Preaching of the Infection

Preaching of the Infection is a text written by u/Azcatriz going into depth about how sapience works within the ranks of the Husks. It is written by an unknown preacher of the infection to his pupils - possibly in the Book of Light.
=== The Transcript ===
"As Hallownest limped on in its existence, the Radiance no longer sees use in turning bugs into mindless slaves. For they obviously possess no free will and are essentially stupid. So one day, she decides to not make the shambles mere worthless husks, no more valuable than the crawlids, but into beings capable of higher thought. And that makes them more potent, more dangerous, more cunning, and less prone to idleness. Of course, not everyone is capable of withstanding Her Grace, for those that linger on in the past will remain in the past. And will be as mindless as the false claims of the non-believers. A pity, may they find enlightenment in their own time."
"Only a handful are capable of such things, those of which have to be deemed worthy in the eyes of the Holy Radiance, the Only Light. Our anatomy is that of others that are unenlightened, of the heretics that roamed the very lands Her people once roamed. They see us as hostile, nothing more than unthinking automatons, such as the moulds they command."
"Oh how wrong they are! How terrible must it be for those that do not see the truth! For only She is the one true Light. The one true leader of Hallownest. May her Light embrace us all." 
"Oh? My apologies, I must’ve been side-tracked. Anyways, we are not merely pawns, but living beings! Granted the powers of Her most graciousness. There are of course flaws in our body, such as our gradual decline in health. But what our bodies lack we make up for in mind, for She had graced us with enlightenment, the ability to communicate as a single entity. For communication wins battles, and wars." 
"Pray now, my children. Rest. The Refuge is not to be trusted, despite our current armistice. For some day they will return to exterminate. Nail and pale metal may be strong, but our faith is stronger"
