Super Spicy Dune Quotes, A Book Written By Frank Herbert
.
[We] must not let our passion interfere with our reason. That is not good. That is bad .... ( Fear is the mindkiller ).
Current events :
A popular man arouses the jealousy of the powerful.
A human would remain in the trap, endure the pain, feigning death that he might kill the trapper and remove a threat to his kind.
Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.
Without change something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken.
We must totally destroy all spice production on Arrakis. The Guild and the entire Universe depends on spice. He who can destroy a thing, controls a thing.
In shield fighting, one moves fast on defense, slow on attack. Attack has the sole purpose of tricking the opponent into a misstep, setting him up for the attack sinister. The shield turns the fast blow, admits the slow kindjal!
The slow blade penetrates the shield.
Remember: Walk without rhythm and we won’t attract the worm". It will go to the thumper.
A world is supported by four things … the learning of the wise, the justice of the great, the prayers of the righteous and the valor of the brave. But all of these are as nothing … without a ruler who knows the art of ruling.
(... not to mention 'the art of the deal' :)
Respect for the truth is the basis for all morality. Something cannot emerge from nothing.
Another quote relevant to us : “You see, gentlemen, they have something to die for. They've discovered they're a people. They're awakening.”
Dune is my favorite book ever. Its philosophy is based on sufism and zen. This is a mix between the spiritual virility of Islam and the the absolute fluidity of the mind described in the Zen philosophy. The mix is very relevant to us. Be faithful, brave and righteous but don't close your mind and be as open as possible, to be able to consider any possibility with a depassionate and clear mind.
Everything you're speaking of here is exactly the shared intuitive insight that's been emerging recently among me/others. A word or 'rayma' of pure synchronicity + flow. 'Watch the water'.
And even more intriguing, such principles are not at heart in contradiction with any faiths or understandings. But rather they are foundationally inherent in both humans and the greater creation itself. A 'both/and, multidimensional, WWG1WGA' kinda universe :)
[Just as I typed that last word - the singer of a song playing in the b/g sang the word 'universe'. Wow, the individual strings of our collective 'guitar' must really be resonating in tune lately, we seem to be generating lots of 'overtones'!]
Or as someone once described it.... we humans are truly 'fearsomely/awesomely made'', and 'all things are ours...' And that's what ds hopes we the people will never realize and actualize.
