    Yes, Mel, the prefix "meta-" imparts a transcendent dimension to the
    base
    term. Thus, meta-physics is a study of reality transcending (in your
    words,
    "moving beyond") the physical. But transcending does not mean simply
    encompassing higher and higher levels of physical reality, ad infinitum.
    It
    signifies a different reality altogether. ...

    mel:
    good point...I do run the risk of equivocating on that,
    but it also seems to me that non-being, in the sense of
    manifesting or Dynamic Quality might be a different
    quality of being rather than simple physical reality...

    Of course even in the intellectual we agree on the
    being of non-existence things for certain purposes,
    say, square root of negative one.

    thanks--mel
