Dean Betts <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:  Is "One" the name of a character in this book?     Good question. In a word no, but a word doesn't suffice. So . . . .     I had to invent a pronoun usage for a creature that is made up of two entities in close union. "I", "You", "He", "She", "We and Us" didn't work.  Collectively they are "The Ahnal" Ahnal being the name they share. The male and the female have separate names, but not separate identities, in a way. The race is the only non-human race in full partnership in the Alliance. Other races not being so technologically advanced on first contact. Sophont species, however, are very rare.     "One" as a pronoun was set up
 earlier in the book, but far enough before that quote that it wouldn't make sense to go back that far.     Speculative fiction seems to need speculation. They have the ability to create chords in speech and speak in a kind of musical glyph that cannot be imitated by a human being's larynx, though with great study a person might learn to understand some of the language as it is spoken. It's necessary to use an electronic device as a translator.     I am sorry for the long-winded explanation.

Is "One" the name of a character in this book?

  I thought it might help to actually quote from the text of the 
book:
  "
  “. . .Such agony and 
  destruction puzzles One. One cannot understand why one segment of your society 
  should wish to impose its will on the rest of your people, by manipulating 
  them with violence and terror. A people subjugated will never be a Unity. So 
  say the Prophets of One’s people, so say the Prophets of humanity as well. One 
  expects the people of a place and time to strive to deal honestly with one 
  another, being frank and above board about needs and desires so the people can 
  find a path which harms none and welcomes all.”
  A teacher from the mosque 
  said, “But Muhammad, praise be upon Him, says if it had been God’s intent to 
  make us all one people, He would have done so. Is a consensus of the people 
  sufficient to do right?”
  “One’s prophets say, One’s 
  people were made divided in intent and desire so that One’s people would 
  strive to achieve Unity, and win a place with the Creator in the next 
  existence.” The Ahnal turned to Malcolm, “What is it your Prophet said about 
  the unity of men?” 
  Malcolm knew this one by 
  heart. “He said: `Know ye not why We created you all from the same dust? 
  That no one should exalt himself over the other. Ponder at all times in your 
  hearts how ye were created. Since We have created you all from one same 
  substance it is incumbent on you to be even as one soul. . 
  .’”.
  “Yes, Captain Cristobal, that 
  is what One recalled.” He turned to the Mullah and said, “One believes that 
  your Prophet, Who should be praised, also said much the same. One is a humble 
  student of the religion of both species, since One believes that there was but 
  a single Creator.”
  The Mullah nodded his head 
  thoughtfully; “It would please me greatly if you might visit my Mosque, 
  honored Pa’oli Anahl. It seems that in an age where we can reach out our 
  hands, and embrace more and more of Allah’s Creation we see more and more how 
  we all are His creatures, whatever our form might 
  be.”
   The Pa’oli’s music was rich and grand. “Yes, 
  One will certainly do so, if the demands of the service 
  allow.”
   
  (The 
  Pa'oli are a species which only becomes truly sapient when bonded in mated 
  pairs.)

The quote is unattributed and the word "Baha`i" is only used in reference to individuals. The main character never discloses his religion, and I say nothing that might be construed as an offical stance.     An alien asks the main character "What is it that your Persian Prophets said of this?"     And a brief quote from the Hidden Words is the response.Tim Nolan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:Hello Scott,     >  to announce the publication of a novel I have written, with some references and quotes from the Baha`i faith tucked away within the story, <     Since it contains quotes and references about the Faith, did you have to get  approval from the

"Al-Dajjal" on the other hand translates to "The Impostor", refering to a specific end-of time deceiver. It is worthy to note that the term Al-Masih Ad-Dajjal (Arabic for "The False Messiah") is a literal translation of the Syriac term "Meshiha Deghala", which had been in the common vocabulary of the Middle East for
 more than 400 years prior to the Quran via the Peshitta (which uses that term instead of the Greek "antichristos").[1]  [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:  Well, even if it's _not_ okay, the least you could do now that you've tantalized some of us is to tell us the name of the book! ;-)--SekhmetIn a message dated 10/10/06 8:30:51 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:>. . . to announce the publication of a novel I have written, with some>references and quotes from the Baha`i faith tucked away within the story,>on this list?

Well, even if it's _not_ okay, the least you could do now that you've 
tantalized some of us is to tell us the name of the book! ;-)
