“Metaphysics means ‘beyond physics’. It is a fundamental philosophy, common to all sciences, philosophies and religions. It also deals with what is real, of verifiable existence, but neither tangible nor visible because it concerns what is beyond what can be perceived with the senses in the physical plane.
Andronicus Of Rhodes created the word “Metaphysics” in the first century BC. He classified the Greek philosopher, Aristotle’s works, giving a name to each part. He called “Metaphysics” what is beyond physics and deals with the first causes or God.
Metaphysics can be studied as ‘Academic Metaphysics’, which is purely theoretical and conceptual, and ‘Humanistic Metaphysics’, which is practical. The three basic disciplines – theology, ontology and gnoseology – are competencies of both.
- Metaphysics deals with the study of God – not from the doctrinal, religious or dogmatic perspective, but pragmatic, logical and scientific – like the ‘Totality of Life’, the Absolute and its Aspects. This is called ‘Theology’ or ‘Science of God’.
- Metaphysics deals with the science of the Being, entity or entities. This is called ‘Ontology’ or ‘I AM Science’, which corresponds to issues like what the Being is, coincidences or differences between the ‘Absolute Being’, the ‘Universal Being’ and the ‘Individual Being’. It studies the ‘I AM’, which is the first expression of oneself in the first person and is one of the first motivations of study, meditation and practice within Metaphysics. An explanation in more detail is in ‘The Sacred Book of I AM’ (El Sagrado Libro del YO SOY) by Master Saint Germain.
- Metaphysics deals with the pure knowledge of every existing issue, called ‘Gnoseology’, the ‘Science of Wisdom’ that studies the knowledge within everything, which eliminates ignorance and leads to the discovery of the Being and the supreme causes. This science is known as ‘Aetiology’ which raises questions such as ‘why is one in the world?’ ‘Why is there something and there is nothing?’ It also deals with the science of the substances of the things, called ‘Useology’. Additionally, it deals with the ‘inner world’ of each person, their philosophical considerations, along with their thoughts, feelings and virtues.
Metaphysics can be defined as a practical philosophy of daily life, which teaches to solve problems by using reason, the Aspects of Life, the Universal Principles, and the hidden natural powers to stop being victims of circumstances. It is “the Practice of the Presence of God” and explains that God wishes only good for everybody.
Practised Metaphysics is a rational, logical and sensible ‘philosophy of life’. It also is “Magic Teaching” that through its practice, resolves difficulties and through its answers to the questions about existence tends to make people happy.”
