# Metaphysics > Metaphysics is a collection of symbolic tools that externalize innate abilities until physics and spirituality reunite into one integrated understanding. - Canonical: https://sassani.app/topic/metaphysics # Metaphysics In Bashar's teaching, "metaphysics" is not a separate supernatural domain set against physics; it is a collection of abilities and symbolic tools created during a cycle of separation to exercise capacities the beings always had while projecting the source onto deities outside themselves. The sessions gathered here frame the metaphysical as the not-yet-clearly-defined: aspects of the same one energy whose mechanics are still being understood. As a civilization integrates, physics and metaphysics are expected to blend into one idea — physics by recognizing consciousness as a factor, metaphysics by recognizing physical existence as equally spirit. ## Tools externalize an ability the practitioner already has The sessions are consistent that no metaphysical tool possesses inherent power. A tetrahedral form, used as a meditative focus, "will represent the basic foundation of all creation in terms of the smallest unit that can be manifested as a material form" and can put you "in touch with the prime frequency, the actual carry-over point ... from non-physicality into physicality"; yet the crystals and structures are "catalysts ... representative of energy and, of course, power. But the power for manifestation is not in them, it is in you. These are triggers." The same principle applies across the symbolic toolkit — wands, runes, cards, astrology: the symbol externalizes a capacity the practitioner is exercising, rather than supplying it. This is why every practitioner is, in this framing, a channeler, since channeling is described as "any function of creation from higher self to physical self." ## The mechanics: vibration, persona, and physical reality as feedback The mechanics treat everything as one energy at different frequencies, with the persona as a prism through which that one energy is refracted into a physical-seeming experience. Belief, emotion, and thought are "the three sides of the prism you refer to as your personality," and the persona, while valid, "always changes ... every time you change a thought, every time you change an emotion, every time you change a belief, you are not the same person, literally." On this view, physical reality is not separate from consciousness but "what you call your feedback mechanism"; circumstances do not arrive to prove you are stuck but to show what you believe, so that you can change it if you don't prefer it. Events are fundamentally neutral — "positive meaning in, positive effect out. Negative meaning in, negative effect out" — so the meaning assigned, not the circumstance, determines the effect. Imagination and emotion have specific functional roles: "Your imagination is the template, the blueprint ... Emotion is the activation switch." If the emotion behind a blueprint is positive (excitement, joy), the positive blueprint is activated; if it is fear, doubt, or guilt, the negative blueprint is. ## Don't take it to extremes — a self-correcting caution The corpus contains an unusual self-correction: a whole teaching on "metaphysical misconceptions" warning against using these ideas as a club or taking them to extremes. The session acknowledges that yes, the framework allows you to transform pain and fear, but it resists the conclusion that feeling any pain or fear means you are doing something wrong: "many individuals will take this idea again to extremes and not allow themselves to recognize that there might be a reason why you are uncomfortable with someone." Some discomfort is simply "the natural vibrational signature that you are incompatible" — a warning system working correctly, not a failure. The same session names the opposite failure: using metaphysical knowledge "as a club to beat other people over the head with it," assuming anyone who disagrees must be missing the point. "Not everyone who may disagree with your point of view ... is necessarily someone who must" change; the knowledge you have is for you first. This is also where the framework preserves ordinary sense: "certain experiences of so-called pain and fear actually serve a positive purpose ... in a survival mode, [you might] be a little bit too afraid to jump over the edge of a high cliff ... if you had no pain sensation at all, your body could be on fire and be consumed and you would never know it." ## Channeling and psychic functioning are empathic, not mental The mechanics describe channeling and psychic functioning as emotionally activated rather than intellectual. Telempathy (the corpus's correction of "telepathy") "is emotionally activated, which means the more you identify with an individual, or an object or a circumstance, the more you mimic its frequency"; it is not literal mind-reading but being on such a similar wavelength that the same thoughts arrive at the same time. The same logic explains why laboratory tests of