Education
Metaphysics II
Introduction
About the Course
This course is an overview of more of our commonly held Unity principles.  And there is a focus on making our principles practical. A large portion of the course will be devoted to looking at how we can demonstrate or prove these principles in our lives. It is through the demonstration of these principles that you will realize more of your Divine potential.

Course Presentation
The instructor will prepare a Learning Guide for each week’s work. The Learning Guide will include comments about the topics to be studied plus suggestions about what to look for in the assigned readings.

Along with this posting, the instructor will initiate discussion threads by posting specific questions related to the weeks’ topics of study. Students are expected to post responses to the discussion questions, respond to other student’s postings and ask questions of interest to the class. The instructor will respond as appropriate.

Questions of special interest to individual students will be answered by e-mail.

Learning Objectives
On completion of the course, students will be able to:
  • Define and explain some Unity’s commonly held teachings and ideas like the twelve powers and the creative process.     
  • Understand how to apply the metaphysical principles and teachings in their own lives.
  • Create a metaphysical demonstration plan and apply it to their lives.

Requirements for Students
Complete Assigned Readings:
Due to the nature of the required book, Metaphysics II (2006 Edition), the reading assignments will not be lengthy. However, the nature of the material requires careful reading and reflection. Looking up and reading about related topics in the books of interest will enhance your understanding of the material but is not required.

Prayer, Reflection and Journaling
Each individual is expected to invest some time in prayer, reflection and journaling. The amount of time invested is certainly up to the individual and will therefore vary from person to person. Time invested in this way is essential to your really understanding and realizing these truths. You will discover that this will be your most fulfilling work during the course.

Participate in Online Discussions:
Several questions will be posted in the discussion forum each week. Students are asked to post a response to discussion questions and to respond to other student’s postings as they feel inspired to do.

Visit Recommended Web Sites and Recommend Web Sites You Have Discovered
Searching the web for related information is highly encouraged and we hope the fruits of your searches will be shared with the rest of the class.
