Metaphysics is a branch of the Philosophical Sciences
Metaphysics is the study of ontology, epistemology and cosmology
How do you define metaphysics to the average individual?
In simplistic terms, metaphysics is the study of the nature of human
Existence on earth and how we humans are related to the universe
When human beings are born into this world
Metaphysics is interested in when and where we were born!
What is the astrological configuration in the sky when we were born?
What sign of the zodiac do we belong to?
What type of people shall we be compatible with as we grow up?
Being born at a certain time of the year, endows us with certain powers
Will that person be able to access all their natural powers in a life-time?
Shall that person be happy and successful in life?
Will that person be rich and famous?
Shall that person be a leader or a follower?
Metaphysics look into all aspects and facets of human life
Does the type of food we eat everyday affect our life?
By eating certain foods, can human beings live to a hundred years?
Surely, we know the type of liquids we consume daily affect our life
Drunks and alcoholics can tell you more about that
Metaphysics is also interested in our marital life
If human beings are able to discover their soul mates
Shall they live together until deaths do them apart?
If they cannot find their soul mates
How long will they live together before they divorce?
All circumstances considered, human beings possess many powers
We have the power to reason, think, decide and make choices
Many say – as you lay your bed so you shall sleep
Some wonder – if we are all puppets been manipulated by the stars!
Metaphysics ask – is the fault in us or in the stars?
The investigative research continues!

How do you explain metaphysical cosmology to the folks on the street?
In its most simplistic and elementary definition, metaphysical cosmology
is the study of how human beings are related to the universe
Many ask – how can a human being living on earth be related to the universe
If the stars in the sky differentiate between a person born in the
first week of January from a fellow born in the last week of January
Then, human beings are connected and related to the universe
If you were born in the first week of January – you are a Capricorn
And your elemental affinity is the earth
If you were born in the last week of January – you are an Aquarius
And your elemental affinity is the air
Two different people who happen to be born in the month of January
How can a human being living on earth be related to the universe?
If the stars in the sky distinguish between a fellow born in the
first week of October from a person born in the last week of October
Then, human beings are connected and related to the universe
Those born in the first week of October are known as Libra
And their elemental affinity is the air
If you were born in the last week of October you are a Scorpio
And your elemental affinity is the water
Another two dissimilar people who happen to be born in October
All human beings are connected and related to the universe
Inevitably, we are all parts and parcels of the universe
Some ask – since we cannot disconnect or sever our relationship
with the universe, how can we take advantage of our affiliation?
In realistic terms, in order to maximize and capitalize on this
relationship, we must walk in harmony with the universal laws
If we all walk in harmony with the universal laws
Our rewards shall be plentiful, abundant and overflowing
Please enjoy your life and remember to stay happy

Have you ever met any human being
who does not know their sign of the zodiac?
We all pretend not to believe in astrology
Yet, we all know our astrological signs
What is your sign? We ask each other
Whenever many of us buy newspapers
the first thing we read is the horoscope section
Do the zodiac signs influence our destiny?
Are we puppets been manipulated by the stars?
Do the stars above determine our happiness?
Do our birthdates decide our fate on earth?
Then, how come twins born on the same day
Have different destinies and lifestyles?
Do you credit your success to your birthdate?
Or blame your failure on your astrological sign?
People born under the same zodiac sign
Are said to possess similar characteristics
It is also said that our zodiac sign determines
our compatibility with other fellows
Whether this is true or not, in most cases
we still decide who is or will be our wife, partner
husband, spouse, soul-mate or companion
If we end up making an erroneous decision
and our relationship end up in a divorce court
Shall we blame astrological incompatibility?
Or blame our shortsightedness and all the stars above
Many believe that astrology can compute probabilities
Therefore, nothing is carved in stone or infallible
All things been equal, it is worth looking into
Enjoy your life, good luck and happy destiny
