Subject: Metaphysical Terms 101: Basics,
Misconstrued and Misused 


Misunderstandings regarding metaphysics
and spirituality abound. Our empirical
research since the 1980s has allowed us
to realize, what we believe to be, the
authentic meanings of the following spiritual
terms.

Be cautious of “updated” definitions and

alternative versions of these important
terms, as in many cases they have been
construed to fit the author’s agenda and
profit goals. Redefining spiritual truths is
like re-writing history--it’s misleading and
disrespectful to your audience and the
ancient sages and philosophers who
worked tirelessly to enlighten the world.

Mystic: This word can conjure up images
of crazy old men with long, white beards
or worse, thanks to Hollywood.


The American Heritage dictionary defines

mysticism as consciousness of transcendent
reality or of God through deep meditation or
contemplation. Mystic is defined as of or
relating to religious mysteries or occult rites
and practices; one who practices or believes
in mysticism.

We add to the term mystic the following: a

spiritually sensitive individual and, or one who
is actively involved in personal growth and
self-realization, and who searches deeply into
the meaning of life. Therefore, we believe
many of you reading this article are mystics.

Metaphysics: This word sounds complicated,

but it’s actually quite simple. Meta means
beyond, so metaphysical translates into
beyond the physical. It’s the field of
philosophy concerned with the study of the
nature of existence, beings, space, time, and
causality.

Higher-self: Your super-consciousness or
sixth sense. You could also refer to it as your

“God-self.” This is that mysterious side of

yourself that you access under meditation

and, or, for example, when you have piercing

psychic insight about the future.


Destiny: The bulk of the conditions and key

circumstances in your life which are planned

out by your soul before incarnating. This,

however, doesn’t mean you can’t influence

(see the next definition) and make the most

of your life.


This is one of the most misused and
misunderstood spiritual words, especially

among those we call “New Age cheerleaders”

(inspirational-focused authors). They claim to

be able to show
you how to “create” or
“change” your destiny. Wouldn’t that be nice?
Whatever you want, it’s yours! Well, we

believe the reputable ancient mystics
were
right: Destiny is fixed and already in
motion
when you are born. Just like you
can’t sober
up right after downing several
drinks, you
can’t skip the karma you have
carried into
this life.


Free Will: How you react to your destiny
or the events that “happen to you” is your
free will. You have free will to “create” and
“manifest” what you’d like, as long as that
goal is within the confines of your destined
path.

Unfortunately, no matter how much you want
something and no matter how clear your

intent and how devoted you are to getting it,
if
it’s not part of your destiny, it’s not going to
happen. The cheerleaders (and poets) fail to

mention this, as their followers realizing the
cold, hard spiritual realities of life would mean
less seminar revenue and fewer book sales.


Are your main choices destined? We believe

so. As we outline a person’s past and future

circumstances through our work, it does
appear to us that even the key “choices”

they make are predestined. We’ve also

found that your richest rewards are also

predetermined, so have faith that you will
realize what you’ve earned.

Taking note of these theories and
incorporating the philosophies into your
spiritual awareness, after testing them
yourself, will save you an enormous amount
of time and heartache. At the same time, be
sure to objectively weigh other points
of
view.
