ARIYA Creed (Semperism) is a life-changing warrior philosophy for the modern era. It will help you truly understand yourself, conquer fear and depression, find your unique Path and become an unstoppable power for change in the world. It is personal development like you’re never experienced before.
Semperism does to the mind what a good exercise routine and a healthy diet do to the body. It allows you to remember who you really are and reconnect with your true power.
It allows you to consciously craft your reality and serve the world greatly.
It gives you the power to stand your grand and not be swayed or deluded by toxic or dangerous influences.
Semperism is based on the most profound and powerful spiritual wisdom of mankind. The name comes from the Latin word ‘semper’ meaning ‘eternal’. It is focused on empowerment and enlightenment of all living beings through the ideas of integrity, purposeful life and spiritual warriorship.
You will learn about your true spiritual nature and how to unlock your inner power to influence reality.
You won’t be asked to accept anything on faith. Everything you learn, you will discover through your own experience – so you can witness your own powerful transformation and understand yourself on a whole new level.
Practicing ARIYA Creed allows you to transform your mind to increase your personal power, eradicate weaknesses and become a greater force for change in the world and a weapon of Light.
Our mission is to help people rediscover their Purpose, sense of dignity, belonging, and inner power by transforming their paradigm. We train those who want to become true warriors in spirit – strong physically, mentally, and spiritually – and passionate about serving the world greatly.
Here’s the truth – you came into this world for a reason. You were born a warrior, a teacher and a king, and you have a mission to fulfil here.
Your life’s transformation doesn’t start with wishful thinking for the things to get better. It doesn’t start with making plans, either.
It starts with transforming your mind and taking action.
To be able to take that action, however, you must be able to see where you’re going.
The reason why many people get taken advantage of and led astray is because they are desperate to find a cure from the unresolved pain within.
This pain if there because we were meant for more, and our inner nature is screaming to manifest its real power. The power that has been taken away from it by the limiting beliefs and the lack of knowledge of how to use it. Many lose the sight of their Path, and their potential and strength become diminished and misused. You might have even experienced it yourself.
If you learn about self-understanding and self-healing, you become not only the master of your own life, but also a guiding light for others. You can lift those who have fallen on hard times and guide those who seek guidance out of the darkness. You can help those who are struggling to find their Path.
Your self-mastery is not only about lifting yourself up. Although it does make you stronger, more knowledgeable and more powerful, at the core, your personal development is a sacred gift to others, your contribution to the world you live in.
If you make the commitment to expand your awareness, awaken your inner hero and serve your mission, you show others the way to do it, too.
Our gift is the gift of knowledge. Awaken to your greatness. Show that you are worthy of the mission that was entrusted upon you.

Semperism is the only fully working and complete self-empowering system that is not weighted down by dogmas, distortions and misinterpretations. It has been designed to be a reliable solution and the answer for the demands and challenges of the modern life. It’s been created with you in mind.
Semperism does to the mind what a good exercise routine and a healthy diet do to the body. It allows you to remember who you really are and reconnect with your true power. It allows you to consciously craft your reality and serve the world greatly.
With the downfall of the major religions in the West, many people were left spiritually stranded. What was once a clear and a safe path to personal mastery has been replaced with a plethora of obscure and often contradictory ‘spiritual practices’. Many people subconsciously reject those, and it is completely understandable.
The scarcity of choices pushes some towards philosophies from far away. The issue with those schools of thought is that they had been created in a distant era and for a very different mindset from what we have now. Eastern doctrines are also intertwined with foreign religious beliefs and are based on languages that the majority of us don’t understand, such as Sanskrit, Pali, Tibetan, Japanese or Chinese. It is worth keeping in mind that many subtle yet important nuisances become easily lost or distorted in translation.
Eastern philosophies are beautiful and profound, but they are often also extremely complex; to the point where even the native followers may find them challenging to comprehend.
Another issue is the issue of compatibility. When choosing a diet or an exercise routine, we understand that the best choices are those that are aligned with our needs, body type and our health condition. In other words, we look for something that is congruent with what we are, so it can support us. You can stretch that outlook to everything you choose to adopt or absorb.
