A Pythagorean Hylozoic Aspiration began here after decades of searching through a mishmash of contextual systems, and testing each by trial and error. Too little of it would fit comprehensively-demanding situations, but qualities could be examined. My freedom of inquiry found a hard-working alternative-lifestyle, rurally, to study many things integrally, and without institutional restrictions. This exploration took the writer four decades, admitting limited guidance and references were readily available, beginning around 1968, and four decades later hylozoics was found online, in 2018. Finally a presentation with an expansive knowledge system freed all stops: Laurency & Adelskogh.

NOTE: All italicized terms on this page particularly reference these linked sources verbatim, (and can be search-engine-verified). Thanks for such abundant, humanitarian gifts! Finally an old seeker can sum up and contrast decades of self education jumpstarted anew. An old weblogger can focus on the hylozoic knowledge system with its three aspects of reality, as a crucial guide. (Consequently this page was entirely repurposed and rewritten in 2025). Almost all of the content here politely distances itself from scholasticism and institutionalism in general: The Greek term for esoterics was hylozoics. A rare attraction to understand specialized meanings became a study in progress.

With the extensive texts of hylozoics finally found, (in 2018), permission to privately-hear the hylozoic texts through mp3-headphones was immediately asked for, and conditional permission was granted by the publisher, providing that these mp3 "text to speech" renditions could not be carelessly file-shared with others, because of lacking quality assurance, like the digital verb tense miss-reads,(and better tested-accuracy would be required to faithfully satisfy all authoring expectations).

Internal care must always automatically correct such digital misreads, to ensure that the intended meaning is understood. This was a small inconvenience within the stellar scope of study, because repeated cross-referencing of meanings is invaluable. Carefully understanding Pythagorean depths does ultimately expand concentration, and also these books are meant to be read many times, literally,(and with application to one's very own development in life).

My work-life was primarily physical labor which easily allows headphone listening to occupy deeper thinking, while simultaneously doing long-familiar physical tasks, and this can make a living too. Manual labor had long been a liberation from the rejected lifestyles of consensual-institutional-indoctrination, (which arguably blocks our human evolution). Most important was a new possibility to hear hylozoics while physically doing manual labor which also provided healthy exercise by organizing, hefting and building things productively.

Independent study had generally sharpened the mind and had developed the needed mental organization to begin an understanding of discoverable, knowledgable systems. This suddenly available content so well addressed long developed inquiries about reality that a new stimulus drove life forward with improved expediency. Efficient service (to others) rather than moral nihilism (of self serving deceivers) is beautifully revealed by old Pythagreans.

Thanks to such mental and emotional boosts, an expanding panorama of tenability ensued. Could a gradual ending of a human life smoothly acquire essential qualities? Traditional, consented beliefs have irrationally repulsed consciousness development, which is only rarely questioned by daring observers, who risk a kind of social discrimination; nevertheless good observers can develop consciousness knowingly or unknowingly.

New principles (for the writer), were hypothetically rationalized as immutable laws of nature, laws of life as laws of existence. Sacrificing the conflicted, traditional illusions and fictions, to understand higher laws which can now be contemplated, and could be approached as a new objective, even as part of natural evolution. Pythagorean Hylozoics of today describes particular details of the formerly secreted Ancient Greek hylozoics, and these contrast the current openness after the long intervening ages, from the ancient to the modern. Today we can bypass the warn out forms of mishmash and focus on higher qualities.

The Twelve Essential Qualities

This twelve sided dodecahedron overhauls mythical supposition about Herculean tests. Sacrificing the old for a common sense contemplation, is a self guided work where the hefty tasks are mental exertions, and tasks which steadily enlighten the emotions which will then dutifully cooperate and energize motivations of the self, a creature, a human being who has incarnated upon the densest plane of existence called earth; and furthermore, such self guidance may ultimately fulfill the prerequisite tasks before reaching closer to the next higher evolved plane of existence. Unassumingly, we may task ourselves with any or all of these qualities as may fit situations, thanks to freedom of expression and greater thanks to path-finders before us, only the most judicious esotericians for preserving, the applicable meanings.

