WHAT IS METAPHYSICS?
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!

WHAT IS METAPHYSICAL COSMOLOGY?
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

DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE?
At the entrance of most ancient esoteric mystery schools
Are these inscriptions – Man Know Thyself
The question here is - Do you know who you are?
Have you ever asked yourself – Who am I?
We all know that you are a two-legged creature
Creatures looking like you are called human beings
Do you know who you really are?
Everybody around probably knows your full name
You too know all your given names and nicknames
We all know that human beings are more than names
Do you know who you really are?
Do you know your own likes and dislikes?
Do you know what you like doing in your spare-time?
Apart from your profession, what else do you do?
Do you know your strengths and abilities?
Do you know your weaknesses and faults?
Do you know your potentials as a human being?
Do you know you were born with some natural talents?
Everybody knows their own sign of the zodiac
The question here is – are human limitations
decided and controlled by their sign of the zodiac?
All things been equal, there are good and bad people
in every zodiac sign, while there are rich and poor
people also in every astrological sign
To attribute your weaknesses and failures to astrology
is a sure evidence of fallacy and self-delusion
Do you know who you really are?
Look at yourself in the mirror
Let today be the start of your self-analysis
Your journey to self-discovery has began

ARE WE PUPPETS BEEN MANIPULATED BY THE STARS?
This is an age-old question that has not been truly answered by sages
The sages include mystics, astrologers, spiritualists, metaphysicians
Soothsayers, clairvoyants, fortune-tellers, seers, and psychics
To rephrase the above question in simplistic terms –
Is everything human beings do on earth predestined by the stars?
Human beings are known to possess enormous powers
Powers to think, reason, decide, invent, create, and make choices
How can we be turned into puppets been manipulated by the stars?
Many sages say some events in the life of humans are predestined
And that not all things in human existence are preordained
The power of human beings to make choices in their own lives
Has lead several to fortune and some to misfortune
If you play the lottery and become an overnight millionaire
You will surely thank all the stars in the sky
If your marriage end up in divorce after few months or years
Will you blame that on all the stars in the sky?
Or blame yourself for your poor choice and short-sightedness
Are we puppets been manipulated by the stars?
How about a drunk driver who died in motor accident?
Was that driver manipulated by the stars?
How about a swimmer who drowned without a life-jacket?
Was the swimmer manipulated by the stars?
Are we puppets been manipulated by the stars?
If you eat the wrong type of food and die of heart-disease!
Shall we blame the stars in the sky for your untimely death?
What of a student who failed an exam because of poor preparation?
Shall we conclude that the student was manipulated by the stars?
Are we puppets been manipulated by the stars?
With all the enormous powers of human beings to think,
Reason, decide, invent, produce, create and make decisions
Hopefully, we shall all become the architects of our own fortunes
Please enjoy your life, good luck and happy destiny

IS THE FAULT IN US OR IN THE STARS? [1]
Are you very happy with your life right now?
Or wish you could be happier if you were
born under a different sign of the zodiac!

Born a Capricorn like – Chairman Mao or Mohammad Ali
You also wish, you could have been a world-class celebrity
If you were born a Leo like – Fidel Castro of
Is the fault in us or in the stars?
Truly, your date of birth determines your sign of the zodiac
Do the zodiac signs influence our destiny on earth?
Do the stars above control our happiness on this planet?
Is success on earth dependent on our date of birth?
Now you ask, is the fault in us or in the stars?
Who are you going to thank for your happiness on this earth?
Who are you going to blame for your failures on this planet?
Is it the configuration of the stars on the day you were born?
Such as, Jupiter in Libra, Venus in Leo or Neptune in Aries?
Are you going to thank or blame your birth date, the society,
your parents, yourself, or your partner – if you are married?
Some ask – Is greatness conferred by the stars or place of birth?
In the case of Prince Charles of
It makes no difference whether he was born a Scorpio, Libra, Aries,
Gemini, Virgo, Pisces or Leo. He was born to be a king
Is the fault in us or in the stars?
From the dawn of civilization, many have pondered -
What do the stars above have to do with human life on earth?
Why are people different because of their signs of the zodiac?
Metaphysical research revealed that every sign of the zodiac
Has produced many successful and famous people
To be concluded in Part [2]

Are you going to blame the sun and the moon?
Are you going to blame all the stars in the sky?
Are you going to blame your sign of the zodiac?
Are you going to blame your parents?
Are you going to blame your partner – if you are married?
Look at yourself again in the mirror and ask –
Is the fault in us or in the stars?
Metaphysicians believe that the stars truly influence
Human destiny on earth, but do not dictate or compel
Do not allow your zodiac sign or the stars above to
Determine the limitation of your achievements on this earth
Always aim for the gold and live your dreams
Good luck to you and happy destiny
