What is Metaphysics?

Traditionally, the word Metaphysics comes to us from Ancient Greece, where it was a combination of two words – Meta, meaning over and beyond – and physics. Thus, the combination means over and beyond physics. In the definition found in most dictionaries, metaphysics is referred to as a branch of philosophy, taught as such in most academic universities under the label of “Speculative Philosophy.”
In today’s world, however, the word metaphysics has become a description of many fields of interest. When one expresses an interest in metaphysics, you might see any of the following: Philosophy, Comparative Religion, Historical Religion, Parapsychology, Mysticism, Yoga, ESP, Dreams, Jungian Psychology, Transpersonal and Theocentric Psychology, Astrology, Life After Death, Life Between Lives, Transcendentalism, Reincarnation, Consciousness Studies, Expanded Realities, or Spiritualism. Many of these things are topics we are interested in at RootDown and have decades of experience and formal education in.

In a nutshell, metaphysics is the intersection of physics, spirituality, and psychology.
