Hello Melody,
And everyone - fascinating topic. Just arrived back to find these most interesting and thoughtful posts.
The metaphysics is mainly concerned with acquiring “powers” and gaining control over energy levels. It is based on Mental control. The true biblical Christianity, on the other hand, is not concerned with ”powers” and this type of Mental “knowledge” and control, but rather teaches how to become enlightened, how to acquire higher vibrations with the added bonus of all understandings and abilities that go with it.
Jesus taught Metaphysics - particularly the Law of Attraction - or "Principle of Creation" which I favour as a more accurate term.
Of course he taught many other important values and abilities as well. The Bible is a book of initiation at its innermost levels which few have understood, but more are beginning to understand which is all part of his plan.
According to the Bible, we find ourselves in this plane where we are right now because we ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. We will stay in this plane as long as we vibrate with the evil that we had consummated. When we will get rid of the evil – law vibrations, and have only good ones left = higher vibrations, it is only then we will be able to leave this plane.
"Good" and "evil" are human concepts. There is no such thing as good and evil - only experience.
It is God that predetermined all levels of existence. Each level has specific vibrations. Astral planes have different vibrations and apparently we will transition to the plane which corresponds to our vibrations, not any higher. So, it appears, our vibrations are being “judged’ = measured by a God’s law at a point of transition, and we will find ourselves only in that area that corresponds to our vibrations. We have absolutely no personal or mental choice or control over it at that point.
We are not being "judged" which implies one or more people making arbitary decisions based upon their own values.
The Universe operates to an immutable set of Principles that everything in the Universe, in all Spheres are subject to.
Although we cannot transcend Universal Principles, we always have the frewill and the power fo raise our vibration through evolution and therefore perfection.
To claim that good and evil does not exist, as stated in metaphysics, is, from my point of view, erroneous. As long as there are all those level of vibrations in existence, created by God, then the scale of the spirit’s vibrations exist as well. The lower and higher are on that scale, and since the lower ones would not bring you closer to God they can be called “bad”, “evil”, where as those vibrations on the scale which would bring you closer to God could be called” good” and desirable.
As I said before - "good" and "evil" are human constructs based upon the human experience from the temporal perspective of a space-time bound reality.
Good and evil cannot be defined in absolute terms because there are no benchmarks by which to define it.
The “evil’ is to have low vibrations. Those who engage in low vibrations and are not concerned with raising their vibrations, could sink even to lower vibrating spheres which Bible calls abyss or hell. If it is not all that sweet to live on Earth, with its relatively low vibrations, then imagine being in even lower vibrating spheres. Is that God’s punishment? Yes and no. He is the one who created the vibrational scale for people to chose from. He created the lower spheres that vibrate even lower then where we are right now, and which are even denser than our’s. To assume that we are already in the lowest harmonics of God’s creation would be erroneous. The beings may sink into even lower and lower spheres of existence if they choose to harbour those types of vibrations.
Vibration is an immutable Universal Principle - the characteristic of Energy - it has nothing to do with "good" and "evil".
God decreed it this way and by the rules of his game, the rules of the realms he created those low vibrating beings would go even lower than the Earth vibrations – to “hell”, to the “abyss”. They would not be able to come out of there if they would not choose to change their vibrations to the good - the higher ones.
God does not "decree" - that is a human concept.
In a sense one can claim that it is God’s punishment that people will sink into lower spheres and his reword if they go to higher spheres because he devised it in that way. Yet it is our choice where we will end up. God is not forcing us to make the choice, we have to do it ourselves, we have to make sure we will not to get even lower than where we are already and that we should be trying to get higher, in order to raise our vibrations and get to God’s higher planes of existence And the only way we can do it, is to choose to be “good” and “righteous” and thus become filled with higher vibrations.
There is no punishment or reward system. Being what humans call "good" will not, in and of itself raise vibrations. Evolution is much more complex than that.
Good and Evil exist as long as high and low vibrations exist. And this is not a conjecture of human mind, not a dichotomy created by human beings’. They are a part of the universal vibrations principle.
Again this is over-simplifying things.
By what benchmark can you define "good" and "evil".
Most people would regard a certain majority sect of the Christian Church to be the epitome of good, but yet it has been directly responsible for perpetrating more horror in the form of torture, maimings, brutality, oppression and death, than the most "evil" terrorist organisation today, or of the Nazi's of world war 2 or any other such entity.
If I said to you here is the Christian Church on one hand and a major terrorist organisation on the other, and asked you to define which was "good" and which was "evil" based upon human definitions, you, and everyone else would certainly get them the wrong way around.
In addition, and here is the most important factor of all - every individual is an aspect of God - how can God be considered to be anything less than Perfection?
So the Bible, especially the New Testament, is indeed the teachings about how to become enlightened and attain higher vibrations, and to strive to get away from the low vibrations. This is the main focus and concern of the Bible. The added bonus is, one will get the powers automatically when one will start vibrating with high vibrations.
Metaphysical abilities are not related to Spiritual Evolution. Black magicians often have considerable metaphysical powers. In the Hinu culture these powers, known as Sidhis, are reharded by the enlightened to be a barrier to Spiritual progress.
The Metaphysical teachings are mainly concerned about getting various powers, and not as much as how to raise one’s vibrations - this is not its main focus. But it appears that such powers would be of no real substantial use for the spirit, since they would not raise the soul’s vibrations. For instance, turning the compass’ needle would not make you vibrate with higher harmonics.
Metaphysics by definition means "beyond physics" and is an important aspect of evolution. For example - it is impossible to perform Telekinesis without knowing, beyond any doubt the Oneness of all things. When we move or change something with Telekinesis, we are not moving or changing some object that is external to us - we are moving or changing an aspect of ourselves.
Kind regards,
Adrian.
