The "Atreides Manifesto" appears anonymously, calling into question every religion based on science while declaring that the universe is magical and transient. Because that is the essence of the hidden "Shariat," the Bene Tleilax embrace it and look forward to the "powindah" (non-Tleilaxu) expending great energies trying to suppress it, knowing that this will only further empower the words. The document is the work of the Reverend Mother Darwi Odrade, a descendent of Siona Atreides, written at the direction of the Reverend Mother Superior Alma Mavis Taraza. It has the intended effect.
