 What is Metaphysics?
Once upon a time there was a little girl, we shall call her Faith. Little Faith was able to do extraordinary things of what she thought was normal.
For example, one day out in her back yard she clapped her hands and thunder was heard from above, when there were no clouds in the sky. Another example is when she laid her hands on a cat that was hit by a vehicle and according to reports, had saved its life.
Was she different than other children her age? She was asked one day by a grown up "What do you want to be when you grow up"? Her answer was "I want to be someone that studies things outside ourselves".
Could she have meant Metaphysics? Metaphysics is truly a study of things that occur outside ourselves. I've been involved with metaphysics for years, way before it became a trendy word. Let's investigate the word. What does it really mean?
The word metaphysics derives from the Greek language. Meta means after or beyond. Physics means the physical.
In order to keep this in perspective of it true form let's apply it to where it makes sense and is practical.
A person who studies an area of something that occurs outside ourselves and learns that there is a power greater than we are could be considered a metaphysician. Far too often people misuse the word calling themselves metaphysical when they don't practice what the meaning implies. Basically one has a need to feel connected to that power from which all things are positive.
Being connected to that Universal power is what makes a person metaphysical. In other words, a person that is metaphysical is someone that has hope, believes, allows, forgives, heals and most important-has faith.
Lo and behold, that little girls name is Faith and she probably didn't even realize that she already is a person that learns about things that happens outside ourselves, and is letting it channel through.
