An Invitation to HYLOZOICS
Friends, there's been a lot of talk lately here and 'there' about HYLOZOICS. The following is a little preface to a small edition from this VAST 'System of Thinking'. As in all things, I implore you to consider the new Ideas you find with a critical, yet OPEN Mind.
Hylozoics is not some fly-by-night, 'Here are all the answers,' NEW, "New Age" System; yet it may lead you to consider that there was a WELLSPRING from whence ALL Religions, Philosophies, and Sciences from ages, maybe even eons past, had their source, and that this Knowledge, while complicated and involved, this "Pythagorean Hylozoic" System may be an Inspired, re-presentation of some of the original IDEAS that man has considered since those very old times.
When you read or hear the name Henry T. Laurency, understand this was a pseudonym. All the thousands of pages he wrote are freely available online. There is no one selling anything (to my knowledge) related to Hylozoics, except maybe the old printed books, which are now outdated. Stick with the PDF's. All true Knowledge is Free. Remember that.
Also, our Laurency is a rough character; a hard read. Some have called him erudite. Have patience with his writing style. To some it's off-putting, while others find his authoritative tone a bit refreshing.
One last note: Hylozoics works on you slowly, according to how it resonates. Some may find it makes a lot of sense at first, and dive right in (be careful!), while others will look and see a lot of meaningless words (and numbers).
So again, patience in all things, friends! THERE IS NO RUSH!
Now to the preface, by another Student of Hylozoics ...

Egypt is currently in flames, it is therefore good to remember its unique heritage. Never forget
THE SMILE OF THE SPHINX AND ITS THREE QUESTIONS
Whence? How? Whither?
According to the original interpretation, the Sphinx is the keeper of the secret of life, the esoteric knowledge of existence.
Its inscrutable smile, though oft explained in an increasingly pessimistic vein,
however, is good. The Sphinx smiles because all life is a unity, fear and worry are unnecessary, sorrows and troubles are transient. Evil is the mistakes of life-ignorance and disappears inasmuch as man seeks the truth and applies in life what he has found. Mistakes are part of the necessary experience of life. But as mistakes are righted, the truth comes to light and proves to be the eternal law of life that guides everybody to perfection. The smile of the Sphinx is good. It indicates that life is divine and that it is up to each one of us when we shall be able to realize our divine possibilities.
The Sphinx is also the symbol of the man who had been initiated into the mysteries of life and passed the tests of initiation. These were in olden times of such a character that only those who had overcome fear and mastered their lower nature could stand the horrors. These were in actual fact magical phenomena, terrifying etheric physical and emotional elementals produced by the hierophant and made visible to the unprepared neophyte. In occult literature there are many descriptions of similar tests.
Legend had it that the Sphinx blocked the path to the sanctuary and hurled down into the abyss everyone who could not answer its three questions rightly. Which these were was of course kept secret and were later made the objects of profound expositions, all false, of course.
The Greek mysteries were of three kinds. In the lesser mysteries, people were taught about life after death in the emotional world (the “underworld”), in the greater mysteries, about the sojourn in the mental world. Only in the highest degree, which was so secret that just those who were initiated into it knew of its existence, they were given the answer to the three questions summing up the knowledge of reality and life - the three questions of the Sphinx: Whence, How, and Whither?
The following pdf-file contains a short summary of Hylozoics (Pythagoras esoteric teaching) answer to the eternal three Questions:
Whence? How? Whither?
Pythagorean Hylozoics (PH) is very deep and confusing, but if someone begins to read such works, and it resonates, ... well, look into it further.
THE THREE QUESTIONS OF THE SPHINX
I said much about it here, but only the EARS that need to Hear about it, heeded it. And so it is, it was talked about already on Avalon.
