The Beliefs And Concepts Of Spirituality Metaphysics

By Mark West


While some people believe strictly in a physical world, others also believe in a spiritual one. When it comes to spirituality metaphysics, it is a term often associated with New Age beliefs. As such, there is no clear definition or explanation of the term.

Most often, New Age practitioners are not a part of any organized religion. For, most individuals practicing in this area maintain a pantheist view of the world. Whereas, the metaphysical aspect often refers to the ultimate reality in which all aspects of the world are connected.

Spiritual, or spiritual realm are more familiar terms often used to refer to anything outside the physical reality. The combination of the metaphysical and non-physical would then suggest that life is a spiritual experience. As a result, most individuals whom subscribe to New Age beliefs live life from a spiritual perspective rather than a physical one.

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.

In seeing oneself and others from this perspective, it becomes more difficult to understand the physical experience it its natural form. Whereas, the life force many refer to as God, a higher power or powers often gets lost in the process. As such, it can then be difficult to grasp an understanding as to the ultimate purpose human kind has on earth.

As science delves deeper into reality and the truth of human existence, it becomes clearer that the physical world is more metaphysical or non-physical at its core. For, the line between the spiritual and physical realities is being erased on an ongoing basis. As a result, it is becoming more clear that the separation of the physical and spiritual self or body, mind and spirit is nothing more than an illusion.

Most New Age practitioners also believe that regardless of a belief in God, all things are interconnected. Once this becomes clear, the concepts of separation begin to appear as nothing more than man-made definitions. Whereas, spirituality and metaphysics have brought human kind closer to understanding these connections.
