RE: ANARCHISM / THEOCRACY / NATURAL LAW
Akhenaten (Amenhotep IV), who is believe to have introduced monotheism in replacement of traditional polytheism in Ancien Egypt, is an important figure in Rosicrucians' (AMORC) teachings. Would you consider monotheistic philosophy in general as a proponent of hierarchy?
yes and no. metaphysics is a strange history when you realize that politics has always tainted it. i would supply you this link with my answer as to what really inspired the origins of monotheism: http://www.sacred-texts.com/eso/sta/sta17.htm
and I would say that the ideas that monotheism originally stemmed from (which are ideas still acknowledged by AMORC) are the true understanding of monotheism, which has been distorted today with its exoteric definition. However, there are unfortunately plenty of Rosicrucians, just like Freemasons and others, that take this accurate understanding and then use "monotheism" as a weapon to subjugate people for political gain.
quite a tangled web....
I think I know what you are saying. Understanding words' meanings and fully grasping their underlying concepts is two different things.
Thanks, I'll take a look at your link!
