Whether we are religious or not, we can appreciate the wonder of the world we live in. Einstein believed that curiosity is important, too. This inspiring quote can help us be grateful for the mysteries of the universe. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science.” “The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. When we speak of Physics, we are all familiar with the term “Quantum Physics” if we are at all familiar with works of esteemed individuals such as Einstein, a renowned scientist with an absolutely brilliant mind, he was essentially an authentic and great philosopher. Let me put it in far simpler and really, more realistic, authentic terms. In simple terms, the words we speak and know, often have a secret meaning not always known or understood by the average person.Ī broader explanation known to the masses of humanity and taken at face value is called the ‘exoteric,’ and a deeper hidden spiritual meaning called ‘esoteric’ which is that which is the truth understood only by a small group initiated into the secret mysteries. Most of the words we speak today have a dual meaning, (this is what is known as an esoteric meaning). In Neurolinguistics, understanding the meaning of a word is important to using the word in a descriptive manner. And, simply, that’s a synopsis of what the modern world describes in an academic way the practice of Metaphysics.īut there exists a definitively more ancient and more "esoteric" conception of the word as Metaphysics. In Metaphysics, a universal is something which is comprised of or has the appearance of, certain specified things which share things in common, (namely characteristics or qualities.) In other words, universals are repeatable or recurrent entities that can be instantiated or exemplified by many things. Would that not, then, make sense that although our bodies are mortal, our essence, our Souls are not?Other areas of study and interest include time, free will, meaning and value, causation, substance, appearance vs. Energy is the ONLY thing that cannot be destroyed, it can only be transformed. And the term “physics” (which is inclusive of mathematics, chemistry, biology, etc.) is the study of the physical world, concerned with discovering and describing the properties and interactions of physical objects (which now explicitly includes energy), Finally, the essence of what we truly ARE is recognized by the technical perspective of the World. Philosophers are masters who dedicate their souls to understanding and explaining the innermost secrets of our world that are known as esotericism. The word, philosophy means the lover (philo) of wisdom (sophia). What is the exact nature of the interaction between mind (mental phenomena) and body (physical phenomena)? What is consciousness? How can we come to have knowledge of minds other than our own? What is knowledge? What is truth? How do we know anything at all? Do we know anything, really? Does the world/reality exist independently of our knowledge of it? What is there? What exists? What is it like? Here are some examples of the areas that Metaphysics deals with. In fact, it is a “meta-science”, or a scientific description of the laws and principles that make the physical sciences possible and understandable in the first place. Metaphysicians are primarily individuals that question that which lies beyond or behind those capable of being tackled by the physical sciences. For this reason, and NOT because it is unscientific, Metaphysics is a branch of philosophy and not science. These are the laws and principles that make the laws and principles that science describes and discovers possible and coherent. Metaphysics is concerned with the study of the principles that make objects, properties, interactions and principles possible in the first place. So, when used in that context it would concern those things that would fall under the category of Philosophy but yet, Metaphysics can, and is, also used in the Healing professions as well. The prefix “Meta- “means that which lies beyond (even to the point of transcending.) So, meta-physical means that which lies beyond, even underlying what is known or explained as that which is in nature, even transcending what is known of the physical World. Often, in understanding the meaning behind a "label," it is best to break it down phonetically. We are not our bodies, our bodies are vessels that hold the Energy that creates the essence of all that we are, all we have been, and regardless of one’s religious perceptions, all that we will become. Metaphysics deals with the study of the fundamental nature of reality and existence itself.
