Yeah, Dune, one of my favorite books! I've been re-reading the first three books of the Dune series, this time concentrating more on politics and religion instead of plot and character development. Combined with my new awareness of JW and XJW themes I give you the following quotes from "Children of Dune":
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remainTo suspect your own mortality is to know the beginning of terror; to learn irrefutably that you are mortal is to know the end of terror.
I realize humans cannot bear very much reality. Most lives are a flight from selfhood. Most prefer the truths of the stable. You stick your head into the stanchions and munch contentedly until you die. Others use you for their purposes. Not once do you live outside the stable to lift you head and be your own creature.
And the last one seems to be known among the GB members because they handle these possible threats to their leadership quite well:
A large populace held in check by a small but powerful force is quite a common situation in our universe. And we know the major conditions wherein this large populace may turn upon its keepers: 1) When they find a leader. This is the most volatile threat to the powerful; they must retain control of leaders. 2) When the populace recognizes its chains. Keep the populace blind and unquestioning. 3) When the populace perceives a hope of escape from bondage. They must never even believe that escape is possible!
