The Flesh

[Xieon]

Excellent research, however I believe what happened is simply Stu was hungry, killed a zombie, and ate it.

After that happened he was able to hear Richtofen because the 115 and the Ether interact, so with the 115 in Stu he can talk to Richtofen.

Thank you Xieon! I appreciate it, and I think I got into a theory rush so I blacked out. It started with Sam and the radio and some how I ended up making it back to Shangri-La as the anti-Christ. :| :)

I think the radio messages are just from other people who have also been contacted by Maxis to complete his task, and for whatever reason were unsuccessful. I don't believe them to be any one special. I think the only thing that separates the new crew from the people on the radios is that we have Samuel, who can of course hear Richtofen as well.

I also believe that Xieon is right in that since all this began, there has been a severe shortage of food, which would have lead to some becoming desperate and eating expired zombies. The consumption of the mutated flesh leads to the ability to hear Richtofen, I think this was seen as some form of miracle and then lead to the creation of The Flesh as a new religious sect believing that they gain special abilities by eating zombie flesh and embraced it in a ritualistic manner.

There's already sects. That believe that but hard to get quoted from. I do stand with Xieon on that and appreciation both of you for the feedback! It follows Great Leap Forward , because there was great famine and people fell back on anything that gave then hope. So you got a person usher this into China and we got a scary bloodthirsty cult hunting for food because they believe that their cause is right and will give them spiritual gain.

The Flesh

By RequixEclipse

"Science has failed us. HE, has abandoned us. In this new world we alone are your salvation, we alone can light way. Here our words. Head our call. There is but one way to enlightenment. Just as they would consume us we must consume them. We are the living and we are the dead...We are The Flesh! We will not starve. We will thrive.”

This whole flesh thing is just getting to me and I know its getting to some CoDz members. Here is what I brought together I hope it helps!

What is the Flesh? Who is the Flesh?

-The soft tissue of the body of a vertebrate, covering the bones which consists of skeletal muscle and fat.

¬ The surface or skin of the human body.

- The meat of animals as distinguished from the edible tissue of fish or fowl.

- Botany- The pulpy, usually edible part of a fruit or vegetable.

- Excess fatty tissue; plumpness.

-The body as opposed to the mind or soul.

-The physical or carnal nature of humankind.

Sensual appetites.

- Humankind in general; humanity.

Buddhism

The Flesh has claimed to know the path to enlightenment. Which leads to Buddhist ideology and the teachings of Buddha. Buddhism has 2 different group beliefs making it hard to call a religion because it depends on which group you are talking about.

Theravada Buddhism (Southern)

Was formed after Buddha died, by one of his followers after gathering 500 senior monks. Nirvana is their prime target.

Nirvana:

-Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism- The attainment of enlightenment and freeing of the spiritual self from attachment to worldly things, ending the cycle of birth and rebirth.

These monks strived to achieve that goal.

Meditation and insight (Vipashyana-dhura). This involves "... insight meditation, the practice of tranquility and the quieting of the mind."

Study (Gantha-dhura). This involves "... the study of the Buddhist canon, the scriptures, and the path to knowledge and wisdom."

Mahayana Buddhism (Northern)

Was the movement to bring Buddhism to common people. Monks from Theravada Buddhism realized there was little room for humanity to join in, so a new schism erupted within the ranks of Buddhism in the first century AD.

It would attempt to take the teachings of Buddha to better satisfy a greater number of people. Since this was to satisfy more people it was named, the Greater Vehicle (the Greater Ox-Cart) or Mahayana.

Mahayana Buddhist refer to Theravada as Hinayana, or 'The Lesser Vehicle.'

Theravada embrace Bodhisattva (“one who achieves perfect attainment.”) To them teaching is just a tool for individuals on the path to Nirvana

Bodhisattva was a mandate not for perfection, but to save all sentient beings from suffering. The Mahayana take a vow NOT to enter Nirvana, even though they too strive to reach the same enlightenment.

