Bene Gesserit Training Manual
The Bene Gesserit Sisterhood is a charitable organization dedicated to the
empowerment of women. Our sole purpose is the improvement of living standards and
education of children worldwide. This manual is will assist those who would become
Bene Gesserit. We consider this a noble endeavor. The good works of one Bene
Gesserit may inspire and improve countless lives. Our decisions go out from us like
threads into the lives of others, thus a dedication of one’s life to good works cannot be
but a good work in itself, and of benefit to all humanity.
Once you have become a Bene Gesserit, there will be no realm of human affairs in
which you shall not have the capacity to excel. As a Bene Gesserit, you will
increasingly approach life with a new maturity, a Bene Gesserit-heightened awareness
and confidence that something of great strength is growing inside you. Our sisters live
much fuller lives and defy the traditional chauvinistic model of the “weaker sex” in
every way. Bene Gesserit males possess formidable powers and abilities. Once you are
Bene Gesserit, you are assured of lifelong maintenance. You will be challenged
throughout your life. You will repay the Sisterhood right up to the limits of your
abilities.
In order to function at a higher level, we must explore the limits of ourselves. Very few
people ever push themselves to become something more. Very few people ever discover
the amazing abilities and achievements of which they are capable. Gliding, passionless
mediocrity is all that most people think they can achieve. We must develop and train
human minds and talents to achieve true freedom. Following the Way, (the Bene
Gesserit regimen of training) will be a challenging and growth-filled experience. It will
change you.
“I am like a person whose hands were kept numb, without sensation from the first
moment of awareness-until one day the ability to feel is forced into them. And I say,
“Look! I have no hands!” But the people all around me say, “What are hands?”
Be ready to change and expand your awareness of the universe around you. You will
never be the same person that you were. You will be different. You will be a person
who lives at a higher level. Some never participate. Life happens to them. They get by
on little more than dumb persistence and resist with anger or violence all things that
might lift them out of resentment-filled illusions of security. You will not be this person.
One of your life-long objectives will be the eradication of this bovine mentality. A Bene

Bene Gesserit Training Manual
Gesserit is a beacon of light. She is a leader, healer and teacher. She is a constantly
expanding and learning Human of unlimited capabilities.
“Beware of manuals! Manuals create habits!”
Except for the preliminary teachings tailored to the acolytes and postulants, we try to
avoid admonitory sayings, but since this is our first edition and we must break the virgin
soil, you will forgive the many errors inherent in this work. Someone had to do the
plowing. Do not argue over the possible meanings of the contents of this manual. Words
are dead things. Truth changes. Facts are fragile. Be Warned. Understand nothing. All
comprehension is temporary. We realize, however, that a foundation is necessary, no
matter how impermanent it may be. This is a real manual for real Bene Gesserit. It is not
a guide book for children and their role-playing games. This is a guidebook for strong
women to do great things.
Why do we have manuals?
Answer: To disprove them.
As you read, you may be curious about the distinct lack of rules and regulations
concerning your duties and a lack of standard operating procedures. Discard your
concerns. Rules are often an excuse to ignore compassion. The coda and lessons are for
Novices, Postulants and Acolytes in Primary Training. (Since this is the first edition of
the Manual, that describes the vast majority of us.) As you read and study, always keep
the Bene Gesserit paradigm in mind: We study systems for the purpose of exploiting
those systems. (A benevolent exploitation) If you are honest with yourself, as a Bene
Gesserit must be, then you will always consider yourself a novice. Before you begin to
read and absorb, you must allow yourself to cast off assumption, prediction and
judgment. You must be zero, open to anything and everything.
We call this Bene Gesserit naiveté. This is the innocence that goes naturally with
experience, a condition often confused with ignorance. Into this naiveté all things flow.
It is very high performance indeed. Information enters without prejudgment. You are a
mirror upon which the universe is reflected. That reflection is all you experience.
Images bounce from your senses. Hypotheses arise, important, even when wrong. Here
is the exceptional case where more than one wrong can produce dependable decisions.
