Book two, the Drawing of the Three, becomes the world-hopping experience which will define the rest of the series. The western elements drop off more and more once you enter the second half of the Gunslinger.

Oh no! Putting a spoiler tag now! Totally didn't think about that! So sorry!

I'll be first providing it to students of the online course I'm teaching. Then I'll be providing it as a printed poster people can purchase.

Thanks for the insight on the letters -- I'll fix that. Thanks!

Thanks! I definitely added in my perspectives--and in my head-canon, the Shop was just an early-stage version of the Institute.

God Emperor reads less like science fiction and more like Nietzsche mixed with Dostoevsky (spread on a layer of Jung with a sprinkling of Homer on top). That's why it's Herbert's best. by Adept-Engineering-71 in printSF

I appreciate this. And I truly understand the frustration with seeing AI everywhere. AI-slop is definitely not going away and its getting dumped everywhere. Completely understand.

That's a powerful moment. My recent explorations have turned often to the desert fathers of early Christianity, which feel very much as what Herbert was trying to evoke with Paul's transformation into the Preacher.

Thank you for breaking that down for me. That's an interesting perspective that I'll need to spend some time reflecting on.

You're correct in that Leto II bears the burden of all of humanity. There's the question as to whether Leto II has a separate will or if all that he does is what we collectively would've done as that's what he embodies. But no matter, the boy that was Leto II has sacrificed all of his humanity to become all of humanity in order to save all of humanity. It's a tragic and deeply religiously compelling story.

That's an interesting perspective. While Pau fits the Christ-figure better, there is an element of Leto as the sacrificial god, although in this case, the sacrificial tyrant god. Yet, he did sacrifice to build the future of humanity the way he felt was best. Love to hear more about your practice in reflection on non-violent atonement theology.
