Metaphysics

The following is taken from The College of Metaphysical Studies FAQ, and provides an interesting jumping off place for talking about and thinking about things metaphysical. I hope you enjoy it.

Why is positive thinking important to a metaphysical belief system?

Positive thinking is important because metaphysics teaches that the mind controls our reality. It you think it, it is so, We encourage ourselves to believe in the best so that we can manifest this in our lives, We know that apparent good does not always happen and we also know that this is so because our interpretation of good is not always the same as that of the Universe.

God knows what is best for our Highest Good, and it is the Highest Good of the body, mind and spirit that we are trying to achieve. What pleases us one minute may not always please us the next God, the Eternal, knows what is always the Ultimate Best. When we pray we say "Thy will be done". Since we create our own world, our attitude toward our world is all that we can completely control, and is the key in creating the best world for our Soul.

In what kind of God do metaphysicians believe?

To the Metaphysician -- God is the creative, active force in the Universe from which all scientific, natural and spiritual laws are derived, This beneficent force is creating a friendly Universe today, as it was in the beginning. The more we go into quiet meditation and seek this link with Good the more we know and the greater our awareness becomes.

A wonderful and unseen force is alive and active through us. Life is a precious gift from the creative intelligence of God. We express this force best through Love, Understanding, Wisdom and Truth. Each creative thinker knows there is a Source somewhere within. Each child knows that he/she, alone, is not enough! We are not alone. God, referred to in various religions by different names, is the same God - The Creator of us all.
