From Antiquity to Metaphysics – The Path to Metaform

From the beginning of human history, man has searched for answers to the puzzles of the physical world.  The ancients used the power of observation to gather insights and information about how the power of unseen forces could be harnessed to the benefit of man.  Until recently, scientists scoffed at the practices and theories of these ancient people- dismissing them as being either pseudo-science or quackery.  However, recent research and scientific findings have uncovered the truth that these people held the keys to human healing and possessed an intuitive understanding of the basic construction of the universe. 

Relativity before Einstein? 

"Pure logical thinking cannot yield us any knowledge of the empirical world:
all knowledge of reality starts from experience and ends in it."
-Albert Einstein

Not to be confused with Albert Einstein’s theory of special relativity, the principle of relativity was also available in an early embryonic form in the Indian philosophical concept of "sapekshavad". The literal translation of this Sanskrit word is "theory of relativity.”  Through simple observations these people proposed a rudimentary atomic theory and believed strongly in a universe that was constructed of atoms and waves.  It was proposed that all human thought, understanding, and health originated from these particles and waves. 

Greeks such as Pythagoras and Aristotle advanced the first firm theories of physics and also certain ideas that they thought were “beyond” physics, and so named them metaphysics (meta is the Greek word for beyond).  To these thinkers, space contained many properties which could be hypothesized, but could not be described accurately because they were beyond the scope of human understanding at the time.  To describe the problem these thinkers had, try putting yourself in their place.  Describe, if you can, infinity- Remember infinity has no end, but by way of reason, has no beginning either.  Can you do it?  Unless you use a descriptive device or a cheat, such as a circle, infinity is well beyond the scope of human thought.  Does this mean that it does not exist?  Of course not!  Thus, Aristotle and Pythagoras were among the first metaphysical theorists, proposing ideas about forces they could not fully comprehend, but understanding that space must be composed of something. 

The Scientific Revolution

The scientific revolution that came about as a result of the enlightenment transformed the way man thought about the universe.  This time period spawned the belief that all phenomenon were quantifiable and that all mysteries of the world could be fully explained by science.  Foremost of these philosophers was Isaac Newton who believed that the universe was as functional and predictable as a clock.  Any terrestrial body could be found at any given time in space as long as one could find the pattern.  This mechanistic way of viewing the universe was shared by many of Newton’s contemporaries. 

Only a few brave souls questioned the veracity of his theories.  Among these was Rousseau who declared that all of this reliance on unchangeable science was foolish.  He believed that there had to be other explanations of the universe than those offered by Newtonian physics.  To Rousseau, Newton’s theories suffered from a lack of imagination.  He knew there must be more to the universe- in fact he thought that he could feel it.  Like Aristotle, he could not explain what he could not conceive of.  Somehow, he knew that all matter, whether on Earth or in space, must somehow be interconnected.  Christian Huygens took this idea one step further by proposing that the one universal constant connecting all matter was waves.  He proposed that the largest to the smallest matter in the universe all were made up of waves.  Of course all of this was nonsense to strict Newtonians, but the 20th century started to show that Rousseau and Huygens were not charlatans, but were geniuses. 

Modern Science

The beginning of the 20th century brought the start of a revolution in physics and, by way of reason, metaphysics. The long-held theories of Newton were shown not to be correct in all circumstances. Beginning in 1900, Max Planck, Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr and others developed quantum theories to explain various anomalous experimental results, by introducing discrete energy levels. Not only did quantum mechanics show that the laws of motion did not hold on small scales, but even more disturbingly, the theory of general relativity, proposed by Einstein in 1915, showed that the fixed background of space-time, on which both Newtonian mechanics and special relativity depended, could not exist. 

Why Metaform?

The science of quantum physics and string theory of space were later born from these revolutionary thinkers. To this day, even the greatest scientific minds fail to grasp the true realities and potential for energy that exists in the universe. Like Aristotle, Rousseau, and Einstein, they search for a model that shows how all life, matter, space, and time are somehow connected. The answers, no matter how brilliantly put forth, always fail to describe and predict what we see in the universe.  Alas, in some ways we are no more advanced than during the time of the ancient Indians and Aristotle. Our science is nothing more than concocted stories used to describe what we can perceive with our five crude senses. 

The last 20 years has shown that there are many gaps in our knowledge of science as it relates to human physiology.  A person whose body is riddled with cancerous cells makes a miraculous recovery, while others with similar problems perish.  What is the difference? As with physics, medical science fails to grasp the entirety of how human beings function. Rather than treat humans as perfectly functioning machines, as Newton did with the universe, many modern healers are attempting to treat people with remedies that seem more from the past than the present. These modern doctors have looked to physics for some of the answers. One of these groups of researchers firmly believes that the universe is made up of nothing more than different waves of energy. Like Pythagoras and later Huygens, they believe that human beings are part of a vast network of wave energy that discreetly runs the universe. As proof of this, they offer the tale of early astronauts who were sickened by a mysterious illness upon visiting outer space for the first time. 

A wise scientist discovered that these early astronauts were sickened because their bodies missed the 7.83 Hz “hum” of the Earth’s movement.  Through the use of simple logic, many scientists have concluded that these waves could be the very basis of health that humans have sensed and known about for years.  Recent research has revealed amazing therapeutic uses for tuning forks and other instruments that generate different waves for healing and renewal.  Humans have used sound for healing for thousands of years, but there has not been a hint of scientific theory to validate these practices until the advent of the space age.  Like the great thinkers who came before, modern science has no explanation for exactly how these sound waves heal.  They cannot describe or validate how it is done in any way.  However, they do know that people have been cured of everything from major illnesses to minor aches and pains by using tuning fork therapy.
