The same thing is happening right now with the gigantic Amazon thread. I've lost the plot on who is quoting whom, so I've punted on the whole discussion.

Getting the correct words to match up with who actually said them? Yeah, let's go ahead and agree that's just a bit important ...

The serpent urea on the brow of an Egyptian pharoahs forehead represents Set (also known Sukhet) the shadow god. A pharoah represents the Sun (god) so he is allowed to turn his back on the Sun to look at the people who are worshipping him/her & the Sun (facing East). When he does this he is looking into his own shadow, which falls upon the people. This relates the concept to Karma. Another aspect of this teaching is that the midday Sun, when it is directly above our head, means that the shadow is most concentrated beneath our feet. This is where our karma trips us up; when we are directly beneath God (Sun). All of these contexts are fundamental to Egyptian spirituality and pharoahnic culture. Being a desert civilisation I had assumed that Fremen would have similar ideals, hence the subtle mention of Sarfa in the appendix.

What Leto does is he teaches humanity to commit Sarfa.

Dancing, moving our feet to avoid those pesky snakes of karma that keep tripping us. Dancing wild, non-rhythmic, that they cannot second guess our movements and lay in wait.
This is Sheeana's path.

that's my view of it too. that's why it's so important that Duncan turns his back on him also. And ofcourse the very nature of why the worms listen to Sheeana. As Odrade found out: it's a language.
Leto wanted humankind to be able to turn their backs on him. When a tyrant like Leot is no longer needed, the Golden Pathway has succeeded.

Not really, my last std test was clean & I have already achieved everything i set out to do already by the age of 30, so all the rest is a bonus. Nice comic though Now my biggest problem is deciding which groupy to have kids with.. methinks, both of the dark ones

ftr you don't die of aids, you die of illnesses, auto-immuno deficiency syndrome is not a disease its a description of what happens when your immunity system is shot to fuck, for example what happens when you take vaccinations and eat a high sugar diet, also certain other chemicals in your food, and of course the nasties they put in chemtrails. REally you would have a more fulfilling existence lobbying your government about these issues than insulting some dweeb you took a fancy to on a website, but the government will probably ignore you too wheras the people on websites just shake their heads and thank their lucky stars they don't live your sad pathetic nonlives.

thanks for the boost Norma Cenva! if you want to have an intellignet conversation about Dune that doesn't involved pretards then give me a shout by pm, there's an alternate dune site I know of exclusively for real people.

Just stop right there. Everyone. The personal insults need to stop, this means everyone. I created this site for that purpose and regardless of their foilbles you'll not fine more knowledgable Dune minds anywhere else.

Y'all need to stop acting like children and remember why we're here.

I am here purely for 1 reason and that is to discuss dune with dune fans.

thanks for interceding freakzilla it was necessary.

If I see an error in what is being posted, whether it's about Dune or anything else, I'm going to reply. If that is unacceptable, then you'd best ban me now.

I don't do prequals, nor sequals, in fact I wont touch anything that has kevin anderson involvement.
I am a fan of Frank Herbert's Dune. I like my spice pure and raw.
Thanks for the link though.

As if you haven't been a member there already. Perhaps you should stop lying about a number of things. Makes you more acceptable to "discuss" with. From a number of posts it has become utterly clear you mess up Dune with either scenes from the 1984 movie or the McDune books. I have had enough of your crap.
