And I will give unto thee the metaphysical keys of the kingdom of heaven...

A key is a means of access to an objective. Since heaven is a non-physical state, only metaphysical or spiritual keys can grant one access to it. No one would expect to have a tangible key to open the door to the Spiritual Kingdom! Just into which lock would you insert the key and turn?...

The actual passage that was rephrased to get the headline above is: "And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." - Matt. 16:19

By those words the Master Jesus meant that he would bestow on his disciples the secrets by which to effect changes in the spiritual and material aspects of life and transcend limitations...

Identifying the keys

Apart from being a means of access to an objective, a key could also be a secret or an explanation of a mystery or an answer or a solution to a puzzle.

The metaphysical keys constitute the basis upon which we formulate the non-physical components of our existence (i.e. our beliefs, ideals, attitudes, habits, world view, etc). Since these spiritual components of our world influence our destiny far more than our material circumstances (see home page), it is vitally important that we formulate them based on immutable and universal keys.

These supra-physical keys are the nine “fruits” of the Spirit, namely love,joy,peace,patience,gentleness,goodness,faith,meekness andtemperance.

They are the veiled traits of the highest intelligence of the Life Force (God). They heighten our impartiality, purify our perception, unlock our creativity, energize our enthusiasm, reinforce our resolve, cement our convictions and in many other ways empower us to comprehend and adopt the perfect beliefs, ideals, habits and world view by which to vanquish our limitations.

Grasping the true meanings of these attributes and deliberately cultivating them - you become aligned with the Absolute Spirit and the Will of the Universe and manifest more of the infinite divine powers. You progress on the path of self improvement. You become UNSTOPPABLE because against such an advance there is no law, no resistance...
