basically, metaphysical means "pertaining to reality". thus, what is "metaphysical" depends on your definition of reality.

read Plato. its all about him. and frankly, altho it is certainly very likely that smug a-level psychology students know something about metaphysics (smiley - smiley), the study of metatphysics has virtually nothing to do with psychology.

"Well said!"

"Er, I believe I've told you I don't DO numbers. I also have no desire, nor need to prove myself to you. I was just giving my take
on the subject. I also said that you need be open to the Medium,
which the one is not only closed, but nearing anger! As long as my family, friends and clients are pleased....that's enough for me. And before you plan out a test for somebody, you might want to ask the somebody if they are interested in taking a test."

All things only
exist in mind
therefor every thing is a
metaphysical concept.

er, um - if everything is in the mind, then everything is perception, and nothing is real. therefore nothing is metaphysical, my little postmodernist smiley - smiley

guess it depends on what def. you're using tho.

In my local city there is a door where a business-sign says a name and underneath Metaphysicist. What does that woman do for a living?

Sounds like a fashionable word for philosopher to me. Oh my god, I typed fashionable in a sarcastic tone of voice, is this making me an old fart?

actually, it probably means that she's some sort of fortune teller - palm readings, tarot cards, seances, and the like - goes with the definition of metaphysical as "beyond physical" i.e. mystical.......sigh.
