Raising the Stones
“They were the enthusiasts, the sectarian devotees, zealots of the Overmind, whose heads, unfooled-with by any outside force, urged them to stricter vigilance and more extreme effort.One such fanatic, though his family and friends did not know it, was Shan Damzel. Another such was his friend and mentor, Howdabeen Churry. Though there was almost no difference in their ages, Shan considered himself Churry’s disciple. He went so far as to call Churry teacher, though only when they were alone. He di...d it to be daring, to share a secret between them, like a small boy sharing a newly learned dirty word. The word teacher was, like the words evangelist, missionary, apologist, or advocate, a word to which implications of head-fooling stuck like glue. High Baidee preferred words like lecturer, expositor, or commentator, words without any imputation of coercion. When one said teacher, the hearer might infer that someone was being taught, a thing no right-minded Baidee would consent to. Explaining something was all right.MoreLess
