We discussed the Order of Loves, integrated and cohered by the Meta Love.
We discussed the Order of Goals, integrated and cohered by the Meta Goal.
We discussed the Order of Games, integrated and cohered by the Meta Game.
We discussed the Order of Projects, integrated and cohered by the Meta Project.
We discussed the Order of Laws, integrated and cohered by the Meta Law.
We discussed the Order of Systems, integrated and cohered by the Meta System.
Now we come to the issue of the Authority.
Just like there are countless goals and drives, that must be integrated and properly ordered in service of the Meta Goal / Meta Drive, so too are there countless authorities, which must be properly ordered and rightly related in service of the Meta Authority.
The Meta Authority is the highest order authority, which aligns all underlying authority into a functional unity which is capable of meeting the needs and solving the problems inherent in life and society.
What belongs at the top of the Order Of Authorities?
The only possible answer that does not immediately doom us to failure is:
The Meta Authority.
What is the Meta Authority?
It is what lies beyond and unifies all authority of which we can conceive. It is One.
The Authority of the Universe flows directly from the Source of the universe, and the Source of the Universe is One.
The Meta Authority is the Source and Sustainer of the universe.
This is why religions have used the visual imagery of the Kingdom Of God to denote the Time and Domain in which proper authority is restored, and all Creation lives in Harmony and Right Relationship in accordance with the Meta Law.
This Order Of Authorities is implicit in the Logos of the Universe.
