# Extreme Faith Scene: The Path of Hunger for Penance In this hypothetical extreme faith group "Pure Light", followers believe that the body is the cage of the soul, and hunger is the key to the liberation of the soul. In an isolated valley, this group tests the loyalty of its members through strict dietary taboos. Believers experience a practice called the "Journey of purification", including： -Primary stage: Complete fasting two days a week -Intermediate stage: "Bright cycle", drinking only special herbal water for 7 consecutive days -Advanced stage: "Beyond the Moon", only a very small amount of dilute water and water are ingested for 30 days In this closed environment, the leader claims that the most devout can reach the "state of non-food"-relying entirely on "cosmic energy" to survive. In fact, many members are severely malnourished, but physical weakness is interpreted as a "sign of spiritual ascension", and physical protest is regarded as "impure distractions." Believers supervise each other's diet and admit their "faults" in public ceremonies. Those who cannot persevere in penance face public humiliation and are marked as "spiritually filthy." There is a myth circulating within the group that leaders can not eat for a long time, which reinforces the rationality of this behavior. This dangerous practice has led to a series of health problems, but due to the isolation of the group and the strengthening mechanism of faith, members continue to follow this extremely dangerous "road of purification."
