Spirituality Metaphysics Concepts And Practices

By Mark West


While some individuals believe in only a physical world, others believe in two worlds. One which is based in the physical presence and another, which lies outside the physical realm. Most often, those whom believe in a spiritual world refer to this place as heaven, or in some cases, the other side. While spirituality metaphysics proposes a view of the combination of these two worlds as one, there is no clear definition of the term.

In most cases, these beliefs and views are connected to New Age beliefs and practices. While most often, practitioners in this area do not subscribe to any organized religion, most hold a pantheist view of the world. In pantheist theology, it is believed that God is in, and of, all living things, including humans.

The more familiar term spiritual is often used to refer to the non-physical aspects of the human condition. As a result, the combination of spirituality and metaphysics suggest that life is in fact a metaphysical rather than a physical experience. As a result, those involved in these practices tend to live life as spiritual beings rather than physical ones.

In most cases, individuals involved in New Age practices adhere to the belief that all reality is uniform and that all people are part of the same ultimate truth. A viewpoint from which the All Is One, and One Is All, mindset was born. While philosophical and theological ideologies can be tangled up in these concepts of physical and metaphysical realism and spirituality, the terms still maintain objective boundaries and separate definitions.

When it comes to the metaphysical aspects of the Universe, these concepts can often be difficult to comprehend. It often becomes easier when individuals begin to understand that spiritual metaphysics is the study of human existence outside the physical realm. Whereas, in understanding that the spiritual realm is one in which physical capabilities, senses, research, technology or the physical body does not exist also helps in understanding the difference between these two planes of existence.

Longtime spiritual beliefs and ancient religious practices have attempted though failed to explain the human experience. For, almost all organized religions have arisen based on the belief that the physical and spiritual aspects of the body are separate and apart from one another. As a result, most individuals now recognize these as separate entities within oneself while also seeing oneself as being separate and apart from God, and other human beings in the physical universe.

When looking at life from this perspective, it is easy to become disconnected from God, and spirit. For, the life force many see as God, often gets lost. At which time, it can often become more difficult to understand the purpose of human kind here on earth.

Scientists and researchers are delving deeper into the meaning of the Universe and the existence of human kind. As time goes on, it becomes clearer that the spiritual or metaphysical world is at the core. For, the line between the physical and spiritual world becomes thinner on an ongoing basis.

As all things are connected in one way or another, these concepts of separation are clearly man-made definitions people have used to describe different aspects of the human mind. Whereas, metaphysics and spirituality have brought human kind closer to understanding how all things are connected. As a result, individuals are now learning that while there may be differences between body, mind and spirit, all are connected, and not only to oneself but the world at large.
