Metaphisics and Mysticism- What is it?Metaphysics literally means beyond physics. It refers to any non-physical thing, or rather, it refers to any part of reality that is not entirely or necessarily physical. A Metaphysics is a schematic organization of ideas offered to explain or clarify some aspect of what reality is or how reality works. A Metaphysics is not necessarily spiritually oriented.

Das Kapital by Karl Marx,
The Lessons of History by Will and Ariel Durant,
Lila by Robert Pirsig,
The Story of B by Daniel Quinn
The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield

All of these may be understood, more or less, as examples of Metaphysics.

Mysticism is the universal path of the Mystic, or one who seeks the direct experience of ultimate reality. Mysticism sets aside desire and fear (the ego itself) in order to experience, directly, an unbiased perception of reality as a single, unified whole, as a self-evident, meta-existent divinity whose expression is existence itself, consciousness itself, and love itself. The mystic seeks union with the divinity by realizing his (her) own existence, consciousness and love is identical with that of the divinity.

Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, Krishna, Rumi, Bodhidharma, Isaiah, Lao Tsu and many, many others were all mystics. And, regardless of whether you know it or not, you are too.

Peace and Love
