This is the fifth chapter in book 01: Book 01. Chapter 05. Departmental Kings of Nature. This chapter looks at the practice of Kings as priests that rule over the elements through departments, with power being distributed compared to one king ruling all, building off the ideas from the last chapter, where humans were taken as gods in the supernatural sense, and ruled others through superstition and fear of punishment
Much of this course puts emphasis on Natural Law and the gradual process by kingdoms, religions, state, of stripping the individual of his/her inherent nature and full potential, in return for an obedience to religion/state through fear and superstition
