THE LITURGY OF THE CUBE
I. ON THE FURNISHINGS OF THE CUBIC SANCTUARY
In the direction of Georgia, which is where the throne of Dr. Gene Ray lies (May he be praised!), is the High Altar Of The Cubic Sanctuary. Its dimensions should be 8 feet in length, 4 feet in breadth, and 48inches in height. It should be covered with a black altar-cloth, on which may be embroidered Cubes in silver or another suitable emblem.
Above it is the Altar That Is Smaller Than The High Altar Of The Cubic Sanctuary, at whose top is the Cubic Clock and Calendar in reproduction, with four rectangular candles on each side of them. Below the Clock and Calendar is the reproduction of the Time Cube (All hail!) and the Sacrificial Fruit, with six rectangular candles on each side of them.
Directly out from the High Altar Of The Cube, about 15 feet, is the Low Altar Of The Cubic Sanctuary. It should be about four feet in dimension and should also be covered with a black altar cloth in the manner of the High Altar Of The Cubic Sanctuary.
II. ON THE OFFICERS OF THE LITURGY OF THE CUBE
The Priest: Bears the Book Of The Cube, and is clothed in a red robe and cape with a corresponding red Cubic Headdress.
Two Deacons: They are clothed in black robes with corresponding black Cubic Headdresses. One holds the Sacrificial Mallet and the other carries the Host Of The Cube (sugar Cubes) on a plate.
Two Children: They are clothed in white robes with corresponding white Cubic Headdresses. One bears the Cubic Staff Of Power and the other bears the Cubic Censor with burning incense inside it.

III. ON THE HAILING OF THE CUBE
The Priest raises his hands in the form of the Cube: All hail Time Cube!
The Congregation forming the Cube: All hail Time Cube!
IV. ON THE CREED OF THE CHURCH OF TIME CUBE
The Officers and the Congregation: I believe in one Ineffable Truth, and in one Cube whose likeness we are created; and in the Doctor, Gene Ray, the current regent of the Cube upon the Earth; and in his successor, XIX, the Wisest Human and the Protector of the Code Of The Pyramid. And I believe in the Church Of Time Cube whose wisdom will guide us in these dark days and save us from the Octagonal Prism and his Word Virus hordes.
V, ON THE CUBIC READINGS
The Priest: Now we shall partake of the truth and mercy and glory and honor and wisdom of the words of Dr. Gene Ray, the Savior. (Reads a selected verse from the Book Of The Cube) Now that we have heard from the mouth of Dr. Gene Ray, we may listen again for the wisdom of Dr. XIX, the Wisest Human and the Protector Of The Code Of The Pyramid. (Reads selected verse from the Outer Library) All hail Time Cube!
The Congregation: All hail!
The Priest: The readings of the Cube are at an end.
The Congregation; All hail!
VI. ON THE EATING OF THE HOST OF THE CUBE
The Priest turns and faces the Deacon who holds the Host Of The Cube and makes the sign of the Cube above the plate: Now we are about to partake of the Host Of The Cube! May it fill us with its bounteous glory and dispel the singularity within us as well as the Octagonal Prism!
The congregation files past the Priest while he places a sugar Cube on their hands. They return to their original position and then consume the Host Of The Cube.
V. ON THE DISPELLING OF THE CONGREGATION
The Priest turns back to face the Low Altar Of The Cubic Sanctuary: Yon hither do I see the Octagonal Prism! May he be appeased with a sacrifice!
The Priest turns and goes to the High Altar Of The Cubic Sanctuary and takes hold of the Sacrificial Fruit. He faces the Congregation: O Children Of The Cube! Go forth before mine eyes and battle against the Octagonal Prism and the Word Virus he rules!
The Congregation leaves the Cubic Sanctuary in the manner it entered and goes outside to the Sacrificial Column Of Cubic Appeasement.
The Officers leave the Cubic Sanctuary in the manner they entered (the Priest with the Sacrificial Fruit) and go outside the Cubic Sanctuary to the Sacrificial Column Of Cubic Appeasement
THIS ENDS THE LITURGY OF THE CUBE (Followed by the optional SMASHING OF THE SPHERICAL/NON-CUBIC SHAPED FRUIT).
