I don't understand the question properley? What about metaphysics are you asking?
It's fun to talk about. Some people get really loopy over it.





Its like political poo .
"Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream and we are the imagination of ourselves."- Bill Hicks



I'm sure I've posted the following in some other thread here, and no doubt on another mb somewhere.Originally Posted by N.M._Nikki
By way of example, our first representations of stored sound were on wax cylinders, so the vibration recorded was at the actual frequency of the sounds themselves.
Then we had reel-to-reel tape, cassette tape, etc., where the representation of sound is recorded at a higher frequency level - this time in the electromagnetic spectrum.
Now, we record sound using laser light - yet higher in the spectrum, and they can either be recorded on CD or DVD, which requires the use of light to decode, or an mp3 player, which requires only electrons for the representation of a song or lecture, but we still need a transducer (i.e., headphones) to listen to the stored representation.
So if our representations are supposed to advance to higher frequencies, maybe we are too (to place a loopy definition on this, as Deogol has already posted).
I had an interesting minor experience with this - went to a Learning Annex class taught by an Indian Yogi. A class where you could supposdedly learn to manifest your desires into reality. About six weeks later, I was going to LV for a couple days vacation. So I thought "Great - I can use a test that will never be passed." The "test" I chose was winning on a Megabucks slot machine with only one pull. I didn't win the big prize but from that one pull of the Megabucks machine - I ended up cashing out $90 worth of tokens, So, can't really say I won, but neither can it be said, "didn't win." Coincidence, I suppose, but really can't say.
Anyway, getting back to the increasing frequencies of some of our abstract representations, maybe Christ was a physicist instead of a mystic(or maybe both) - and we ended up with the Bible when the physics book he really wanted us to have was possibly banned and burned back in his time.![]()
Metaphysics are Humans trying to explain things that don't have any other way of being explained yet.
But, who's to say that your mind can't affect the universe?
I'm here just for the food.
Philosophy drives me up the wall. I seriously go crazy!
If you think school is hard, try being stupid.
Ha! I'm a philosopher at heart.
Just remember, if you don't use your mind, someone else will.

"Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream."
About all the metaphysics you really *need*, imo.

As the Truth eternally reveals itself,
This very place is the Lotus Land of Purity,
This very body is the Body of the Buddha."

Actually, I'm finding the following a little more interesting right now, having posted about a book on the topic not all that long agoOriginally Posted by N.M._Nikki

or just the metaphysics section of this site by itself

As Deogol mentioned, metaphysics is a good way to...even fictional ones!





"He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldrini, the traveler came as a large and moving Torg! Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor! Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!"



Contrary to popular belief... understanding physics can come in handy in real life like when my GF's boob smacks into my face. LMAO Seriously, I think it's deep to consider things like not aging because you are traveling at light speed or time stopping on the edge of a black hole etc.
Heh.. I love that!Originally Posted by BlindGroping
