What Is Metaphysics?
The word Metaphysics comes to us from Ancient Greece, a combination of two words: Meta meaning over or beyond and physics meaning the physical, material world.  Thus, the combination refers to such concerns that are beyond or transcend the material world. In the common way of speaking, such questions are considered religious, spiritual, or possibly philosophical, depending on the person asking them.

Purpose: The Path of Truth
Metaphysical beliefs, therefore, are the result of passionate endeavours to find purpose in our human existence, searching for a balanced interpretation and explanation of how things really are and what we are. A person could be considered metaphysical if his or her focus is on an experiential, subjective path of truth, seeking the true essence of Being that is in alignment with the Highest Truth and Love, regardless of the name given.
Metaphysics contributes a fundamental level of understanding derived from experience and advanced intuitive knowing on how things “really are.” However, when considered from the spiritual perspective, Metaphysics is not only the pursuit of Truth; it also offers service to the greater good of humankind.

The Definition of Metaphysics in Dictionaries
In contrast to these constructs, the definition of metaphysics found in most dictionaries or universities indicates that it refers to a branch of Philosophy that deals with First Cause(s) and the true Nature of Being. That subject, often under the label of “Speculative Philosophy,” is taught in philosophy departments of most academic universities today. The focus there is the search for objective truth about existence through the rules of reasoned discourse and argument. As such, this pursuit fundamentally rules out those answers found subjectively or by way of the inner self. (For more information about this course of study, consult the Stanford Encyclopaedia of Philosophy.)

Fields of Interest in Metaphysics
In the everyday world, however, today the word metaphysics encompasses many fields of interest. When one expresses an interest in Metaphysics (sometimes referred to as New Age subjects), that interest may be in any one or a combination of the following subjects: Spirituality, Mysticism, Awakening, Life after Death, the Soul, Reincarnation, Meditation, Yoga, Extra-Sensory Perception, Dreams, Jungian Psychology, Parapsychology, Astrology, Self-Help Studies, Positive Thinking, Near-Death Experiences, to name the most popular.
Spiritual and Experiential Exploration of Reality
The common denominator of these and all similar subjects deals with a spiritual and experiential exploration of Reality that will likely not be provable by science or rationalistic argument, although in some cases science is currently being used by some to find support that such experiences actually exist. Still, the basic denominator is the search for truth, purpose, and meaning in life, which metaphysicians believe can be found through spiritual questions and personal experiences (such as when meditating). In a more absolute sense, we like to think of Metaphysics as dealing with the basic questions of life asked by anyone who has truly paused to reflect on earthly existence—whether, for example, there is a meaning or purpose to life; whether there are universal truths that can be found or proven; whether God exists; whether humans have a soul, and if so, why; whether pain and loneliness are inevitable in life; whether one can truly find the way to happiness.

New Thought: A Metaphysical Religious Movement
Most, if not all, Metaphysical practitioners today have a pivotal point of some sort of Spiritual Philosophy in whatever system or teaching of Metaphysics they are engaged. The success of such spiritual movements as Unity and Religious Science stimulated the birth of many independent churches and teaching centers along metaphysical lines. Because of a commonly shared spiritual philosophy held by Unity, Religious Science, and many independents, the term New Thought was adopted to denote a metaphysical religious movement.
If we were to travel from one metaphysical teacher or organization to another, we would find people focused on a wide range of different experiences and teachings, all under the larger umbrella or label of Metaphysics: consider yogis, mystics, astrologers, positive-thinking teachers, meditation teachers, spiritual energy healers, self-help teachers, and so on. These searches also are focused on how such knowledge benefits both individual and collective human life on this earth.

Aumvedas Academy:
Aumvedas Academy may only be one year in existence, but its Founders, Angela Hutcheon and Catherine W Dunne, have been practicing a wide range of modalities for many years and have continued to advance, until one day their paths finally crossed. Together they, in 2015, formed Integrated Energy and Spiritual Learning Centre (IEaSLC). January 2016 Aumvedas Academy was born. Both Founders are ordained Ministers. Keeping in line with Spirituality, both Angela and Catherine also have common interests is Lemuria, Atlantis and Pleiadia.
Their knowledge base is so vast, it is taking longer now to write the Home Study Courses for their Students, having to break them down into follow-on courses.
Aumvedas is a Metaphysical Academy, offering one-on-one tutoring. The Philosophy is to share the Metaphysical/Spiritual teachings with their students and is still an integral part of what is shared with the public.

AUMVEDAS ACADEMY - Lemuria and Telos, the story

Image
by Rev. Angela Hutcheon Lemuria is an ancient city prior and during the time of Atlantis. Lemuria is also referred to as Mu or the Motherland (of Mu). The Lemurian Age took place approximately between the years 4,500,000 BC to about 12,000 years ago. Until the sinking of the continents of Lemuria and later of Atlantis, there were seven major continents on this planet. The lands belonging to the gigantic continent of Lemuria included lands now under the Pacific Ocean as well as Hawaii, the Easter Islands, the Fiji Islands, Australia and New Zealand. Also lands in the Indian Ocean and Madagascar. The Eastern coast of Lemuria also extended to California and part of British Columbia in Canada. The Lemurian race was a mixture of beings that came mainly from Sirius, Alpha Centauri and a smaller number of them from other planets as well. Eventually, as these races mixed together on Earth, they formed the Lemurian civilization.  Lemuria was really the cradle of civilization ...

AUMVEDAS ACADEMY: 21 Lemurian Concepts of Energy

21 Lemurian Concepts of Energy By  Catherine W Dunne  on  Saturday, 3 October 2015 at 18:52 21 Lemurian Concepts of Energy Lemurian energy concepts were based on the understanding that there is nothing and all things at once, that we are creatures that are the universe and the smallest form at the very same instant. Some terms, such as fields, grids,sections, signatures and discomfort do not adequately describe the workings of energy. Energy is the term used here to describe ALL that is, ONE, GOD, SOURCE. 1. Energy is all things, all thought, all existence in any form. 2. Energy is time free. 3. Energy is vibration and all forms of energy have a vibrational signature. 4. By altering the vibrational signature of energy its very nature can be shifted. 5. When vibrational signatures are altered there is a waveform shift in the grids that send the shift throughout the entire grid. 6. Energy is unlimited and immeasurable in its pure stat...

AUMVEDAS ACADEMY - ROOT RACES - WHO WERE THEY?

Image
ROOT RACES              by Rev Dr CW Dunne October 2016 via PLEIADIAN - LEMURIAN - ATLANTEAN  and Wikipedia J ....are stages in human evolution in the esoteric cosmology of theosophist Helena Petrovna Blavatsky , as described in her book The Secret Doctrine (1888). These races existed mainly on now-lost continents . Blavatsky's model was developed by later theosophists, most notably William Scott-Elliot in The Story of Atlantis (1896) and The Lost Lemuria (1904). Annie Besant further developed the model in Man: Whence, How and Whither (1913). Both Besant and Scott-Elliot relied on information from Charles Webster Leadbeater obtained by "astral clairvoyance". Further elaboration was provided by Rudolf Steiner in Atlantis and Lemuria (1904). Rudolf Steiner, and subsequent theosophist authors, have called the time periods associated with these races, Epochs (Steiner felt that the term "race" was not adequate...
