Metaphysics


met"a·phys'ics (-iks) n. pl. : the branch of philosophy studying the nature of existence and reality.  Metaphysics is customarily divided into ontology, which deals with the question of how many fundamentally distinct sorts of entities compose the universe, and metaphysics proper, which is concerned with describing the most general traits of reality.

phi·los'o·phy (fï ló sofee) n. : the science of reality, existence, causality, truth, and the nature of Mankind.

i"de·ol'o·gy () n. : the philosophy of social and political doctrine, governing the association of men.


     Existence is axiomatic, but there is no other cause for the misery and confusion of Mankind, that exists today, than the differing concepts of existence.  The framers of the U.S. Constitution failed to acknowledge freedom of metaphysics, or separation of metaphysics and state, because all common forms of metaphysics were forms of deism or religion.  Freedom has been tied to "blind faith" accidentally, because metaphysics was implicit. This allowed Mankind's ability of reason to be subjugated and used to strip Mankind of individual freedom; by enforcing the metaphysics which denies the existence of reality outside the imagination of Man's mind.  "Intellectual democracy" destroys Mankind's ability to reason; defining reality by the concurrence of a group.  Individuals reason, groups do not.  Nothing has ever been created by a group.  Everything that Mankind has produced and created has originated in the mind of an individual.

"Cogito, ergo sum" (I think, therefore I am.)
— Rene Descartes

     This one quotation helps identify the specious reasoning that is destroying the freedom and happiness of the world population today.  Descartes senses the axiom of existence.  He realizes that it is his conscious mind which has been the sense used.  Therefore, he is assured of his own existence, but nothing else.  Existence of everything, outside of himself, could simply be an illusion created by his mind.  The quotation places the mind as primary and existence as secondary.  When one senses existence there is a major decision to be made.  Are all of my sensual inputs imagination or are they concrete impulses that allow me to sense reality? 
    If you, as an individual, decide your sensual inputs are simply imagination, then you are immortal and can have no value in life.  Nothing will help you but imagining things you want, and nothing can hurt you but hurtful thoughts.  No physical action can obtain anything you desire.  It is mind over matter.  You struggle against "dangerous ideas" that might keep you from imagining existence in the form you desire, and insist that others be coerced to your imagined universe.  The advancement of science and knowledge of reality, was used to displace the public acceptance of the metaphysical base given by religion.  The metaphysical void was filled, using tax dollars as grants, by the Federal government.  Our great universities at one time differed tremendously in the fields of philosophy.  Each gaining or losing students as a result.  The Federal government has used grants and student loans to become the primary financial benefactor to universities.  Universities have become a form of public education and are dependent upon government funding.  The government only funds one philosophy (albeit in a myriad of shades and perspectives).  The metaphysics of nihilism, romanticism, or many of the various names of those philosophies which place the conscious above reality.  The destruction of the United States has been accomplished from within.  Philosophy is considered meaningless by most people, because they are exposed to the foolishness defined as philosophy by our wayward universities and intellectuals.  Disrespect for philosophy left a void in this country.  A nation's standard of value is determined by the most commonly accepted philosophy or metaphysics.  The population of this once great nation has, through default, allowed the nihilistic philosophy of another age to destroy its cultural foundation.  The scientific community operated centuries without a metaphysical base.  The "Inquisition" allowed scientist to study only if they refrained from conflicting openly with the metaphysics of religion.  The metaphysics which replaced religion was not that which forms the core of science.  It is the philosophy that was used to neutralize science in an effort to protect the religious metaphysics.  It is the romanticism, and nihilism, which denies reality's existence beyond the imagination.  There is a new "Inquisition" underway today.  Nihilism is in full assault upon science and the morality that comes from scientific thought.  Pseudo-science is the order of the day.  Masquerading as science, it is being used to frighten the population and enforce the illusion of victimization required to grow governmental power.  Any real science, which conflicts with this agenda, is shouted down and discouraged by the withdrawal of government funding.  The current "Inquisition" allows scientist to study only if they refrain from conflicting openly with the metaphysics of Nihilism and government fear tactics.  Nihilism is a metaphysics by which individual freedom may not exist.  It is a metaphysics which denies Mankind's purpose and creates nothing but confusion, misery, and tribal politics.  The citizenry of the U.S. considers the metaphysics of their Forefathers outdated, but readily accepts the metaphysics of philosophers that struggled to negate the human mind during the same period.  It denies reality outside of the conscious mind.  Have you ever heard, "He may have been right according to his reality.", or "That thinking is too black and white."?  It is the atavistic metaphysics of the savage peoples.  It allows no reality, except that created by group consensus.  It allows only actions which benefit the group, including the sacrifice of any individual.  It is the mind that must be enslaved, and not behavior.  Crimes become anything that is not considered "politically correct".  Ideas become dangerous.  "Hate crimes" become the order of the day.  It is what the criminal was thinking that becomes important and not the behavior.  Without proper metaphysical awareness, an individual cannot reason or produce anything of value.  I reiterate; nothing has ever been created by a group.  Everything that Mankind has produced and created has originated in the mind of an individual.  Anyone accepting that reality is imagined and created by the mind, should leave this reality and move to a more perfect reality; removing their irrational behavior from society.

"I am, therefore I think."
— Wm. B. Steele (2001AD)

     This statement places existence as primary.  Implicit is the idea that consciousness requires existence.  Consciousness is part of reality, and one's sensual inputs allow one to survive within reality.  People may perceive reality differently, but people are perceiving the same reality.  This is the decision that allows men to survive as free individuals.  Before we continue with further conceptualization, we must look upon the axiomatic basis of reality, which is existence.
