Their world didn’t allow them to take things easily, didn’t allow them to be sane, virtuous, happy. Bernard’s' melting isn't going far enough he tries to keep up with the group and their exultant cries of 'orgy. They continue to pass the soma and sense the Coming, the Twelve-in-One, the Greater Being and their atonement and consummation of solidarity.
