Because human sacrifices were once made on the hills above this river. Bodies burnt, water seeped through the wooden ashes to create lye. This is lye - the crucial ingredient. Once it mixed with the melted fat of the bodies, a thick white soapy discharge crept into the river. Can I see your hand please?
It will hurt more than you have ever been burned and you will have a scar
What are you doing?!!! [screams]
Guided meditation worked for cancer it could work for this
Stay with the pain, don't shut this out
Stay with the pain, don't shut this out. The first soap was made from the ashes of heroes, like the first monkey shot into space. Without pain, without sacrifice we would have nothing
I tried not to think of the words searing flesh.
Stop it! This is your pain. This is your burning hand its right here
I'm going to my cave, I'm going to my cave, I'm going to find my power animal [sobbing]
No! Don't deal with it the way those dead people do. Come On!
No what you're feeling is premature enlightenment
This is the greatest moment of your life and you're off somewhere missing it
I am not! [sobbing and grunting in pain]
Shut up. Our fathers were our models for god, if our fathers bailed what does that tell you about god?
Listen to me. You have to consider the possibility that God does not like you. He never wanted you. In all probability, he hates you. This is not the worst thing that can happen.
Fuck damnation, man. Fuck redemption. We are God's unwanted children. So be it!
Listen! You can run water over your hand to make it worse, or, look at me. Their eyes meet. Or you can use vinegar to neutralize the burn
Please let me have it!! Please!! [sobbing]
First you have to give up. First you have to know, not fear, know that one day you are going to die.
You don't know how this feels!! [angrily, rage in his eyes looking at tyler]
Its only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything.
Okay.
