Initiates- regarded by the lower Castes as representatives of the Priest-Kings, the high Castes and more intellectual citizens do not take their teaching seriously, but tend to tolerate them because of their influence on the lower Caste citizens. The Initiates regard themselves as the Highest Caste. They have their own laws and courts. Their education is wholly focused on mathematics and interpretations of revelations of the Priest-Kings. The Priest -Kings themselves consider the Caste an example of the aberrations of human kind. The Initiates believe only they can achieve eternal life. Initiates do not eat meat or beans,or drink alcohol; they shave their faces and head and are celibate. Their numbers are replenished by recruiting young men to become novices.
