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.
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.
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. More
information can be found in our free
download, Direct Your Destiny:

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.
