Metaphysics are Metaphors

A Thank you from Stephen Cocconi

Comprehending the so-called ‘depths of the Universe’ (or Multiverse for that matter), can only be conveyed to the mind via language and the narratives they form.  Even attempting to convey a visual image or a visceral sensation requires, for most, an experiential comparison that when conveyed becomes metaphor, simile, or analogy. All act as bridges to connect the familiars of objective phenomena with the etheric.

Metaphysics is “the behind, invisible to, under or over, structural qualities” that influence the form of the physical world. Or more specifically, that which we subjectively name and experience through our senses, but also our collective constructs, like: Ego, or God, or Heaven and Hell, or Transcendence, etc. Thus, as you might gather from my definition, all religions and most philosophical treatises are “metaphysical” since they define and outline the hidden structures which organize reality into the forms, processes, and ways we perceive it.  So, esoteric or mystery schools are not the first to enter into the realm of offering both labels and schematics for the nature of existence or human nature.

Featured herein, I use as the majority foundation for my narratives, terms derived from The Michael Teachings (TMT). Yet, as some will notice, a number of the terms named herein are not solely from nor originated with the TMT. What I seek to make obvious and evident, as I and other writers who seek greater understanding of our humanness, is that what I write and how I formulate my arguments are not TRUTH! They are my opinion of the truth as I have come to understand it so far. My greatest hope is for all who take time to reckon with the questions I pose, the ideas I discuss, and my conclusions arrived at so far (in my life), are in continuous motion and exploration. I hope you can find your own fruitful exploration in what I present.
