I have been asked about the science of metaphysics many times over the last twenty years. One of the most asked is: What does the subject cover? But right behind that is: Is it about ghosts and spiritual world?

I don’t think it is about ghost and the spiritual world at all. It does have the reputation of looking into subjects that are unknown to other science fields. But, that is why we need metaphysics. It does look into the unknown.

The best description I can give about metaphysics is that it’s the science of finding the right questions to ask about an unknown thing.

Once the right question is found and it makes enough sense to have a logical conclusion, then that question usually becomes it’s own science.  At one time, gravity, the atmosphere, the lights in the night sky were all approached from a spiritual angle of questioning.  But, once some insight was gained, and many hundreds of years of thinking was accomplished, the right questions began to come into view. Quite literally into view, as with the telescope and the microscope, for instance.

So, is metaphysics finished.  Not by a long shot.  There is still many unknowns in the world. Such as. what is consciousness?  We still haven’t found the right questions to ask about that subject.  And there are many, many more questions about our reality that we haven’t yet found the right instruments or tools to get at them in such a way as to form questions.

Is there other dimensions? This question is much about Gravity, because in many ways Gravity is still a very invisible subject to our sciences. Sure, we can see it interaction on our reality and we can quantify the force, but it’s not the whole picture.  Much of what we know as the force of gravity is not interacting with the stuff we see. It is leading researchers and physicist to consider the possibility of other dimensions which might explain where the undetectable fraction of gravity is manifesting.

What is a dimension? Where is a dimension? These are the questions that metaphysics think about and work on until a better question is formed that might lead to actual answers.

Another phenomenon, which has yet to have the right questions asked about it, is what happens after we die?  From the accounts of many people who have actually died and had what is known as a Near Death Experience, we get have sworn statements and must take them seriously.

So, we search for the right questions. What do people see?  What is the tunnel and the bright light at the end of it?

Answers then flood in from the other sciences. DMT from the brain, some say. Jesus and God, some say? It’s just a hallucination, other say.  and we can get no further that that because for one we have no way of recording and observing the actual event. And we don’t know the right questions to ask the witnesses.

Sure, we can say what did you see.  But, crime scene investigations will show you that many people don’t know what they are looking at most the time. So, we have to find tools and that involves finding the right questions to ask, so that a science — and no one knows which one — can invent a machine or a measuring device that will bring back data and concrete evidence.

So, metaphysics in a nutshell is a science that looks for the best questions to ask.

See, science is easy. Anyone can do it.

In all things thou undertake
to do or think
use the gifts given unto you,
without rashness or severity,
having a reverence
demeaning yourself peaceably
to the profit of yourself
and your neighbors respectably.

Live to yourself
and the Muses
avoid the friendship
of the Multitudeness:
Be covetous of time,
it is beneficial to all men.
Use thy Gifts,
be thou ever vigilant

Age of Ages: Life’s Secret Menu

Thadd Presley

It was the fourth venue on John’s tour. He’d sold more than three hundred books, everyone of them signed, and shook nearly a thousand hands. He was getting into the swing of things, when he was stopped in his tracks by a man in a wheel chair.

The man held his hand up to John and waited for him to shake it, which of course John did. The way the man sat made the twist in his spine obvious and it brought reality rushing in on him.

Why did these things happen? Why are people crippled? Why do I get to think an achy back is any reason to whine and fall into depression?

The man in the wheelchair smiled as he held up John’s book. His thin arms shook with the weight of it. John’s breath shook in his chest and a sob escaped his lips.

Everyone noticed. The man in the wheelchair looked john directly in the eye and exhaled a slow breath, in an effort not to cry himself. John took the book, signed it quickly, and laid it in the man’s lap.

Then, he took a card from his back pocket and help it out to the man. “I’ve got to go on stage now. But, please call me tomorrow at noon. I want to speak with you.”

A woman standing near the man reached for the card. She took it and nodded her head. “He’s looking forward to it.”

“Yes, ma’am So am I.”

On stage John spoke to a crowd of nearly two hundred people, who had come to the Hyatt Regency to hear him talk about what he thought life was and what people are.

