Humanity And Our Overwhelming Need For Hierarchy

Humanity and Our Overwhelming Need for Hierarchy

From the smallest family unit straight through to the largest settlements humans we as a species have voluntarily submitted ourselves to a structured and tiered system of power and importance.
In the family unit, the typical peak is the patriarchal position of father (occasionally matriarchal mother). The mother typically holds the next level of authority, until an eldest son rises up to overtake her (under the guise of training to lead his own family presumably). Children are layered below this pinnacle by age and gender, with males superseding females due to their ability to aid in providing support for the unit.
The larger our collective becomes, as in a village for example, the Patriarchs are determined by control of resources and/or ability to dictate the village resources (including the people who live within the communally dominated lands. Again this role can be taken by a matriarchal figure but it is quite rare until much later in our development.
As the settlements become larger and larger, the pyramid of power or caste or hierarchy becomes more defined. More tiers are developed to allow those not capable of belonging to the highest levels to distinguish themselves from others.
As is the nature of a pyramid structure, each tier below the capstone layer must be much larger than the layer above it in order to support it. The exacting mathematics for this are likely exponential or some form of Fibonacci relationship.
Again the larger the collective the greater the number of potential tiers, especially since the main hierarchy is not the only one in the community. Regardless of how many pyramid structured hierarchies exist in a particular group they all fit under the capstone of the main one or they will be removed, as their can only be one leader (even if this leader is a group rather than an individual as is the case in our modern society).
Creating multitudes of individual pyramids allows potential allies and rivals to assume positions of power that would otherwise be impossible due to the nature of the pyramid itself. Each sub pyramid can be appointed its own 'capstone' leader(s) as reward for supporting the main system.
The nature of civilization has sadly taken a very materialistic role where individuals are valued based upon their control and ownership of resources. This is sadly a necessary evil as their must needs be some form of measurement to determine where each individual fits in the scheme of things.
Under this system wealth (resources) fall under the control of the upper echelons of the hierarchy especially as those higher up are paid tithes/tariffs/tributes/dues and every other form of graft that is required to potentially reconfigure one's position in the system. Over time this system tends to become very unbalanced with the masses carrying the weight of every level above them. The lowest level in the pyramid must use all of their resources just to continue existing and the worst part is that the pyramid takes on a life of its own and demands that these payments supersede any and all rights to comfort and sustainability from their support base.
The leaders often recognize this and fear the dissolution of the carefully contrived structure through rebellion (the lowest tier always outnumber the tier above) or through attrition and they create minimalistic illusions of support for their underlings – both to ensure complacency and survival (though rarely much more than the basics) through the perception of altruism and philanthropy.
Today in our modern world we falsely believe that there are innumerable pyramids and that through our efforts and support of individual structures we will be allowed to climb up the ladder and attain a better position. The truth of the matter is that those above know that their own positions are the only ones available and for an individual from below to rise, one of them must fall. Very few individuals who have a measurable position ever do anything to aid those below them and more often than nought reserve empty positions on their own level for friends and family long before they would ever consider allowing a lesser being to rise up as an equal.
From birth we are predisposed to enter into this hierarchy and toil our lives to maintain it. It is written in our ancestral memory and in everything we perceive. There are always lotteries to allow the sudden freedom of advancement – for instance in today's world we have sports, music, and of course the lottery. The connecting factor for all of these means of expediently rising comes out of the proverbial pockets of the people from the lowest levels who pay all of the costs to allow the escape. Never are the 'winners' ever buoyed above their fate by their betters, and while the 'winners' may achieve a better life and access to more resources the pyramids they exist in are never more than smoke and mirrors. Nothing like the permanence of the sociopolitical ones that have dominated human history throughout our existence. With a wave of a hand all of these pyramids can be removed casting those who believed themselves free, back into the morass of those writhing merely to exist. These fictional power groups have no link to real power and are only allowed to continue as long as they make the masses complacent and willing to endure their fates.
As this is our nature, what are we to do? Is it hardwired into our being to endure this unnatural division? Can we ever escape from the drudgery and slavery it imposes?
Well the answer to this is simply found back in the original family unit. We are meant to defer to our father, but in truth we are meant to defer to our Father.
If we we as a group to return to our Father our lives would become free.
So many people have become determined to deny His existence. The leaders of the pyramid openly denounce Him as a fraud – using their 'science,' 'philosophy.' and every other means in their hands to distort His existence.
Religion is nothing more than another aspect of the pyramid. This should be obvious as they have the wealth and none of the labour. Certainly they have those among their number that toil but they toil to support the structure of their own pyramids.
God is our Father not our Lord. By its definition a Lord is a master (not unlike those who have lorded over humanity since its inception). A Father who is a Lord is a tyrant and not worthy of the moniker.
Our Father asks us to follow him to eternity offering everything equally to all. All that is asked in return is to follow 7 simple laws – that in any sane person's eyes are not any sort of infringement upon any freedom.
1 Remember that the Sabbath day is set apart. Six days you shall work and do all your service of representing the Messenger and proclaiming the message. But the seventh day, the Sabbath of Yahweh your God you shall not do any part of the work of God's Representative and Messenger yourself, nor your son, your daughter, your servants and employees, your means of production, and those visitors who relationally are in your home, property, or community. For indeed in six days Yahweh made the heavens and the earth and the seas and all which relationally is in them. And He became completely settled during the seventh day. Therefore Yahweh blessed and adored the Sabbath day, setting it apart.
2 View as significant and consider as worthy, your Father and your Mother and your days will be prolonged in the Land which by way of relationship Yahweh your God has prepared and given to you as a gift.
3 You shall not murder.
4 You shall not commit adultery.
5 You shall not steal.
6 You shall not testify against your neighbour as a deceptive or misleading witness.
7 You shall not desire your neighbour's house. You shall not desire your neighbour's wife, nor his male or female servants, his cattle, donkey, or anything which is associated with your neighbour.

