Why are certain individuals drawn to the world of metaphysics?

1.  Because they have desire to be something greater than they perceive themselves or "man" to be.

2.  To overcome feelings of dissatisfaction, unhappiness and unfulfillment which they are experiencing.

3.  To understand themselves.  (They may begin their pursuit of knowledge seeking to understand others, but soon find their real quest deals with self-understanding.)

These are only a few of the reasons a person seeks answers to his dilemmas by delving into the ancient wisdoms.  There are probably as many reasons as there are people seeking change in their lives.

Some of the realizations that are brought to the fore are:

1.  An open mind and an open nature are a must for the acquisition and internalization of knowledge.

2.  Ego is important, but the ego must remain unclouded.

3.  Balance is required in the development of the Mental, Emotional, Spiritual and Physical Bodies.  This balance can be attained through study, meditation, centering, exercise and proper diet, with attention to a daily discipline in these areas.

4.  Fear must be erased from the consciousness.  It is our only enemy...fear of lack, fear of failure, fear of success, fear of loss, fear of sickness, or a feeling of insecurity at some level.  A Positive Faith must replace fear as fear is only inverted faith.  It is faith in a negative outcome rather than a good one.

5. Mental attitude is the cause, experience is the effect.  Feelings of insecurity come from making the externals of life (experience) causes, when, in reality, they are the effects.

6. Change your mode of thought and you will change your future, for your future is really your present made manifest.

7. In order to control emotions, you must maintain control of your thoughts and mental images.

8. Whatever is held in the consciousness until it becomes a part of the subjective side of thought tends to take place in the physical world.

9. Never affirm inwardly anything you would not wish to experience outwardly.  Thought is a measurable force in nature and is capable of bringing about change in human beings other than the originator of the thought.  

The Thought was first,

The Word was spoken,

The Manifestation took place.

10. The key to finding our answers lies within,.

11. What goes around, comes around.  (The Eternal Wheel).

12. The fear (knowledge) of the Lord (law) is the beginning of Wisdom.

13. Every man/woman is you teacher.

14. The Law of Forgiveness transcends all other laws...even the Law of Karma.

The study of Metaphysics, Mental or Physical, can become a source of great satisfaction.  It all depends on you, how you use what you learn and your motives for the study.  Metaphysics will become an integral part of your daily existence...the way you think, the way you approach situations and the way you react to experiences that are presented.  You cannot enter a course of study such as this and emerge the same person you were when you started.  The changes may be very subtle at first, but in time you will discover what you are, where you are going and why you are here.  Your self-esteem will soar and your confidence will grow.  Now isn't that a good feeling?

Growth is progress.  You must allow yourself time to grow into real understanding.  Be patient with yourself.  Realize that you all that you are dealing with.  Don't become too engrossed with setting goals for yourself because the thing that will pass you by, if the goals become all-important, is life itself.  Each day is special and should be lived for itself.  Each moment is precious and should be cherished.

Catch you later,
