"Jesus came to teach human beings that true sacrifice does not consist in offering God something outside of oneself: fruits, flour or livestock... Because even if the offering of products of the earth or of animals shows a will to give something up, the sacrifice is still not as essential as giving up the satisfaction of certain appetites or lusts. Jesus thus came to teach us that the time to make blood sacrifices was over and that it was now time to sacrifice our inner animals; yes, because our lower nature is the lair of all animals, both wild and domestic. We must sacrifice our vices, our basest instincts; these are the animals we must immolate. From the sacrifice of burning them on our inner altar, energies will be released which we will be able to put at the service of the spirit, the Deity."
