We, the Metaphysical

We are not the top of the food chain because of our speed or strength. Our thinking and our growing trove of ideas guide and leverage our unexceptional physicality. Our power is in our metaphysical capabilities. Consciousness is a magical power.

Materialism is an imbalance that ignores the source of our power.

(Unfun Fact: Materialism is thoughtless, which also allows for the thoughtlessness of hatred to exist.)

We ignore the magic and our humanity. For stuff we don’t need.

Everything is magic. Some of it repeats. Science measures the repeating part. It’s magic, too, in what it can do.

Our dimension is the simplest in which life complex enough to require a digestive tract can exist. Our part of the universe is small, and could be a time wave emanating from the main (but dark to us) dimension, postulated to be the fifth.

Some people think that we’re just stuff. Thinking, even incorrectly, is not stuff.

Materialists are out of metaphysical shape. Let’s lift our thoughts.

Thank you.