A quick search lists over 30 distinctive, hylozoic significances for the word esoterics, and disregarding the mysteries and other kinds of activities. The truly evolving and connected secret orders had successfully kept such details as absolute vows of silence, on pain of death, and this explains an absence for "archeological records of esoterics". The bulk of historical expertise lacks an understandings of hylozoics. Esoteric knowledge was only much later published autonomously and only after 1875 as is explained with related matters in the hylozoics links above, and just prior to that humanists and scientists had begun dispelling the dominant, church dogma, by publishing expansions of intelligence. Then in a later age online, hylozoics was published, including English translation after Y2K. Only by freer determination could these outcomes fit with the laws of life, (hylozoically speaking). Just bits of amazement are shared here with joy, by a ruralist reader, thinker and as an occasional, informal writer, and without obligatory, (dogmatic) credentials.

It is fulfilling to contemplate a bridge built for evolution, and to search for the next higher natural kingdom. Mineral to plant, then to animal, then to man and next to a fifth natural kingdom. Hylozoics explains the prehistoric derailment of this evolutional process, pending subsequent stages that followed. Here it is just barely alluded in brief: Progress had been critically interrupted by a rebellion which was sparked by a gigantic emotional entrapment during the Atlantean epoch. (Was this the ending of the Pleistocene epoch?). A majoritarian commitment resulted in devastating consequences for mankind. It was generally indicated that evidence of civilization in this epoch was super-humanly- intentionally wiped out by tectonic-controls to thoroughly remove all the black magicians and their works, (and archeological evidence was consequently swept away also).

A surprising highlight might serve: Power lusting, hypnotic-black-magicians had been widely accepted as leaders instead of the guidance provided by the planetary hierarchy, of our next higher, natural kingdom, who were deliberately banished by popular hypnotic beliefs in this renegade priesthood. The consequences were cataclysmic, with tectonic erasure of almost all, previously available resources, while so much life was washed away beneath the surface of our planet. "Those who had not abused power were warned in good time to emigrate and to resort to elevated countries....". Well-reinforced, civilizing cultures were absent everywhere through those difficult millennia; however, common knowledge could appreciate the given details. This (2025 rewritten) weblog attempts to explore the hylozoic knowledge system which is quietly appearing to demystify massive confusions of our time.

The fifth natural kingdom, or the planetary hierarchy, has as its foremost task to supervise the consciousness development of mankind, but never by direct contacts, (any longer), nor by direct interventions. That is, civilize in order to humanize, or else if stagnated again, to then conclude another epoch cataclysmically by the likes of self-harm or again by overwhelming black magic. Was there a conflict with the law of freedom? This describes something like a truly superhuman project to root and grow a humanity, who must develop common sense to overcome emotional illusions tangled in many graduated levels including hatred. Hylozoics analyzes the solutions behind the scenes which are now edging towards a climax for all mankind. After the five decades of this writer's search through many kinds of sources, higher law is a far more preferable, functional-system providing a comprehensive basis for solving the world problems along with exemplary models for necessary corrective actions.

With occasional updates and additions, a seeker's exploration culminates very gladly with far-reaching subjects as may be found in these cited books. Specifically unrecorded, unpublished, knowledgable training was the secret initiation of actual Pythagoreans who were forced into prolonged or lifetime secrecy when the original Krotona colony was destroyed (by ignorant tyrants). Their knowledge order remained unknown until translations and the publicly available, internet-publications were digitally formatted for the first time ever, particularly after year 2000.

Compatible with humane existence are the lesser understood, generally unknown and academically avoided processes of manifestation including reincarnation, (as one of many examples which has be treated elsewhere). Cautious approach has been a just cause until one has mastered the higher stage of humanity, and is adequately developing consciousness by natural means, including inherent studies with practice. The Pythagoreans could thereby reincarnate through the ages, according to natural self-self-development, old school consciousness-development, and by acquiring essential qualities all along the way.

A rational explanation aims to replace previously available explanations because earlier resources were insufficient and were effectively off track. A blank spot in formal history has described the Pythagoreans, which should also explain more logically that survival via utter silence had long been practiced immemorial! It was a necessary survival technique preserving dedicated human beings who were esotericians or were seekers to quietly survive the ongoing, fatal persecutions, and this quite study of knowledge continued unrecorded, and therefore undocumented for archeology, and for safety, and continuing on through the well documented witch hunts which had horrifically terrorized our early humanists, our early scientists and free thinkers of all kinds.

