Private Reflections on Muad'Dib |
Prophecy and prescience - How can they be put to the test in the face of the
unanswered questions? Consider: How much is actual prediction of the "wave
form" (as Muad'Dib referred to his vision-image) and how much is the prophet
shaping the future to fit the prophecy? What of the harmonics inherent in the
act of prophecy? Does the prophet see the future or does he see a line of
weakness, a fault or cleavage that he may shatter with words or decisions
as a diamond-cutter shatters his gem with a blow of a knife? "Private Reflections on Muad'Dib" by the Princess Irulan Dune