“By the time we are teenagers, most of us have been taught to believe in only what we can see. All the wonder, fantasy, miracles, and magick of the world, while encouraged in the early years, is quickly discouraged as we get old enough to act upon them. The moment it seems we might be in a place to make our belief in the invisible world a reality, we are told that it’s childish. If we insist with our interests in the invisible things and things actually begin to happen, we are shunned and told that only demons will give us the things we desire. To get happiness and become fulfilled, we must have sold our soul to the devil.

“The powers that control our culture and society want us to know what is out there. They tell us that we can have all of these amazing things that exist in the universe. But, they warn, it’s wrong to want them. So, we’re not being denied the gift’s of the universe. We’re not having our happiness taken away.

“Oh no.

“Eventually, we’ve become convinced that it’s an evil impulse and a selfish desire to want worldly treasures and beautiful things. We chose to forfeit our rights as the Prince or Princess of the Universe, as a living Child of God, and we’ve forgotten the amazing temple we are: a temple that houses the creator’s spirit and acts as the sanctified connection between us and the infinite treasures of timeless wealth and knowledge.

“But, it’s our creator’s will for us to live fulfilling lives and have abundance overflowing. More times than we realize, we are blind to the real treasures of life. We are on the receiving end of unlimited lifeline of happiness and pleasure, but we disconnect ourselves.

“Life has a secret menu that we are taught to ignore. We close our eyes to the reality of receiving gifts from the universe.

“We believe it’s demons and devils that grant our wishes, but what if the universe is a mechanism built for the sole purpose of fulfilling your desires. This is hard to believe because it seems as if the universe is actually working against our will.

“And perhaps it is. But, it doesn’t have to be that way.”

The audience did not stand when they clapped, but John liked that best because it meant they were thinking.

Three Keys to the Magic of Receiving

I realize that most people think they want money because they’d be able to buy all the things they want. But what if I were to tell you that money is an illusion, a distraction from the real things you truly want in your life. You’ve heard it all before: money can’t buy you happiness. And, if you’re honest with yourself, you know it’s true. But, what it really means is that money can’t buy you the things that create a happy life. All the little such as: a good job, a peaceful home life, sense of accomplishment, love, true friends, people to lead, and a direction to follow.
Do you even know what you want?
If you do, do you know how to get it?
Here are three keys to receiving your desires. I’ve covered them before, but this is a stripped down version that will, hopefully, give you a better understanding of what you want and how to get it.

First off, I want to say that most people aren’t supposed to have this knowledge. It’s forbidden for a reason. You have to have a basic understanding of the mechanism that controls the universe before will begin to make sense. It will take more than reading this to get you up to speed on how and why you are in control of your experience and your reality. There are three keys that will truly manifest things into your life, but you have to be careful. Please read: 14 Laws of the Universe and try to put into practice the guidelines you find there.
Second, not everyone can grasp this technique. Especially the focusing aspect. Distractions are near and dear to us all, but some of us are complete slaves to their distraction. I want to urge you that, even if you don’t believe this will work for you and never plan to try it, you should still put some effort into distancing yourself from your distractions. Be it your cell phone, television, Netflix, Youtube, Yahoo news, the news in general, you should spend a few minutes everyday just sitting lone with yourself learning to enjoy the sound of your own mind. This will create all kinds of happiness for you.
Third, for those you who are certain of your powers and have had a peek into the secret workings of reality, there is a warning even for you. The more you learn about this and the more you practice creating your own life, things will seem easier and more rewarding. But, there is a price to pay. You will lose friends — some who are dear to you — and you will find yourself alone more and more.

I admit, on the surface, both of these symptoms appear to be terrible and lonely, and they truly are at first. But, over time you will learn that you were using those people to mask the fact of your were not spending quality time with yourself. You were getting to know other people to replace not knowing yourself.

Below are the three keys:

Number One:  Intention:

You must have good intentions concerning the things you desire. Many people have fear or hate at the core of their desire. This is an element of black magic and will not turn out well. So, why do you want what you want? It would be wise to think about your desires carefully. Imagine what your life would be like if you had already received your desire. How does it made you feel? How would your life be different? How has your desire affected the people around you? Will your desire affect people you don’t know?

Spend time imagining in great detail your desires appearing in your life. Do they come all at once or it a gradual accumulation.

