13958 - Introduction to the Hyper Idea

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athena Kehagias

If somebody hasn’t found themselves during one of their lifespans in Hagia Sophia in Constantinople, then it’s hard for them to comprehend the Hyper Idea, which is founded on the sea and its ports, because they are under the impression, that the ports are of the land, and not of the sea, whereas, they constitute the answer of the need of the sea.
Therefore, in order to understand that Hagia Sophia is a port of Hellenism, they must first see the lighthouse and through its stillness, to finally see the movement, otherwise they will belong to the citizens who mourn regarding the size of the land, and do not perceive the dimensions of the sea of Hellenism, because its foundations are submerged in the sea, and much more deeply than a withdrawn anchor at that.
But if now you were to tie up in the port of Hagia Sophia, the cognitive schemes are changing, and you no longer see merely the additional details, but also the timeless substance that has crossed through the centuries, because of the message Hellenism itself represents.
It is then that you realize the value of Time, due to the resistance and the sacrifice which is teaching Humanity, even if it has undergone crimes, which however failed to eliminate it, even though they dominated through space.
We simply must never confuse the Greeks of liberty with the serviles of obsequiousness.
Because the body is not the spirit.
Because the movement is not the action, nor the existence is life.
At the Hagia Sophia there is the gift of light, the Zoodochos Pigi, the life giving source.
And all the eons which take care of you when you are in it, give you the power to think the unthinkable, to get caught by this superstring which bore everything without becoming degenerated from the barbarism, and to see for the first time the image of the Hyper Idea.
Then you will also conceive the value of the endless blue, which is not solely a surface, as you assumed in the past, but a spacetime, which doesn’t stop at the borders, as it has no limits, since it is a gift of time to Humanity.
In this manner you perceive with the intelligence of Hellenism that the Hyper Idea is the future of the history you haven’t lived yet, because you haven’t felt the depth of the past.
You’re no longer trapped at Thermopylae, but you learn about the Marathon and Salamis, and so you can also see the marathon of the Exclusive Economic Zone.
Therefore, you will be able to contribute as a fighter to a struggle which helps you grow, and allows you to see the dimensions of the Hyper Idea, in order to become more humane due to humility.
