Metaphysics is ultimately about the questions that 5-year-olds ask.<\/p>\n

for example,<\/p>\n

Why is there anything?<\/p>\n

Where is everything headed?<\/p>\n

Where is God?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Therefore, to write Metaphysics one must be at least
\nas smart \u00e2\u20ac\u201c and as \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcopen\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 as \u00e2\u20ac\u201c
\na 5-year-old<\/p>\n

That is not necessarily as easy as it sounds<\/p>\n

*<\/div>\n

This work attempts to advance our understanding of
\nthe cosmos.<\/p>\n

This work attempts to get us where others have not\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 into the very \u00e2\u20ac\u0153throne room\u00e2\u20ac\u009d of metaphysics\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n

But, the infinitely evolving, morphing and expanding cosmos does not yield its secrets easily.<\/p>\n

We will need to peel-it-away layer-by-layer<\/p>\n

Approach by approach. Theme by theme.
\nConjecture by conjecture. Hypothesis by hypothesis.<\/p>\n

With no significant mistakes at any level<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u201c as that would throw-off the expeditionary journey<\/p>\n

Please note that, respectfully,
\nI only write one treatise \/ lifetime \u00e2\u20ac\u201c and this is it.
\nThere are no philosophy books before \u00e2\u20ac\u201c or after.<\/p>\n

Be assured that I have endeavored to be very, very careful with what I commit to paper<\/p>\n

* * *<\/div>\n

Oh, one last thing……<\/p>\n

To understand the infinite cosmos, one truly need not spend-a-life-time peering through large telescopes or fathoming hyper-complex physics equations or wading-through dozens of esoteric writings…..Indeed, respectfully, they will not advance you beyond, say, \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcsecond base\u00e2\u20ac\u2122.<\/p>\n

One needs, however, to attempt to listen very carefully
\nto the very core of one\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s soul.<\/p>\n

Sincerely,
\nDavid Birnbaum<\/p>\n
