. . . But the real universe is always one step beyond logic.
-Paul Muad'Dib Atreides
The transcript of an interview with Frank and Beverly Herbert from 1969
was found and (mostly, save for one missing page) retyped and placed online.
As I am a Dune/Herbert fanatic, this makes me bouncy and happy.
READ THE INTERVIEW ALREADY!!
This is the awe-inspiring universe of magic: There are no atoms, only waves and motions all around.
Here, you discard all belief in barriers to understanding. You put aside understanding itself. This universe
cannot be seen, cannot be heard, cannot be detected in any way by fixed perceptions. It is the ultimate
void where no preordained screens occur upon which forms may be projected. You have only one
awareness here—the screen of the magi: Imagination! Here, you learn what it is to be human. You are
a creator of order, of beautiful shapes and system, an organizer of chaos.

Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense . . .
