The medicine man will fix it. The medicine man will make it all better. The medicine man can see who you really are inside. The medicine man can judge what true fairness is. The medicine man can arrive at complete conclusions from incomplete information. The medicine man can utter the holy words that turn calves into cows and grey into silver.

Everyone should listen to the medicine man. Listening to the medicine man makes you a good person, and not listening makes you a bad person.

The medicine man sees through you. Your conscious experience of your attention, judgments, desires is false, and only the medicine man's judgment of you is true. Your behavior is false, and only the medicine man's choices for your behavior are true. In your most deliberate, driven moments you are most lost.

You are an abandoned puppet in need of a puppeteer, and although you are incapable of choosing one for yourself (you poor puppet), the medicine man will graciously puppet you.
