THE DAWN OF HAYK (THE HIGHER SELF) THE ARCHE OF PATRIARCHY
The Sun, The Light, and the Mirror. Metaphors for Light
Light is a metaphor for that which allows us to see, and to know, and to understand: who we are, who everyone else is, and what we are all doing here.- “A light in the mirror” – This metaphor compares light to a reflection or copy of something else, often used to describe self-awareness or self-reflection.
- “A beacon of light” – This metaphor refers to light as a guiding force, shining brightly to lead the way.
- “A ray of light” – This metaphor compares light to a thin beam or shaft, often used to describe moment of enlightenment or understanding.
- “The light at the end of the tunnel” – This metaphor represents hope and optimism, suggesting that a difficult situation will eventually come to an end and be replaced by a brighter future.
- “A light in the darkness” – This metaphor compares light to a source of hope and comfort in times of hardship or uncertainty.
- “A shining light” – This metaphor describes light as a source of brightness and radiance, often used to describe someone who is a positive influence or role model.
- “A guiding light” – This metaphor refers to light as a source of direction or guidance, helping to lead the way forward.
- “A light in the storm” – This metaphor compares light to a source of calm and stability in the midst of chaos or adversity.
- “A light on the horizon” – This metaphor represents hope and the potential for a better future, suggesting that something positive and promising is on the horizon.
- “A light in the shadows” – This metaphor compares light to a source of clarity and understanding in the midst of confusion or uncertainty.
- “A light in the sky” – This metaphor describes light as a celestial or divine presence, often used to describe something that is awe-inspiring or otherworldly.
- “A light in the distance” – This metaphor compares light to something that is far off but still visible, often used to describe a goal or destination that is within reach.
- “A spark of light” – This metaphor compares light to a small, bright burst of energy, often used to describe a moment of insight or creativity.
- “A flash of light” – This metaphor compares light to a sudden, bright burst, often used to describe a moment of clarity or realization.
- “A burst of light” – This metaphor compares light to a sudden explosion or eruption of brightness, often used to describe something that is sudden and intense.
- “A burst of sunshine” – This metaphor compares light to a source of warmth and cheer, often used to describe something that is uplifting or positive.
- “A light in the fog” – This metaphor compares light to a source of clarity and visibility in the midst of confusion or obscurity.
- “A light in the smoke” – This metaphor compares light to a source of clarity and visibility in the midst of chaos or confusion.
- “A light in the clouds” – This metaphor compares light to something that is ethereal or otherworldly, often used to describe something that is difficult to grasp or understand.
- “A light in the ashes” – This metaphor compares light to a source of hope and renewal in the aftermath of destruction or loss.
- “A light in the cave” – This metaphor compares light to a source of illumination and understanding in the midst of darkness or ignorance.
- A mirror is a useful analogy for understanding the function and the unity of the messengers and manifestations is the relationship between sunlight and a mirror.
If we think of each of the manifestations as a distinctly perfect reflection of sunlight, we can appreciate that each is capable of conveying to us flawlessly all the visual attributes of the sun. Consequently, the sun need not descend to Earth, nor even shine upon the Earth directly, for us to receive its bounties.
Each manifestation reflects the same light from the same source. Yet because each manifestation of the light – such as Hayk, Buddha, Moses, Christ, Muhammad – appears at a distinct time in a distinct persona, we understandably view them as distinct sources of guidance. In reality, the light they bring is the same light from the same source.
Hayk a primal Mirrors which reflect the light of unfading glory, was an expressions of Him Who is othewise the Unknowable and Invisible. By the revelation of the gems of divine virtue all His attributes, such as knowledge and power, sovereignty and dominion, mercy and wisdom, glory, bounty and grace, are made manifest in Language.
From this analogy we can also appreciate the axiom that each of these sequential “mirrors” are equally capable of reflecting all of the Creations divine attributes with whatever intensity they wish. That each prophet and messenger “illumines” humanity only to the extent that we are capable of receiving that light at a given historical context can be attributed to their infinite wisdom as divine educators.
Because prophets and manifestations are perfect mirrors, the attributes of God are manifest in them as completely and flawlessly as if they were God incarnate – and yet each is careful to inform us he is not God. If the light shining from the sun is completely and immaculately reflected in a perfectly-polished mirror, we can appreciate why the followers might be tempted to deify the mirror itself – the manifestation – or conclude that the light they see there is God incarnate.
