A Pythagorean Hylozoic Aspiration
A meditation on the dodecahedron as . . .
The Twelve Essential Qualities
It is humanly fulfilling to aim for a bridge built of evolution, and to search for the next natural kingdom.... Mineral to plant, to animal, to man, and man to the next natural kingdom, while so few humans consider searching there, and common language cannot instantly convey what has not been intuited yet nor felt yet by experience. Human inspiration for a subsequent cultural knowledge, a culture beyond present day conventionality could be found. This blog explores some little known Pythagorean resources quietly appearing.
With occasional updates and additions, a seeker's exploration culminates very gladly with far-reaching subjects as may be found in Pythagorean Hylozoic books. After five decades of searching through printed-paper-book sources for life-explanatory knowledge, this was a far preferable explanatory-system which provides a comprehensive basis and systemization. Millenia of non ceremonial, unpublished, knowledgable training was the secret initiation of actual pythagoreans who were forced into prolonged secrecy when the Krotona colony was destroyed. Their knowledge order remained unknown until translations and internet publications were readied, (through the early 2000s), for the first time ever.
Rational conceptualization aim to replace rumors of old because happenstance records were conveyed indirectly and too often edited by powers that be. 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 knowledge orders and their seekers to survive the fatal persecutions and oppositional distractions, even long before the well documented witch hunts had horrifically terrorized our early humanists, scientists and free thinkers.
Primary text references, (italicized terms), are from the many, revealing writings of Laurency and Adelskogh, and reading these texts has realigned decades of a patient quest for knowledge, (of the writer here). A seeker can bypass contrived collections of millennia and instead benefit from Pythagorean recontextualizing. The hypotheses to explain existence can then naturally entertain methodical and systematic reflection, which is a form of meditation. "Without daily meditation on the requisite qualities, they will remain undeveloped."
The world stage always had higher hearted guidance waiting in the wings, but freedom of human will always determined conditions of life. The costs of social stability and beliefs would naturally ebb down for centuries unless a resurgence could raise all standards. The beautiful Mediterranean flourish, Graecia Magna flowered brightly and meditatively, but eventually lost the seed of its blossom and its prominence subsided. Lowering emotionality had subdued deeper knowledge when meditative expressions lost cogitative followers. Pax Romana eventually took advantage with an iron fist, and then vicariously expanded beyond the middle ages, until the toil easing sciences provided much needed relief. But invasive traits morphed its conquests to subtly sap world peace. Cognitive resurgence can replace muscularity to salvage ageless wisdom. Popular or not, this aims to transcend our decayed cultures. Mindfulness could peacefully reset the global stage.
Admiration of 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
nurtured repulsions instead of harmony,
cultivating materialistic, protagonist fates.
Hylozoics passed unannounced through ancient documentation as hylozoics is forever non-intrusive and it shuns populism, fame and commercialism. Human evolution can afford a raise, when it uses higher heartedness via mindfulness. After a period of ingenious ethos had become old history even so long ago, even after those deeper minded souls were gone for a rest and recuperation from our densified planet, some lesser experienced souls got their turn to arrive, to be born and to incarnate into Greece. Lesser qualities had their way and then in following periods receded. Esoteric knowledge and esotericians keep a low profile among mankind, and their ways are very little known, and this is for mankind's safety from his unawareness of his self destructive indifference to self evolution, to soul evolution. Sufficient numbers of mankind had to first gain adequate experience of common sense before more of the volunteered ethos reappears for our new millennium, and then some more of the long - secret knowledge is quietly released, and freely available internationally (on line), due to a long planned outcome of many causes and effects.
Natural "free will" allows thought to reflect on all of life and of all times, and by chance or by work to stumble on better rationales. 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 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 computations of electronics, nor things like fads.
One can work with the given 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. Mapping out other overviews has been helpful through 50 years, with other much less comprehensive sources, and with less promising explanations of all life which had lacked this quality and this extent of rational continuity. Patiently the Pythagorean essays could be studied, and these better coordinate the relevant facts into a more comprehensive whole. Use of visual computer modeling efficiently circuits word-meanings together and then sooner integrates larger insights into a sustaining visualization.
Here is an attempted mapping of mostly hylozoic terms:None of the green wording was found is hylozoic terms. The circuited-layout, green terminology and arrows are the author's imaginative additions. The internet search engines and reader apps are recommended for word and for concept searches, and particularly from Laurency.com, o see what his is about.

Hylozoic Math Of Consciousness
Pythagorean Hylozoic Dodecahedron
This website has long illustrated concepts and actual physical construction projects while exploring precise geometric models and endless searches for the deeper motivation of living, and this ultimately lead to finding laurency.com, but only after some decades of searching far and wide.
Mathematical meditation in the mind's eye inspired visual modeling, and also guided structural experimentation. (Platonic solids are hylozoically Pythagorean introductions given to Platon, or Plato is an Anglicized spelling). So regular and efficient is comnputer 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?
How clusters of regular, geometrical polyhedrons rendered out stars like these.
Precisely generated and particularly clustered -hedrons suddenly become widely shared and generated with todays computerized tools. Suddenness of computer generation and visual navigation around or through a mathematically planned 3d models 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." (Linked 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 all in one electronic medium, in case anyone cares to see 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 British Oxford Dictionary of English lacks the word perspectivity, but the American Merriam Websters Dictionary definition is: 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. The word 'objective' is used to distinguish "objectively sensed and managed matter" from the subjectively imagined or emotionally felt things. The Pythagorean term "higher matter" is a simplified generality of the spectra that we may ultimately explore beyond present day familiarity, and this we may purposefully encounter through consciousness development.
This implies a gradual task for human sciences to explore, master, and ascertain beyond current eyeball objectivity. Our current restrictions of a denser, "lower world", is due to slowly evolving, human organs, and slow development is due to our stuck attachments of invested cultures and inflexible materialism, and bottom-feeder self restrictions. Anciently engrained psychological repulsions retard and effectively bar our "etheric consciousness". These commonly used Pythagorean expressions including "the ignorance of life" actually constitute a coherent system which maps out the lengthy path of available discoveries and realizations.
