Let's Get 'Metaphysical'

Metaphysics is the branch of philosophy that investigates principles of reality transcending those of any particular science, traditionally including cosmology and ontology. It is also concerned with explaining the ultimate nature of being and the world.Its name derives from the Greek words μετά (metá) (meaning "after") and φυσικά (physiká) (meaning "after talking about physics"), "physics" referring to those works on matter by Aristotle in antiquity.In English, though, "meta" means "beyond; over; transcending". Therefore, metaphysics is the study of that which transcends physics.

In a nutshell it deals with the energies and feelings which connect the human potential to a metaphysical influence or knowledge, often referred to as Spirit. Although we each have the ability to experience these influences, our individual human dramas and ego selves often make these feelings and influences difficult (if not impossible) to hear and understand

It is most important to understand that we each posses our own truth. You inwardly know your own answers, and no other individual, however powerful and important they may seem, should influence your life to the point of overpowering your own inner knowing.