The difference between Bel and Hayk is that one claims to be God and the other simply a guiding light. It is precisely for this reason that the prophets and manifestations emphasize time and again to their followers that while they constitute the channel through which the believer can gain access to God, they are distinct from the essence of Creator. They are his dutiful servants, and by no means His peer or co-partner.
To shed some more light, some new insight and perspective on the role of light in the Armenian language and culture in general I will provide you with a greater appreciation for how the use of light as a metaphor in language has been and still is a powerful and enduring symbol that has inspired countless cultures throughout history. Whether used to describe hope, guidance, clarity, or beauty, these metaphors for light serve as a reminder of the many ways in which light touches our lives directly and shapes our experience of life.
Under clear weather conditions, civil twilight approximates the limit at which solar illumination suffices for the human eye to clearly distinguishterrestrial objects. Enough illumination renders artificial sources unnecessary for most outdoor activities. At civil dawn and at civil dusk sunlight clearly defines the horizon while the brightest stars and planets can appear. As observed from the Earth (see apparent magnitude), sky-gazers know Venus, the brightest planet, as the "morning star" or "evening star" because they can see it during civil twilight. wilight is defined according to the solar elevation angle θs, which is the position of the geometric center of the Sun relative to the horizon. There are three established and widely accepted subcategories of twilight: civil twilight (nearest the horizon), nautical twilight, and astronomical twilight (farthest from the horizon).

HAYK IS THE FOCAL POINT OF REFLECTED LIGHT, THE LIGHT THAT BREAKS THROUGH FROM DAWN, FROM THE LIVING SPIRIT OF DAWN. HAYK REPRESAENTS THE Reflection of light thus the first direct light of the sun following the DAWN. FROM THE SUMEROAKKADIAN WORD AYA FOR DAWN THE ARMENIAN AYK FOR DAWN WITH THE ASPIRATE HAS THE PREFIX THAT RISES ABOVE THE HORIZON.
Holding a mirror or being a mirror (afocal point an axis mundi, Ki in Sumerian) facing looking at the sun the light will be reflected though dissipate and reach back to the sun in 8 minutes and 20 seconds.
Sunrise is the time in the morning when the sun first appears in the sky. Synonyms: dawn, daybreak, break of day, daylight. Reflection occurs when incoming solar radiation bounces back from an object or surface that it strikes in the atmosphere, on land, or water, and is not transformed into heat.
Orion (Ὠρίων), one of the Titans of Greek mythology, provided the archetype of the primordial hunter in Greek culture. In modern interpretations Orion ("mountain man" if the name is truly Greek)(warden) exists on three mythic planes.
Homer and Hesiod,
Orion is mentioned in the oldest surviving works of Greek literature, which probably date back to the 7th or 8th century BC, but which are the products of an oral tradition with origins several centuries earlier. In Homer's Iliad Orion is described as a constellation, and the star Sirius is mentioned as his dog.[3] In the Odyssey, Orion is essentially the pinnacle of human excellence in hunting: Odysseus sees him hunting in the underworld with a bronze club, a great slayer of animals. In some legends Orion claims to be able to hunt any animal in existence. He is also mentioned as a constellation, as the lover of the Goddess Dawn, as slain by Artemis, and as the most handsome of the earthborn.[4] In the Works and Days of Hesiod, Orion is also a constellation, one whose rising and setting with the sun is used to reckon the year.
The 'dawn' is the first show of light, the beginning of the increasing light. The dawn is the light with which we begin to see, to perceive, toJoseph Fontenrose wrote Orion: the Myth of the Hunter and the Huntress (1981) to show Orion as the type specimen of a variety of grotesque hero. Fontenrose views him as similar to Cúchulainn, that is, stronger, larger, and more potent than ordinary men and the violent lover of the Divine Huntress; other heroes of the same type are Actaeon, Leucippus (son of Oenomaus), Cephalus, Teiresias, and Zeus as the lover of Callisto. Fontenrose also sees Eastern parallels in the figures of Aqhat, Attis, Dumuzi, Gilgamesh, Dushyanta, and Prajapati (as pursuer of Ushas).
