METAPHYSICS

Metaphysics is the study of supernatural and spiritual forces being explained by slightly scientific reasons and the study of compassion, peace, fraternity, and truth.

THE BEGINNING Metaphysics began with wise men way back when neanderthals inhabited the Earth. Tribes had medicine men who watched the skies and saw 'signs.' Certain people were wiser than others, and knew the wisdom that God [or whoever they believed in] had granted them. One of these people was Ramtha. Ramtha was a man who lived a very long time ago when Pangea existed. Ramtha was very wise and was equivalent to the buddha. He still speaks today when he channels through a woman. She works at the Ramtha School of Enlightenment.

GOD AND METAPHYSICS God became involved with metaphysics long before Christianity came into being, or reached the parts of the world that didn't have Christianity. The Mayas believed in kharma and supernatural forces. So did the Egyptians and the Greeks as well as the early Chinese. When Jesus was born, he first introduced God, meditation, and some metaphysical phrases and explanations. Jesus would meditate for hours on end! Today, Jesus is considered a master healer. Metaphysic practioners call on him to help with their healing sessions.

THE BUDDHA The most major metaphysical contributor was the Buddha. He was born as Prince Siddhartha in a bustling Indian kingdom. His father the king hid old age, suffering, and death from his son in order not to frighten him, but Prince Siddhartha left the palace anyway to seek out a way to overule suffering. He discovered the middle way, and while meditating under a tree he became enlightened. Prince Siddhartha now understood everything in the universe. When he came out from under that tree, he was the Buddha, 'enlightened one.'

THE BUDDHA'S TEACHINGS The Buddha taught metaphysics and his 'Middle Way.' He also taught meditation and was like Jesus to his followers. He taught that suffering could only be overcome when you let go. In Tibetan monasteries today, the monks there still honor him, meditate, practice his teachings and teach them to others, and recite his mantras.

WITCH HUNTS However, by the 1600's and the 1700's, humans had become less tolerant of metaphysical practioners. Calling them witches, the mistaken people would burn them at stake and hang them for their beliefs. They thought that they were the cause of disease and death. They also thought that only witches floated in water. The truth is that these innocent people WERE NOT WITCHES. They were practioners of metaphysics and wicca. Wiccans have their own special code and way of life. However, the people of that era thought they were evil and must be hunted down, but actually the hunters were the evil ones, not the hunted. They were condemning the innocent to death.

THE SPIRITUAL RENNAISSANCE In the late 20th century, there began an era called the spiritual rennaissance. This rennaissance reintroduced metaphysical beliefs and awoke the world from the shock and scare of the Witch Hunts. Metaphysical practioners flourished again, basking in the truth that is people were experiencing spiritual awakenings everywhere. This rennaissance is still going on today.
