There has been a lot of talk online about
how Hyperianism is this new ideology that
has seemingly appeared fully developed out
of nowhere by one person.
There's nothing farther from the truth.
We are a collective of individuals who draw
upon years and years of accumulated knowledge
and we are attempting to utilize this knowledge
to change ourselves and society as a whole.
Hyperianism proper is something very new,
however.
On the outside, it appears as if it arose
out of nowhere fully formed.
But, appearances never hold truth rather,
they conceal truth.
So, what lies beneath the surface of this
system?
One thing is for sure, the sheer vast amounts
of information covered in our system could
never be conceived of, or synthesized by any
one person.
So, lets dispel that misconception right now.
In this video we're going to briefly cover
the beginnings of our system as they appeared
in the ancient Greek philosophers and earlier.
But before we dig into this, I want to give
you some background information.
Hyperianism stems from an age old wisdom tradition
going back thousands of years.
The system of knowledge that comprises it
takes its starting point from the greatest
minds and ideas in history.
We absolutely do not draw from the half baked
nonsense of prophets, gurus, or saints.
As Hyperians, we look to only those in history
who have shined the brightest and who, through
their merit, have changed the way we understand
the world for the better.
The individuals who have advanced this system
did not, however, come up with this material
out of thin air either, rather it has been
deduced and revealed over time.
Over thousands of years, this system has evolved
and perfected itself to incorporate all the
cutting-edge knowledge available at the time.
It has never remained stagnant unlike all
of the petrified belief systems in the world
today.
Some may think that this means our system
has just made itself up as it goes alone.
Again, nothing is farther from the truth.
In deductive logic, as long as the premises
are correct, it doesn't matter what contingent
details follow.
(if you haven't already, I would check out
the video on our website titled “deductive
and inductive logic along with Morgue's video
on the same subject) if you'd like to learn
more).
So, we hold that true knowledge of the nature
of reality is had through deductive reasoning.
As long as the original premise is correct,
it doesn't matter what conclusion is reached.
As truth, it is universal and true for all
eternity, hence the outer layer it takes must
always be updated with the advent of new discoveries,
for it is a category error to assume progress
can ever outpace the truth itself.
The precise nature of truth is that it can
always evolve and adapt itself, and this is
what Hyperianism has done.
It has gone under many different names and
guises reflecting the needs and sentiments
of the times.
What was a useful representation 2,000 years
doesn't necessarily resonate with moderns
and vice versa.
Now, in the 21st century, our system has reached
a climax in development and understanding
due to cutting-edge mathematics and science.
Before philosophy and cutting-edge mathematics
and science, early wise men and women used
myth to get across general truths.
Nowadays, myth is usually synonymous with
something false, but the ancients didn't view
it that way.
Myths were symbolic representations of archetypal
motifs.
The ancients didn't literally think the goddess
Aphrodite, for instance, was an actual being
rather she represented something internal
within the psyche or an archetypal pattern
present In the human soul.
Myth was the vehicle used to contain kernels
of truth because humans evolved to process
the world better using stories rather than
logic.
This doesn't take much to see.
We evolved to process stories better because
stories are what help a social group to maintain
cohesion and, ultimately, survive, and stories
shield people from the harshness of objective
reality (and i'm sure we all can attest to
that one way or another).
Evolution equipped us with the proper tools
for survival rather than the proper tools
to understand the universe.
It is only because of smart people that we
have been able to transcend our limited nature
through Reason and tap into the eternal mathematical
forms of existence which transcend mere story
telling.
The problem with hiding truth in myth is that
myth is always open to interpretation and
can easily be misconstrued.
That is why over the centuries (as mankind
has grown in knowledge and understanding)
the rational kernels of truth hidden beneath
the surface of myth have been expounded upon
philosophically, mathematically, and scientifically.
What is little known and actually mostly forgotten
is that the origins of the Western world view
originated in ancient mystical schools of
revealed wisdom.
In a sense, they can be considered the ancient
womb of the western mind.
Within these schools were the germs of all
of western knowledge that has so greatly effected
every one of our lives.
Now, many people hold the belief that knowledge
has progressed in a linear movement from the
past to the present, the past being negated
and false while the present being more true.
