Metaphysics is the philosophy that helps us understand the fundamental nature of all reality, the reality that transcends the material nature. The subject of the relationship between mind, body and spirit has forever been difficult to understand since they defy explanation in the context of materialistic science approach.  But, discoveries in quantum physics about the true nature of reality shed new insights into these topics.  These discoveries allow subjects such as metaphysics to be viewed in a new light, bringing science and spirit together.

There are philosophic ideas, which dispute the existence of mind, body and spirit as separate states.  Eastern philosophies talk about the wholeness of reality, or that everything is one.  But there is the more common notion that the nature of reality is in two separate states, one physical and one spiritual.  Quantum physics shows that the apparent materiality of the world is not real and that consciousness is vital to understanding the true nature of reality.  True understanding, if that were at hand, will show that reality is stranger than fiction!  Our thinking, our imagination is limited by our ability to perceive, essentially limitations imposed by our sensory perceptive powers.  So, our perception of reality only fits in within that envelope.  But, metaphysics deals with what is beyond the physical, the material nature.  Metaphysics is the law of the mind.  

While the subject of metaphysics is a complex one, the concept can be understood if we look at it as the subject of extra-material perception.  That is to say, trying to understand what is beyond our sensory perceptive powers.  That is essential to understanding the body, mind, spirit and to focus on the unity of the universe.
