      I got the impression it was more how the major powers in the Duneverse exerted power than a power source in itself (hence why Mohiam didn't mention it in her little talk).
    • 2003 November 12, Thirsty Viking [username], “Re: Dune Slave -- Life of the Party -- Spoilers”, in alt.tv.angel[2] (Usenet):
      And all the Fans of Dune (the Novel) I know in real life have always agreed with me that the mini-series was much better than the movie in portaying[sic] the Duneverse.

      Given that all other current-day religions have turned into something unrecognizable in the Duneverse, it does seem a bit odd to have a "Rabbi" running around. But I haven't read the later Frank Herbert books, so it's possible he explained it there.