Text references, are found online with search engine inclusion of: "Laurency.com" and "hylozoic.se" in the search window along with the specific hylozoic terms of interest, while realizing that slight variations of word forms can find authentic source materials, (and Google has consistently provided exacting link results where some other search engines have sometimes been a little lacking.) Then by page searching for the specific terms and by reading the surrounding text the context and content is soon elaborated. A seeker can bypass the pompous, war-proud histories of millennia and instead contemplate a Pythagorean re-contextualization of mankind's struggles, and in a whole new perspective reconsider the (sadly repressed) facts of a permanent consciousness, and of unseen guides who unselfishly serve mankind’s development. The planetary hierarchy never indulge mankind's conventions, and continues development past the restricted consciousness of our denser world level of consciousness. We are all evolving individual consciousnesses at differing levels which continue even far beyond our elder humanity, our the fifth natural kingdom.

Hypothetically advancing contemplation may begin integrating hylozoic precepts and concepts together into larger contexts and bigger pictures, and we may gradually see that an actual super-physical knowledge is found with consciousness development. Without daily meditation on the requisite qualities, we will remain undeveloped. A person's best practiced mental system is a starting place to reach yet higher mental planes.

The world stage always had higher hearted guidance waiting in the wings, but freedom of human will always determined conditions of life on our planet, such as by popularized, randomized chaos. The beautiful Mediterranean flourish, Graecia Magna flowered brightly and meditatively, but eventually was left to develop on its own, when meditative guidance moved away. Pax Romana eventually took advantage, and later vicariously expanded beyond the middle ages, until the toil-easing sciences and a humanist-resurgence inspired western culture, only bit by bit. Cognitive resurgence replaces muscularity to reinforce assimilation of ageless wisdom. Popular or not, this would nicely transcend our compromised cultures. Mindfulness could peacefully reset the global stage.

Assimilation from secret orders came and went,

originally inspiring new knowledge of life.

Ingenious ethos portrayed natural law,

conveyed within popular, palatable lore

until hearsay got distorted by gossip,

and knowledge was only guessed at.

Widespread doubt about possibilities of

higher knowledge and stages of existence

saw repulsions instead of harmony,

cultivating materialistic, protagonist fates.

After a period of ingenious ethos had become old history even so long ago in Greece, even after those deeper minded souls were gone for a recuperation from our densified planet, some lesser experienced souls got their turn to arrive, to be born, and to incarnate into Greece as in the whole planet. Lesser qualities had their way, their influences, and then the higher aspirations receded. Hylozoics had passed unannounced through ancient documentation as hylozoics is forever non-intrusive and it kindly shuns populism, fame and commercialism. It has generally practiced reticence.

Human evolution can afford a raise, when it uses higher heartedness via mindfulness. Esoteric knowledge and esotericians keep a low profile among mankind, and their ways are hardly known at all, and this is for mankind's safety from his unaware, self effacing indifference to developmental evolution. The planetary hierarchy is bound by higher law. Sufficient numbers of mankind had to first gain adequate experience of common sense before more of the volunteering ethos reappears for our new millennium, and then some more of the long - secret knowledge is quietly released, infused, and freely available, even on line, due to a long planned outcome of many causes and effects, including agreeable works of individual, free thinkers.

Natural "free will" allows thought to reflect on all of life and through all times, (but typically less rationally by emotionally dominated thought), and by chance or by work to stumble on better rationales, or better systems of life. If not too busy or if not pulled down into repulsions at a low period, we can ignore the fixation on materialism while still using and enjoying technological, (mentally enabled), conveniences. There is the "law of freedom". We need not succumb to primitive nor to overbearing robotized programing. We are free to release from invasive traits and from mistaken cultures. Actually, there are higher energies to explore for self activation, and these are found through self realization and consciousness development, and these are not digitally programed mimicry, nor things like fads.

One can work with the gradually resurfacing knowledge. Visually placing key parts found in hylozoics and sketching bits together at first, and by gathering more terms that are found through reading many of its texts, and then by gradually aligning these all together, finally an efficient diagram could result. This is good exercise for the mind. Diagrams intend to visualize instructive Pythagorean essays, and these introduce relevant facts into a visually comprehensive whole. Use of visual computer modeling efficiently circuits word-meanings together and then sooner integrates larger insights into a sustaining overview.

