People discuss the state and nature of the world around them through sciences.
"Hard" sciences are those capable of being quantified, and proven through
repetitive experimentation. "Soft" sciences are those that are harder
to quantify, because they address more qualitative issues. At the
far end of the soft sciences stands the realm of metaphysics--that which
is as of yet unrecognized by science, but appears to exist nonetheless.
This is the convenient catch-all category for anything science can't get
a controlling grip on, and encompasses everything from theoretical sciences
paranormal activity to religion and magic. I have a long-standing
interest in metaphysics, shaped by a worldview that incorporates all such
things into the same functional system as the harder sciences, even in
places where, to a casual observer, they may seem to conflict.
My concentration of focus is on spiritual beliefs,
and the abilities made available to us through the disciplines and principles
taught in various belief systems.
Below, you will find an ever-expanding and evolving list of links to various websites
I've found of interest relating to various metaphysical topics. You
will probably find it a bit skewed in perspective because of my own path,
which is probably most easily described as eclectic pagan.