The truth is, knowledge develops dialectically
meaning the core insights aren't necessarily
refuted rather they're improved upon and preserved
at the same time.
These ancient schools were highly secretive
and were not open to the public.
They practiced what is known as initiation
and had different levels, or degrees in which
the initiate rose through culminating in revealed
knowledge as to the true nature of reality.
They practiced rituals, aceticism, libertinism
as well as intellectual contemplation.
These schools taught that the soul fell from
its pristine unity with the divine and became
chained to a body.
The body has caused the soul to forget its
eternal and divine essence.
Only through purification and remembrance
can the soul liberate itself, leave the confines
of the body and return to its source.
The most famous of these initiatic schools
were the ancient Egyptian mystery schools,
the Eleusinian Mysteries of ancient greece,
and the mystical religion known as Orphism.
It is well known and documented that the original
Greek philosophers traveled extensively to
Egypt to be initiated into their schools of
wisdom.
This is no accident.
Much of Greek philosophy was a rationalization
of the insights gained in the highly secretive
and trans formative rites of these mystery
schools.
The intellectuals of the Greek enlightenment
revered these mystery schools as being repositories
of arcane knowledge.
The religion of Orphism was also highly revered
by the intellectuals at the time and subsequently
influenced all of western thought.
The Orphics were a counter-culture religious
movement in ancient Greece that differed greatly
from the religious status quo of the time.
They preached that the soul was the prison
of the body and the transmigration of souls
which was very radical compared to the traditional
greek religion based on the writings attributed
to Homer.
The orphic movement can be considered the
ancient equivalent of the 1960's counter culture.
The key insights of the Orphics were adopted
by the Greek philosopher Pythagoras.
The ancient Greek mathematician who coined
the term philosopher “meaning lover of wisdom”
was a man named Pythagoras.
Pythagoras lived in Egypt for many years studying
with the most learned men of the time.
When Pythagoras returned from Egypt, he began
a school that was the precursor to the ancient
Greek Academy led by Plato and his successor
Aristotle.
In this school was taught Pythagoras' highly
original and influential synthesis of the
mystery traditions of Egypt and Greece along
with the core insights of Orphism.
Even Plato and Aristotle were initiates of
the mystery schools and Plato himself paraphrased
Orphism throughout his works.
The great philosopher Plato was highly influenced
by Pythaogras and was even initiated into
his school for a short period of time before
being expelled for violating their strict
code of secrecy.
From Plato and his academy came many of the
greatest intellectual giants in history who
have shaped the western mind down to this
day.
As you can see, the development of Hyperianism
is one of constant expansion, development,
and sophistication.
The original insights as to the nature of
reality were communicated through myth as
that was the only known available method for
disseminating information.
The core insights of these myths were taught
and ritually practiced in the various mystery
schools.
Through the ancient Greek philosophers and
scientists, those core insights were expanded
upon and developed into advanced mathematics,
physics, logic and the list goes on.
We owe all our of our modern advancements
to the Greeks.
Thanks to them, wisdom rose out of the hazy
and undefined realm of myth and developed
into an exact science.
So, the origins of the Western mind and world
view were originally highly spiritual in nature
and we moderns have lost touch with that.
Originally, the spiritual dimension of existence
was not incommensurate with science and the
two grew intertwined.
It has only been in our age of materialism
and nihilism that the west has forgotten its
roots in the search for the scientific explanation
of not only the material world, but also the
realm beyond it.
Luckily, despite the complete take over of
scientific materialism, there exists an underground
stream of intellectuals who have kept the
original scientific spirit alive.
Hyperianism is all about bringing the spiritual
nature of reality back into the scientific
spirit by showing that it never really went
anywhere, it was just buried underneath mankind's
limited understanding.
And we can prove this using cutting edge mathematics
and science.
Hyperianism is keeping the flames of the soul
of mankind burning during this uncertain time
of materialism nihilism and narcissism.
We are the missing link in the Golden Chain
of wisdom that stretches back thousands of
years and as the rightful heirs of this wisdom
it will be through our system that humanity
progresses in ways we can't even begin to
imagine.
