My explanation of
this world is that it is the application of detachment, objectivity, and a form
of “scientific method” and rationality to the non-physical parts of reality (counting merely unseen matters such as X-rays as physical, for the
purposes of this explanation).
This attitude has led
to some interesting developments in Asia over several millennia - probably best
known these days to many in the West through those few portions of the great
science of Yoga which have become popular, and possibly matters such as Reiki
and the discipline methodology of Buddhism.
In the West, my personal
exposure to this term came through the writings of the very controversial
author, Lobsang Rampa, where psychism was separated from religion and mysticism
– and that is a point worth adding, so let’s explain metaphysics as:
the application of detachment, objectivity, and a form of “scientific
method” and rationality to the non-physical parts of reality in a way that
separates psychism from the dogma of religion and the vagueness of mysticism.
Note that this is my definition: for others, try seeing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaphysics,
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/metaphysics
(not a bad tie-in to philosophy, there)
and http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/metaphysics/
- and any of the links an Internet search will lead you to, although it would
be better to focus on the credible sources, if you can J
As of the time this
definition was written, I’ve touched on this idea in the following posts:
