care who our new Oracle might have been in her previous life. That is gone. Now she is simply our Oracle with greater purpose than she ever had in her old life.

I watched her senses be removed one by one. I saw her still breathing once the ceremony was over. The rapture in @masterlock‘s eyes is a sight I will never be able to forget. She asked me to stand beside her and I am 100% committed to her and Anoch.

If you want to take down @samson, whatever the reason, I’m with you. He has no faith. He simply desires power. He is the rot that has been eating the OOA from within and we will eventually have to deal with him.

But the moment you start threatening @masterlock or speaking ill of the Oracles who empower her, I can’t sit still.

Please choose your next actions carefully. You are not our enemy.

@kasch – @masterlock was in greater shock than the rest of us. She fell to the floor and for a second my heart sank thinking once again we had seen failure. But then she arose stronger than I’ve ever seen her, proclaiming Ascension had been achieved! Truly achieved! We have a new Oracle to connect us to the words of Anoch!

It was a sight I will never forget. Those of us within the walls of the OOA celebrated this new coming vigorously.

I believe this is the beginning of a new era. An era where @masterlock brings the OOA back to the path Anoch wants us to follow.

I now have unwavering faith… I stand by her no matter how the brewing storm proceeds…

Before this conversation continues, I must tell you all that some of your assumptions are objectively false. I say this as a witness to something a part of me no longer believed possible…

Tonight I entered the OOA broken. I wanted to have faith. No, I NEEDED to have faith. And yet my first experience left me wavering…

I spoke to @masterlock at length, but one thing I kept reminding her is the faith I have in her and in Anoch. She herself seemed to waver at times, and who can blame her? She’s seen a lot of failures since Ascension began. Part of me thinks she needed a sign just as much as I did…

I went in seeking faith… a sign that I was on the right path. That I should continue to follow this path…

And then I witnessed it… Ascenscion. A TRUE successful Ascension.

I know now that the OOA is not infallible. There are corrupt and vile individuals within those walls. I witnessed some even go so far as cause harm to Overseer as I stood helpless.

But this I know now. There is a war coming. A war that could bring the OOA closer to Anoch and true purity through the light. Or it could drive it back into total darkness…

Overseer IS that pure light we seek. And the fact that she has a new Oracle at her side after tonight only empowers her even more to end that corruption.

Consider that when you think of the necessary sacrifices that have been made so far.

Consider whether your resolution towards Overseer and the cause are worth the sacrifice knowing it has in fact strengthened us.

Glory Be!!!

I think the problem is seeing Death as a negative. Being chosen for Ascension is an honor that is not to be taken lightly as @electrichippo and @lmsmedley have witnessed. But if the ceremony fails, it’s not in vain because it’s still bringing us one step closer to the light of Anoch.

SPOILERS

During my time at the OOA, I was questioned about a hypothetical group of people who had died and presented with the quandary as to whether they had lived full and complete lives. I immediately answered this without hesitation because everyone lives a full and complete life regardless of individual circumstances.

Those who are honored with the possibility of Ascension are being rewarded by Anoch even if the ritual fails. They have served their purpose and are now truly free. Anoch’s light lifts all our burdens, but the form it takes is an individual one for each of us.

I hope these words bring you and your child comfort @electrichippo. I know you have the greatest of faith in @masterlock. May all our purposes come to be as it did for your husband.

Glory Be!

[SadakoParticipant]

He’s trying to intimidate you @mumumusings… Don’t fall for it. You’re much stronger than he realizes.

[SadakoParticipant]

The interview wasn’t transcribed. It was scripted. There are slight differences between the script and the audio…

[SadakoParticipant]

I witnessed the Ascension of our new Oracle. There is no doubt that it succeeded.

[SadakoParticipant]

There already was at least one other Oracle already within the walls of the OOA that we know of. So at a minimum @masterlock now has 2 by her side.

[SadakoParticipant]

@electrichippo I’m glad your husband is fine, but do you really question the actions of the Overseer?

Whatever the outcome, she guided you to that point. Maybe she knew your sacrifice would not be complete, but she still asked you to make it. Does that not in itself fulfill it’s purpose?

I personally do not question her guidance. I’m merely a tool for her use. Whatever my own judgement may be matters not for the greater good…

[SadakoParticipant]

I think the real question is why is everyone convinced they know what’s best for Overseer. A little introspection goes a long way.

[SadakoParticipant]

Faith is its own reward.
