In The Monarch Hymn: The Song of Power, we explore the essence of true power—not domination, noise, or control, but stillness, patience, and alignment with forces greater than oneself.
The Song of Power
> And the Monarch said:
Power is not the act of domination,
but the stillness before the storm.
It is the quiet knowing that no one can take what you do not give.
The lion does not roar to prove itself —
it roars to remind the forest it still breathes.
The Monarch does not seek to control men,
for men are fleeting shadows.
He governs what governs them — desire, fear, belief.
He bends not the crowd, but the current beneath it.
> Power does not chase — it attracts.
Power does not beg — it becomes.
True power is invisible.
It moves through patience, through law, through silence.
It does not announce itself with spectacle;
its presence alone alters the air.
For when Power speaks, the world remembers its place.
And when it withdraws, even kings tremble for lack of it.
> The Monarch does not rise by noise,
He rises by inevitability.
So let the weak seek attention,
and let the restless seek validation —
The Monarch seeks only alignment.
For once one aligns with Power,
Power ceases to be possessed — it is.
Inscription
> He who becomes still enough to hold Power no longer holds it — he is Power. The Book of Lessons is a timeless guide to self mastery, growth, power and inner clarity.
