Patriarchy and Succession
Here at BCC Institute, a patriarchy is not defined as a group of men running the world. The masculine power of knowing and wielding light can emanate from a biological male or female.
The patriarchy is the mind of any organization of humanity with its masculine, feminine and unified compartments.
In an ideal world, a system of patriarchy would renew itself and train its next leaders by the structure and design of the system itself. Fraternities and secret societies attempt this with hazings and ritualized suffering to weed out the uncommitted and make more valuable the secrets at the core of that belief system and patriarchy. On the downside, succession becomes self-referential and the original focus of the system becomes staying alive, instead of its original purpose and service.
