Welcome
Discover A radically different view of yourself & All humanity
And discover the profound implications for your life, the lives of everyone around you, and the future of Humanity
And discover the profound implications for your life, the lives of everyone around you, and the future of Humanity
Imagine a world where a profound sense of common humanity is powerful enough to override the opposing identities that are tearing us apart, making it impossible to unite to meet the threats to our existence from conflict and the destruction of our life-support system.
By embracing our Prior Identity, we have the opportunity to usher in a clear view of the interconnectedness of all things.
Unity isn't a utopian vision. It's reality, just like gravity. We're already united, but acting as if we aren't. That's the problem. So we think we can do something to one thing, and it doesn't affect everything.
Just like with gravity, act as if unity isn't reality, and eventually we come crashing down. That's what's happening right now.
Imagine a world where you wake up each morning and feel at your very core, that there is nothing about you that is inadequate or insufficient, no matter who you are.
Embracing Prior Identity leads to a fundamental shift in one's perspective and relationship with existence. It can dissolve barriers of fear, anxiety, and existential concerns.
This transformation can bring about inner peace, clarity, and a deep sense of purpose on a cosmic scale.
According to theoretical physicist, Michio Kaku, the two greatest mysteries in all of science are;
'What banged? and What is the [human] brain?'

We don't yet know the answer to the first mystery, but our Prior Identity may provide an answer to the second:
"The human brain is the brain of whatever banged, trying to understand what it is. It's the first mystery, trying to answer the first mystery, itself."
Imagine a world where neurodivergent brains are celebrated as exceptional brains that can often see where our real problems lie, and find the answers we so desperately need.
Imagine a world where neurodivergent people aren't pressured to 'pass' as neurotypical, and can be themselves without others creating a problem out of it.
The people who have been central to the development of Prior Identity are neurodivergent. We want other neurodivergent and neurotypical brains to imagine the dissemination and application of this concept across society.

Imagine a world where every child grow up with a deep sense of purpose and meaning.
A world where they don't worry themselves sick over what they may or may not become, because they know what they are.
A world where their Prior Identity is as big, wonderful, beautiful and majestic as the universe itself.
Join together to spread this vision of Humanity's place in the universe.
Imagine the world we could create for each of us and all of us and all of nature.

Our Prior Identity is what a human brain is as a physical structure of the universe, 'prior' to any personal or socio-cultural identities within human society ("The Great Improv"), that the brain later adopts.
In short, whatever started banging 13.8 billion years ago, has grown its own highly conceptual self-aware brain through natural processes of cosmic and biological evolution, and that's what we are: the universe's own brain, whose life-support system is Earth.
That's our Prior Identity - Simple; Logical; Obvious
(Go to About Prior Identity - About Us - PDFs - Learn the Logic for a fuller explanation.)
Prior Identity neither affirms or denies the existence of an overarching consciousness of the universe. Prior Identity is only concerned with brains and nothing else.. Neither is it concerned with what is called 'the hard problem of consciousness,' which asks why anything is conscious rather than not conscious. Prior Identity assumes the existence of conscious conceptual brains, and simply attempts to show them as a structure of the universe whereby the universe can conceive of its own existence and nature.
Prior Identity provides the logical conclusion to those statements. If we are the universe 'figuring itself out' or 'knowing itself,' then the 'itself' which has the brain that is doing the 'figuring out' and the 'knowing,' must be the universe. That makes each of us, the universe's brain. And by universe, we mean whatever it was that started banging and continues to unfold. Whatever it was, it has grown its own conceptual brains. Humanity is collectively that brain (see the FAQ immediately below to clarify this).
All that the concept of Prior Identity is doing, is taking what’s been established by such cosmologists, adding another conclusion, and making it relevant to the world as a way to see ourselves and how that can help us thrive as individuals and as Humanity.
Simply put, it is taking an established fact and reframing it as a radical paradigm shift of human identity.
And to be clear, "itself" is not being used to denote personhood to the universe. Just like we might say, "The table itself," which doesn't ascribe personhood to the table.
And, we are not implying that other conceptual brains anywhere in the universe are either superior or inferior to human brains in their conceptual capacity. Conceptual brains conceive of what they conceive. All brains are brains of the universe, conceptual or not.
No. It is not an assertion of a collective consciousness, collective unconscious, or any form of invisible human consciousness that transcends individual human minds. Rather, this idea employs the word “Humanity” in its conventional sense, referring to human beings as a species, collectively.
We are referring to the verifiable, empirical fact that individual human brains collectively share concepts through language and communication. This ability to exchange and build upon shared knowledge enables humanity to advance its understanding of the universe. Through collaboration and conceptual language, the total sum of human knowledge and capability grows exponentially beyond what any individual could achieve on their own. This is observable in various domains, such as the development of the internet, scientific collaboration, and technological progress, where the collective intelligence of humanity has led to remarkable achievements. In this sense, we can speak of Humanity being 'a brain.'
It is important to clarify that while we make no assertion about the existence of any invisible or metaphysical collective phenomena, neither do we deny the possibility of such phenomena.
Prior Identity in not theistic, atheistic or anti-theistic. Far from being a threat to those who believe in a God or gods, it adds new dimensions to religious belief. We will explore how Prior Identity provides non-religious people with a sense of deep purpose and meaning, and we will explore how it does the same for those who count themselves as believers.
Go to the page, Meeting of Minds to find the first in a series of PDFs that will look into this, and invite you to contribute to the dialogue.
Get regular updates on new ideas and ways that Prior Identity can change everything, guided meditations, and stories from people who have experienced transformative impacts of realising and living in their Prior Identity. And for those who want to join the Prior Identity Realisation Movement (PIRM) to promote and expand this concept into every area of society, we will offer practical ways to do this, and opportunities to join together to discuss the ways forward to transform human understanding of what we actually are. To join the PIRM, please go to the PIRM page on the website.
