"All Men Will Find Him"

In The Game of Empire, Adzel seeks evidence of a Divine Incarnation off Earth. How will he distinguish between evidence of an Incarnation and evidence of a belief in an Incarnation? There is something like that on Ikrananka. I will check details later.

In Dune Messiah, Stilgar says that Muad'dib will not be found yet all men will find him. Obviously, all men will not literally find Muad'dib but Stilgar has identified his departed Mahdi with that which all men must find. In this sense, Muad'dib has becomee an avatar. Does the Dune series additionally imply that Muad'dib literally is a Divine Incarnation? I have heard this but do not see it.

More later.

Kaor, Paul!

It's an old idea among some Catholic speculators, maybe as far back as the 1950's, that Christ became Incarnate as "man" with other intelligent races.

Ad astra! Sean