In The Greek Myths (1955), Robert Graves views Oenopion as his perennial Year-King, at the stage where the king pretends to die at the end of his term and appoints a substitute, in this case Orion, who actually dies in his place. His blindness is iconotropy from a picture of Odysseus blinding the Cyclops, mixed with a purely Hellenic solar legend: the Sun-hero is captured and blinded by his enemies at dusk, but escapes and regains his sight at dawn, when all beasts flee him. Graves sees the rest of the myth as a syncretism of diverse stories. These include Gilgamesh and the Scorpion-Men, Set becoming a scorpion to kill Horus and the story of Aqhat and Yatpan from Ras Shamra, as well as a conjectural story of how the priestesses of Artemis Opis killed a visitor to their island of Ortygia. He compares Orion's birth from the bull's hide to a West African rainmaking charm and claims that the son of Poseidon should be a rainmaker.

– Chinese proverb
Higher self is a term associated with multiple belief systems, but its basic premise describes an eternal, omnipotent, conscious, and intelligent being, who is one's real self. Blavatsky formally defined the higher self as "Atma the inseparable ray of the Universe and one self. It is the God above, more than within, us". Each and every individual has a Higher self.
The Higher Self is generally regarded as a form of being only to be recognized in a union with a divine source. In recent years the New Age faith has encouraged the idea of the Higher Self in contemporary culture, though the notion of the Higher Self has been interpreted throughout numerous historical spiritual faiths. Some denominations believe that the higher self is a part of an individual's metaphysical identity, while others teach that the higher self is essentially our tie to the heavens. Similar to the notion of the soul, the higher self can be defined by many different sects, while also being a topic of interest in the scientific and philosophical fields.
Higher consciousness is the consciousness of a god or "the part of the human mind that is capable of transcending animal instincts".[1] While the concept has ancient roots, dating back to the Bhagavad Gita and Indian Vedas, it was significantly developed in German idealism, and is a central notion in contemporary popular spirituality, including the New Age movement.
THE ARMENIA ENDONYM HAY PRONOUNCED AS IN ENGLISH 'HIGH' SIGNIFIES AN ARMENIAN.
WHEN THE WORD IS BROKEN DOWN TO ITS ROOT PHONEMES H* WHICH REPRESENTS THE BREATH/SPIRIT AND THE DIPHTHONG AI* WHICH REPRESENTS THE COMMON SOUL IT FORMES A COMPOUND WORD WHICH I OFFER REPRESENTS 'THE LIVING SPIRIT WITHIN THE COLLECTIVE SOUL.'
HAYK IS THE NAME OF THE FOREFATHER, THE PROGENITOR OF THE HAY, THUS I OFFER THAT IT SIGNIFIES THE INDIVIDUAL LIVING SPIRIT WITHIN THE SOUL. HAIK IN A SENSE IS THE AXIS MUNDI OF THE HAY.
Spirit soul and higher self.
To explain the difference between soul, spirit and the higher self. Physically we live in a linear reality. This gives us ‘cause and effect’ and ‘polarity,’ tools for the growth and expansion of our human consciousness. The soul first knows itself as Self and as self soul grows, it connects with the truth, in the of process of developing, identity/ego no longer holds any true meaning, no longer serves the daily fear and illusions of loss and separation. When the Self knows its Oneness with all life it has arrived at the ultimate reality, that all time occupies the same moment, thus the self attempts to live in the eternal moment, or rather the soul moves in and out of linear time as part of it flows, this is the ontological process.
Hay in the Armenian language is the word that signifies the 'Higher Self', the one that knows its Oneness with all life, the one that has arrived at the realization of the ultimate reality, that all time occupies the same moment. Hayk is the 'Higher Self' the individual that lives in and leads the collective Soul the Hay (that is forgetful) HAY and Hayk signify the Higher Self.
Trust in the Higher Self is the calling. Trust that the eternal Being you truly are has the intelligence to deal with anything that comes into your life. Be the author of the book of your life. Trust that you like Hayk are a magnificent, metaphysical, multidimensional, eternal Being of Love and Light. This is the Truth. Trust it.
The soul whom you are is the growth of the individualisation of spirit. In all life there is spirit. All spirit is one. We are spiritual Beings. In every moment of our lives we are expressing spirit. Spiritually, we are one with all life, with every creature. All life form, all Nature is an expression or inspiration and expiration of spirit, the same spirit is expresses in one and all.
Through spirit we are connected to everything. When soul withdraws from the body, spirit remains with soul, for just as soul is an expression of spirit, so is body an expression of soul. Spirit cannot die, life cannot die.
Consciousness, spirit/soul and the physical body.
