What is Hylozoic-Atheopaganism?

Hylozoic-Atheopaganism is a constantly evolving, science-based yet spiritual, branch of paganism where the core beliefs are that there is no god, spirits exist, and that everything is connected.

Hylozoic comes from the Ancient Greek words:

ὕλη (hyle, “wood, matter”) and ζωή (zoē, “life”)

Hylozoism is a philosophical doctrine where all Matter is alive and unified with life or spiritual activity. Typically, in this theory, all types of matter participate in something known as the World Soul. This word was coined by English Plantonist philosopher Ralph Cudworth in 1678.

Atheo comes from the Ancient Greek word:

ἄθεος (átheos, “godless, without a god”)

Paganism is a religion that is non-Christian or pre-Christian that typically involves some sort of nature worship or respect for the Earth.

Atheopaganism is another spiritual belief on it’s own coined by Mark Green. It is a naturalistic pagan religious path founded in 2009. The belief in itself is athiest, but it embraces pagan practices to increase happiness individually and in society. It has Four Sacred Pillars and 13 Priciples that it’s followers practice. Mark Green states that they do not believe in gods or the supernatural.

Hylozoic-Atheopaganism is not related to Atheopaganism, as we believe that spirits exist, but it is similar. The spiritual path entails not believing in a god, which is the atheo part of it, but we do believe in the supernatural. We believe that everything is connected in one way or another—that we are part of the Earth and Universe. We believe we need to respect the Earth, and we believe knowledge is valuable, so we want to constantly learn about the world around us. Due to this, Hylozoic Atheopaganism is bendable and changes with information. It is also up for interpretation and open. As long as you believe in the core beliefs, you can call yourself a hylozoic atheopagan.

when i say the voice of god is all of our voices together, do you understand? we do not have to be in unison. the different notes and rhythms accent eachother. when i say that the entire universe is singing constantly, do you understand? everything resonates. you cannot hear the sounds that saturn is making but trust me that he's talking. when i say that the divine story is a song, when i say god is music, when i say that everything that has matter has song, do you understand?

Hylozoism is the philosophical point of view that matter is in some sense alive. Hylozoism refers largely to views such as those of the earliest Greek philosophers (6th and 5th centuries BC), who treated the magnet as alive because of its attractive powers (Thales), or air as divine (Anaximenes), perhaps because of its apparently spontaneous power of movement, or because of its essentiality for life in animals. The theory holds that matter is unified with life or spiritual activity. Thales, Anaximenes, and Heraclitus all taught that there is a form of life in all material objects. It was Thales who maintained that all things are full of gods (daimon).

I recall as a kid this 1962 Peanuts strip having me worrying that all things are alive and that Hylozoism was real.

Hylozoism

萬物有靈

All things in the world possess a distinct spiritual essence.

How symbiosis coexists at time and with antagonism at other times.

/The media are not bridges between man and nature; they are nature. - Marshall McLuhan /

fictional city anon here!! I am. kinsidering at least being mondstadthearted from genshin impact, but it may just be a hearthome? considering mond is not canonically sentient? but. I mean. put enough people in one place for a long enough time and I guess you kind of develop some kind of life, if not one recognizable to humans.... I am. something is deeply wrong with me but I find such peace in Mondstadt and not in the "being there" way in the "BEING there" way.

I literally think I may have been a place and I think I was in some kind of relationship with Liyue Harbor??? How I am not at all sure but I am so insane about this

not a good philosophy unless it has a cool name. which limits us to hylozoism

Welcome to the Hylozoic-Atheopagan Tumblr Home Page!

Hylozoic-Atheopaganism is a constantly evolving, science-based yet spiritual, branch of paganism where the core beliefs are that there is no god, spirits exist, and that everything is connected. I’m sure that the idea has been around for a very long time, but I wanted to give my particular set of beliefs a name, and I hope that other people can resonate with it as well!

I want this to be an open religious belief and up for personal interpretation, but I also have my own set of views. To not mix the two things together, I will make an indicator to show difference between personal belief and this religious faith.

