Something I have been dwelling on.
To come here to just expereience and adventure seems legit.
But coming here to learn how to create, understanding the creation and act, and the potential levels of creative acts is a whole different type of existence.
Why would one decide to sacrifice experience for knowledge(seems confusing but in a sense is true)
Does one learn the mysterious to access a new existence for a realization of being a creator and observer?
How can 2(more I'm sure) separate realities inhabit the same environment and still have harmony? Why were the deep thinkers smarter before the terror idea sold to the public?

Seeing the beauty is important but does have a link

Dwell deeper.
Analyze less, experience more. There is no dichotomy between creating and experiencing what is created. Creation is eternal, joyous.
In truth, there is nothing to learn, for we already are everything we need to know. There has never been a point when we were not creating with our Creator; no "time" when we had to go from un-knowing, to knowing. This physical "life" is an intense focus, a dream. Its intensity is such that we forgot it is a projection of our beautiful mind.
That is why the mysterious seems mysterious...it is as if part of us went into a coma, but another part of us remained awake, and tried to tell us we were dreaming. It is not really mysterious, we simply forgot that it is our true Nature, coming to the surface to remind us who and what we truly are.

I think at some point in time, we ALL ask similar questions. Mostly regarding why are we here, what is our purpose (if any), what guides us other than ourselves, what greater power watches over us and protects us, what are miracles and happenstance...etc.
Actually, Metaphysical means literally, beyond the physical and the science behind explaining, learning and understanding the natural world/universe around us on both planes of existance.
Its true what they say - ignorance can be bliss. But not much fun. Learning metaphysics is a step into a whole other world. It expands your mind, body, conscience and spirit. For those who are religious or spiritual, mysticism, as believed by many including some early Christians, is the pursuit of achieving communion or identity with, or conscious awareness of, ultimate reality, the divine, spiritual truth, or God through direct experience, intuition, or insight; and the belief that such experience is an important source of knowledge, understanding, and wisdom.
If you are interested in spirituality and wanting to learn more about yourself, people around you, our Earth and the Universe, than these are important, inner worlds to explore. If you want to go along believing only what others tell you about them, than don't delve into these subjects as they would open your mind beyond the "blissful ignorance".

Wow, so many questions!
Well, I'm not sure how to answer this question...
... all I can say is that the world I live in seems to be completely different than the ones others live in by learning about metaphysics and mysticism.
By opening the heart and mind, you open yourself to millions of new possibilities, just waiting to happen.

Metaphysics is the belief that we create our own reality.
Mysticism is seeing God in all things. Knowing that we are not alone.
The two are not similar and really have no link.
As to why is it important - well, that's up to you.
