CULT OF PYTHAGORAS | Math's Dark Little Secret 

Correction: That is not his theorem. It was just celebrated under his name. He learned it while studying in Egypt. The system was already in use

Mathematicians are actually magicians

My music composition teacher used to say "music is just circles and sticks" (to get us over the anxiety of writing), but it strikes me as the same concept behind the 'perfection' of the number 10 or the lower letter "i"... a circle and a line, the basis for everything that can ever be created: like that old 60's animation "The Dot and the Line". Everything that exists is comprised of lines and points, is located at a point connected by distances of lines, and can be symbolically represented using nothing more than circles and sticks.

Thank you! I appreciate your effort and explanations! (And humor!) 👏

Pythagoras was NOT the "founder" of the theorem. He did NOT "discover" it' As far as history shows, his students, the Pythagoreans, were the first to have proved the theorem. It was named in his honor because of how much they revered him. It is fairly likely that other cultures (Chinese and Egyptians) knew what we now call the Pythagorean Theorem long before he lived, but no evidence that they proved it survived history.

You might think there's no basis for the bean rule, but think about it. When the dead have been buried, often after battle, the ground Bevan fertile with those nutrients. Beans are different. They take it a step further. They integrate that which was just broken down. In that way, this is the food first recycled from that which came before. They also believed in reincarnation. 10 is the number representing rebirth, in a base 10 system. The count cycles around, starting at 1 again.

Super interesting. Thank you for sharing! Great video!

I love how they skip over how he learned all of this math in Egypt. He learned all of these secrets that they say was his in Egypt. SMH

You can find and read more interesting information about Pythagoras & pythagoreans (Parmenides, Empedocles) in the books of Peter Kingsley ("Ancient Philosophy, Mystery, and Magic", "In the dark places of wisdom", "Reality").

Just to note that recurring decimals (.33333333 etc) aren't irrational numbers. Irrational numbers aren't a ratio of any two integers and the expansion is non-repeating.

Stumbled upon this video after hearing mention that Pythagoras had a crazy cult with a wild story. Well done video dude! You deserve more views, hope your channel takes off

thank you for this. wonder how you came about this totally forgotten ancient practice of building excellent scholars with pure mindedness. and from where people got the IDEA of spirituality.

Pythagoras sounds like a yogi. It’s funny how whenever someone has clear direction, principles, and explanation to why they live their lives in a certain way they’re immediately a polarizing being. Jesus, pythagoras, Buddha, osho, sadhguru, Gurdjieff. People are very threatened by these beings and quick to label them as “cult” or “fanatic” or “lunatic” “egotistical” “fascist” etc. but these same people have no aim or direction to their life. They have no magnetism

There is a famous tablet at Yale museum that shows full understanding of "Pythagoras theorem" by a student in Babylon well over 1000 years before Pythagoras even existed.

Anytime we repeat things that weren't written down at the time, we know all too well that those stories are distorted. To repeat them as if they were fact doesn't carry a whole lot of weight.

The more you know about sacred knowledge the less strange Pythagoras sounds. Truth is far stranger than fiction and while I don't know the reasons for the importance he put on certain numbers and beliefs. It would be pure foolishness to simply laugh at and discount them. I am here now watching this video because I believe there is wisdom hidden in numerology.

The man that was thrown in the water and drowned was caught telling people outside the group the secret of incommensurability.

Man I remember hearing about all this as a kid, thanks. I've been looking for it.

The Creator and Mother of us all is Zero as infinity that forms one, the male organ.

Excellent!

Nice! Did not expect that. Modern scholars may be up to something? Also interesting. I do find numerology has some merits.

Fava beans with potatoes are one of the most popular dishes in Greece today. Fava beans, little bit of tomato paste, olive oil, salt, parsely. Bread goes very well with it. I ate so many of my ancestors.

There are never enough chairs for those of us who loved math and were utterly bored by history.