psychic functioning often fail: psychic functioning "will always take the path of least resistance" (so if one person already knows the answer, the channel short-circuits), depends on need and desire, arises spontaneously rather than under sterile mental scrutiny, and is filtered through each individual's personal definitions of the symbols. The message: "the laboratory in which to search for these things is not necessarily the laboratories your scientists think, but the laboratory of spontaneous life itself because it is emotionally activated." ## Physics and metaphysics converge The chapter's overall trajectory is that the metaphysical and the physical are the same domain seen at different stages of definition. "Even what you call now, some of your leading edge physicists are beginning to realize that your physical reality is only what you define it to be. So what you call the idea of physical reality and what has been called in the past metaphysical reality is beginning to blend its definitions." The expected end state is "an understanding that consciousness itself must be a part of any scientific equation ... your perspective utterly determines the reality you get. You get the result you design the experiment for." This is also the basis for the session's caution about skepticism-as-bias: a skeptic "will always be able to say, 'I told you so,' because that's what they believe going in"; open-mindedness, not prior disbelief, is treated as the genuinely scientific posture. ## Practical implications Treat metaphysical tools as triggers, not power sources. A crystal, wand, card, or symbol only catalyzes the ability already in you; the practitioner is the source. Read physical reality as feedback, not verdict. Events are neutral props that mirror beliefs; the meaning you assign determines the effect you get. Use imagination as the blueprint and emotion as the activator. The blueprint you energize with feeling is the one that manifests. Don't mistake the framework for a demand to feel good constantly. Discomfort can be valid information about incompatibility; pain can serve a survival function; "you don't have to throw the baby out with the bathwater" by taking the ideas to extremes. Keep the knowledge humble and first-person. Don't use metaphysical framing to label or correct others; assume what you know is for you until synchronicity obviously invites sharing. Treat channeling and psychic functioning as empathic, not mental. They arise through identification and resonance, take the path of least resistance, and live in spontaneous life rather than forced test conditions. None of this is presented as verified physical observation. Generated imagery and metaphysical claims remain attributed explanation, not scientifically established fact; preserve that framing when applying the ideas. ## Representative passages Metaphysics in that sense, it is not something truly extra to the physical reality. It is simply different aspects that you have not yet clearly defined in ways that are applicable, workable, in what you call your day-to-day life. ... What you call the idea of physical reality and what has been called in the past metaphysical reality is beginning to blend its definitions to some degree.— Bashar, Mechanics Of Metaphysics (mechanics-of-metaphysics#text) Tetrahedral structure in this way will represent the basic foundation of all creation in terms of the smallest unit that can be manifested as a material form. ... But remember, all of these structures, all of these ideas, all of these crystals are catalysts. They are representations and reflections of the master crystal of consciousness. You are. ... The power for manifestation is not in them, it is in you.— Bashar, Mechanics Of Metaphysics (mechanics-of-metaphysics#qa-6) Telempathy is emotionally activated, which means the more you identify with an individual, or an object or a circumstance, the more you mimic its frequency, the more you operate on a similar wavelength. You don't literally read each other's minds directly. It's that you have the same type of thoughts at the same time.— Bashar, Mechanics Of Metaphysics (mechanics-of-metaphysics#qa-11) Many individuals will take this idea again to extremes and not allow themselves to recognize that there might be a reason why you are uncomfortable with someone. ... Sometimes such kinds of discomfort may simply be the natural vibrational signature that you are incompatible. ... The point is not always so much to not have those feelings, but to learn to use them in a positive way when they do occur.— Bashar, Metaphysical Misconceptions (metaphysical-misconceptions#text) ## Related - [Science](https://sassani.app/topic/science) - [Channeling](https://sassani.app/topic/channeling) - [Permission Slips](https://sassani.app/topic/permission-slips) - [Consciousness](https://sassani.app/topic/consciousness) - [Personality Prism](https://sassani.app/topic/personality-prism) - [Imagination](https://sassani.app/topic/imagination) Markdown twin of https://sassani.app/topic/metaphysics.
