Interesting the modern corporations are going to a more networked
rather than a hierarchical approach for organization.
Hierarchies were a human social construction for centuries -
networked organizations, "virtual corporations", etc.  seem to be
a new thing for human societies (at least to the extent that is
now occuring).

Perhaps the early Theosophists perceived the "spiritual" world in
that fashion because that is how they conceived of it - people do
tend to filter their views of reality based on their
understanding.
