Hierarchy
In the broadest sense, this is symbolized by the Biblical “Ladder of Jacob” and includes all degrees of aspirants to the Path of Light, conscious and unconscious. The principle of Hierarchy is the most powerful of all principles leading to the broadening of consciousness. Each manifested shifting is created by the principle of the concept of Hierarchy. Where can the spirit direct itself without the Guiding Hand? Where can the eye and heart be directed without Hierarchy, when the bestowing Hand of the Hierarch affirms the direction of destiny, when the Hand of the Hierarch determines the most propitious date and the higher energies manifest in familiar images. Wherefore, the seed of the spirit is imbued by the cosmic ray of the Hierarch. Since the highest principle contains in itself the potentiality of Fire, the pure fiery spirit of the Hierarch is asserted as the highest priniciple. Therefore, let us remember our spiritual Leaders. Thus we shall revere the law of Hierarchy. (INF II,148)
The idea of Hierarchy is a cosmic concept, a cosmic law. The Whole Universe exists, is nourished, and is supported solely by this principle.
(LHR I, p 319)
