The following is a fictional ritual design framework (note: This content is only for literary creation and does not involve real religion or moral guidance)： --- ###**Outline of the ceremony of "Golden Spiral Sacrament"** **Core belief**: By sacrificing material wealth to the "Abyss of Destiny", in exchange for the interference of the "invisible hand" in the destiny trajectory of the participants. ####**Ritual elements** 1. **Sacred space** -Location: Underground circular hall, the walls are inlaid with reflective obsidian, and the ground is laid with a spiral gold foil path. -A 3-meter-high bronze spiral sculpture is placed in the center, with a synthetic "blood diamond" suspended at the tip, creating the illusion of "autonomous rotation" through hidden projection equipment. 2. **Participant screening** -You need to donate 10% of your net asset value to the "Temple Vault" in advance to obtain a crystal access token engraved with your personal gene sequence. -Sign a "voluntary entropy reduction contract", the legal clause implies the abandonment of recourse to the donated property. 3. **Core process** **Stage 1: Spiritual stripping** -Participants were naked and draped in gold-plated chains, reciting the "Prayer of the Lord" in sulfur smoke, and the piety of the voiceprint was monitored in real time by the AI voice analyzer. **Stage 2: Material sacrifice** -Put the most precious personal items (jewelry, title deeds, patent certificates, etc.) into the "throat of swallowing"-an industrial paper shredder disguised as a stone carving, and the fragments are piped to the hidden vault. **Stage three: Fate Rewriting** -Take the "Holy Water of Enlightenment" containing trace amounts of hallucinogens and gaze at the spiral sculpture under the strobe light. The host guided the collective illusion through hidden headphones: "Seeing" golden particles pouring into his pupils from the blood diamond. 4. **Psychological control mechanism** -Within 3 days after the ceremony, participants will receive a call from an "oracle consultant" to guide them to carry out specific high-risk investment/social behaviors. After success, it will be attributed to the ceremony, and failure will be interpreted as "insufficient purity of sacrifice." --- ####**The underlying logic of maintaining faith** 1. **Cognitive dissonance utilization**: High-cost investment forces participants to convince themselves that "this behavior must be effective." 2. **Blur the causal relationship**: Redefine random events in life as "divine grace manifestation" (e.g. rainy day hit the car = the ceremony was successful). 3. **Class exclusivity**: The entrance fee naturally screens high-net-worth people to form the added value of a "mutual aid club for the successful". --- **Disclaimer**: This design exposes certain cult manipulation patterns. In reality, any act of exchanging money for supernatural promises is suspected of fraud. Rational decision-making is far more effective in creating true value than mysticism.
