Almost all great civilizations had their own rulers who were believed to be the sons of the Gods, right? The Chinese emperor, the Egyptian pharaoh, the Japanese Emperor, among others. So who was the first? I was just thinking about this and how it relates to our society today. I guess what I'm saying is, the First Ones, appointed these wise men as representatives of the Holy, the Landlords of the Divine, who was supposed to look after Their chosen race.
I remember a Chinese Legend long ago about an emperor who was supposedly like a puppet king for the real ruler, who is a fire dragon. Well, seems like crazy, but think about it. All around the world the immortals passed their kingdoms to the humans, but as history tells it, Feudalism failed.
But isn't it interesting that almost all kingdoms use Feudalism as basis for their system? The Chinese Empire was by far the best in applying this, where their people fear and humbly respect their emperor above all else.
But, like all the civilizations in the world, the representative of the Divine lost their power over their people, not because of their lack of knowledge or resources. The first few centuries, their rule was absolute. But as time passed, they lost their divinity, not just the people's belief in their divinity, but their actual divinity, the ones that their Ancestors passed on to them. And so having lost their credibility as the descendants of the Divine, they too doubted themselves and regarded themselves as mortals.
Which is why we now allow ourselves to be ruled by our selected Government Officials, each country divided among the others, even amongst themselves.
So the representatives failed.
But think about it, seriously, what if the Divine Being did come at this age and time, would you submit to him and accept him as your Ruler?
What if they decided that since they were the Original Rulers, and since the first thrones were theirs, would you yield to their command?
Maybe you won't, and for good reasons. But what about the others???
"Empires fall, there are no exceptions."
Not anymore...
