THE BENE GESSERIT (Galactic Sisterhood of Witches) DUNE EXPLAINED
Ойын-сауық
Hey guys what’s happening? Niyat here with film comics explained, and as requested, today we’ll be exploring The Bene Gesserit as featured in Frank Herberts expansive Dune universe.
The Bene Gesserit Order (also known as the Sisterhood) were an ancient and adept organisation consisting of all-women spies, nuns, scientists, and theologians that used genetic experimentation, galactic political interference and religious engineering to further their agenda.
Hoping to guide the human race with the advent of their chosen one, the Kwisatz Haderach, their actions had a major impact on the evolution of humanity.
In this video, I’m going to do my best to explain their origins, history, philosophy, training, hierarchy and of course, their incredible powers and abilities.

Darwi has the best quote of all time in the Dune universe. “All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it is magnetic to the corruptible.” - Darwi Odrade That Paul's long lost descendant would speak/recognize truth is no accident.

This line is applicable to real life proven by the disturbing statistics that there are more psychopaths in positions of power but by virtue of the nature of psychopaths, I would add to the quote: "... It is not that power corrupts but that it is magnetic to the corrupt and the corruptible."

Yeah, I hate the idea that power somehow corrupts everyone. The reality is that power shows what kind of person you really are, and the irony of it is that people who shouldn't have power are drawn to it and people who should have power refuse to accept it out of humility.

The Bene Gesserit is the original inspiration for the Jedi Order - the Voice, the Weirding Ways, near complete control of mind, body and even soul and consciousness - Frank Herbert was championing strong female leads and his respect for women is reflected in the world he built for the Bene Gesserit order.

It's a good observation that they are one of the prime movers of events in the Dune universe, but I think they are the prime example of humanity's tendency to grasp for control instead of accepting a disordered universe. Their order seeks to control actions of others, the decisions of other organization and religions, even supreme control of their own bodies. To a Bene Gesserit, lack of control means annihilation.

@@jameslabbe4119 I'm not sure they represent whole humanity, though. It seems to me they're somewhat similar to real life Christianity, a.k.a. a portion of entire race that seeks to control everything in a way they see fit, even if that control comes at the cost of the rest of the race. Similarly "all roads lead to Rome", in Dune every event after Butlerian Jihad leads to Bene Gesserit, they're the beginning of every plot and root of all evil. Ironically, the nature of their activities is what destroys them in the end, what's with the Honored Matres and everything else.

@@jameslabbe4119 And in that, I don't think they intend harm, on the large scale, but they do need to stand emotionally detatched from everything so they can think clearly. Their big goal in the first book is to create a leader who has access to *all* the ego memories, not just the female ones, as the Reverend Mothers cannot access the male memories. When their goal came about though, it was out of their control, thus did things they did not understand. Leto II however had a goal that was beneficial for humanity on the large scale, but also cast him as a tyrant, a fate he accepted when he stepped onto the "Golden Path". Even after Leto's time, the Bene Gesserit was split between those who despised Leto and feared his legacy (especially the Atreides family line), and those very few who understood his purpose despite his tyranny.

When you first heard Paul use the voice, the overdub was dominated at first my his mothers voice, and then the mother superiors voice. Indicating he is using their techniques as taught from teacher to pupil. Once he started his transformation into the kwizatz haderach his was the dominant voice.

what I have always found interesting about the box, the test of pain and self control. Is that I know what my reaction would be. I recently in the last year or so almost lost every finger on my right hand after doctors put my arm in in a cast and left me alone for several hours after I had lost all feeling in my arm. My fingers were the only thing I could feel. The burning...like someone had lit my fingers on fire while ants crawled all over and bit and stung my fingers in different places all at once. All the while I felt like they were freezing. I was dealing with a cold sweat at the same time, body tremors, shivering, and a sense of disorientation. I still have my arm, but have incurred permanent nerve damage in my fingers and hand because of it.

An experience that's testing for sure. About 15 years ago, I made the bad choice of going down a cross country skiing track on a cold night after forgetting my gloves and face shield. It resulted in severe frostbite where amputation and skin grafting was on the table. I was able to keep my hands and even had a successful career in the Army since but to this day I am incapable of feeling temperatures in my arms from the elbow down or my face. I feel pressure levels but no hot or cold and it's resulted in me getting burned badly a few times because I had no idea I was touching something burning hot. While I was recovering from the initial frostbite and the flesh on my forearms and hands literally dying and falling off it was sheer agony though.

