Metaphysics At Unity

I started the Metaphysics 1 class at Atlanta Unity church. I really like it. It never occured to me that one could be metaphysical and Christian. I am still not totally sold on the Christian part but the neat thing about Unity is that all they ask is that you suspend your disbelief and not that you have to bite hook line and sinker! One of the things that I really like about the people is that they seem happy and well adjusted overall. I find that metaphysical people of the new age type are not. Or else they are not grounded. Or in denial. Maybe I just haven’t found the right new age community yet.

Anyway-last week we learned about the difference between Absolute reality and Relative reality. Basically-Absolute is things that never change like God(dess)’s love, divine beauty, love and other neat things like that. Relative reality is anything that changes such as our bodies, thoughts, feelings, jobs, bills, health, and more. To achieve happiness we need to switch back and forth between Absolute and Relative reality. It’s helped me because I do sometimes feel, when I am suffering that God/dess is punishing me. This week I focused on presencing myself to Absolute reality and realizing that it is separate from the relative.

I just love having a place to study and discuss spritual matters with people who are in the same type of exploration. Although our beliefs are not exactly the same-they overlap a lot. It’s also helped me to begin to get to know some of the people that attend the church.

So this Goddess is still figuring lots of things out but loving having such a wonderful place to explore!
