Dune: Why Create A God?

Dune: Why Create A God?

What Is It?

The YouTube video Dune: Why Create A God? by the YouTube channel, Quinn’s Ideas.

Here is the description for this video:

In this video, we will talk about the Purpose of “God” within the context of the Dune Saga.

In a sense, the Dune Saga is all about the concept of Godhood.

In the first book we see the apotheosis of Paul Atreides, as he uses the path laid out for him by the Bene Gesserit Missionaria Protectiva, to convince the Fremen that he is their prophesied savior.

Wielding the power of the Fremen Paul is able to avenge house Atreides and unseat the emperor of the known universe.

But in doing so he also entangled the throne to a fanatical religion, his Godhood would be invoked by others who would go on to commit terrible atrocities in his name.

The problem with this is that interpretation of God’s will cannot be easily monopolized.

A Government entangled with religion risks losing control over the very populace it seeks to subjugate, when that populace’s view of god shifts out of line with the standard established.

All that I can remember of this dream, is that it involved some celebrities & people with superpowers and / or demideities and / or deities, and they were being filmed separately outside during the day.

They were competing against each other.

Trying To Get Into “Heaven”? | Michelle Forbes?

Dream 1

I had a variety of dreams after falling asleep a few hours on the couch that are mostly forgotten now because in some of the dreams I recorded my dreams and / or thought that they were being recorded, some of these were probably false awakening dreams, and some involved movies that were being filmed like one or more Fast & Furious movies.

These dreams moved in and out of normal dreams, dreams of movies being filmed, probably false awakening dreams, and one of these dreams involved a multi-purpose building.
