Metaphysics and Personal Peace

I often ask myself, why I love metaphysics. Is it that I am bored with the regular aspects of physical life? Is it that I am trying to escape playing the game everyone else likes to play? Or is it really this deep inner longing that there truely is something more. That all that we see around us isn't enough to satisfy the human spirit.

I suspect that our greatness lies hidden within snickering at our dramas of smallness and limitation. We have moments that we seem to rise above and something wonderful emerges and our brilliance comes shinning through. Ever had those moments where you just feel totally connected and that everyuthing is perfect? I hope you have because they are available.

The search through metaphysics, for me, is the search to find the key to sustaining these moments of connectedness, completion, and perfect peace. Afterall, what search could be more fulfilling than one that is heading towards perfect peace? I am talking about a state of being where all is well, you are content and at peace with yourself and the world. You are happy and feel that everything is ok as it is, and that the world is working itself out. Nothing bothers you, no one pulls you off balance, you just do the day with joy and contentment. Enjoying the people and circumstances around you no matter what they are.

I believe this is possible and perhaps it is our natural state of being. And so for me, the metaphysics of human behaviour is the study of all the influences that keep us from finding our peace. If peace is our natural state, then there is no use searching for peace, but the effort is better spent searching for the obstacles to peace , removing them and ...there you are....all peaceful, returned to your natural state.
