WHAT IS METAPHYSICS?
The word Metaphysics comes to us from Ancient Greece, a combination of two words: Meta meaning over or beyond and physics meaning the physical, material world. Thus, the combination refers to such concerns that are beyond or transcend the material world. In the common way of speaking, such questions are considered religious, spiritual, or possibly philosophical, depending on the person asking them.
Metaphysical beliefs, therefore, are the result of passionate endeavors to find purpose in our human existence, searching for a balanced interpretation and explanation of how things really are and what we are. A person could be considered metaphysical if his or her focus is on an experiential, subjective path of truth, seeking the true essence of Being that is in alignment with the Highest Truth and Love, regardless of the name given.
Metaphysics contributes a fundamental level of understanding derived from experience and advanced intuitive knowing on how things “really are.” However, when considered from the spiritual perspective, metaphysics is not only the pursuit of Truth; it also offers service to the greater good of humankind.
Fantastic definition. A fine addition to the glossary. I’m back after a long hiatus to focus on my music projects. I hope this finds you well. Looking forward to catching up further. Warmest regards!
