As one who has studied metaphysics my entire life I'll be happy to suggest some books. Metaphysics involves life, the universe and everything and the relationships inherent in the entire cosmos. It's a study of energy, creation, purpose, etc that goes beyond our human senses and explores the universe of energy that lies within yet expands without the physical realm. It isn't a religion but is spiritual. The belief exists that creation didn't just happen but happened due to a cause and for a purpose.
Here is an excerpt from a book, Treatise on Cosmic Fire:
"It is one that has been asked under different forms by men of every school of thought - by religious people who enquire: - "Why did God create at all? Why is existence forced upon one and all?"; by scientists in their search for the ultimate truth and in their endeavor to find out the motivation of all that is seen, and to account for sensuous life; by philosophers in their equally diligent search for that animating subjectivity that is expressing itself through all the moral and ethical sciences in every civilization and among every people; by the biologist in his persistent application to search for the discovery of the source of life, and in his strenuous endeavor to account for the principle of life that is seen ever to evade his investigations; by the mathematician, who, dealing with the form side of manifestation in all the grades of mathematics, decides that God geometrizes, that law and rule pervade universally, that the one exists by means of the many, and who yet is unable to solve the problem as to who that geometrizing identity may be. So the problems persist, and all the many lines of approach (in the endeavor to find the solution) end in the cul-de-sac of hypothesis, and in the recognition of an ultimate something of such an elusive nature, that men are forced seemingly to predicate a source of energy, of life, of intelligence, and to call it by diverse names according to the trend (religious, scientific or philosophical) of their minds. God, the Universal Mind, Energy, Force, the Absolute, the Unknown, - these terms and many others are forced from the lips of those who, by means of the form side, seek the Dweller within the form, and cannot find Him as yet. This failure to find Him is due to the limitations of the physical brain, and to the lack of development in the mechanism whereby the spiritual may be known, and whereby He may, and eventually will, be contacted."
Please feel free to email me if you'd like some reading/study material. Best wishes on your journey!

Metaphysics (from Greek: μεÏά (meta) = "after", ÏÏÏικα (phúsika) = "those on nature", derived from the arrangement of Aristotle's works in antiquity[1]) is the branch of philosophy concerned with explaining the nature of the world. It is the study of being or reality.[2] It addresses questions such as: What is the nature of reality? Is there a God? What is man's place in the universe?

I use metaphysics every day.
Metaphysics means using technoligy that are not explained in physics or are beyond physics.
Qigong, Hwewi'ian mysticism, Reiki, pranic healing, crystal healing, etc could all be considered metaphysical.

it is the study of things that go "beyond that which is physical" - so topics in philosophy, spirituality, other-world experiences, fourth dimension and religion can fall under metaphysics

meta mean after or beyond, so it is the study of things more advanced than the physical.
