Spiritual concepts
Intelligence hierarchy
All Spirit Entities can create subtypes of themselves and they are organised into a hierarchy. The following hugely simplistic diagram shows the principle of the Entity hierarchy.
The letters are Functions. The top level contains all function. At the next level down the functions have been divided, with a certain number of shared functions between each Intelligence/Entity.
Function C is a shared function, K is a shared function. At the bottom of the hierarchy you have a number of Intelligences or Spirit Beings some of which share functions and some of which do not. But at the lower level they contain only a subset of the higher levels.
Thus the top Intelligence in the hierarchy – the Ultimate Intelligence - of the hierarchy contains all Functions. The next level below this then gets a subset of function where the functions may be shared between lower Intelligences.
The ‘children’
Only at the lowest level of the hierarchy are copies of the species or class made and physical beings or things result.
If an Intelligence decides to create functional sub-types of itself, it gives up the chance to be physical anymore. This is where the ‘castration myth’ of many legends is derived from. It is also what is meant when myths talk about being ‘hobbled’. If an Intelligence symbolically has its ‘goollys’ [genitals] cut off it can’t produce copies of itself.
Thus from the Intelligence with functions A, B, C and D there may be millions of actual physical instances of this. For example, a border collie Intelligence may give its functions to millions of border collies [assuming they have the same functions]. When a species becomes extinct, no instances exist in the physical although in Intelligence terms the original package may remain.
Each Spirit Entity - Intelligence or Spirit being is effectively cloning itself when it creates a copy of the software for physical implementation.
It may be helpful to now look at Intelligences and their synonyms.
The following simple diagram shows the relative power of the various jobs – Intelligences are the most powerful, Spirit Beings are then next most powerful and Souls with their Higher spirits are the least powerful. Souls are the implemented copies of a Spirit Being or Intelligence. Souls may be bodied or not. The bodied souls are connected to a person, creature or other physically existent thing.
The part of the hierarchy which is principally of Intelligences is known as the Celestial hierarchy. The part that is principally of Beings is known as the Terrestrial hierarchy.
