Now and then you run into people that claim to be philosophical materialists. Their belief is that our world consists out of pure matter - and only matter. The first thing that comes to mind when listening to this, is that things like our thoughts are abstract, as we cannot perceive them with our senses. Substances like ether challenge this traditional way of determining what's matter and what's not. Eventually, the materialists come to the point where they have to define what matter is. That is when they begin to back up their ideas with contemporary science that says everything is built out of atoms. These atoms form different patterns, depending on the density and temperature of the matter in question.

The density of a material object largely decides its qualities; whether it'll be heavy or light, cold or hot, be able to transmit electricity or not etc. The space between the atoms regulate the total amount of density for the object as a whole and much of the modern science within this field, is based upon theoretic models where each set of atoms are placed within a circular hierarchy, similar to the pattern you are able to observe in a tree trunk, where each circle represents a certain number of years that tree has been alive and growing. The smaller the space is between these circles of atoms, the higher the density is, often resulting in a thick, hard material, like steel.

Sooner or later, when understanding that the density is not an absolute figure but a variable that determines the quality of a material object, you ask yourself the same question that many people before you have done: "wouldn't that mean that there should be a matter, somewhere in our universe, where the space between the atoms is zero"? Think about it: the scientists say that each atom is extremely small. The larger the number of atoms within a material substance, the smaller the space is between them. This space is unbelievably small, so small that we cannot possibly observe it with our eyes, hardly even come close to it with our advanced instruments - but somewhere there has got to be a time when this space is so small that one atom melts into another atom. The small space simply cannot be endlessly small, we argue, thus there ought to exist some form of "super-matter." This is the basis to understand what we from hereon will address as hypermatter, or hypermaterialism.

According to the philosophy of hypermaterialism, such a matter does exist, where the density is absolute. This substance - or this phenomenon - let us call it God, is not really material in the definition we use it, as it's impartible and therefore lack organic properties. At the same time it is not an abstract or spiritual concept, as it does exist in what we call the common reality, shared by all of universe, observable in for example forms of the natural laws. The hypermaterialistic God is a post-materialistic substance that is matter in its final and complete form. It is All.

This monotheistic deity is both the universal soul of all space and contains natural, organic matter within it, manifested in for example human beings. Individuals are localized individualities, whose thoughts are the energy transmissions of the hypermaterialistic soul. In order to create these individualities, God had to incarnate parts of itself in organic matter, otherwise all individualities would be personal gods, as the soul without material body is the same as God.

There are thus two kinds of matter; the incomplete, rudimentary, organic matter that we consist out of in the first, earthly phase of life. Our rudimentary organs are adapted to the organic matter and can thus only perceive that part of universe, or God, as a whole. The intermediate level of the perception of the organic senses, force us to interpret reality subjectively. Things like colours, as already discovered by modern science, does not actually "exist," but are products of specific wave lengths by the sun light that in turn creates vibrations to the brain, transmuting the information into what we choose to call "red," "blue" and "yellow." When we die, our organic shell turns to dust and our soul is released into the second phase of life, which brings us true immortality, transcending the material tangibility of the first state of being. We then interpret our world via a new medium that gains access to all of God, except its Will, which is the only truth that our post-rudimentary medium cannot perceive.

The organic space was created by God to avoid its own singularity. God is absolute matter and its Will is an absolute will, thus perfection. But perfection does not and cannot exist, because that would render God complete and thus allow no reason to create or change the dynamics of energy. The prerequisite for creation is an imperfect state that can be altered. A perfect state cannot be altered, as it is already complete and absolute. Thus God has to incarnate itself in organic forms as an antithesis to itself, within itself, being "complete" through its internal incompletion. For example, there would be no way of establishing the notion of happiness, if sadness did not exist. Likewise, it's been found that pain is not a reality within the substance of God, so it had to generate a counter-presence of an organic space containing that pain, to feel "complete."

Hypermatter is in other words an active space containing a Will, which cannot be understood or perceived by studying its mechanisms or hidden logic, but nonetheless exists. This hypermatter avoids the state of singularity by containing incomplete space that ultimately allows it to continue its operational nature. Like electricity is able to travel through air and water can melt into matter with thicker density, we are all part of the post-organic matter, but are unable to perceive it in this first phase of life, until we die and become immortal. The unorganized, chaotic post-organic existence is our final destination, where new truths about the universe will be explored, but the highest truth, namely that of the Will of God, remains unperceivable.