I believe the signifier of the concept of the 'living spirit/soul' within the Armenian language was 'Hay' The belief of the original group who shared the Armenian language believed the living spirit resided within the soul and that the soul was animated by the breath and that soul was inherently good when in the pursuit of truth.
Both the word Hay and Hayk signify "The hearth" where a living spirit, (metaphor for fire) resides within a living human soul, (metaphor for fire/water)fire and is, through the breath and the mind connected to the spirit of nature of the world, always interacting between the inner and outer individual or collective natural soul.
According to classical sources, the ancient Celts were animists. They honoured the forces of nature, saw the world as inhabited by many spirits, and saw the Divine manifesting in aspects of the natural world. Animism (from Latin: anima, 'breath, spirit, life') is the belief that objects, places, and creatures all possess a distinct spiritual essence. Potentially, animism perceives all things—animals, plants, rocks, rivers, weather systems, human handiwork, and perhaps even words—as animated and alive. Animism is used in the anthropology of religion as a term for the belief system of many Indigenous peoples.Although each culture has its own different mythologies and rituals, animism is said to describe the most common, foundational thread of indigenous peoples' "spiritual" or "supernatural" perspectives. The animistic perspective is so widely held and inherent to most indigenous peoples that they often do not even have a word in their languages that corresponds to "animism" (or even "religion"); the term is an anthropological construct.
Largely due to such ethnolinguistic and cultural discrepancies, opinion has differed on whether animism refers to an ancestral mode of experience common to indigenous peoples around the world, or to a full-fledged religion in its own right. The currently accepted definition of animism was only developed in the late 19th century (1871) by Sir Edward Tylor. It is "one of anthropology's earliest concepts, if not the first".
Animism encompasses the beliefs that all material phenomena have agency, that there exists no categorical distinction between the spiritual and physical (or material) world and that soul or spirit or sentience exists not only in humans but also in other animals, plants, rocks, geographic features such as mountains or rivers or other entities of the natural environment: water sprites, vegetation deities, tree spirits, etc. Animism may further attribute a life force to abstract concepts such as words, true names, or metaphors in mythology. Some members of the non-tribal world also consider themselves animists (such as author Daniel Quinn, sculptor Lawson Oyekan, and many contemporary Pagans)
Light is energy. It propagates like a wave (electromagnetic) and as a particle (photon) as well.
Human soul is no where in the body or in a particular place but exists as energy in each and every cells (32 Trillion) of the body.
Human body temperature is 37 degree centigrade. To maintain this body temperature, body works by evaporating body water.
Light energy contains heat energy, that is thermal energy which supports the soul energy. Light gives life to the body and soul.
Yes, light has effect on human soul. Sun light is cosmic energy and the soul is a part of this cosmic energy.
Lexical-phonological patterns
The sound system of a language is composed of a finite set of simple syllabic phonological items. Under the specific phonotactic rules of a given language, these items can be recombined and concatenated, giving rise to morphology and the open-ended lexicon. A key feature of language is that a simple, finite set of phonological items gives rise to an infinite lexical system wherein rules determine the form of each item, and meaning is inextricably linked with form. Phonological syntax, then, is a simple combination of pre-existing phonological units. Related to this is another essential feature of human language: lexical syntax, wherein pre-existing units are combined, giving rise to semantically novel or distinct lexical items. Phonotactics (from Ancient Greek phōnḗ "voice, sound" and tacticós, also spelled/known as taktikós "having to do with arranging")[ is a branch of phonology that deals with restrictions in a language on the permissible combinations of phonemes. Phonotactics defines permissible syllable structure, consonant clusters and vowel sequences by means of phonotactic constraints.Duality (of Patterning): a large number of meaningful elements are made up of a conveniently small number of independently meaningless yet message-differentiating elements.
Natural science
Is one of the branches of science concerned with the description, understanding and prediction of natural phenomena, based on empirical evidence from observation and experimentation. Mechanisms such as peer review and repeatability of findings are used to try to ensure the validity of scientific advances.
Natural science can be divided into two main branches: life science and physical science. Life science is alternatively known as biology, and physical science is subdivided into branches: physics, chemistry, earth science, and astronomy. These branches of natural science may be further divided into more specialized branches (also known as fields). As empirical sciences, natural sciences use tools from the formal sciences, such as mathematics and logic, converting information about nature into measurements which can be explained as clear statements of the "laws of nature".
