Metaphysics

(Meta, ÒafterÓ or ÒbeyondÓ; physics ÒphysicalÓ)

Originally, the study or philosophy dealing with cause - i. e. non-physical, spiritual, or non-material realities. Currently, it usually means the practice of magick, psychic, or the occult.

The term metaphysics originally referred to the writings of Aristotle that came to light after his writings on physics, in the arrangement made by Andronicus of Rhodes, about three centuries after Aristotle's death.

Traditionally, metaphysics refers to the branch of philosophy that attempts to understand the fundamental nature of all reality, whether visible or invisible.

It seeks a description so basic, so essentially simple, and so all-inclusive that it applies to everything, whether divine or human or anything else. It attempts to tell what anything must be like in order to be at all.

Through discrimination, the seeker has to isolate the pure innermost Self from the mental coverings.

The Self is only reflected in the clear mind.

The Self, as pure Awareness, has to be seen as being distinct from body and mind.

Idealism is the doctrine that whatever exists, or at least everything that can be known to exist, is mental. (Opposed to materialism: "All there is, is matter")

On this view, tables may be real, and independent of our sensations of tables, as long as they are something like ideas - and provided ideas can cause sensations.

Our sensations of tables are to some extent subjective, the sensations cannot exist except in perception. Therefore, nothing can be immediately known except what is in the mind.

All metaphysical powers relating to the psychic and paranormal phenomena can be practically manifested by you ... today!

You can accomplish it by:

1. going to the alpha level of mind.

2. using your visualizing faculty

your mind has tremendous energy. it cannot be easily measured. but it can be partially felt as consciousness. where your consciousness goes, so goes the energy of your mind. it is this 'mind energy' not 'brain energy' that is the source of your metaphysical power!

Did you ever see something go wrong around you and suddenly burst out, How on Earth did I create that? Really, how can bad things happen, even to the sweetest, kindest, most spiritual people on the planet? Where's the fairness in that?

The root of the question lies partly in the fact that we live in a state of polarity consciousness. This is a point of view where life is seen as a contrast between opposing forces, and that events are either good or bad.

Good or bad is a judgment issue. Judgment belongs within the frequency band of basic, physical consciousness. Yes, in physical consciousness, bad things do exist, and they appear that way because they're designed to.

Only direct Knowledge can be the cause for Liberation. Action by itself cannot destroy our illusions and delusions. It is because of our ignorance that we appear to be finite. When ignorance is destroyed by

Knowledge, the Self reveals Itself by itself, like the sun when the clouds are removed.

One tends to remember God, when one thinks he needs the Almighty the most i.e. at a time of difficulty. Most of the problems and difficulties that come upon us are created by other fellow human beings; and we try to either conquer the difficulty or the individual who we believe has caused it.

Praying the right way helps us overcome this situation.

The Hebrew 'Kabbala' or 'Science of Prophets' is a book containing the ancient mysteries. The mystic diagrams in it have an esoteric meaning. The Solomon's Seal is one such mystic diagram. It helps to bring two people together. But there's a price to pay. You must be willing to let the person leave if that is his or her will. The Seal will not control. It can only send an irresistible attractive force to bring you together ... that simply means ... it can bring you together, but cannot keep you together.

Here is how to use it:

Intelligence does not in and of itself bring happiness. What brings happiness is acceptance. There is no purpose to intelligence, it is inherent within the energy of all that is. Intelligence and energy are one and the same. Energy is intelligence. Intelligence is energy.

Happiness is a result of acceptance. Those who operate with greater mental constraints, for whatever reason, sometimes seem to have an easier time accepting their circumstances, their environment, and themselves, because they are not given to long- winded inner dialoguing and mental journeys into the various nuances of their perceived reality. And so a socalled simple minded person can shrug their shoulders and carry on, accept what is, and that is what creates the avenue for the experience of happiness.

No choice in life is without a cost. Each decision to choose something necessarily costs us the option of keeping something else. In most cases having the cake and eating it is just an illusion.

In many cases we choose the wrong option. Without the power of foresight choice is a gamble, and as with most gambles odds are theoretically even. Since human nature is to mourn losses far more than celebrate gains, end result of a sequence of choices is mostly dissatisfaction. Why must we choose? Why can't we accept contradictions in life? Choices appear to give us freedom; in reality they constrain us instead of liberating us.

Thoughts are things. You have probably heard this idea at one time or another. You have probably nodded your head in agreement, understanding that thoughts are in fact, things. You probably believe this and accept that your thoughts, being things, do in fact have power.

Have you really thought about this? Do you apply this to your day-to-day life? Hopefully you do, because your every thought and word is contributing to your life experience.

For openers, your thoughts produce your emotions, which, in turn, result in how you feel about a particular event occurring in your life.

We are normally acquainted with anything of which we are directly aware, without any inference or knowledge of truth.

Am I acquainted with sensations, or with physical objects, or with myself, or with other people?

We know something by description if we know that it exists and what it is like, and are not acquainted with it.

About:

-       Nature Of Matter

-       Nature Of Existence

-       Appearance and Reality

-       Existence Of Matter

-       Nature Of God

-       Idealism

We shall now take it for granted that matter, physical objects, the external world exist e.g. that there is a real table which exists independently of our sensations and of which the sensed qualities are the appearances.

The question is then: What is that matter like? To this question science provides one answer and it is very different from the answer of common sense belief.

The general rule we normally accept is: "All things which I perceive/conceive clearly and distinctly are true."

But one can easily raise the objection that: "Does God exist, is he a deceiver who gives us the sense of clear and distinct perceptions of unreal things?"

They say that Life is only Existence visible. That birth and death are only constructs in the mind, two points in time, taken to be Reality by one ignorant of the true nature of the Self, the entity which expresses itself as Existence itself, the pure Consciousness.

"There is no such thing as death, it is only the body that dies. Can anyone ever say 'I am dead'? Who knows 'I am'?"

This knowledge-principle is the all-pervasive, it is ever-existent. It is the false identification with the body that is the cause of grief and sorrow.

The human species is a three part being - mind, body and spirit. The mind is what drives us, the spirit is our personality or ego, and the body is the vehicle that is used to experience the physical world. To experience physicality, one needs to be physical, it's natural then to be focused on the body and its needs.

Most all of our waking hours are centred on what the body wants to experience. There is nothing wrong with this arrangement, and it works flawlessly and on auto-pilot throughout our lifetimes with or without our awareness of what makes it tick.
