WHAT IS METAPHYSICS?

Definition
Metaphysics is the systematic study or science of the first principles of being and of knowledge, the reasoned doctrine of the essential nature and fundamental relations of all that is real. It was first applied to Aristotle's writings by Andronicus of Rhodes, the editor of Aristotle’s works. Aristotle wrote of the essence of being and the categories of cause and effect, along with concepts of the existence of a Supreme Power, Higher Intelligence, or God.

As we understand the word and use it in our educational work, Metaphysical means "that which is beyond the material or physical" and which deals with the laws of being, the Universal Laws, and their practical application to life and affairs.

History shows that mankind has made advancement along material lines exactly in proportion as he has made mental progress. In essence, no individual is larger than the action of his or her mind. Mind action, including both thoughts and emotions, has everything to do with a person's health, finances, environment, circumstances, and affairs.

Metaphysical Law
Our existence on this earth plane is not so much dependent upon material things as it is dependent upon metaphysical laws. Progress and inventions are the result of thought. Some claim that progress is the outgrowth of the soul, but soul and mind are intertwined; therefore, creative thought must precede the transition of ecstatic feelings or emotionsinto art, writing, business, research, and other creations.

The same Universal Mind that inspires one person to write beautiful poems can lead another person to outstanding success in business, finance, science, or education. All wisdom and power reside in Universal Mind, and through our inner consciousness, we each take from the Universe that with which our mind correlates; that is, we take from Universal Mind that which is most like what we think and feel. When we change what we think and feel, what we draw from Universal Mind changes also.

In other words, we tune in on our own wave length. That which comes to us out of the Universal Source comes because we have attracted it with our thoughts and feelings.

Out of this deeper phase of mind comes all inspiration, whether it leads to writing a powerful book, painting an exquisite picture, launching a great invention, success in the business world, or victory in a right and just cause. Man's marvelous and remarkable achievements result from the outpouring of thought from the inexhaustible fountainhead of Universal Mind.

Our School's Mission
The purpose of the Divine Metaphysics Mastery (and the College of Divine Metaphysics) is to assist students in the development of their higher consciousness. In our lessons, we attempt to help people attain a place where, degree by degree, they may understand the spiritual or metaphysical law for themselves in their own way, commensurate with their plane of soul understanding.

Our school is concerned with causes rather than effects, demonstrations rather than theories, the practical rather than the abstract. The laws and principles we teach avoid theory, speculation and abstractions; we confine our teaching to the operation of natural (universal) laws. Our teaching is a plain, simple statement of the mighty law that underlies and correlates all life. We endeavor to teach students how to compel the effects (or circumstances) they experience in life by controlling the causes. Our school offers the "open sesame" by which one may enter all the doors of success by controlling the thoughts and emotions that cause (or generate) personal success.

Our teachings are free from empty theories, dogma, and impractical ideas. Definite instructions, suggestions, hints and exercises are provided, which, if followed, will foster within the student a consciousness of the Truth. In turn, this realization will manifest as harmony and prosperity in the student's life and affairs.

These courses are comprehensive and yet easy to master. The knowledge gained in this study is not only valuable to the individual, but also prepares students for greater service to humanity. The success of our school depends upon the development and efficiency of its studentbody. We strive to help students help themselves. True self-help not only benefits the individual, but benefits all with whom he or she comes in contact.

Creative Power
Creative power is the ability to bring into manifestation things not previously manifested in the material world. It is not only the greatest power, it is reserve power, the kind of power that can be brought into use when other power has failed; it's the kind of power needed when everything seems to be going to pieces.

People who learn how to create positive conditions for themselves will inevitably broaden their view of what is possible in their lives. Those who study Divine Metaphysics gain a glimpse of the bigger picture, of a larger possible life, along with an aroused ambition to reach for it. Those who go through our studies feel a new courage, a new impulse, a new determination to do something infinitely greater than formerly realized.

Universal Principles
Students who conscientiously complete these studies will undoubtedly experience a spiritual rejuvenation. Those who have studied religion, psychology, science, chemistry, biology, law, finances, writing - anyone who has problems for which they have not found a solution - should find our lessons to be of great value.

Whatever situation finds a place in the human experience is the result of the operation of natural laws, and the determining factors are within each person’s control. This may seem "too good to be true," but consider recent scientific inventions that have placed almost infinite resources at the disposal of man; it is obvious that there must be yet other laws, ones not generally known, that contain even greater possibilities. Most people want to be happy; they want to realize their hopes and see their dreams come true. They can when they realize the true power of cause and effect rests within themselves.

Life is governed by law, by actual changeless principles that never vary. Universal Laws are in operation at all times, in all places, in all experiences. Therefore, an understanding of these laws is of paramount importance. There is no problem in life that cannot be solved by the application of these natural laws. We believe the most important field of study is that of Metaphysics, which describes the immutable universal laws and their application to life's problems.
