Divine Metaphysics of Human Anatomy

The content of "Divine Metaphysics of Human Anatomy" has been updated for this 2022 edition of its paperback book.

The objective of "Divine Metaphysics of Human Anatomy" is to explain how spiritual reality and the spiritual universe relate to physical reality and the physical universe, especially with regard to human form and function. The author of this book shows the compatibility of divine metaphysics with Biblical Christianity and the complementarity of divine metaphysics with other established healing arts practices. By the time readers have finished this book, they will have a much better understanding of what it means to think metaphysically and the practicality of doing so. They will also better understand their spiritual origin and how it is that their souls have come to reside in human bodies. Finally, they will have a better understanding of human form and function in relationship to spiritual principles and the relevance of those principles to healing the whole person.

The author describes the relevance of divine metaphysics for the third millennium of the Christian era in the following six ways: (1) Divine metaphysics for the third millennium is a way of looking at life that recognizes and acknowledges the existence of a supernatural reality and a spiritual universe in addition to the existence of a corporeal reality and a physical universe. However, divine metaphysics employs the understanding that supernatural reality and its accompanying spiritual universe supersede any and all corporeal, physical, and material realities. (2) Employing divine metaphysics during the third millennium does not mean pitting it against the best practices of medicine, psychology, and other established healing arts; rather, it means seeking to complement, enhance, and work alongside those practices. (3) Divine metaphysics for the third millennium does not do away with relying radically on God for healing to the exclusion of all other practices. It just includes the recognition that employing such reliance varies based on time, place, condition, and situation. To be sure, we are always to trust in God completely for all healing, but divine metaphysics for the third millennium includes the understanding that God works, at times, not only in mysterious ways but also in different ways for different conditions in different people in order to address mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual healing not in just one individual but in us all collectively and corporately. (4) Divine metaphysics for the third millennium includes the understanding that multiple variables are involved in human conditions and, for that reason alone, men and women with God-given intelligence try to use all that God has revealed to humanity through His Goodness. (5) Divine metaphysics for the third millennium is completely compatible with Biblical Christianity and the millennial rule of Jesus Christ on Earth. (6) In their application of divine healing principles, authentic practitioners of Christian metaphysics during the third millennium always defer to the sovereignty of Jesus Christ and the supremacy of His Absolute Truth.
