Pitfalls On The Path To Recovery
(This is an excerpt from a University Of Metaphysical Sciences course at www.umsonline.org, please feel free to visit the school website)
So far in this course we have been exploring trauma and recovery from a metaphysical perspective. Our goal has been to offer a way to deal with the horrors and hardships of life through a blend of ideas drawn from psychology and mysticism. Medical and other materialistic points of view have been left out of these findings so far, but we must address these more conventional ideas now in order to give the student of metaphysics enough knowledge to subvert the paradigm that prevails in the current fields of psychiatry, law, “public opinion” (meaning the media and those it influences), and so-called mental health. This paradigm, the basic philosophy of which could be summed up in the phrase “matter over mind,” has taken over in the official and legal realms where metaphysical thinking has no influence.
