Natural Order and States of Meditation

Natural Order

*The natural order is known as probably THE most important aspect of cultivation.

**It is split into two branches. Mortal Endowment and Natural Enlightenment.

***Mortal Endowment has two branches of its own. The first are the Elements, referring to fire, water, etc, and the second are Birthed Phenomena. This second aspect refers to branches of cultivation created by humans and accepted by the heavens. These include the way of the sword, spear, fist, etc.

***Natural Enlightenment was far more enigmatic. A person who gains understanding of this kind of Natural Order could pull from nature to supplement their cultivation and power. This could be anything from the concept of soft clouds, to the relentlessness of rain, or to the steadiness of a mountain. All of these are forms of Natural Enlightenment.
