Definition
Metaphysics is the systematic
study or science of the first principles of being and
of knowledge, the reasoned doctrine of the essential
nature and fundamental relations of all that is real.
It was first applied to Aristotle's writings by Andronicus of Rhodes, the editor
of Aristotle’s works.
Aristotle wrote of the essence of being and the categories
of cause and of the existence of God.
As we understand the word and
use it in our educational work, Metaphysical means "that
which is beyond the material or physical" and deals
with the study of the laws of being, the Universal Laws, and their practical
application to life and affairs.
 History shows that mankind has
made advancement along material lines exactly in proportion
as he has made mental progress. No one is larger in
any way than the action of his or her mind. Mind action has
everything to do with a person's health, finances, environment,
and affairs.
Metaphysical Law
Our existence on this
earth plane is not dependent upon material things, but
is dependent upon metaphysical law. Progress and inventions
are the result of thought. Some claim that progress
is the outgrowth of the soul, but soul is mind; therefore,
creative thought must precede the translation of ecstatic
feeling into art, writing, business, research and other creations.
The same Universal Mind which
inspires one person to write beautiful poems leads another person
to outstanding success in business, finance or education. All wisdom
and power reside in Universal Mind, and through our
inner consciousness, we each take from the
universal that with which our mind correlates; that is, we take from Universal Mind
that which is nearest like what we are in thought and
feeling.
In other words, we tune in
on our own wave length. No mistake is made; that which
comes to us out of the universal comes because we attract
it with our thoughts and feelings.
Out of this deeper phase of
mind comes all inspiration, whether it leads to
writing a powerful book, painting an exquisite
picture, launching a great invention, success in the business world, or
victory in a right and just cause. Man's marvelous
and remarkable achievements result from the outpouring
of thought from the inexhaustible fountainhead of Universal
Mind.
College Mission
The purpose of the College
of Divine Metaphysics is to assist its students in the
development of their higher consciousness. In our lessons we do not attempt
to teach the truth of spiritual law, but we do attempt to help people to attain a place where,
degree by degree, they are able to understand the spiritual
or metaphysical law for themselves in their own way,
commensurate with their plane of soul understanding.
Our school is concerned with
causes rather than effects, demonstrations rather than
theories, the practical rather than the abstract. The
laws and principles taught by the College of Divine
Metaphysics avoid theory, speculation and abstractions;
we confine our teaching to the operation of natural
laws. Our teaching is a plain, simple statement of the
mighty law that underlies and correlates all life. It
teaches how to compel effects by controlling causes.
Our school offers the "open sesame" by which one may
enter all the doors of success by controlling the causes
of success.
These courses are comprehensive
and yet easy to master. The knowledge gained in this
study is not only valuable to the individual, but also
prepares students for greater service to humanity.
The success of the College depends upon the development
and efficiency of its studentbody. Therefore, there
is one great thought involved, and that is to help someone
help himself. True self-help brings great good to the
individual as well as to all with whom he or she comes
in contact.
Our teachings are free from empty theories, dogma, and impractical
ideas. Definite instructions, suggestions, hints, vital
helps and exercises are provided, which, if followed, will
foster within the student a consciousness of the Truth. In turn, this realization will manifest as harmony and prosperity
in the student's life and affairs.
Creative Power
Creative power is the ability
to bring into manifestation things that had not previously
manifested in the objective (material) world. Therefore,
creative power is the greatest power of all. It is reserve
power, the kind of power which can be brought into use
when all other power fails; the kind of power needed
in emergencies, in times of stress, and when everything
seems to be going to pieces. This reserve power is to
the individual exactly what the surplus or money reserve
is to a great financial institution.
A simple knowledge of the
ability of the individual to create conditions for himself
will unerringly and inevitably open up a wonderful vista
of possibilities, broaden the outlook of life, and show
how effort to accomplish may be rewarded with certainty.
People who take our courses
gain a glimpse of the bigger picture, of a larger possible
life, along with an aroused ambition to reach for it.
Those who go through our studies feel a new courage,
a new impulse, a new determination to do something infinitely
greater than formerly realized.
Universal Principles
No one can conscientiously go
through these studies without experiencing a spiritual
rejuvenation. The student of religion, the psychologist,
the physicist, the chemist, the electrician, the physician,
the attorney, the author, the financier,
the economist, and anyone who has problems for which
they have not found a solution, will find our courses
to be of great value.
Whatever situation finds a place in the human experience is the result
of the operation of natural laws, and the determining
factors are within each person’s control. This
may seem "too good to be true," but consider recent scientific inventions that have placed almost infinite resources at the
disposal of man; it is obvious that there must be
still other laws, ones not generally known, which contain
even greater possibilities. You want to realize your hopes,
you want your dreams to come true. They can. They will.
The power rests with you. But mere talk, words, hopes
and resolutions are of no avail unless you learn to
put METHOD behind them. Thought is the seed, action is
the blossom, and experience is the fruit.
Life is governed by law, by
actual changeless principles that never vary. Law is
in operation at all times, in all places, in all experiences.
Therefore, an understanding of these laws is of paramount
importance. There is no problem in life that cannot
be solved by the application of these natural laws.
We believe the most important field of study is that of Metaphysics,
which describes the immutable universal laws and
their application to life's problems.