I like how Dune at it's core doesn't try to rely on some mystical superpowers, radioactive animal bites, magic, the force, warp, or divinity, but instead on the simple power of the human mind + a drug or two. That all it does is simply push Shao-Lin or Fakir techniques to a greater perfection with the use of exotic drugs. It makes it all so real, you really get the sense that it's achievable IRL if only we discovered a plant or an animal that secrets a proper hallucinogen.

The sisterhood is one of the most powerful groups in the setting, individually each one then is able to take of entire squads of sardakar without been touched, they literally lead the galaxy by the nose having agents in almost every main house and yet the woman playing the Lady Jessica somehow thinks Dune was a sexist portrayal of them that her and the director “”fixed”” in the new version of Dune. I don’t know if she didn’t bother to read the book or just somehow missed the whole point of what the Bene Gesserit are about, they make the idea of a cats paw look like barging into room screaming while painted in neon colours and stabbing all the guests just to subtly move a chess piece, they have been manipulating all the great houses for hundreds of years to make Paul (well Paul was meant to be a girl and was meant to be his some but you know what I mean) a power so great it can control all the stars and the plan was to have a leash on him with them holding the lead.

Really miss your, Philosophy Of, series. Not that anything is wrong with these analysis. It's much appreciated as I never had the luxury of mindlessly escaping into fantastic tales. So anything commonplace to everyone else is foreign to me. Although the underlying messages weren't known at the time as it passes I'm hyper-aware how intelligent and altruistic these fictional worlds were. Yet no one saw or heeded the warnings predicted. Every nightmare has came true. We're on fast track to collapse and I never thought I would live to witness so many accept their, "master", happily. I wouldn't waste the time either. Thanks again.

As a kid my dad was a HUGE Dune fan.. I didn't need to read or watch (was forced to anyway) the dune series but it is absolutely an astounding story. There is much to have learned from the series and future-istic politics. Dune isn't for everyone and I absolutely recommend it to anyone with a mature mind, and openness to more than just a "story". The Dune movie trilogy made about 40yrs ago (I probably heavily butchered the date) is a great movie series if anyone wants to start there. Not the biggest fan of the new movie but would highly recommend.

universe Diune the best. Thanks Brian! Thanks Anderson!
Quite interesting
The Bene Gesserit wrote those treatises at the exact same time as the Orange Catholic Ecumenism and the reorder of galactic religion. They are constantly brought up together and the "sisters" are both represented by a futuristic nun outfit and "an order" of such "nun" clothing wearing "sisters of the faith". It's pretty clear where _Frank_ was going with the imagery, even if _Brian_ has reordered this to de-stress this intrinsic (and tongue-in-cheek) link enough that it is seemingly ignored here.
I don't think you made it clear enough that the first goal of the Sisterhood was to preserve humanity as a species, to prevent our extinction by outside forces, and guide the species to "maturity." Like a mother who is determined that her children will survive. That was the purpose of the Kwisatz Haderach: to access the genentic memory of the Y chromosone, and use prescience to see future timelines to avoid extinction. That's why Leto spent three and a half thousand years breeding for a mutation that would make humans unseeable by "future" sight. If humans could not be predicted, could not be seen in future timelines, they could avoid being attacked by alien forces. And I do think the Bene Gesserit did fear that eventually, humanity would encounter non-human intelligences that would seek to destroy them. The BG took a really long view of history and their mission. The Kwisatz Haderach wasn't the ultimate goal, he was a way to see to the survival of the human race. That's also why Leto din't destroy the Sisterhood. They had to be reminded of that further goal, and taken down a peg or two. Three and a half thousand years of boring "Peace" would be imprinted in humanity's and the Sisterhood's genetic memory. Humanity would never again long for a "Golden Age." The first "Golden Age" with machines almost destroyed it, Leto saw to it there would never be another "lapse."

As someone who had infection of middle ear and went through pain of central nervous system, I felt Paul's pain.
I like this remake rather than the other ones
Certainly some hidden gems in here...
Is the outro track available ?? Love it,,, takes me back..
Part two will really showcase the Bene Geserit power. The witches are incredible fighters, lightning fast with a knowledge of where to strike a person to incapacitate maim or kill.

Dude, part 1 was an absolute fever dream for someone who had no experience with the IP. I read the books afterward and realized that Dune gets the GoT treatment. Books were just so good comparatively.
I like to say thank you from Trinidad and Tobago

Niyat doing his best to explain how the Bene Gesserit function in the Dune Universe Me "Space magic! Of course!"
> "We will create & control a godlike super-being." Not a great plan.