The Second Key: Emotion

Emotion is the energy you use to will your desire into reality. You must get this right. If you feel more emotion and see it clearly, the faster it will happen. I find the strongest is the emotion of Gratitude.
This key is something that takes time to perfect. You will have to work at it. Practice it.
How?
Meditation.
Just as in the first Key. Imagine your life with your desire already achieved. How does it make you feel? You must feel it in detail. The stronger the better.

Three: Ask

Who do you ask? What do you Ask?

This is where people split up into groups and begin drawing lines between themselves. People who are over there are deemed evil or selfish or crazy. But, I want you to know that the most important aspect of receiving your desire is not convincing a higher power to give it to you. It’s convincing yourself that you can have it and that it’s available for you at any time.

Ask out loud and make your desire known. Remember this reality is made up of vibration. Use your voice to speak it into existence. Imagine your vibration, your energy (both physical vibration and emotional energy), transmuting everything it touches into what you want.

Some of us might pray to God. Others will ask the source. And then others will look to the universe to provide what they want. Either way, there is nothing standing between you and your desire. Ask for it and know you will receive it. Feel it getting closer to you, draw it in like a sponge, begin to live as if it is already part of your life.

Remember:

You are worthy of your desires. Find out what they are, imagine them in great detail, and ask for them.

As Above, So Below

…and what it means to You

There is an inside and out, an up and down, a yin and yang.

“As above so below” means that the universe is just as you are: magnificent, rich, powerful, vast, and largely unknown until you spend time and effort uncovering the mysteries.

There is a magic to the Universal Laws. A recipe. It’s not complicated by any means. In fact, the emotional ingredients mix together into one concoction once their attributes are understood. It is easy to replicate it once you do it the first time.

Ingredients:

Gratitude/Thanksgiving:
Intention:
Expectation/Faith:

The goal is to mix all these together and cook it in the oven of your Subconscious Mind.

First: Know your desire. Can you see yourself with it, doing it, telling others about it?

I ask this because you have to know what you want inside and out, up and down, because knowing how it feels to have what you want is very important to receiving it and keeping it. If you can imagine yourself already living with your desire and express the emotions associated with receiving it, which is gratitude and thanksgiving, the universe will be forced into manifesting it into your life.

Why? Because “as above, so below.” As you believe, so it is. There is no alternative for the universe except to make what you truly believe a reality. This is the source of all the power within you.

Answer this question about “As Above, So Below” and consider where your life and all you have originates. Do you think below refers to you and above to the universe? Many people believe they are below the universe. But it’s wrong.

As above (as you) believe, so below (the universe) manifest into reality.

The fact that you believe you deserve your desire is vital to how and when you receive it. This is where Intention comes into play. We address our Intention to understand why we want our desires and what we plan do with them. This is only a mental process to affirmation that our desire is good and beneficial.

For some reason, our subconscious mind blocks selfish desires from manifesting into our lives. Not because the universe doesn’t want us to have what we want, but we don’t believe we deserve them.  Much time and energy is spent (wasted) on trying to convince ourselves we can have our desires.

Once you  truly convince yourself that you are worthy of the things you want, then you enter a waiting period of Gestation, which is largely controlled by your Expectation/Faith.

Finding and using techniques to unblock the mental barriers keeping you from your desires is where lives are truly changed forever.

The time spent waiting for your desire is drastically shortened once you can believe that you deserve it because only then can you see yourself having it. You must teach yourself how to be thankful for your desires even before they are fully manifested.

One place to begin is knowing that you can have anything you desire. There’s plenty of it in the world, no one will suffer if you get a new car, more money, or a prettier roof over your head? You are not robbing anyone or depriving them of it because you have it. There is plenty to go around.

The process of blending these ingredients together should bring them all into one action  that makes it easier for you to believe “you deserve and already have your desire.” Two of my favorite methods to use are:

Meditation: If you don’t know how to meditate, look it up.
Drawing a Sigil: If you don’t know what this means, look up how to draw a sigil.

This should be performed in a way to place the belief that you will receive your desire into your subconscious. I know it sounds time consuming, but it isn’t. A few minutes everyday will change our life.

I would try to explain meditation and how to draw a sigil, but others do it so well, I should leave it to them.

You will know when it’s time to stop creating sigils and meditating on a certain desire. I can’t explain it, but you will know.

Good luck. But, you won’t need it.
