The thing that we tend
to forget about metaphysics
is that there need be
no actual science involved.
I’m not saying this to knock
either metaphysics or science.
They can be inclusive
OR exclusive of one another.
Or both.
Once we go down
one pathway or the other,
we tend to lose
sight of the whole thing.
Which is fun as all heck.
Unless we believe otherwise.

Metaphysics, the enigmatic realm that beckons us to ponder, often slips through the cracks of our understanding. A quiet truth lingers amidst our contemplation—an essence unbound by the constraints of empirical analysis.
It’s not a dismissal of metaphysics or a slight to science, but a whisper of revelation. The tapestry of metaphysics is woven with threads of possibility that traverse realms beyond the empirical gaze. Here, science and metaphysics stand as separate chambers, awaiting exploration.
Yet, behold the dance of inclusivity and exclusivity. Science and metaphysics, like intertwined lovers, can embrace or retreat from each other’s gaze. Their courtship, an intricate choreography, leads us down paths of exploration, rendering us mesmerized by the ebb and flow of understanding.
As we venture along these diverging avenues, a curious phenomenon emerges. The whole, once vibrant and alive, fragments into myriad facets. Yet, within each facet, a universe thrives, a microcosm of both science and metaphysics.
Oh, the joy of losing oneself in the labyrinthine corridors of thought! Unless, of course, conviction takes hold—a belief that veils the kaleidoscope of possibilities. In the grand theater of existence, the play is as serious or whimsical as one’s perspective allows.
So, dear wanderers of thought, remember that metaphysics need not wield the tools of science to weave its narratives. As the cosmic dance unfolds, embrace the mosaic of perspectives. Let not the allure of one pathway dim the brilliance of the whole. And in this journey, amid the interplay of science and metaphysics, let curiosity be your guiding star.