Same as eating the food that is right for you, and following an exercise regimen that serves your personal needs, choosing your spiritual foundation should be a careful and deliberate process. Strive to find what truly resonates with you and makes you stronger, rather than trying to force into your mind a belief that doesn’t quite feel right – only because other people are raving about it.
To fully benefit from a teaching, one must be able to understand it and follow it easily. The system should be logical, transparent and offer tangible transformative results, without any unnecessary dogmas. This is why Semperism (ARIYA Creed) is a powerful and healthy alternative to many other systems.
Semperism is a philosophy focused on empowerment and enlightenment of all living beings through the ideas of integrity, purposeful life and spiritual warriorship.
The main principles, philosophy and practices of Semperism are explained in CODEX SEMPERIS and the Lightwatch Chronicles (a story version).
As living beings, we were born and destined for greatness, and we can’t survive in mediocrity. That mediocrity and feeling of unworthiness was imposed on us by decades of toxic social conditioning.
But we have the power to shake it off and awaken the true power of our mind.
To become who you’re called to be, you need a different paradigm of thinking and a new way of perceiving reality. The way you view yourself and the world around can either propel you towards your ultimate life’s fulfilment or bind you to mediocrity.
Semperism was born out of understanding that for people to align with their Purpose they need a way of reconnecting with their true essence, the Light within. This is what makes it possible.
Without that, the person will remain feeling depressed, inadequate and easily swayed mentally an emotionally ("He who stands for nothing will fall for anything").
And it is the connection with your true essence that gives you the answer of what you stand for. You have to awaken to your mission as a warrior and a creator of your reality.
Now, in the past, people used to have a set of steps, a protocol they could follow to achieve that. That protocol was incorporated in the body of their religious and spiritual practice.
The problem is that over centuries, those practices were becoming more and more distorted and contaminated. Priests who were supposed to lead people to enlightenment and ultimate liberation, started abusing their power and led people astray instead.
With that, the authority of religion in the West has all but collapsed. People have forgotten what purpose it once served, and turned away from it. The problem is though that having turned away from their tradition, they didn't have anything else to replace it with. So they turned to numerous sects and foreign schools of thought for solace.
This path gave some an illusion of 'pay and display' progress, or brainwashed them into self-denial and numbing their pain. But ultimately, it lead to a decay of society, slow and painful.
Cases of depression, anxiety, and mental diseases skyrocketed and for the first time in history overtook the number of heart failures in terms of lethality.
People who turned to 'spirituality' weren't much better off. In the absence of clear guidelines for what to look for, the seekers easily fell prey to unscrupulous 'gurus' and misinformed wannabes. Even the genuine spiritual practices that work well in the East, are not easily adoptable to the way our Western mind thinks and functions. This causes an inner conflict - and a growing weakness as a result. Think of all the numerous stories of yoga and meditation teachers becoming erratic or committing suicide. This is something most prefer not to talk about.
However, people are so desperate to find the algorithm that would once again set them free that they are willing to try anything. Someone had to give them a healthy alternative.
In the absence of true spiritual authority and clear guidelines, the discipline of self-development has largely turned into a mind-maiming trap saturated by the Shadow. Many people are not aware of this, but if you think logically, you will see clearly how it was an unavoidable course of things. Where there is no Light, the Shadow grows and thrives.
Trusting seekers are being encouraged to try many disciplines that for centuries were considered ‘forbidden’-and for a good reason. Practising them unprepared can seriously and sometimes irrevocably damage one’s mind and thinking abilities. Certain types of meditation (the Kundalini meditation, for example), as well as psychedelics, are a good example of this. Stay away from anyone who is advocating those methods to ‘expand consciousness’ and ‘achieve enlightenment’. Those fake teachers are either genuinely misled about what they are doing or they deliberately conceal the truth in order to sell their services. Many of those who trusted such ‘teachers’ ended up taking their lives, or being confined to an asylum or a life-worth dose of medications. The official medicine has not yet reached the level where it could help the victims of those schemes.
