The hidden backstage power operates a more or less visible apparatus which serves it. As aforesaid mentioned, a hierarchical stratification has previously existed in both Western and Eastern societies, however, nowadays it can still be seen in some existing Eastern societies. In the East, hierarchy’s top position was and still is occupied by a spiritual leader, the initiated commander. Right below them were(are) the executive leaders, one level further down the executing force (soldiers), and finally the lowest level, the uninitiated persons i.e. those, who performed the ordinary tasks such as industrial- agricultural-trading activities. For example, Hindu systems specified brahmana, ksatria, vaisa, sudra orders or castes. A brahmana and eventually a ksatria could be the one, who was capable of a second, spiritual birth, which was called djiva. Please note: even these days, spiritual leaders are to be found in non-secularized Eastern societies i.e Muslim world. This should by all accounts be considered regarding the induced mass migration process of the present century. Basically speaking, in the hierarchy based societies of European kingdoms- up to approx. XIV-XV-th century up till the XIX- th century – the introduction of the so called liberal modern age- ruling order could be maintained, supported by society’s capacity of hierarchical self –regulatory consciousness. All being aware of their situation in the ruling order, and their limits.

The modern, equality based age has differentiated itself from the traditional-hierarchical era by its low spiritual content, as well as the lack of spiritual leaders and social hierarchy. From the profane point of view, modern age means intellectual limitation, confusion, unconsciousness, un-existed entities in previous hierarchical-traditional societies. At that time priority was given on the respect for spiritual and material sacrality, use of symbols, providing analogy, regarding the material and spiritual world. It may also be stated, that, regardless how modern and liberal our society is from the material point of view, so much the more it is blind to the spiritual aspect of life. Being blind however, is being unaware of the self-inflicted chaos. With the secularisation in the XV-XVI-th century, we see the onset of liberal age in Europe, spiritual leaders disappearing ever the more, only the governing executive bodies remained. Such executives were also the leaders of non-pagan Christian churches, and by focusing on actions, they developed religious dogmas and systems.

Without spirituality, no definitive answer was given regarding the meaning of life, they invented a model to be followed instead, i.e. the saints, failing to provide a key as to the different kind of saints, an explanation as to why one martyr’s death wasn’t seen as sufficient for canonization, while another martyr’s death has qualified as such. Neither was an explanation given, as to why did faith become a religion. Nothing was said about faith uniting man with the One and Only the binding cause and effect. Religion divides the two by placing itself in between, making communications between the soul and the One and Only inexplicable. The One and Only is in the heaven and we are on the hell. Nor do dogmas speak of the love’s flow and soul’s participation in the cycle of love. False information brought about the profession of faith, eventually a ruling state religion in the Roman Empire separated man from the One and Only for over a thousand year. Religious apparatus was gradually followed by the onset of secular apparatus, partly taking over not only it’s functions, but it’s wealth as well, thus the introduction of the material religion. To be able to understand this, we at least have to revert back to the Cartesian trends of a modern state, where the aim was to develop a hidden system of thoughts, whereby backstage power practices could be reliably, easily, simply performed.

The basic idea behind this system was the assumption, that human life is rational ergo it can be operated as such, like a machine, an apparatus. Denial of human’s spiritual being and sensibility led to the absolution of the mind. In their view, would there be no spirit, then there is only the mind. The mendacious rationalism corrupted life, and continues ever since, to urge our hunger for life and action. Rationalism made human existence neither clearer, truer nor more orderly, but darker, and ever more inhuman. This obscuration was named the enlightenment, whereby the mind was intentionally confused with the intellect. Rather interestingly, the church’s operating model was used by Descartes, to develop an individualistic state ruled power system, with induced, additional increase of actions, going so far as almost reaching a stage, where systems would be mechanized, self-functioning, including jurisdiction, education, military and civil services.
