assignment give to takita from her Master: can you go from a lower caste to a higher caste:
in vaious quotes stated by the Books of Gor a caste can and has been known to be raised..Goreans
as a rule are proud Men ..to most it would be unthinkable to alter His casteas He is to proud of His caste
and it is to much apart of Him.below are quotes found about the raising from one caste to another:
...In rare cases, one might have been permitted by the Council of High Castes to raise caste. None of course would accept a lower caste, and there were lower castes, the Caste of Peasants for example, the most basic caste of all Gor.
---Outlaw of Gor, 3:27
The caste of women too, although initially determined by birthright, is subject to change upon companionship. The Gorean free woman may then take her companion's caste, or retain her own. The children born of their union, regardless of this, will of course carry the caste rights of their father.
In taking companionship with one of the Warriors she would raise caste, for the Warriors on Gor are among the high castes, of which there are five, the Initiates, Scribes, Physicians, Builders and Warriors. ...It was my hope that the Lady Sabina would be happy. It was said she was much pleased to raise caste and would become, by this match, one of the high ladies of the Salerian Confederation, which was becoming powerful in the north. I did not think much of Thandar of Ti, perhaps because he was a man. I supposed he was not too pleased at being matched with a girl who was not of the five high castes, but surely he could appreciate the commercial and political significance of the match, and would be pleased to serve his city by doing his part....
---Slave Girl of Gor, 5:113-114
...There are, on Gor, it might be mentioned, ways of raising and altering caste, but the Gorean seldom avails himself of these. To most Goreans it would be unthinkable to alter caste. He is generally too proud of his caste and it is too much a part of him for him to think in such terms. It is, too, recognized that all, or most, of the castes perform necessary, commendable or useful functions. ...Each does, however, tend to think of his own caste as something special, and, somehow, I suspect, as being perhaps a bit more preferable than others. Most Goreans are quite content with their castes; this is probably a function of caste pride. I have little doubt but what the caste structure contributes greatly to the stability of Gorean society. Among other things it reduces competitive chaos, social and economic, and prevents the draining of intelligence and ambition into a small number of envied, prestigious occupations....