Naturally, not all principles used by self-development coaches are dangerous. However, without a Creed you have no way of clearly differentiating what you are dealing with. A clear set of guidelines of what to look for and what to avoid, allows you to navigate safely even through very grey and uncertain paths.
Many people are dimply aware of this, and so they try and adopt various philosophies from far away. It is certainly better than having nothing, but the issue with those schools of thought is that they had been created in a distant era and for a very different mindset from what we have now. Eastern doctrines are also intertwined with foreign religious beliefs and are based on languages that the majority of us don’t understand, such as Sanskrit, Pali, Tibetan, Japanese or Chinese.

Semperism is not a religion in the popular sense. It is a practical philosophy for empowering yourself everyday and crafting your life consciously.
The path of self-development – discovering inner power, freedom from pain and serving the world greatly – lies through the earnest and diligent efforts of removing of ignorance.
There are different ways of achieving this. Many people adopt the path of a listener – imagine someone who can’t read but wants to get educated, so he listens to audiobooks. Organised religions and other spiritual communities provide learning content, which can be helpful but being subscribed to it also means that the listener doesn’t have a choice about the speed and the direction. They can also he helpless in distinguishing good content from bad because it gets offered to them as a bundle with no option to choose. (A simple example: if you become a follower of an X religion, you have to adopt the beliefs and the attitudes that that religion proclaims, whether or not there are useful or technically correct.) However, what those followers loose in terms of customisation, they receive in terms of the community. Being surrounded with other people who share your values and support you on your journey is invaluable.
On the other hand, there are also people who prefer the path of solitary ascent. They teach themselves ‘to read’ and start choosing their own material and extract the knowledge from it – this is the magician’s path. Although fascinating, it’s lonely, ridden with dangers, and there is no guarantee of success. Unlike the listener, the magician doesn’t have proven algorithms or often even a genuine teacher that would take him to his goal. Because of that, his journey is longer and more strenuous than it could be if he was shown the way.
Adopting ARIYA Creed gives you benefits of both paths, while eliminating their pitfalls. We will teach you to ‘read’ like the magician does – you will gain the clarity and the freedom to choose which teachings work the best for you. We will show you how to get to your goal, how to avoid traps and how to heal yourself quickly and efficiently. And above all else, you will be supported by an inspiring community of fellow warriors who will be sharing this journey with you. No person, no matter how strong, can remain strong all the time. People inevitably make mistakes and have moments of doubt and darkness. What can be a fatal downfall when on your own though, has a good chance to be remedied if you’re surrounded with friends. We all need people who will get us up when we stumble, and who will inspire us to keep going when we fall on dark times.
Another important advantage of having a Creed is that it gives you a set of inner guidelines to keep you on the right track, help you make the best decisions, and allow you bounce back if you get knocked down. ARIYA Creed gives you ‘a manual to reality’ you live in, with tested and proven results.
You can practice Semperism without any preparation at all while teaching yourself from books and online lectures.
However, if you are serious about taking your self-development on a whole new level, taking a training will make a tremendous difference.
Our unique system is specially designed for people like you. People, who are committed to uncovering their life Purpose and true strength.
You will be able to break free from the reality that doesn’t make you justice, find your own Path and light the way for those who need your guidance.
Some of the benefits you will experience:
- Freedom from anxiety
- Improved focus and discipline
- The sense of inner power and finding a deeper meaning in life
- The feeling of balance and control
- Improved physical health and strength
- Developing your psychic skills so you can become yourself on a more profound level and serve the world greatly
Even after a self-development training, many people still play small. This is because the majority of systems out there tend to be distorted or incomplete, so following them rarely gives real results, no matter how much work you put in. To perform a true alchemy of the mind, you need a code of how to do it.
ARIYA Mind Training is such a code. It will help you understand what is stopping you from tapping into your true power, so you can discover how to set yourself free and make a profound difference in the world.
Our system comprises only 3 steps, and in the majority of cases taking the first two will be enough to radically improve and empower your life.
