About
Mary Beth
"I am a lover and long time student of
Metaphysics in addition to the many arts connected to
it!"
That said, allow me to introduce myself. My name is
Mary Beth and I was born and raised in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
I now reside in Pittsburgh, PA with my husband, Ron, and our
once homeless cat, Leo, who was sent to us and chose
to become part of our family in September of 2005. (About
Leo, is an entire story in itself).
While my "professional career" has been spent largely in the
business world, originally working for corporations and later
helping Ron operate his business, for as long as I can
remember, I have always been attracted to "the
spiritual."
I can recall at the age of 4 years old being mesmerised with
my mother’s rosary. Many times, while in church, she would
hold it in front of me to stop me from crying. Then, if I
was good, I would get to hold it myself
while she went to communion. It was a real treat for
me! As I grew, the attraction became even stronger. When I
was 8 years old, Instead of playing with dolls, I would build
grottos in the valley behind our house for my
religious statues of The Master Jesus and the Blessed
Mother.
Over the years, the intensity continued to grow. A
particular phrase that kept coming up in church always had
"special" meaning to me. At times, it even seemed that
it called to me. We all have heard it:
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek,
and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For
every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth;
and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Matt.
7:7-8
I started asking, in humility, to know the truth that I may
seek and find. Doors were being opened to go through. However,
the greater my learning became, the more questions I was
developing. Questions that were not being addressed or easily
answered by structured religions or beliefs. It didn't take
long for me to realize that “enlightenment” will only give you
a glimpse of itself. It does not seek you out. You have to
pursue it!
After so many years of researching, studying, and analyzing
“The Philosophical Study of Being and Knowing,” I believe that
although Metaphysics is a curriculum that is never completed,
it is definitely one that everyone can participate in, make a
contribution to, and gain a great deal from.
At this point in my life, I have decided to take the things
I have learned in my business career, my research, and my
own personal journey, and blend them together into something
that I can truly wrap myself around. Something that I want
to do. Something that makes me happy. Something that can
help others on their own path. For me, that something is The
Metaphysical Society.
I believe that "the
metaphysical" is going from “our world” to “God’s world”
then back to “our world” where we can apply the knowledge
we have learned.
"For behold, the kingdom of God is
within you [in your hearts] and among you [surrounding you]."
Luke 17:21
We need only look within ourselves for the
living Spirit who dwells within and seeks expression
through us. This Divine Presence, this Power, responds to
us through the Universal Law of Attraction. When we “let go
and let God,” we give everything over to the Mind of God.
We are confident that the correct answers will be there for
us and everything that we need in life will come to us. As
the Master Jesus said, “What
things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye
receive them, and ye shall have them.” Mark
11:24 This is the Law of
Attraction!
Another revelation for me has been the fact that while
we all need to live by the Universal Laws of God, we
also need to live by the ones that he specifically outlined for
us to follow as individuals. I've come to believe, as did they
Ancients, that an understanding of Astrology is most
helpful in getting this done. Astrological interpretations
are specific to ourselves and lay out the fundamental
Universal Laws we need to pay attention to in this life.
Understand that this is an “individual” journey. By knowing
ourselves, we can practice being ourselves, and finally we will
become ourselves.
The Journey of Self Discovery is the “Power” behind The
Journey. May we be renewed in the Spirit of our Minds.
As I am, enjoy your personal journey! A certain future
awaits you!
All the best,
