Metaphysical Science

What does this term mean? Meta is the Latin word for beyond, so metaphysical simply means beyond the physical. Metaphysical science is the search for evidence of the paranormal realm.
In metaphysics there is a strong belief in the natural laws of the universe and once these laws are understood the lives of all will change.
It has been viewed by many as a fringe science. Yet philosophers and spiritual teachers throughout history have spoken of these natural laws. The Bible, Hindu and Buddhist scripture have all recognised these spiritual laws likened to a divine intelligence. Metaphysical science can be called the study of spiritual law.
Everything is energy. So says Albert Einstein. And we as human beings are part of that energy. As metaphysical science becomes more sophisticated we are discovering that these universal laws do exist.
Universal mind or one cosmic consciousness, which is another way of describing divine intelligence, could be likened to one giant computer servicing all the smaller ones that are our individual minds. This sphere of metaphysical science is the study of the spiritual laws.
There are many theories on spiritual science, one of which is the belief we are all spirits living out an experience through the mind. We also create this existence through the power of thought. Even though some of our experiences can seen bad, spiritual law says we still created them.
One example, if most people in the entire world are thinking aggressively then this can create a war. Collectively over millenniums we have created our world.
This one mind is in effect the God we have been connecting to through religious beliefs. But we are still learning and as we progress we can learn to utilize this power of thought to make our lives on earth more rewarding and peaceful.
There are also our individual lives to consider and although it's hard to believe, metaphysics says we also created them. Our reality is governed by our thoughts although we are mostly unaware of these. It’s hard to believe that we would create bad experiences. But it isn’t that easy to control your thoughts. Most of us are thinking more about what we don’t want rather than what we do. And in thinking about what we don’t want we are attracting the bad stuff too.
This brings us to one law that has had quite a lot of publicity. That is the law of attraction. Whole books have been written on just this one law, so all I’ll say on the subject is you attract what you are thinking of the most. Reminds me of a biblical quote, ‘You reap what you sow.’
As soon as a new law is discovered, like the law of gravity for example, experiments are made with it. Certain facts are collected. Experiments are done for proof and when it is proven a new law becomes scientific fact. This is what metaphysics does. It merges science, philosophy and spirit to study the paranormal.
Enlightenment has long been a path many have followed urged on by spiritual teachers of the past. Using metaphysical law to travel this path means using the approach of being more aware of ourselves and our surroundings. To be conscious is what we need. The definition of conscious is to be aware of our existence, sensations and thoughts.
What separates us in the one mind is sub-consciousness. This means being unaware of our own existence. Our minds are full of irrelevant things that blind us to what is truth. We need to step inside ourselves to seek that awakening to become aware. To become aware is to live consciously.
We are what we think. We are what we believe. This is what metaphysics teaches. If enough of us believe in this truth then we can change our individual lives, our one collective mind and so change our world into the best it can be.
