Metaphysics is a branch of philosophy. It is the branch of philosophy asking "what exists?" What entities form this universe? Metaphysical studies can concern difficult, perhaps unanswerable, questions bordering theology. Ayer, (1971) used the term "transcendent metaphysics" for proposals of existence beyond the observable universe. Like Kant, he denied them a part in logic. As used here, metaphysics includes any suggestion that something, not immediately obvious, does exist.
Well as a metaphysician, you can theorize about the job that is not immediately obvious to us, but does exist. But alas we are bound by the state of the job market to satisfy our immediate and base needs (food, shelter, clothes, transportation, et al.). You can always attempt graduate school, and a PhD. As a professor, you may not make a difference in the lives of your students, but you will have the opportunity to delve deeper in your understanding of the unobserved universe. You may even write, becoming the first truly brilliant philosopher since W.V. Quine. Or you could do as I did, and get an MBA, earn 6 figures, and enjoy the blank stares that people give you when you offer this quote from Kierkegaard, "People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use." Good Luck.
What kind of crystal should I use? (Crystal healing)?
I don' think I need a crystal for any physical ailments, but mentally and spiritually, I want to learn to connect with myself and my dreams more and find my spiritual guide.
I know of a nice little spiritual shop, and they have a small collection of crystals, but I don't know can't tell whether I'm drawn to them or not. I've read about actually holding the crystal in my hand and feeling the vibrations, but I still can't tell. Maybe I haven't spent much time with them. Any other ways to tell whether you're drawn to a crystal or if a crystal is drawn to you?
As for the actual crystal, I'm thinking of Aqua Aura. An Aqua Aura/Moonstone or Amethyst pendant would be nice. For quite a few years now, I've been attracted to Aqua Aura. I've seen pictures of it on the internet and read about it's metaphysical properties and I knew I had to have one. However, I've read that you have to be cautious about picking a crystal over the internet.
Any advice?
Aqua Aura is indeed an amazing stone. I have 3 personally. The fact you keep thinking about it and have been attracted to it for so long is a clue that it is meant for you. Even though you can't see it and are not there to be able to feel it, it still could be calling to you.
I bought 2 of my Aqua Auras from ebay and love them. I bought the other from a Psychic Fair they have in my city twice a year. If you go for a pendant and do want either an amethyst or moonstone to compliment it, I'd personally suggest an amethyst. Aqua Aura and Amethyst are both from the quartz family and excellent for dreams and spiritual guidence. They would work very well together and enhance each other's metephysical properties.
As for buying over the internet, I completely agree you have to be cautious. I just purchased from a website and am very happy with the pendants I received. (I bought a Ruby Aura and a Purple Siberian Quaztz.) Here is a direct link to their Aqua Aura page which also gives info on them and many of the other Auras. http://www.alienufoart.com/Aqua_Aura_Quartz_aqua_aura.htm
You also had asked other ways you can tell if you are drawn to a crystal or if it is drawn to you asides feeling its vibrations. I have read that sometimes it is as easy as the one that really draws your attention. I personally have found this to be true. Use your intuition. Sometimes you can just tell when a crystal wants to come home with you. Like the Aqua Aura has been "calling" to you for some time now.
Have fun choosing your crystal(s). There are so many out there. I know you'll find one, or perhaps several, that you are meant to have and work with.
Wicca is a nature and magic based religion that is taken from the Pagan practices of ancient times. Wicca mimics other world religions with its own rituals, seasonal "holidays" and belief system. The beliefs of the religion can vary by region, since there is no orthodox method of practice or central organization. There are, however, published teachings and works that most Wiccans adhere to.
The majority of Wiccans worship a God and Goddess who are considered to be equal, complimentary beings, and often are represented by the sun and moon. There is a trinity concept in this religion, with the Triple Goddess having aspects of the "Mother", "Crone" and "Maiden". Many members of Wicca concede that the Goddess had to predate her companion since she is the giver of life.
It is believed that both the God and Goddess are able to take form in the body of the Wiccan coven's Priests or Priestesses during ritual. Though they believe in deities, the concept of an afterlife doesn't hold strong in the Wicca community. Reincarnation is a favored belief and traditional teaching.
Possibly the most adhered to text in Wicca is the Wiccan Rede, which states "and it harm none, do what ye will". This is interpreted as meaning that as long as a person's actions do no harm to anyone else; they can consider themselves free to pursue them. There is also the concept of the Law of Threes (also known as the Law of Threefold Return) that says whatever positive or negative actions a person puts out into the world will return threefold.
The magic rituals of Wicca are performed within a coven or group of practitioners. The rituals are usually begun by casting a circle by invoking "guardians" of the elements and associated cardinal points: North (earth), West (water), South (fire) and East (air). The four elements are thought to represent every action and being on earth. The five points of the pentagram worn by those practicing Wicca stand for the elements and the presiding spirit.
After the circle is cast, prayers are made to the God and Goddess and spells may be cast. If it is at the time of a seasonal holiday, a special ritual may be performed. Tools a coven may have on hand for the ceremony include a book of spells (Book of Shadows), an altar cloth, cauldron, chalice, wand, broom, candles, crystals, athame (ritual knife) and incense. When the ceremony is finished, the God and Goddess are thanked for their participation and blessings and the coven closes the circle.
The Book of Shadows mentioned above is sort of a personalized religious text for either a single practitioner or- more commonly- a coven. The contents are kept secret but often contain such public domain works as the Wiccan Rede. What type of book is actually used varies between Wicca practitioners.
There are many "holidays" or seasonal observances in Wicca. Full moons (and sometimes new moons) bring about the ritual Esbat. There are also eight Sabbats- four of which, the cross-quarter days, are larger than the others and relate back to ancient fire festivals. These are named Samhain, Beltane, Lammas and Imbolc. The other, lesser celebrated festivals are the Summer and Winter solstices and Spring and Autumn Equinoxes.