Green Text = The Religious Faith

Yellow Text = Personal Belief / Interpretation

Asks are always open and I will get to them when I can! Please send any questions you have about the belief! You can ask about my own personal beliefs too! I’m a little new to having a tumblr blog, despite being on the site for years, but I will try my best and try to figure everything out. I will also update this pinned post frequently.

if youre wondering why god created the world and why he made it so interesting even when it meant sacrificing its goodness or wondering why he made fully conscious and aware beings like humans, its because godhood is terribly lonely. god wants to be talked to and to be experienced. the universe begs to experience itself. that is what we are. universe experiencing universe. stuff observing stuff. matter talking to itself. you are here because the universe wanted to dance to the music it was making. god made you able to pray so he could have the comfort of another voice speaking. we are all small fractal pieces of the universe as a whole, here together because though unity is sacred and beautiful and often times safer, the separation of consciousness --ripping souls from souls to create separate beings-- is far more interesting. like a harmonious chord: unison is satisfying sure but have you ever heard a c#7? isnt that so much more beautiful? and have you ever heard jazz music? yeah.

From the Five Radio Stations website: Lab’Bel presents Five Radio Stations, a group show comprising five artworks that are also radio stations. Listen to them via this website by clicking ‘play’ on any of the five station pages, or seek out a dedicated listening location. The works can be enjoyed like any radio station, as a focus or in the background, and for a shorter or longer duration of time. Although they are automated, the stations are not on-demand but streamed as live, meaning each listener hears the same thing at the same time as an invisible community of other people.

Five Radio Stations is available from 21 October 2023 until 21 March 2024.

Commissioned artists for the project are as follows: Keren Cytter, Benedikt H. Hermannsson, Hylozoic/Desires, Daniel John Jones and Seb Emina, and Emeka Ogboh.

Five Radio Stations is curated by Seb Emina and Silvia Guerra

One time, when I was 17, I was talking to the founder of the Hylozoic Movement, who believed we'd already evolved beyond the need for physical existence, and his dog was having a stroke and needed to be euthanized. In his final moments, the man said something like "there's just one more thing I need to do before I'm completely satisfied," he added, and told his dog he loved him and then he passed away.

I was really shaken by this. I told him my greatest ambition was to have a mind that was so similar to his and we'd meet in the afterlife.

(from Yudkowsky's review of Neal Stephenson's The Diamond Age)

In deviating from traditional mechanical conceptions of machines based on autonomous, functional and purely operational notions, the thesis proposes to conceive of machines as corporeal media in co-constituting relationships with human bodies. As machines become corporeal (robots) and human bodies take on qualities of machines (cyborgs) the thesis investigates their relations to architecture through readings of William S. Burroughs’ proto-cyborgian novel The Soft Machine (1961) and Georges Teyssot’s essay ‘Hybrid Architecture: An Environment for the Prosthetic Body’ (2005) arguing for a revision of architecture’s anthropocentric mandate in favour of technologically co-constituting body ideas. The conceptual shift in man-machine relations is also demonstrated by discussion of two installations shown at the Venice Biennale, Daniel Libeskind’s mechanical Three Lessons in Architecture (1985) and Philip Beesely’s responsive Hylozoic Ground (2010). As the purely mechanical model has been superseded by a model that incorporates digital sensing and embedded actuation, as well as soft and compliant materiality, the promise of softer, more sensitive and corporeal conceptions of technology shines onto architecture. Following Nicholas Negroponte’s ambition for a ‘humanism through machines,’ stated in his groundbreaking work, Soft Architecture Machines (1975), and inspired by recent developments in the emerging field of soft robotics, I have developed a series of practical design experiments, ranging from soft mechanical hybrids to soft machines made entirely from silicone and actuated by embedded pneumatics, to speculate about architectural environments capable of interacting with humans. In a radical departure from traditional mechanical conceptions based on modalities of assembly, the design of these types of soft machines is derived from soft organisms such as molluscs (octopi, snails, jellyfish) in order to infuse them with notions of flexibility, compliance, sensitivity, passive dynamics and spatial variability. Challenging architecture’s alliance with notions of permanence and monumentality, the thesis finally formulates a critique of static typologisation of space with walls, floors, columns or windows. In proposing an embodied architecture the thesis concludes by speculating about architecture as a capacitated, sensitive and sensual body informed by reciprocal conditioning of constituent systems, materials, morphologies and behaviours.
