Every participant in the human experience is programmed to create a hierophant. By its nature, every hierophant is false but it is an important learning tool to provide us with specific experiences that allow us to fulfill our purpose in creation. Regrettably, hierophants are the source of all stress and suffering, and until we assume responsibility for the evolution of our consciousness, we will continue to perpetually create more stress and suffering. Healing the hierophant results in greater happiness and the discovery of our authentic self.
