A JOURNEY WORTH TAKING: Metaphysics Revealed

DISCOVERING THAT AN UNKNOWN ROAD EXISTS TAKES STUDYING.  THE ABILITY TO TRAVEL ON IT TAKES COURAGE.

Quantum physics has given way to knowledge like Metaphysics.  Metaphysics is defined as and means going beyond the physical or things higher than the physical.  When metaphysics is defined and applied to us – the physical or human, it begins to take shape as a study of the mind.

Meta- as a prefix word means causing a change, alteration, or alternation of our metabolism or a metamorphosis.  Physics comes from the Greek word for Nature. One definition of Nature is our combination of qualities belonging to us by birth. Your inherent character – human nature.  Nature by definition is our instincts or inherent tendencies which direct our conduct.  Nature is something we are born with, and it is part of the total of the forces at work throughout the universe.

As a branch of study, Metaphysics falls under Philosophy.  Philosophy is the conscientious pursuit of truth by researching the origins and relates to the nature of the human psyche. Philosophy plays a crucial role in understanding the spiritual aspect of knowledge.  Philosophy is knowledge or a body of knowledge and by its definition – The etymology of Philosophy is from Philo-meaning loving, and Sophia meaning knowledge, wisdom, and learning. Philosophy is the love of wisdom or knowledge. It requires thinking, thought and actions of the mind.  So, when you look at the word metaphysics from the context of its definition, it means – a branch of knowledge which goes beyond our physical nature.  It is the study of the knowledge and wisdom that is higher than our physical or body knowledge. It deals with the action of the mind.  It is the study of the Mind, which goes beyond our rational human nature.  However, it is this high knowledge that is part of, and that controls our instinct, conduct, and character.  We are born with this higher knowledge, and it is part of the forces that work throughout the universe.  As we study and apply the philosophies of metaphysics, it causes changes within us.

Metaphysics is the belief that everything which exists is more extensive than its physical properties.  It is a study applied explicitly to the mind-body problem also called Philosophy of the Mind.  It has a mental and theological view that all is one and there are no divisions and that a set of laws behind this inspires all of nature. In addition to this, metaphysics is the belief that there are two kinds of reality – Physical and Spiritual.  These are all a part of the Philosophy of Mind.

In looking at the study of this philosophy, there are some who say that Metaphysics is not a science.  They question whether the discipline is truly studying something real.  These people are looking for tangible or physical proof. They see the knowledge of metaphysics as questionable.  Yes, some concepts of metaphysics may seem rather questionable to one looking for physical proof.  True to the definition and etymology metaphysics its branches of knowledge goes beyond the physical sciences in areas of the unknown incorporating subjects such as the study of the occult and mysticism.  Which some view as hocus pocus.  However, the occult and mysticism are actually misunderstood knowledge.  They are part of Esoteric Knowledge, a sophisticated and advance comprehensive philosophy that comes from on a body of knowledge called “Ageless Wisdom.”   This wisdom gave birth to Mysticism, Esotericism, Metaphysical Systems, Meditation, the Sacred Arts, Eastern Philosophies, Meditation, and other areas of knowledge.  Some of the greatest minds in history have been attracted to these philosophies including Freud and Maslow.

Although, this knowledge may not fully be accepted in many academic and scientific communities now, the day is quickly approaching where we will all see and realize the power, beauty, wisdom, and truth in this knowledge.  The roads of studying metaphysics and all of the Ageless Wisdom are not for the feeble-minded nor those with fixed and anchor attitudes.   These ideas and concepts tap into an energy flow that causes a new awakening into spontaneous growth.  Those ready to travel these roads will quickly find they are on A Journey Worth Taking.
