Essence: being sentenced to death.Condemned by the king: sentenced to death
One of the themes of this stage is that the death sentence. These people have been sentenced by the highest authority, either the king or God. This may be accompanied by the feeling of having failed or of being guilty, which only makes matters worse. They try and ask for pardon, by pleading and begging, or by a haughty display of arrogance. We might compare this situation to the one of an AIDS patient, who has has just received the diagnosis, knowing that this is a death sentence. He often feels guilt about his sexual behaviour, which was the likely cause of the disease. Becker (personal comment) told me that certain prisoners developed AIDS after they had volunteered to partake in experiments with radio-active materials in exchange for a pardon of their death sentence. There are probably other forms of fatal disease that will fit the
Astatinum picture.
Renounced as kingThey have no more say in matters of state, however powerful they may have been in the past. They try to hold on to their rights and their dignity as a ruler, but they are being banned and have to flee their country, so they cannot take responsibility for their people anymore.
Letting go of power: anarchistThey let go of the whole idea of power, they are real anarchists. They don’t even fight against it anymore, because that would mean they still recognised the existence of power.
Banned because of his abuse of powerThey may have been banned because of their abuse of power. They neglected their responsibilities as a leader and now they are sentenced to death or to exile. There is nowhere to escape to because the world is limited and you will always be found.

DD:
Gold series,
Stage 17.
DD Polonium: is able to retain some happy memories of his period as a leader, he can theorise and dream about the good old days.
Astatinum has to let go of everything, he is sentenced to death and has no opportunity to even think about the old days, although he will do everything he can to ask for pardon.
DD Mercurius: is more revolutionary, rather than anarchistic. The revolutionist fights against the ruling powers, the anarchist simply denies the existence of any power.
