	Extension (metaphysics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For John Locke, extension is "only the space that lies between the extremities of the solid coherent parts" of a body.
		Kant maintained a distinction between the mind and the body, differentiating space as the realm of the body and time the realm of the mind.
		Metaphysics have largely disappeared from contemporary philosophy, rendering extension as a term reserved for historical inquiry.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Metaphysics
		Metaphysics, in so far as it treats of immaterial beings, is called special metaphysics and is divided into rational psychology, which treats of the human soul, rational theology, which treats of the existence and attributes of God, and cosmology, which treats of the ultimate principles of the universe.
		Metaphysics, in fact, is the most real of all the sciences precisely because by abstracting from everything eise, it has centred, so to speak, its thought on Being, which is the source and root of reality everywhere else in the other sciences.
		The condition of metaphysics is, indeed, such as to invite the contempt and provoke the disdain of the scientist; the fault, however, may lie not so much in the claims of metaphysics as in the vagaries of the metaphysicians.

	Etheric Body: Chi Body
		The main difference is that humans and animals have their own astral body whereas plants receive astral forces from fairies and other beings as well as the astral fields surrounding the planet.
		A human’s astral body concentrates certain astral forces in various places throughout the body with the organs and glands being the main locations.
		The health of the astral body directly relates to the health of the etheric body which in turn affects the physical body.

	Quodlibet Online Journal: African Traditional Metaphysics - by G. O. Ozumba (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		Metaphysics is defined by Collingwood as the science of pure being and as a science which deals with the presuppositions underlying ordinary science.
		Metaphysics being the study of reality as a whole is concerned with the generalization of experience for the purpose of identifying fundamental entities.
		African metaphysics in the primeval time due to their unwritten nature cannot provide us with a written rigorous specimen of the metaphysics argumentation and analysis, nonetheless, the spirit of rigour is not absent because every view is properly examined and seen to rationally explain a cosmic puzzle before it is accepted.

	Metaphysics degree programs - Karma-Net
		Metaphysics (Greek words meta=after/beyond and physics=nature) is a branch of philosophy, and related to the natural sciences, like physics, psychology and the biology of the brain; and also to,mysticism religion, and other spiritual subjects.
		Other problems that were considered metaphysical problems for centuries are now typically relegated to their own separate subheadings in philosophy, such as philosophy of religion, philosophy of mind, philosophy of perception, philosophy of language, and philosophy of science.
		What might be called the core metaphysical problems would be the ones which have always been considered metaphysical and which have never been considered not metaphysical.

	What is Metaphysics?
		All of these descriptions are correct, for the study and practice of metaphysical principles is simply the study and practice of universal laws that not only apply to the physical, but to the spiritual.
		Metaphysics begins where physics leaves off." Holmes goes on to state the various universal laws that govern both our physical world, and it appears, our spirit life as well.
		While many metaphysics students do not use the term "God," they do believe in one universal force, or power, that is good and loving, and that if we but align ourselves with that power (as in "God’s will") our lives will be full of success, love and joy.

	Compassionate Dragon Healing: Metaphysics 5
		Since Cancer is likely to show up in almost any part of the body, diagnosing metaphysically consists of looking at Father issues related to whatever part of the body in which the cancer occurs.
		One's relationship with the Father in Heaven is ultimately all pervasive and mirrors the progress of the Cancer in the body.
		Excess weight, metaphysically, is a way of putting distance between ourselves and others; a way of emphasizing our separation and isolation from others.

	Leibniz- Discourse on Metaphysics
		Without entering into a long discussion it is sufficient for reconciling the language of metaphysics with that of practical life to remark that we preferably attribute to ourselves, and with reason, the phenomena which we express the most perfectly, and that we attribute to other substances those phenomena which each one expresses the best.
		Monsieur Descartes and many other clever mathematicians have thought that the quantity of motion, that is to say the velocity multiplied by the mass 001 of the moving body*, is exactly equivalent to the moving force, or to speak in mathematical terms that the force varies as the velocity multiplied by the mass.
		Hence the quantity of the motion of the body A at the point D is half the quantity of motion of the body B at the point F, yet their forces are equal, and there is therefore a great difference between the quantity of motion and the force.

	The Matrix as Metaphysics
		We still have bodies, and there are still chairs and tables: it's just that their fundamental nature is a bit different from what we may have thought.
		In this manner, the Metaphysical Hypothesis is analogous to a physical hypotheses, such as one involving quantum mechanics.
		The Metaphysical Hypothesis is a slightly more specific version of the Combination Hypothesis, in that in specifies some relations between the various parts of the hypothesis.

		In metaphysics, a body of spirit is sometimes used to refer to a soul.

		The first book to connect the metaphysics of persons with the belief in life after death, thus intersecting with theological as well as philosophical inquiry, it blurs the divide between metaphysics and the philosophy of mind.

	Few philosophers know anything about Charles Peirce’s metaphysics
		The neglect of Peirce’s metaphysics and theory of mind and body (and also a near-pathological avoidance of bold speculation) is a pity, because I think it is on the border between metaphysics and what we now call philosophy of mind where Peirce made his greatest contributions.
		I understand Descartes’ metaphysical doctrine of the distinctness of mind and body to have originated in his epistemology: that the epistemological summum bonum is certainty, and inability to doubt—indubitability—is the criterion of this certainty.
		In Cartesian metaphysics, the ontological status of the subject, the "ego" of the cogito-proposition derives from the fact that we can be certain "it" exists.

		The discussion concentrates on central metaphysical concepts and problems, including the principles of ontology, substance, particulars and universals, monism and pluralism, space and time, minds, selves and personal identity.
		It is not easy to set out exactly what metaphysics is, and the whole question of what it is has often been thought problematic.

		The idea of spirit as a substantial component of the universe is of course an ancient one, fundamental to the traditional dualistic view most humans hold of the universe and themselves as part of that universe.
		In this view, planets, rock, trees, and the human body are made of matter, but matter is not everything.

	Metaphysics
		Metaphysics is that part of philosophy that examines the composition of the universe, and asks “what is the world -- including us -- made of?” “What is the ultimate substance?”
		For psychology, this would be the idea that the mind (or spirit) and the body are both equally real, and that neither can be reduced to the other.
		It is a monism that looks like a dualism: The mind and the body, he said, are two sides of one “coin,” which is the true ultimate substance of the universe.

		The human body, however does not transmit electrical signals at anywhere close to the speed of light (about 186,000 miles per second).
		Because the body is a biological system, the electrical signals will vary with the activity and health of the body/mind.
		We do the same thing to power our batteries for autos, radios, toys, etc. The body uses these chemicals extensively in the brain, at each of the remote-control locations of the spine, and at each Tsubo throughout the body.
