1. What is the purpose of metaphysics?
To offer insight and assistance in accelerating the soul’s
spiritual unfoldment.
2. Is metaphysics a religion?
No. Metaphysics is a way of life. It’s a lifestyle that
combines an approach, a philosophy, and a practical way of living.
3. Do I have to give up my religion to follow metaphysics?
No. True metaphysics honors the divine teachings in all
religions and enhances the worship and appreciation of the religion you are
practicing.
4. Do I have to give up my personal lifestyle to follow
metaphysics?
No. Metaphysics teaches that we begin our spiritual ascent
right from where we are. Look first to improve the conditions you are presently
facing, and gradually the spiritual life will enfold you in a natural way.
5. How do I know if the teachings I’m receiving are true and
accurate?
When being introduced to any spiritual teaching, first see if
the teaching resonates with you and appeals to the highest and best in you. If
so, then put those teachings to the test. Do they work in your life? Judge the
tree by the fruit.
6. Do I need a spiritual teacher to walk the path of
light?
We walk our own path to God. No one can do it for us. Yet it
can be of great assistance to find a qualified teacher. There are many
intricacies in reaching the spiritual summit, and to do it completely on our
own is a little like trying to learn medicine without going to medical school.
Even a true teacher must go through training and many rigors before becoming
qualified to teach.
7. If a teacher charges for instruction, is this a true
teacher?
It depends. Some schools of metaphysics do not charge for
their teachings. The reason for this is to steer clear of vested interest or
the feeling that a student can buy their way to enlightenment. However, as the
adage tells us, “The laborer is worthy of his hire.” There needs to be balance
in any type of spiritual exchange. When done correctly, charging for
instruction is an effective way to balance that energy.
8. Why do there appear to be so many paths to God?
All true paths to God are part of the same path, but are
couched in different languages and terminology to accommodate diverse cultures
and peoples.
9. What is expected of me while walking the metaphysical
path to God?
Metaphysics require the sincerest effort and dedication. One
must apply the principles of truth diligently in the day-to-day dealings of
life for those truths to take hold. Metaphysics asks us to puts things in their
spiritual order by putting God first. With knowledge comes responsibility, but
also great rewards.
10. What exactly is spiritual growth?
The maturing and development of the soul’s divine potential.
