Many years ago I enjoyed Frank Herbert's "Dune." I saw a movie
version of it yesterday afternoon for the umpteenth time on AMC. I
was always impressed by the "Fear is the mind killer" passage.
I must not fear.
Fear is the mind killer.
Fear is the little-death that btings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it is gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will survive.
In Senyecan:
vììða ne mucéla.
to-fear not I-must
tan vììðan tun miinórgun nésa.
the fear the mind-killer it-is
tan vííðan tan yan tam sólam £éqïam navérca møÞlan
nésa.
the fear the which the total obliteration it-brings ittle-death it-is
mùµam vííðam mánta.
my fear I-face
mum ùpa tèrcöacöe nam mélca muvúnda.
me over through-and it to-pass I-permit
yum namemélca, nàµom ámßom ócöa tom énrom
ócöom mupélça.
when it-has-passed, its path to-see the inner eye I-turn
yu tan vííðan naáta, nècöon váála.
where the fear it-has-gone, nothing there-is
sóólun mun mutí£a.
only I I-remain
