This ancient science connects us to things beyond the physical plane. This is the great field of study that connects all the mysteries traditions: from astrology, tarot, numerology, sacred geometry, hermeticism and so many other of the esoteric science are all based on an understanding of a physic that is beyond this material world of existence. Yet the proof of their reality is not in the superstitions of their possibilities, but in the realities of their knowledge and how it has helped to evolve further our human understanding of who we are and what our place in the universe truly is. We can ask the question of metaphysics: What is our destiny and what tools do I need to fulfill that destiny?

But don't forget what TS Eliot said of Metaphysics in his second quartet:The Dry Salvages:
To communicate with Mars, converse with spirits,

To report the behaviour of the sea monster,

Describe the horoscope, haruspicate or scry,

Observe disease in signatures, evoke

Biography from the wrinkles of the palm

And tragedy from fingers; release omens

By sortilege, or tea leaves, riddle the inevitable

With playing cards, fiddle with pentagrams

Or barbituric acids, or dissect

The recurrent image into pre-conscious terrors—


To explore the womb, or tomb, or dreams; all these are usual

Pastimes and drugs, and features of the press:

And always will be, some of them especially

When there is distress of nations and perplexity


Men's curiosity searches past and future

And clings to that dimension.
But to apprehend

The point of intersection of the timeless

With time, is an occupation for the saint—

No occupation either, but something given

And taken, in a lifetime's death in love,

Ardour and selflessness and self-surrender.

For most of us, there is only the unattended

Moment, the moment in and out of time,

The distraction fit, lost in a shaft of sunlight,

The wild thyme unseen, or the winter lightning

Or the waterfall, or music heard so deeply

That it is not heard at all, but you are the music

While the music lasts.
These are only hints and guesses,

Hints followed by guesses; and the rest

Is prayer, observance, discipline, thought and action.


The hint half guessed, the gift half understood, is Incarnation.

Here the impossible union

Of spheres of existence is actual,

Here the past and future

Are conquered, and reconciled,

Where action were otherwise movement

Of that which is only moved

And has in it no source of movement—

Driven by daemonic, chthonic
Powers.
And right action is freedom

From past and future also.

For most of us, this is the aim

Never here to be realised;

Who are only undefeated

Because we have gone on trying;

We, content at the last

If our temporal reversion nourish

(Not too far from the yew-tree)

The life of significant soil.
