Metaphysical Realms

The Metaphysical Realms are those dimensions which surround us and in some ways live along side us. It was Einstein that theorised that time travel was possible and this has led to people everywhere struggling with our current reality.

The question of "Where would I be now if I'd only turned left instead of right?" has bothered numerous people over the years. Metaphysical Realms as a lens and as a Group Headquarters here at Squidoo is attempting to bring 'enlightenment' to readers by encouraging positive interaction.

As the lensmaster, I look forward to reading and joining in the comments left on the duelling platform on this page.

There is a surging interest in these differing plains of existence. There is information out there if you want to go looking for it. However, I have attempted to collate some of that information here on this lens for you.

However, one explanation that may help follows:

The Ancient and Baladi Egyptians made/make no distinction between a metaphysical state of being and one with a material body. Such a distinction is a mental illusion. We exist on a number of different levels at once, from the most physical to the most metaphysical. Einstein agreed with the same principles.

Since Einstein's relativity theory, it has been known and accepted that matter is a form of energy-a coagulation or condensation of energy. Energy is made up of molecules rotating or vibrating at various rates of speed. In the "physical" world, molecules rotate at a very slow and constant rate of speed. That is why things appear to be solid, for our earthly senses. The slower the speed, the more dense or solid the thing. In the metaphysical (spirit) world, the molecules vibrate at a much faster, or ethereal dimension-where things are freer and less dense.

In this light, the universe is basically a hierarchy of energies, at different orders of density. Our senses have some access to the densest form of energy, which is matter. The hierarchy of energies is interrelated, and each level is sustained by the level below it. This hierarchy of energies is set neatly into a vast matrix of deeply interfaced natural laws. It is both physical and metaphysical.

This matrix of energies came as a result of the initial act of creation and the subsequent effects of the Big Bang that created the universe. This matrix of energies was identified with the neteru (gods/goddesses) in Ancient Egypt.

The presence of energy in everything was long recognized by the Ancient and Baladi Egyptians.

Metaphysics is likely to involve a transition from the material to the non-material world in most explanations. This means, new skills, new tools and new forms of observing phenomena that are outside our normal "see-feel-touch-hear-smell" world of measurements need to be developed. How do we do this?

Our strongly held beliefs about the nature or reality often prevent our exploration of domains of existence beyond the realm of our body/mind. Our beliefs are realised as representations of our perception of physical reality - sometimes this is valid and sometimes it is not. When considered from a metaphysical view, we must realise that our perception is but one single interpretation of how physical reality is manifested. It is quite possible that it is not the only way. Does this then mean that our interpretation of reality reflects the "truth" about nature or is are we inhabiting what is merely a joint "illusions" of physical reality.

Take the example of time. It is a manifestation of reality that is created by the occurrence of linear events, ie: sunrise to sunset to sunrise again. Because these events are connected and follow one another time is said to exist in a physical reality. However, from a metaphysical standpoint and depending on your point of focus, events can occur in a multi-dimensional state, sunrise to sunset then becomes a single event. This leads to the conclusion that time does not exist.

To illustrate this, a person will consider time in terms of minutes, hours, day, years, and even generations. However, a tree, were its conscious thoughts be able to be understood, thinks of time in terms of decades, centuries even millennia. The human concept of time is meaningless within the context of a tree's consciousness. This means that the metaphysical domains follow a different channel of reality to our own.

We can access these metaphysical domains by activating a channel of communication. This channel is created when a person experiences a breakthrough sudden realisation occurring around their strongly-held belief about the nature of reality. Many of history's gurus are said to have undertaken ascetic practices to cause such an epiphany. There are many examples such experiences that are have been reported create a channel to the metaphysical realms.

These channels allow for phenomena such as insight, intuition, creativity, imagination, spirit-vision, holistic seeing and quantum-thinking. Human mastery of metaphysical realms depends on the path one takes to reach 'enlightenment'. Einstein is said to have ridden a ray of light around the sun in his imagination, however he would not have been able to formulate the Theory of Relativity without his education in the areas of science, mathematics and physics. Whether Da Vinci experienced similar things is unknown, however we are aware of his training and mastery of art, architecture, science and mathematics.

I hope that this is sufficient to promote discussion in my duelling section below.
