Natural hierarchy

natural hierarchy: "Living in accordance with natural hierarchy is not a matter of following a series of rigid rules or structuring your days with lifeless commandments or codes of conduct. The world has order and power and richness that can teach you how to conduct your life artfully, with kindness to others and care for yourself."

"The discovery of Natural Hierarchy has to be a personal experience - magic is something you must experience for yourself." "You will be inspired to serve your world, to surrender yourself completely." (pg 140) When we refer to hierarchy, we refer to the structure and order of the universe-a sense of heritage that the warrior must appreciate. But appreciating isn't enough. There is a need for discipline, and that discipline comes from realizing that such a world as this was created for you, that people expended energy to bring you up, that in your weak moments you were helped, and that, when you were ready for inspiration, you were inspired. So, the discipline of genuinely working for others comes from appreciating hierarchy." (See "The Shambhala Lineage") "The warrior's journey of discovering natural hierarchy of reality and his place in the world is both exalted and very simple. It is simple, because it is so immediate and touching. It is touching your origin - your place in this world, the place you came from and the place you belong." (pg 141) (see Sacred World, Universal Monarch Seven Riches of the Universal Monarch, Drala and Invoking Drala)
