It is time to recognize that the
hierarchy extends throughout

vast cosmological tree.
This constitutes the grand

branches of the tree.
Thus, the hierarchy is an

most cases, this translates into
the concept of saviorship and
the teacher/student ordering of
the universe.

The hierarchy is composed of
all entities of all motives that
have linked their energies into
sub-groups. These sub-groups
are independent branches of
the vast, cosmological tree that
