"I could write books about this especially about self-appoint scientists using the terms "metaphysics" or "pseudo science" as a dismissive - an invalidating label that gives them an excuse to ignore something they do not understand or are unwilling to invest time and effort to understand. Keely did decades of hard science. Same for Schauberger. Russell did hard science with various engineering firms as well as with IBM. But the arrogant know-it-all scientists would not know this because they have already dismissed these geniuses by labeling their work as metaphysics and/or pseudoscience and therefore beneath them. Sounds like the Church refusing to look through Galileo’s telescope." [Dale Pond, 8/25/24]
Schauberger
This 'higher' practically implementable metaphysics has nothing in common with today's science. We are therefore here concerned with real 'knowledge' and in no way with the commonly held concept of 'science'. [The Energy Evolution - Harnessing Free Energy from Nature, The Life-Current in Air and Water]
Fenwicke Holmes
"Metaphysics teaches us how we may govern our bodies, our world and our happiness, by the thoughts we think, for it declares that man reproduces the creative method and that what is true in the macrocosm or universe is true in the microcosm or individual - that thoughts become things..." [Fenwicke Holmes, "The Law of Mind in Action"]
Manly Palmer Hall
"The term Metaphysics is derived from two Greek words meaning "after physics," or "beyond those things which pertain to external nature." The generally accepted definitions of the term are derived from Aristotle, the first author to prepare a lengthy treatise under this name. Aristotle uses the term METAPHYSICS at one time as synonymous with wisdom and at another time as synonymous with theology. He also calls it the "first philosophy."?
Broadly speaking, existence is divisible into two primary states, which Albertus Magnus termed physical and transphysical." The study of the visible universe is called PHYSICS and the study of the invisible universe is called METAPHYSICS.
To philosophers all visible effects are suspended from, or supported by, invisible causes and Metaphysics is therefore that branch of learning which seeks to discover and understand the unseen Causes at work behind visible nature.
Metaphysics then includes the following departments of learning:
1—The nature of Being.
2—The nature of God.
3—The nature of Knowledge.
4—The nature of Truth.
5—The nature of Energy.
6—The nature of Creation.
7—The nature of divine and human relationships.
The purpose of Metaphysics is to lead the mind from the consideration of forms and bodies to an understanding of the principles which animate these forms and bodies. The intellect which has discovered the divine essence in all things has the metaphysical veiwpoint.
In order that you may have a working knowledge of philosophical fundamentals it is first necessary to lay a metaphysical foundation, that is a foundation in superphysical principles. Visible nature is but a small part of existence.
Although we are limited to visible nature in our present state, we can never live intelligently or think accurately until we have some understanding of that larger world which extends beyond the physical shell of our environment.
According to Metaphysics, BEING is an eternal unchanging Principle and is denominated the First Cause. Pythagoras defines God as an immeasurable and inconceivable Being whose soul is composed of the substance of truth and whose body is composed of the substance of light." [Manly Palmer Hall, June, 1934 (Main - Metaphysics; Supplement - The Beginning of Greek Philosophy, Part One)]