Functionalism sees functionality of language and its elements to be the key to understanding linguistic processes and structures. Functional theories of language propose that since language is fundamentally a tool, it is reasonable to assume that its structures are best analyzed and understood with reference to the functions they carry out. These include the tasks of conveying meaning and contextual information.
Functional theories of grammar belong to structural and humanistic linguistics, considering language as a rational human construction. They take into account the context where linguistic elements are used and study the way they are instrumentally useful or functional in the given environment. This means that pragmatics is given an explanatory role, along with semantics. The formal relations between linguistic elements are assumed to be functionally-motivated. Functionalism is sometimes contrasted with formalism, but this does not exclude functional theories from creating grammatical descriptions that are generative in the sense of formulating rules that distinguish grammatical or well-formed elements from ungrammatical elements.
In the functional paradigm a language is in the first place an instrument of social interaction between two beings. My attempt to reveal the instrumentality of the Armenian language with respect to how the inventor achieved the task.
Social constructionism is a theory in sociology, social ontology, which deals with examining the various entities in the world arising from social interaction of which There are two kinds of social entities: social individuals and social complexes or collectives and communication theory which proposes that there are certain kinds of facts which, rather than depending on reality itself, instead depend on the shared ways of thinking about and representing the world that groups of people develop collaboratively. The theory centers on the notion that meanings are developed in coordination with others rather than separately by each individual. It has often been characterised as neo-Marxian or also as a neo-Kantian theory, in that social constructionism replaces the transcendental subject with a concept of society that is at the same time descriptive and normative. While some social constructs are obvious, for instance money or the concept of currency, in that people have agreed to give it importance/value, others are controversial and hotly debated, such as the concept of self/self-identity. This articulates the view that people in society construct ideas or concepts that may not exist without the existence of people or language to validate those concepts.
Empiricism emphasizes the role of empirical evidence in the formation of ideas, rather than innate, ideas from within or traditions. skepticism (the theory that certain knowledge is impossible).
Historically, empiricism was associated with the "blank slate" concept (tabula rasa), according to which the human mind is "blank" at birth and develops its thoughts only through experience.
phenomena or sensory stimuli (e.g. redness, hardness, softness, sweetness, etc.) situated in time and in space. In particular, some forms of phenomenalism reduce all talk about physical objects in the external world to talk about bundles of sense data.
THE INVENTION OF LANGUAGE STRUCTURALISM IS NOT Sense Data Consider a reflection which appears to us in a mirror. There is nothing corresponding to the reflection in the world external to the mind (for our reflection appears to us as the image of a human being apparently located inside a wall, or a wardrobe). The appearance is therefore a mental object, a sense datum. Abstract and imaginary sense data are key to understanding abstract art's relationship with the conscious and unconscious mind.
The theory of sense data is a view in the philosophy of perception, popularly held in the early 20th century by philosophers such as Bertrand Russell, C. D. Broad, H. H. Price, A. J. Ayer, and G. E. Moore. Sense data are taken to be mind-dependent objects whose existence and properties are known directly to us in perception. These objects are unanalysed experiences inside the mind, which appear to subsequent more advanced mental operations exactly as they are.
Sense data are often placed in a time and/or causality series, such that they occur after the potential unreliability of our perceptual systems yet before the possibility of error during higher-level conceptual analysis and are thus incorrigible. They are thus distinct from the 'real' objects in the world outside the mind, about whose existence and properties we often can be mistaken.
Talk of sense-data has since been largely replaced by talk of the closely related qualia. The formulation the given is also closely related. None of these terms has a single coherent and widely agreed-upon definition, so their exact relationships are unclear. One of the greatest troubling aspects to 20th century theories of sense data is its unclear rubric nature.

The mind–body problem is a paradigmatic issue in philosophy of mind.
Sellars's idea of "myth", heavily influenced by Ernst Cassirer, is not necessarily negative. He saw it as something that can be useful or otherwise, rather than true or false. He aimed to unite the conceptual behavior of the "space of reasons" with the concept of a subjective sense experience. This was one of his most central goals, which his later work described as Kantian. Perceptual conceptualism, in contemporary philosophy.
In contemporary times, Edmund Husserl's philosophy of mathematics has been construed as a form of conceptualism.
Conceptualist realism (a view put forward by David Wiggins in 1980) states that our conceptual framework maps reality.
