How Nobility Mimics Mysticism

Mystics claim that noble society is an imitation of the divine order of the universe. They can provide clear correlations between the Hierarchy of the Gods and the feudal hierarchy of the realm.

Bottom up the structures are near identical. The Hierarchy of the Gods places Mimics at the bottom, followed by Demigods, Power Gods, Mandate Gods, Dominion Gods, Transcendent Gods and finally the Paramount God. Note that mystics often consider Demigod the real beginning of the hierarchy and often disdain the Mimic rank. With the exception of Transcendent Gods, which is a unique position only found in the mystical hierarchy, and understandably so because there can be no comparative rank in the feudal hierarchy of the realm, all of the other ranks can be matched to their counterpart in our noble society.

Observe. If Mimics are the very bottom, they can be matched to our form, commoner. From this the maze’s exit becomes a straight line. If Mimics are commoners, then Demigods are Nobles, Power Gods are Knights, Mandate Gods are Region Lords, Dominion Gods are Dukes and the Paramount God is inferiorly imitated by the King.

Clearly now one can sees the origin of our feudal hierarchy as a mimic of the mystical hierarchy. This is why Mysticism pejoratively names the bottom rank, humanity, as ‘mimics.’ One can even go so far to say that the feudal hierarchy is entirely contained within the Mimic position. Where the feudal hierarchy ends, the mystical one begins. Understanding this truth will help a neophyte mystic understand the Hierarchy of the Gods. The mystical hierarchy is practically identical to the feudal hierarchy.
