METAPHYSICS THE
BEGINNING
Metaphysics the Beginning
Metaphysics is the foundation of philosophy
Before we start to discuss this topic it would be helpful to understand were it came from. “Metaphysical” comes from the Greek word “meta” meaning "beyond" and “physical” refers to “natural or material”.
With out an explanation or an interpretation of the world around us, we would be helpless to deal with reality.
We could not feed ourselves, or act to preserve our lives. The degree to which our metaphysical worldview is correct is the degree to which we are able to comprehend the world, and act accordingly.
Without this firm foundation, all knowledge becomes suspect. Any flaw in our view of reality will make it more difficult to live.
As we combine beyond with physical which pertains to the real or touchable we get a better idea why many today fear anything that can not be seen or touched.
The metaphysical field is not easily defined. There is so much information about the origins and philosophy it is not easy to put into easy terms.
I will do my best to do just that.
Philosophy, Religion, Mysticism, Yoga, ESP, Dreams, Jungian Psychology, Astrology, Meditation, Self-Help Studies, Positive Thinking, Life After Death, Reincarnation, etc. are all terms associated with Metaphysics today.
A person who studies Metaphysics or Metaphysical Science would be called either a meta-physicist or a metaphysician. The metaphysician attempts to clarify the fundamental notions by which people understand the world, including existence, the definition of Object (philosophy), Property (philosophy), space, time, causality, and possibility.
Metaphysics the Beginning starts with Socrates an Aristotle {384 b.c - 322 b.c} who are credited for this philosophy.
I am not going to get into all the origins here. We are more interested in how it will benefit us today.
The Metaphysical Dictionary will give you a great idea of terms while the Founders of Metaphysics will talk in depth about this.
People who study this important spiritual field today see It as a spiritual philosohy of life. As I said before it is so wide ranging, with fields of study such as, Psychics. Meditation, Yogis, Mystics, channels and all Positive Thinking teachers.
New Thought Teachers and all of us who study these principals of natural laws seriously, help us to better understand Existence.
Ernest Holmes the founder of Religious Science said one day he would hope that science and religion would come together to help prove the existence of GOD. I believe this is happening. I know that with all the great works that are available to us, and in this website you will find a lot of information to study. We are better able to see GOD working in our life's.
So study on and it will be revealed to you. To fully understand these teachings, will take work. We only get out of life what we put into it.
Metaphysics the Beginning is just that, a place to start. Continue on with the rest of the pages and you will be happy you did.
Aristotle once said:
“One swallow does not make a summer, neither does one fine day; similarly one day or brief time of happiness does not make a person entirely happy.“