Metaphysical Hypnotherapy is simply the use of hypnosis in a deep, spiritual and mystical way to enable a person to take control of feelings, behaviours, habits, and self-image. I have seen just about every possible human problem one can imagine. I could not begin to guess how many times I have heard a client, in describing what they want to accomplish in hypnotherapy say, “ You’ve probably never heard of someone with THIS problem.”
It seems most people feel as if they and their problems are unique among human experience. While our experiences make each of us unique, what we feel, how we respond to the world around us, and how we interact with other people is not unique. We all have the same senses. The way we deal with this life is greatly variable, but only within certain parameters. There are boundaries to human experience and behaviour. Your feelings, thoughts, behaviours, and problems aren’t as strange or unusual as you might think.
People don’t tell others about their fears, doubts, worries, anxieties, or things they think are strange about themselves. Believe me, whatever your difficulty in life might be, it isn’t as strange or unusual as you think. I have never been shocked by something a client told me. As a matter of fact, I haven’t even been surprised for some time now. There are only so many things humans can do.
There certainly have been some clients over the years for which hypnotherapy was not the appropriate form of therapy. These people were referred to other professionals. In most cases the presented problem is far less serious than people think. I believe that in most instances people can solve their own problems, with a little understanding, direction, positive motivation, and effective mental dynamics.
Metaphysical hypnotherapy, of course, uses the mental tool of hypnosis combined with the therapists (and there are not many metaphysical hypnotherapists) skilled guidance in the application of the laws of metaphysics. Many people have seen too many movies or television shows where a writer needed a magical solution to a plot problem and used that mystical power of hypnosis to solve his problem. Hypnosis may indeed hold a mystical element when it is combined with a metaphysical approach to therapy. It IS a very effective mental tool that enables people to take control of things that may have seemed beyond their control in the past. Metaphysical hypnosis is a completely natural, yet different, state of consciousness from the normal waking state. When a person is in the state of hypnosis he/she is completely awake and alert. He/she knows exactly what is happening at all times. You can not be controlled by someone using hypnosis. While under hypnosis, your awareness is actually heightened and carefully focused. You become very receptive to positive suggestions that are acceptable to you, and are able to learn from the artificial experiences or perhaps reconnection with past states of being or even precognition of future or alternative states or dimensions perceived in the hypnotic state.
I have been asked, hundreds of times, “ What about those stage shows where they make people do all those ridiculous things?” They don’t MAKE anyone do anything. Think about who goes up on stage and why. You would certainly never see me up there! I don’t like being foolish in public. These people are volunteers. They want to be foolish and playful on stage and not be responsible for their behaviour. They are having fun. None of them will ever do anything they don’t want to do under hypnosis. No one ever does. A person under hypnosis is only doing what he wants to do aided by the freeing and emotive power of hypnosis.
A well-trained and experienced therapist can use the artificial (guided models) or perhaps past-life, future life projection, time-line metaphysics or similar experiences perceived under hypnosis to desensitize a client’s fears, improve his self-image, or gain other behavioural or emotional goals. Goal achievement is an area of human behaviour where this tool of hypnosis is very helpful. Other areas include overcoming fears, improving sports, performance, stress control and relaxation, elimination of habits, gaining self confidence, sexual dysfunction, smoking cessation, tinnitus reduction/management and success motivation. Basically, if a feeling or behaviour in your life is undesirable to you, in most cases Metaphysical Hypnotherapy can be of value by helping an individual to connect with and draw upon the power of the universal mind.
The real goal in most cases is for the client to learn effective mental dynamics and take control of his life. This is often achieved with a mix of therapeutic techniques. There are no easy fixes. There is no effortless cure for your problems, but with a little knowledge, a little effort, and personal responsibility you can make your life what you want it to be. The real magic is in responsibility, focus, new understanding and application of universal principles. It helps a lot to have effective tools and the knowledge with which to apply these principles effectively for healing and positive change. Your life should be what you want it to be. It is your life. Take control and get what you desire out of it.

Of course we all dream about our futures; however do you ever feel the need to know more facts about what exactly is in store for you? A way to find out more would be through getting psychic readings. Obviously research should be done before attempting to receive any sort of psychic readings unless you would like to be a victim of the big world of psychic scam artists. There are many genuine and honest psychics in the midst of all of those scam artists but it is your job to find them.

However if you had paid for those psychic readings then you probably would be heavily regretting spending that money.
A free psychic reading lets you have more control over the information that has been given to you. People usually tend to behave this way with other things in their life, not just psychic readings. Think about the most valuable object that you own. How much more do you take caution when moving it around as opposed to something you’ve managed to obtain for free? If you pay high prices for psychic readings, you will probably take the advice more heavily whether you want to or not. A free psychic reading just might provide you with the same guidance you would have received from expensive psychic readings.
The obstacle to overcome in getting a good free psychic reading is finding someone who will give you a free psychic reading in the area you are interested in. There are so many different psychic readings you could prefer to receive. Maybe you should just try to receive a free psychic reading from multiple psychic networks and see which psychic readings site suits you the best. This way you don’t just settle for any one psychic readings network but get to shop around before you invest in any particular psychic.

You can find a free psychic reading simply by going online and searching for that topic. Hundreds of places offer psychic readings so all of the best of luck to finding one you can really feel comfortable with.
