I've long believed order is implicit in life without needing a hierarchical external power. Hierarchical external power typically gets in the way of natural order in life. I think of myself as empowered through others in the sense of empowered through the interrelationship and combination of me and others. I don't think of my doing whatever it is I do for the other's sake. I think of my action being for my sake and fortunately the other sometimes benefits. For me, grace is a gift. I have some control regarding my action but not regarding if or how synergy occurs as my energy and that of another combine and work together. I see synergy as grace because it is a gift.
