DUNE CHRONICLES |
Duncan Idaho |
I've had a bellyful of the god and priest business! You think U don't see my
own mythos? Consult your data once more, Hayt. I've insinuated my rites into
the most elementary human acts. The people eat in the name of Muad'Dib! They
make love in my name, are born in my name -- cross the street in my name. A
roof beam cannot be raised in the lowliest hovel of far Gangishree without
invoking the blessing of Muad'Dib? Book of Diatribes from The Hayt Chronicle Dune Messiah
No bitter stench of funeral-still for Muad'Dib
Muad'Dib's teachings have become the playground of scholastics, of the
superstitious and the corrupt. He taught a balanced way of life, a philosophy
with which a human can meet problems arising from an ever-changing universe.
He said humankind is still evolving, in a process which will never end. He
said this evolution moves on changing principles which are know only to
eternity. How can corrupted reasoning play with such an essence.
I give you the desert chameleon, whose ability to blend itself into the
background tells you all you need to know about the roots of ecology and the
foundations of a personal identity.