Love the content, love the presentation, can't stand the captions as translated by RU-vid. Please upload your own script as captions, because at 0:34 I was surprised that you stumbled on Pythagoras as coal, just as one example. Auto-caption is less than ideal for people who do not have English as their first language, nor any "well, that SOUNDS right" because they grew up deaf, both approximately 10% of the population at large. So when unintentional mistakes appear, the people don't get what you wanted them to receive. This small detail, and attention to it in all ways, will increase the quality of your material, and will make it more readily passed about by those who find great captions from which to learn. Best of luck in increasing your numbers and content. Looking forward for more to come! Liked and subscribed

I am a NeoPythagorean. The universe is numerical. Yes, many of his practices were strange by our modern standards, but there is a seed of genius within them. We are living in a conscious numerical universe. The universe is made of consciousness, and it is evolving to an apex point of goodness and love. This is the heart of NeoPythagoreanism.

7 is a very special number as it is the number of spiritual perfection,, yes I do lean toward that avenue of thought,, Great job once again young brother and I look forward to more of your work 👍👍🙏🙏

Ancient Egypt Osirius master of maths and geometry

That “so he did what anyone would do” line is hilarious!😂

Thanks man really helped me with my assignment really well structured video thanks a lot from Australia 🇦🇺

You sound like you're from Pittsburgh. Good video, cheers

I really enjoyed this video

Where did this information come from?

Interesting. This is probably a stupid comment, but when shown the number "10" the thought popped into my head, not 10, but 1 0, like binary code

Let me get this straight; Pythagorean may have created one of the first pyramid schemes...? With his “I’ll take your property so you will get twice as much in return.”Too funny

I had difficulty in understanding the narrative because the background music was too loud and there was echoes on the mic.

In honor of Pythagoras, I sacrificed “10 bulls” when I came up with my theorem… Luci’s theorem: every nᵗʰ even number, eₙ , greater than 6 is the sum of at least two unique prime numbers, P1 and P2, that have n as their midpoint. Luci’s theorem explains why the Goldbach conjecture is true for every even number greater than 6.

This video made me laugh, very good.

The Monad is zero and it's geometric counterpart zero-dimensional space. 0D Monad is (SNF) 1D Line is (WNF) 2D Plane is (EMF) 3D Volume is (GF)

Now that makes me think differently of a certain math teacher I had in high school

I always wondered why the teachers wanted to skip over the source of Pythagoras or just gloss over it as "we don't know where he got his ideas"

This kinda sheds new light on Bob Seger’s “Feel Like A Number”.

I just noticed the correlation with the triangle containing the entire universe, the triangle looks like these new photos of the furthest parts of the universe that seem to have a beginning point maybe more like a cone I'm not sure but I feel there is correlation

In the movie blade runner when Harrison Ford asked Ryan gosling what is your name and he said kd/ 36 whatever and he said that's a number what is your name and Ryan didn't know just like I don't know and he said I think Joe whatd ae painful experience. I cried so many tears. You have no idea.

There is a theory that. ....... Pythagoras had opted to be vegetarian after he had come to Indian Universities for higher studies.

In my reading I've always seen 6 and 9 as the so-called "perfect numbers." 9 being The perfect number, apparently.

I believe he was on to something but I tend to think there is something rare about the numbers 3, 6, 9. Even Tesla said those numbers hold the secrets to the Universe. 9 is my favorite number. I noticed patterns when learning the multiple table. The 9's flip.. 9, 18, 27, 36, 45.. then 54, 63, 72, 81. Another thing.. add each of thoae together like 1+8 or 3+6 and you get 9.

A huge fan of gematria here, a ecstatic kabbalist and yes I do agree with 10 being more sacred than most people understand.

Nice video

Manly p hall had great lectures about Pythagoras

God is a DJ

I need someone to talk to...i know it's not a coincidence, it brought me here because I need to know why this happened to me. I think I just unlocked the oldest ancient civilization pythagorian theory.

This channel should be called. “Mind my quill.”