Bodhisattva when translated is literally 'one whose essence is perfect wisdom' or 'one destined for enlightenment.' The Crucial characteristics of the Bodhisattva in both sects are compassion, selflessness, wisdom, and servitude. The Bodhisattva takes a vow:

“I must lead all beings to liberation, I will stay here until the end, even for the sake of one living mortal'.”

Reincarnation

Reincarnation is the process in which after death a human, animal or spiritual depending on the moral quality of the previous life's actions spiritual entity is reborn into a new life.

Incarnation is fully defined as: Embodied in flesh or taking on flesh. A sentient creature like a new born baby who is materially manifested of an entity, God or force whose has a divine immaterial nature.

The Flesh are those who have always reincarnated. the Theravada. the Enlightened ones. there is always a new “skin sack” waiting for a soul to be born again. For they are the living and the dead. They will not starve but THRIVE because in the Human Realm we cant help but starve.

While Buddha was on his deathbed he said to his followers:

“Use the Dharma as a guide not as the teacher. It does not lye in the views of a teacher, however helpful of fine an exemplar he or she is, but in the heart where the meaning of selfhood resides. The path to such understanding is essentially a lone quest, just as it was for me. Guidance lyes in the teachings not in a teacher.”

The Four Noble Truths, Principles of Impermanence, Emptiness and the Law of Interdependent Causation lye at the heart of the matter. They require experiential realization not intellectual assent. [Vehicles] for the transmission of the Dharma are essential, realization an individual matter in which clinging to identity and all forms of representation are abandoned.

Dharma

1. performing of duties of Hinduism: in Hinduism, somebody's duty to behave according to strict religious and social codes, or the righteousness earned by performing religious and social duties

2. Eternal truth in Buddhism: in Buddhism, the truth about the way things are and will always be in the universe or in nature, especially when contained in scripture.

What is Dharma?

It deals with one basic goal - how to escape Samsara. Samsara is the cycle of rebirths that is known more commonly as reincarnation. Freedom from Samsara leads to Nirvana, which is thought of as a complete deliverance. The Eastern version of Heaven.

Richtofen has chosen a Vehicle. A new Vessel so that he can abandon the flesh and finally be free.

[Dude1590]

"The Flesh" is a group of people who eat zombies to survive....not because its there religion...but because a lack of food sourses...Samuel is part of that group as was the female in the radio...just saying my theory

The Flesh pertains to every living human. Richtofen has the power to control any body he chooses. There is no evidence saying that its not there religion. Do they eat flesh religiously? With the lack of information you provide to back your theory I cant take that as an answer.

The Flesh is obviously a cult. Cults are based off of some form of religion. I find that below I provide a perfectly good explanation and I shall stand by that.

[DaPikmin]

I was seriously gonna post a thread asking what happened to The Flesh. It hasn't been mentioned in Buried, has it?

Anyway, The Flesh probably just is a group of people that ate the Zombies, or killed the weak to feast on most likely since the lack of food the world would have then.

[Guest]

I created this awhile ago. There is 2 Budduhs in Die Rise. Maxis quotes "Reincarnation is Key." The Flesh claim that there is but 1 path to enlightenment. The Flesh are merely other humans who are turning to canniblism due to the lack of food. During The Great Lead Forward there was famine do to.. No I know you have had to read PINNAZs Thread. I hope you have its titled China's Great Leap Forward..

Did you even read the whole thread? Did you here or look around man? Iv stuided many different cultures and there practices such as religion. The Flesh is us we are Richtofens slaves. We gave were giving him blood sacrifices as we trample steamed zombies at the spire.

In Buried Richtofen escapes aether. This is him abandoning us. In this new world We alone are salvation, We alone can light the way. There is but one path to enlightenment. Just as THEY would consume us. WE must consume THEM. WE are the [LIVING] and we are the (DEAD)

we will not STARVE we will THRIVE!

[Guest]

Why would the crew kill samuel if they new Richtofen was talk to him?

Because Richtofen Abandoned his "people" and has entered the Hinduist/ Buddhist version of heaven called NIRVANA which is attating enlightenment and breaking free from the cycle of BIRTHS and REBIRTHS.
