The Metaphysical
Excessively subtle or abstract. Not
empirically verifiable, immaterial, incorporeal, supersensible; supernatural. That transcends matter or the physical. Fanciful, imaginary.
Oxford Dictionary
All things metaphysical are fashionable at present as we enter the ‘New Dark
Age’ that is dominated by ancient, sacred, spiritual and other-worldly concepts. Ancient healings and esoteric medicines, divinations and
prophecies, energies and auras, folk tales and legends, gurus and shamans, fairies and goddesses, sacred sites and cosmic planes, chakras
and levels of consciousness, telepathy and spiritualism, visions and entities, ESP and UFO’s, somas and souls, mysticism and meditation,
rituals and rites, reincarnations and past lives, karmas and dharmas, devils and demons … they all testify to the vast extent of
metaphysical beliefs. When one really investigates one finds that everyone believes in the metaphysical – without the hope of a
‘something else’, ‘someone else’ or ‘somewhere else’ the suffering of humanity would be unbearable.
Actual freedom offers a freedom from this ‘self’-imposed, imaginary meta-physical world of
good and evil, right and wrong as the very instinctual biological roots of suffering and malice are totally eliminated with the extinction
of one’s own psyche.