I’ve always liked numbers and I was even in the math honor society in high school…math just came natural for me🤔🤔🤔

The part about the rules where they couldn’t eat food that had fallen on the floor is true. What wasn’t mentioned was Pythagoras’s exception that he called the five second rule. Usually invoked by Pythagorus when someone else dropped some delectable morsel on the floor.

Cult aka a system of individuals gathered together by having related believes of a particular Topic

lovely

The realization of the 10 count system was a simpler way of digesting large complexities through human mind process's or material intelligence In consideration for Sacred scripture it coincided with the realization of 9 single digits. Nine being the number of completion in relation to the immaterial, or that which is Sacred and beyond all material understanding This also introduced the idea of a cyclical process of completion based on 9 positions. In getting to 10 an intimation of a verity revealed in retrospect. The irony: in going beyond a thing, is the grace that allows us, through constant review, all that we missed. Based upon the idea of what our perceptions have missed in relation to the truest understanding of #, a statement of what humanity is being afforded at this moment in time. Offered by immaterial definition (ultimately beyond definition of material verities). We are at the verge of collectively counting, two, three...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................For those delving into these realities based solely on material definition your next god (please note, the word god, as presented in all lower case letters) will be 19. This offered with great clarification. The offered statement is not prophetic but rather an inevitability based upon observations, free of conflict of interest, of the history of human material intelligence. The intimation of a cult of 19 is already being seen. To get caught up in what is seen materially is merely a distraction from the truest unfathomable wonderment possible. Just as there are those who want you to focus on synchronicities, such is the affirmation of a process, that when a thing is mentioned, it becomes more apparent in our sight. All things mentioned by human intelligence were there all along. All things being seen currently are the result of a things mentioned in this age by intelligence beyond human understanding. 19 is and always has been. Now that it is being brought into light (not by me) you will see it more readily. It is an indication of greater context through the affirmation of extremes. Contained within is the simplest truth, which more times than not is denied through material definitions of complexity. This is why individual material intelligence is a trap. For all intelligence, if affirmed, is greater than any individual material intelligence. All human intelligence is dependent on greater intelligence than our own to support growth in understanding. To affirm our truest dependent state, is to relieve ones self of the great burden of understanding solely based upon limited individual intelligence. An other way of phrasing it could be "to acknowledge all intelligence, is to avail ones self to all intelligence acknowledged. There is intelligence exponentially far beyond the fullest reality of human material intelligence. We have been willing to believe in human intelligence, We have accomplished incredible things with our human intelligence. The next stage is belief in intelligence other than our own that can not be given definition by our own intelligence. It can be seen though. Herein lies the importance of what was offered in "sacred scripture" for it freely offered sight unto the blind. Or by other more digestible definition an ability to see things previously unseen or obscured by our perceived material vision. Things currently being revealed were always there. Our individual sight is in no way tied to the existence and or origin of anything that we have been allowed to see. Even within this material reality the greater variable in relation to what is seen, is light reflecting off of things seen. Even within this material reality, material light expresses no prejudice in what it illumines. The sun shines on all equitably. This not in denial that a cyclical process is required for the light of the sun to illumine the whole earth. In this a great material verity to our own condition of blindness based upon the perception that our sight is the proof of the existence of things. No doubt this perception is in blind denial of the truest material verities within the material existence of which it currently resides.

Pythagoras stayed in Egypt and learned from khemet priest

This might be of some interest: Shakespeare's blank page 1

One must believe in the universe to believe anything.

12:31 So how do two great mathematicians of their time resolve their dispute?😐.... Pythagoras drows him and throws him off the boat😆

Its little left about his work and group of pupils as they were banished and killed...all his work were destroyed-I strongly believe must to be truth in them when they did this .Simular is enigma with Bogumils & Catars in Christianity where officially church and religion destroyed their teaching though in my opinion were much closer to initial Jesus teachings..

Going out on a limb and saying there is a god; If I had to associate a number with him/her/it. I say it would be the number zero. Which is the starting place of both positive and negative number's. God has supposedly always existed, meaning before our universe (negative). And always will, meaning after our universe no longer does (positive).

14:09 beans make AIR into EARTH, bring nitrogen from the sky down under earth, to roots Thor (fire in the sky/Zeus, Jupiter) reverts to roht/root, rot 10 is DECA: DECAY, rotten

Reminds me of when Sesame Street would be like "this episode is brought to you by the number 7."

I feel like this interpretation of Pythagoras and his teachings are based on a relatively poor academic translation of the associated works, and not one that represents an understanding of ancient Greek monism and symbolism. Also, as far as the guy who got drowned, I heard that he had revealed The secret of incommensurability .

Im pretty sure ancient Egyptians discovered math first. How else could they build the pyramids?

It's alive and well.

There was another group who had extra fingers and their number was 12 because they had 12 fingers and 12 toes

"They're the numbers on the calculator with 15 sixes, they just keep goin'?" 😆

lit

Pythagoras took from AryaBhatt. The Great INDIAN mathematicician

How is 1 even and odd?

The Freemasons saw something in him. Similar to fraternity, wisdom and God. Numbers in programing Hologram reality 2019 Nobel Peace prize for physics! Sacred geometry, fractal geometry codes in the matrix.

this video came out on my daughters birthday lol 4/27/2013

There are many interesting math stories. Look up Jack Parsons and his work with Alister Crowley and U.S. government. A fun rabbit hole

Mad at the mantis (Mathematics) magicians

Your sound is not net ,It seems you are far from microphone and this causes your voice not be heard sharp and clear

First time here. Is it just me or does this sound like BJ from TRG narrating? Not a bad thing 😅

Should look into Hermes Trismegistus

Let’s revive it, I said, let’s revive it, I wanna see their practices.

I don't know what it says. The audio quality is so poor I can't hear anything

Obviously the golden rectangle in two dimensional is the prototype of the golden pyramid. This is obviously as follows 1.0 1.27272727, 1.414, 1.6180 1.27272727, 1.90212 this is the construct of the obvious in 3 dimensional height is 1/2base 5280 feet x 1/2 x 7 x 14/11 480 feet. Hey dude the square root of Phi squared plus one is the same as the square root of Phi plus 2

Good work! Maybe put up some sound baffles in the room where you do your recording. Minimize or eliminate the slight echo. I hear a lot of tonality missing, if that makes sense. Pythagoras might. And it’s just like that with cults, isn’t it? Guy has a few ideas that are really quite champion, and then celebrity goes to his head and then yep, that bean salad is an entire family of thought reunion. Oh well, pass the onion glaze. But it was probably bcuz Pythagoras got a little too pithy about all the farting.

Salvia Divinorum

Pythagoras was early discover in the Indian history so many thousands years before.

10, is the number sacred in the Cabala as well, "ten is the number out of nothing"

Sounds terrifying 😳 although the vegetarian diet sounds good

Incredibly interesting topic, might have done with a wee bit less sarcasm and bit more awe. Say what you will as you view Pythagoras and his "cult" from the view of our current culture, we're still talking about him/them and his/their accomplishments thousands of years later. Obviously I'm referring to Pythagoras AND his followers - not meaning to indicate that he was somehow identifying as non-binary. As he was all about the number 10...or 1 and 0...it might be quite the insult to refer to him as such.

Read Paula Gott's book Lux Gospel and the Axe of the Apostle!

I know him... Jordan Paul Guilford.. 3 god

Why does all good happen and then all bad too

God is a a dreamer lost in a nightmare.

Parables aka Relativity

God is not a number, God is a VERB!!! 😉💕💃🕊️🌏🕊️💃

At 1:12 it's A² + B² = C² not A² + A² = C²

Have we found Pythagoras’s body?

reality is math, math is mind, we are math itself. Per Aspera Ad Astra.

He was soooo scared of beans