Mind and World by John McDowell in 1994. McDowell's touchstone is the famous refutation that Wilfrid Sellars provided for what he called the "Myth of the Given"—the notion that all empirical knowledge is based on certain assumed or 'given' items, such as sense data. Thus, in rejecting the Myth of the Given, McDowell argues for perceptual conceptualism, according to which perceptual content is conceptual "from the ground up", that is, all perceptual experience is a form of conceptual experience. McDowell's philosophy of justification is considered a form of foundationalism: it is a form of foundationalism because it allows that certain judgements are warranted by experience and it is a coherent form of this view because it maintains that experience can warrant certain judgements because experience is irreducibly conceptual.
Pragmatism is a philosophical tradition that considers words and thought as tools and instruments for prediction, problem solving, and action, and rejects the idea that the function of thought is to describe, represent, or mirror reality. Pragmatists contend that most philosophical topics—such as the nature of knowledge, language, concepts, meaning, belief, and science—are all best viewed in terms of their practical uses and successes.
Pragmatism began in the United States in the 1870s. Its origins are often attributed to the philosophers Charles Sanders Peirce, William James, and John Dewey. In 1878, Peirce described it in his pragmatic maxim: "Consider the practical effects of the objects of your conception. Then, your conception of those effects is the whole of your conception of the object."
Natural science is one of the branches of science concerned with the description, understanding and prediction of natural phenomena, based on empirical evidence from observation and experimentation. Mechanisms such as peer review and repeatability of findings are used to try to ensure the validity of scientific advances.
Meteorology has ancient origins. Babylonian clay tablets record confident predictions of the weather from the appearance and location of stars. The attempt to explain terrestrial phenomena by celestial events was common to many civilizations: the weather was embedded in a conception of the cosmosMost simply put, meteorological seasons follow the annual temperature cycle, and the astronomical seasons follow the position of Earth in relation to the sun.
Natural science can be divided into two main branches: life science and physical science. Life science is alternatively known as biology, and physical science is subdivided into branches: physics, chemistry, earth science, and astronomy. These branches of natural science may be further divided into more specialized branches (also known as fields). As empirical sciences, natural sciences use tools from the formal sciences, such as mathematics and logic, converting information about nature into measurements which can be explained as clear statements of the "laws of nature".[1]
A social construct or construction is the meaning, notion, or connotation placed on an object or event by a society, and adopted by the inhabitants of that society with respect to how they view or deal with the object or event.
Social constructionism posits that phenomena do not have an independent foundation outside the mental and linguistic representation that people develop about them throughout their history, and which becomes their shared reality. From a linguistic viewpoint, social constructionism centres meaning as an internal reference within language (words refer to words, definitions to other definitions) rather than to an external reality.
A monarchy Is a form of government in which a person, the monarch, is head of state for life or until abdication. The political legitimacy and authority of the monarch may vary from restricted and largely symbolic, to fully autocratic (absolute monarchy), and can expand across the domains of the executive, legislative, and judicial.
The succession of monarchs is in almost all cases hereditary, often building dynastic periods. However, elective and self-proclaimed monarchies are possible.
Aristocrats, though not inherent to monarchies, often serve as the pool of persons to draw the monarch from and fill the constituting institutions (e.g. diet and court), giving many monarchies oligarchic elements. Monarchs can carry various titles such as emperor, empress, king, queen, raja, khan, tsar, sultan, shah, or pharaoh. Monarchies can form federations, personal unions and realms with vassals through personal association with the monarch, which is a common reason for monarchs carrying several titles.
Nobility is a social class found in some societies that have a formal aristocracy and normally ranked immediately below royalty. Nobility has often been an estate of the realm that possessed more acknowledged privilege and higher social status than most other classes in society. The privileges associated with nobility may constitute substantial advantages over or relative to non-nobles or may be largely honorary (e.g., precedence), and vary by country and by era. Membership in the nobility, including rights and responsibilities, is typically hereditary.
Membership in the nobility has historically been granted by a monarch or government, and acquisition of sufficient power, wealth, military prowess, or royal favour has occasionally enabled commoners to ascend into the nobility
Aristocracy (from Ancient Greek ἀριστοκρατίᾱ (aristokratíā), from ἄριστος (áristos) 'best', and κράτος (krátos) 'power, strength') is a form of government that places strength in the hands of a small, privileged ruling class, the aristocrats. The term derives from the Greek aristokratíā, meaning 'rule of the best'.
