We were to be given to understand, I took it, that these various matters were to be viewed as having all proceeded in accordance with the will of the mysterious priest-kings. But who knew? Perhaps they were not even interested in things of this sort. Too, assuming them to be interested, I wondered if there were any independent way of finding out what might be the will of the priest-kings, short, that is, of waiting and finding out how things, in fact, came out. It was difficult to know, you see, how such a claim, that things proceeded in accordance with the will of the priest-kings, might be evaluated. To be sure, perhaps a priest-King might show up and say, "No, that is not what I wanted, at all". But how would you know it was a priest-King? How would it establish its identity? Perhaps it could uproot trees, or kill people, or something. But, could priest-kings do such things? And, if so, was it only priest-kings who could do them? I expected that, here and there on this world, and doubtless on others, similar ceremonies might take place. - (Witness of Gor, Chapter )
