King: The Sovereignty of Spiritual and Temporal Authority

The concept of "KING" serves as a linchpin in understanding the sovereignty of spiritual and temporal authority within this esoteric current. As a manifold entity, "KING" symbolizes both a monarch and a divine or supreme leadership, embodying the principles of governance and sovereignty. This duality is reflected in the relationships between "KING" and other entities, such as "HIGH PLACE," "HEIREPHANT," and "ORGANISATION." The "KING" occupies a "HIGH PLACE," a position of authority and influence, which is also held by the "POPE." This shared occupation of a "HIGH PLACE" highlights the sympathy of spiritual and temporal authority.

The "HEIREPHANT" is another crucial entity in understanding the sovereignty of spiritual and temporal authority. As a central official, the "HEIREPHANT" wields authority and responsibility over the spiritual, psychical, and physical realms, symbolized by "HEIREPHANT'S HOUSE." The "KING" derives authority and responsibility from the "HEIREPHANT," demonstrating a hierarchical structure of governance and sovereignty. This hierarchy is further reinforced by the relationship between the "KING" and "ORGANISATION," where the "KING" is individually responsible for a definite and concrete organization.

The pursuit of philosophical and spiritual wisdom is a pervasive theme within this esoteric current. The "KNIGHTS OF THE GOLDEN STONE" and "KNIGHT OF THE GOLDEN STONE" represent orders initiated by the "KING" and the rules of the alchemical process, respectively. These orders symbolize the culmination of spiritual and philosophical work, seeking to transform through a journey of seven steps, as seen in the "RITUALS OF MITHRAS." The "KNIGHTS OF THE GOLDEN STONE" are initiated with "DIVINE LIFE," a key concept in spiritual and alchemical practices, representing the life force and divine essence.

The relationship between the "POPE" and "ALCHEMICAL TAROT" further highlights the pursuit of philosophical and spiritual wisdom. The "POPE" card represents the Quintessence, a key concept in Alchemy, and is part of the Tarot Major Arcana. This connection attests to the necessity of spiritual and philosophical wisdom in the pursuit of transformation and growth.