At the time of the word's early association with the origins, in ancient Greece, the Greeks conceived it as rule by the best-qualified citizens—and often contrasted it favorably with monarchy, rule by one, an individual. The term was first used by such ancient Greeks as Aristotle and Plato, who used it to describe themselves and a system where only the best of the citizens, chosen through a careful process of selection, would become rulers, and the hereditary rule would or should have been forbidden, unless that is the rulers' children performed best and were better endowed with the attributes that make a person fit to rule compared with every other citizen in the polity, (a given). Hereditary rule in this understanding is more related to Oligarchy, a corrupted form of Aristocracy where there is rule by a few, but not by the best. Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, Xenophon and the Spartans considered Aristocracy (the ideal form of rule by the few) to be inherently better than the ideal form of rule by the many (Democracy), but they also considered the corrupted form of Aristocracy (Oligarchy) to be worse than the corrupted form of Democracy (Mob Rule)
Oligarchy (from Greek ὀλιγαρχία (oligarkhía); said to be from ὀλίγος (olígos) 'few', and ἄρχω (arkho) 'to rule or to command' but I offer an alternative where the words are ὀλί (oli) 'all' and 'garki' an Armenian root suggesting 'by turn'. Oligarchy is a form of power structure in which power rests with a small number of people. These people must be distinguished by one or several characteristics, such as nobility, fame, wealth, education and ideally have experience in corporate, religious, political, or military control.
A deep look at the word "monarch" (Late Latin: monarchia) comes from the Ancient Greek word μονάρχης (monárkhēs), derived from μόνος (mónos, "one, single") and ἄρχω (árkhō, "to rule"): compare ἄρχων (árkhōn, "ruler, chief"). It referred to a single at least nominally absolute ruler. In current usage the word monarchy usually refers to a traditional system of hereditary rule.
The similar form of societal hierarchy known as chiefdom or tribal kingship is prehistoric. Chiefdoms provided the concept of state formation, which started with civilizations such as Mesopotamia, Ancient Egypt and the Indus Valley Civilization. In some parts of the world, chiefdoms became monarchies. Some of the oldest recorded and evidenced monarchies were Narmer, Pharaoh of Ancient Egypt c. 3100 BCE, and Enmebaragesi, a Sumerian King of Kish c. 2600 BCE.
From earliest records, monarchs could be directly hereditary, while others were elected from among eligible members. With the Egyptian, Indian,[3] Mesopotamian, Sudanic, reconstructed Proto-Indo-European religion, and others, the monarch held sacral functions directly connected to sacrifice and was sometimes identified with having divine ancestry, possibly establishing a notion of the divine right of kings.
Hyperion was, along with his son Helios, a personification of the sun, with the two sometimes identified. John Keats's abandoned epic poem Hyperion is among the literary works that feature the figure.
"Of Hyperion we are told that he was the first to understand, by diligent attention and observation, the movement of both the sun and the moon and the other stars, and the seasons as well, in that they are caused by these bodies, and to make these facts known to others; and that for this reason he was called the father of these bodies, since he had begotten, so to speak, the speculation about them and their nature."

Awake O Lord, awake to help, with grace and power divine;Awaken those who slumber now, like heaven's host to shine!
O Lord and Saviour, life-giver, unto the dead give life,And raise up those that have grown weak and stumbled in the strife!
O skilful Pilot! Lamp of light, that burnest bright and clear!Strength and assurance grant to me, now hid away in fear!
O thou that makest old things new, renew me and adorn;Rejoice me with salvation, Lord, for which I inly mourn.
Giver of good, unto my sins be thy forgiveness given!Lead thy disciples, heavenly King, unto the flocks of heaven!
Defeat the evil husbandman that soweth tares and weeds;Wither and kill in me the fruits of all his evil seeds!
O Lord, grant water to my eyes, that they may shed warm tearsTo cleanse and wash away the sin that in my soul appears!
On me now hid in shadow deep, shine forth, O glory bright!Sweet juice, quench thou my soul's keen thirst! Show me the path of light!
Jesus, whose name is love, with love crush thou my stony heart;Bedew my spirit with thy blood, and bid my griefs depart!
O thou that even in fancy art so sweet, Lord Jesus Christ,Grant that with thy reality my soul may be sufficed!
When thou shalt come again on earth, and all thy glory see,Upon that dread and awful day, O Christ, remember me!
Thou that redeemest men from sin, O Saviour, I implore,Redeem him who now praises thee, to praise thee evermore!
