Something something Paul drinking the Water of Life to kill his individual self is ego death in the original sense of the word
#dune#dune spoilers#dune meta#because in killing his sense of honour and fear of causing the deaths of billions and taking up the most utilitarian path#of leading the jihad for the narrow chance of ensuring maximum safety for the family he's built and people he cares about#he's killing Paul Atreides the human and viewing himself as simply a pawn in a bigger game of 4D chess#which goes hand in hand with him taking on the Other Memory - the collective psyches of his royal blood ancestors and Reverend Mothers past#in doing so he kills his ego and becomes the collective#a turning point that is clearly distilled in and signified by his taking of the Water of Life#duneposting
