What is Metaphysics?

Let’s Take a Closer Look! 👀

I am in the process of rebranding, and I’ve been thinking a great deal about what I really want Healing Light to be, as well as what it currently is, and that’s a blog about all sorts of things including tarot, crystals, astrology, magic, ritual, etc. In my branding process, I’ve wrapped it up with Metaphysical blog, gift shoppe and divination. **You have just been given a preview to an upcoming announcement, whenever I finish this process 🙂 which will be sometime after Mercury Retrograde. ** Of course, before I go around changing things, I thought I would do some research to be sure that I was using appropriate vocabulary and that required a little research – my inspiration for today’s post. After all, curious minds want to know – and if you’re reading blogs like this you likely have a curious mind.

Metaphysics is a branch of philosophy that explores the fundamental nature of reality, existence, and the cosmos. It explores questions that lie beyond the physical world, seeking to understand the underlying principles that govern our universe.

Key Areas of Metaphysics:

  1. Ontology: This area focuses on the nature of being and existence. It explores questions like:
    • What is the fundamental nature of reality?
    • Are there abstract entities like numbers and properties?
    • What is the relationship between mind and matter?
  2. Cosmology: Cosmology investigates the nature of the universe as a whole. It asks questions such as:
    • What is the origin of the universe?
    • Will the universe end?
    • Is there a purpose or meaning to the universe?
  3. Teleology: Teleology explores the nature of purpose and final causes. It investigates whether there is a goal or direction to the universe, and whether things have inherent purposes.
  4. Epistemology: While not strictly metaphysical, epistemology is closely related. It deals with the nature of knowledge and belief. Questions in epistemology include:
    • How do we know what we know?
    • Is it possible to have certain knowledge?
    • What is the relationship between mind and reality?

Metaphysical Concepts:

  • Substance: A fundamental entity or underlying reality.
  • Causality: The relationship between cause and effect.
  • Space and Time: The nature of space and time, and their relationship to reality.
  • Free Will: The ability of individuals to make choices that are not predetermined.
  • Immortality: The possibility of continued existence after death.

Why Metaphysics Matters:

Metaphysics is not just an abstract philosophical pursuit. It has profound implications for our understanding of the world, our place in it, and the meaning of life. By exploring metaphysical questions, we can gain a deeper appreciation for the mysteries of existence and the complexity of human experience.
