The Wolf of Jesus lectures that perhaps people want a return to
a silent one-ness, and the students all react by saying that how can
this be when Feng Shui is forbidden?
The lecturer replies that Feng Shui is forbidden because it
works. It is too easy and therefore bears the mark of the devil.
Chapter 54 begins on page 525 continuing the story of the
unnamed woman taken captive by the Indians and delivered into the
college of the Jesuits. But now it is being told in first person. The
novitiate is dressed in a corset and adorned with attractive makeup.
She is told she is supposed to charm "the chinaman." She is not told who
he is. She is told she will have to learn the language and will be sent
there for a year or two.