An attempted diagram of the "broad material basis of life" follows next, which contains an excerpt from: The Knowledge of Reality. (Scroll down this link to: 1.7 Atomic Matter, on page 8). Some generalized hylozoic implications are radially circuited, (inwardly and outwardly, concentrically) diagraming a hypothetical progression of all life. A Work In Progress:

One man's key highlights from seven years of study through laurency.com.

~~~~~~~~~~

A long standing interest in diagraming the existence of life has motivated this latest graphical model. The circuited-layout, green terminology and arrows are the author's imaginative additions to an integral mapping of searchable, hylozoic terminology. This has followed from decades of gradual fitting together of lesser concepts found from various other selective sources, and much later by age 70 hylozoics was suddenly found, and it has validated some of that earlier effort, while resolving the many dead-ended concepts, and by revitalizing this seekers path forward. Some additional, independently studied, meditative visualizations from recent years are listed next:

Pythagorean Hylozoic Dodecahedron

Some Introductory Septenary Correspondences

This weblog will grow with additions and further editing.

This website has long illustrated concepts and actual physical construction projects while exploring precise geometric models and research, and primarily for the deeper motivation of living, and this ultimately lead to finding laurency.com, but only after decades of conceptually searching far and wide, and mostly before the convenience of internet searches became available.

Mathematical meditation in the mind's eye inspired visual modeling, and also guided structural experimentation. Platonic solids as described are hylozoically Pythagorean introductions given to Platon, (or Plato is an Anglicized spelling). So regular and efficient is computer generated geometry, but how can precisely attached 3d clusters naturally light up pentagonal-stars? How and why? Is this only virtual lighting undiscoverable in crystallography or elsewhere? (Dialog is welcome).

How did clusters of regular, geometrical polyhedrons render stars like these?

Precisely generated and particularly clustered -hedron relationships suddenly became widely shared and generated with todays computerized tools. Suddenness of computer generation and visual navigation around or through a mathematically planned 3d model can objectivize our perspectives both visually and physically. Conventional mentality can expand beneficially, by use of wider perspectives. A few sentences clipped from Laurency utilize the rarely found word 'perspectivity'.

" 7.... If you have once thought through and mastered Pythagorean hylozoics, then you will find how well everything adds up in all respects. It is only then, too, that you will be convinced of the system’s tenability and sovereignty over all other systems. It shows its sovereignty by the perspectivity and the common sense it affords. Nevertheless it will take several generations before this insight breaks through and hylozoics is recognized as a justified working hypothesis. This testifies to the fact that mankind is still at the mental stage of slow, step by step inference thinking and is still far from perspective consciousness." (Next Link Below)

The thinker can see perspectives of thought today at least in familiar observations, and by extension see emotional perspectives and see intellectual perspectives as well. These are traditionally rare pastimes but todays accelerated communications online are sharing all sorts of contrasting perspectives, and easily, in case anyone cares to see the depths.

The related hylozoic reference is: 1 HYLOZOICS 1.4 The Purpose of the Hylozoic Mental System Scroll past 1.4 The Purpose of the Hylozoic Mental System and to paragraph 7 on page 4, where the word 'perspectivity' is found. Apparently the AppStore British Oxford Dictionary of English, ("© Oxford University Press 2010, 2021"), lacks the word perspectivity, but the American Merriam Websters Dictionary definition, online was found at the time of this writing: "perspectivity – noun per· spec· tiv· i· ty ˌpərˌspekˈtivətē plural -es : the correspondence between the points, lines, or planes of two geometric configurations in perspective."

Without ceremony a hylozoically defined "matter aspect" also aggregates all forms of energy which science detects, (simply as matter in motion, and as motion is a distinguishable aspect of existence within itself). The word 'objective' is used to distinguish "objectively sensed and managed matter" from the subjective hypothesis or of subjectively imagined or emotionally felt things. The Pythagorean term "higher matter" is a simplified generality of the spectra beyond our receptive range, a higher matter that we may ultimately explore beyond present day familiarity, and this we may eventually and purposefully encounter through consciousness development.

Scroll near the end of the link to locate the full text of this excerpt:

Have we missed a lot? Also the inscribed excerpts from Laurency & Adelskogh imply a gradual task for human sciences to explore, to master, and to ascertain beyond current eyeball objectivity and apart from other general theories. Our current restrictions of a denser, "lower world", is due to poorly evolving perceptive-organs and habitual resistance to conceptual perspectivity. Anciently engrained psychological repulsions retard and effectively block our "etheric consciousness" which could potentially and selectively expand the visible and sensible spectra.

Specialized terminology is introduced in Pythagorean hylozoics, including both the word forms 'hylozoics' and 'hylozoic', along with other specialized meanings for some common words and all to be rationalized for clearer understandings.
