The Natural Order

The Natural Order is one of if not the governing force behind the universe. One of it's most important roles, is that it's connected to the flow of life and death and assures that people live and die as they should. The Natural Order if it was created by God; is one if not the oldest of God's creations, even predating Heaven. The Natural Order is ultimately the only force that governs most powerful supernatural entities, even Death.

Noteable Information

 * Reapers have a connection to it. They can see a person's whole lifetime and when and how that person will die and when it is time for them to die. The Natural Order is impartial and both good and evil are subject to its power and when it's time to die, a person will and must die. Death, while being a powerful force, still like the Reapers are restricted to the Natural Order.  There are occasions when the Natural Order can be bent, such as Sam and Dean's various resurrections, though these times are risky and have the potential to cause mass destruction. As such, Death implies this is the reason he cannot or won't bring a person fully back to life due to the possible ramifications. Substitution is also possible, as one bound Reaper, was used to save several people, by making others die in their place.  If the natural order is outright disrupted, there will be consequences. Dean discovers this in  Appointment In Samarra  when he was temporarily Death as part of a deal to regain Sam's soul. When Dean refuses to reap a 12 year old girl with a heart condition, she made a miraculous recovery. This, however, creates a disruption in the flow of the universe and in order to compensate others who would have lived long lives begin to die in the girl's place. Tessa tells Dean that the longer the girl remains alive the worse it will become and more people will die around her to compensate, leaving a trail of death and misery. Tessa tfurther told Dean, in his respone to " But, I am Death. I don't know it just is."


 * Eve is also aware of this Order and claims to have an "arrangement" between the balance of killing between humans and monsters.
 * Atropos one of the fates has a role within the Natural Order. She as Fate assures how people die, and certain events are made according to how destiny is made. She states that God gave her and possibly her sisters their jobs.

Trivia

 * In Bobby Singer's Guide to Hunting, Eve herself wanted to ensure that her children also follow the Natural Order, even going to extremes as forging the dragon swords to stop her dragons, should they attempt to destroy other beings.
 * In the same book, Lethe, a pagan deity, was also shown working for Heaven. Her role was to wipe memories of people who have seen or witnessed something supernatural that they shouldn't have.
