Hierarchy is the enemy of Truth

The concept of hierarchy inherently carries a significant risk: the potential for corruption. As long as we view all humans as equals —which, indeed, we are— we can scrutinize each other and dismantle corrupt behaviors with transparency and directness. However, when hierarchies are established, those positioned above are often shielded from such scrutiny (and in the end even have the power to dictate what people know of Truth).

In the intricate fabric of our modern society, hierarchies play an essential role in certain domains. Yet, we have lost sight of our origins and identities, now accepting hierarchical structures as a given and submitting to authority as if it were our natural inclination. It bears repeating: everyone is fundamentally equal. There is no such thing as a „natural hierarchy.“ While certain tasks require leadership and some individuals may possess greater strength or intelligence, these attributes do not inherently confer greater importance or value. Even in nature, where systems like pecking orders exist, each member —like every chicken— is of equal value.

Our misunderstanding of hierarchy is profound. It is not a natural law, nor is it a permanent fixture, and it never has been. Hierarchies are meant to be temporary and adaptable. Without change, hierarchies become breeding grounds for corruption.

To truly effect change in our world, we must develop systems that resist corruption as robustly as possible. This requires a redistribution of power, ensuring no single entity holds dominion but rather that power is shared collectively. Truth, which reflects our shared reality, is the common thread uniting us and the foundational framework for our survival.

The Order of Truth eschews traditional leadership in favor of fostering human development into considerate, responsible, and resilient beings capable of harmonious coexistence —both with each other and with the other species sharing our planet. Current communities and systems fall short in this regard. Although the term „Order“ might initially sound paradoxical, its structure holds great promise for becoming a viable global model.
