Metaphysical = of metaphysics

(used with a sing. verb) Philosophy. The branch of philosophy that examines the nature of reality, including the relationship between mind and matter, substance and attribute, fact and value.

I am going to use some license here other than the dictionary definition. What we are going to focus on in its various guises is that which is beyond or parallel with the physical. (That which we perceive with our usual five senses) You could, in its broadest term, call it that of the ethers or spirituality if you wish.

So in the deep dark annals of my history I had a deep and abiding inner urge to search out and look for more than meets the eye or ear for that matter. This led to some interesting findings and journeying. From these deep yearnings came experiences with a self hypnosis group and doing extrasensory experiments with time, with sound and with telepathy. I found enough evidence to substantiate my sense that there were other energies around; we do have an energy field surrounding the body. I used a machine that took photographs of the energy field around the fingertips and observed the evidence of these changing fields. I also met those who had used their ability to see and sense other energies. When participating in a magnetic healing workshop, I could feel the pressure of the energy emanating from the hand that was close by.

There are many, many mystical writings of personal experience of that which is beyond the usual ken of our senses. So, there is something to all this other stuff or there are a lot of extremely delusional or mad people around. Despite the fact that I think that there are anyway, we will not go down that track. It is the work of the poets, the mystics, the great sages, the wise men and women of the ages that we will be focusing on.

You may say to yourself, well that is all well and good, but what use is it? Good question and we will address this in various and maybe roundabout ways. For sometimes a straight path is really boring unless of course there is something to eat at the end of it. Seriously though, the journey is really important wherever it should lead.

Just as we hominids eat, drink, urinate and defecate, so too, do we all have and are composed of other patterns of energy that is mostly unseen. We also have access to enormous energy and power. This can be witnessed in the experiences of many people who have performed extraordinary actions when circumstances dictated the necessity.

The main area of limitation that we experience is in, or from, our own limited or blinkered ideas on what can and can not be. Once upon a time the world was thought and believed to be flat. Once upon a time people were castigated and made to repent for stating the blasphemous idea that the earth revolved around the sun. It is well to remember these glaring instances of limited thinking when investigating anything. An open and aware mind is one of the greatest attributes you will find in searching.
