Spiritual monarchy (interior sovereignty, archetypal nobility, the King as inner archetype) and political voluntaryism (no coercive state, self-governance, natural order) are entirely compatible—even complementary.
The King rules himself (interior hierarchy). The Sovereign bows to no external ruler (political anarchism).
One is vertical (ascending the Great Chain, mastering the kingdom of self). The other is horizontal (voluntary association, rejection of imposed authority).
As above, so below:
- Above: Sacred hierarchy (soul rules mind rules body, Kether descends through Malkuth)
- Below: Voluntary order (no man rules another, spontaneous cooperation)
