I was reflecting on what it means that Pluto is now where it was at in the middle of the 18th or late 15th / early 16th Century. The ice ball PLUTO -- revealer transformer and breaker of resistance -- now standing still again for the first time in almost 250 years on or close to the galactic center - 26 Sagittarius (my own ascendant) - inspired me to look for some ancient truths, and I found some of them in these:
Quotes from DUNE
- by Frank Herbert:
"Prophecy and prescience -- How can they be put to the test in the face of the unanswered questions? Consider: How much is actual prediction of the "wave form" (as Muad'Dib referred to his vision-image) and how much is the prophet shaping the future to fit the prophecy? What of the harmonics inherent in the act of prophecy? Does the prophet see the future or does he see a line of weakness, a fault or cleavage that he may shatter with words or decisions as a diamond-cutter shatters his gem with a blow of a knife?"

"The trouble with some kinds of warfare (and be certain the Tyrant knew this, because it is implicit in his lesson) is that they destroy all moral decency in susceptible types.

"At the quantum level our universe can be seen as an indeterminable place, predictable in a statistical way only when you employ large enough numbers. Between that universe and a relatively predictable one where the passage of a single planet can be timed to a picosecond, other forces come into play. For the in-between universe where we find our daily lives, that which you believe is a dominant force. Your beliefs order the unfolding of daily events. If enough of us believe, a new thing can be made to exist. Belief structure creates a filter through which chaos is sifted into order."

There are those who feel that Frank Herbert was - like Pierre Teilhard de Chardin - a product of "Jesuit Teachings", and if that is the case, so be it, as I have always admired the keen perception, the active and aware mind of this master author whose works inspired me also to do my own thinking.
