Meditation: Gorgan dies
Star Trek Meditation: Gorgan dies (And the Children Shall Lead)
TYPE: Compassion
PURPOSE: This Audio-visual Meditation Narration reminds us that anger is an expression of pain.
CONTEXT:
KIRK: Don’t be afraid. Look at him. Without you children, he’s nothing. The evil remains within him.
(Gorgan becomes ugly.)
GORGAN: I command you! I command you! To your posts! Carry out your duties, or I will destroy you! You will be swept aside to make way for the strong.
KIRK: Look how ugly he really is. Look at him and don’t be afraid.
GORGAN: Death. Death to you all. Death to you all. Death to you all. Death to you all.
(Gorgon fades away. Sulu’s swords vanish. McCoy enters.)
METHOD: Power is not bad. But power that dominates is motivated by pain, especially fear. This is a didactic, fable like scene. With beginner’s mind, feel compassion for Gorgan.