What is often misinterpreted as the first three commandments are actually the most important edict we could ever have received, and if understood for their great import will allow each of His children to see the death that lies in the pyramids of mankind and those who rule them.

God spoke all these Words, saying: I am Yahweh your God who relationally came forth to bring you out of the house of bondage in the land of Misraym. You shall not establish or institute other gods beside My personal presence, You shall not prepare or produce for yourself accordingly a carved image or idol, or any visual representation of something which is in the heavens above, or which is on the earth below, or which is in the waters beneath the land. You shall not bow down and worship them or speak for them and you shall not serve them. For indeed, I Yahweh your God am a zealous and jealous God, counting and reckoning the perversity and sin of twisting and distorting of the fathers upon the children concerning the third and fourth generations of those who hate and are hostile to Me. But I will prepare, perform, and produce unmerited and unfailing mercy, unearned favour, and undeserved kindness to thousands who love Me and who closely observe my Commandments, instructions and prescriptions. You shall not lift up or deceitfully advance lifelessness in the name of Yahweh your God, for I will not consider innocent, forgive, pardon, release, or fail to punish one who by association promotes, sustains, or accepts that which is desolate, deceitful, deadly, destructive, or damning in My name.

What is being said here is that creating these false pyramids, supporting them is a religion of death. Yahweh provided us with historical records of His efforts to free us from this crucible of enslavement in Egypt yet here we stand today willingly building pyramids for invisible Pharaohs again. They have corrupted His Word so as to deceive us and incorporate it into their scheme using it to create dissension and yet more hierarchies.
One warning and seven rules – rules that no sane person could not live by. Society today fosters hatred or mockery at best for this simple freedom yet we willingly accept hundreds of thousands of rules made by men. Rules that keep us separated and keep them feeding off of us in their parasitic ways as they have done since time immemorial. The irony is that those who accept the worldly laws of slavery are the ones who decry the Commandments of Yahweh as unfair and a breach of their freedom.
We do have a choice and always have, it is inherent to our free-will. We can follow the world of man into lifelessness and eternal oblivion or we can follow our Father to freedom and eternal life.

As a Catholic, I am somewhat amused that you have so belatedly discovered the need for structure within the Church.



I would stongly advise a careful re-examination of all you hold against my Catholic Church. To know what it officially teaches, you need to get a copy of the Catechims of Catholic Church. You might be surprised that we hold the Christian wisdom of the ages, dating especially from the Early Church in the Book of Acts.

 

[MarkMeunier]

I understand the merits of the Catholic Church as well as every other denomination. Yet it is this very separation that persists amongst all of them that has eaten at the foundation of the Word of God. Along with editing such as Lord (a title relegated to the nomenclature of Baal) and the absence of the commandment forbidding idolatry and graven images of which many of the more prestigious Churches employ to extreme graphic extent. That and the titular moniker of Pope which is a bastardization of Papa which again is indicative of Father - of which we have only one and He is not earthly or mortal. The merits of these ancient organizations are more commonly found in the vast wealth of ancient lore that has been lost far too many times to mankind and their ability to persevere in the far off parts of the world that most required the Word be brought to them.

As an aside if you'll carefully notice that the Catholic Church in and of itself was never mentioned by name and can only be inferred by the reader who must exercise their own discretion to dictate it value or placement withing said hierarchical structures.

And again as another aside I apologize if what was written offended you as it was never my intention to offend merely to postulate and attempt a linear understanding of how the world has fallen into such disrepair even while the Churches of today's world have at their grasp immense political and financial resources to challenge the power of Kings and countries.

Please forgive me as no individual of any such organization is guilty by association and in truth some of the finest people anyone could ever meet have fellowship within these institutions.

God Bless

Is this an explanation of the caste system which is practised by the Indians.?
