Extraphysicalism

Extraphysicalism is a metaphysical thesis that supports everything is extraphysical, that supports even physics are part of extraphysics and vice versa, and there's a dialectical relationship between physics and extraphysics as well. Extraphysicalism also advocates all living beings and things have an extraphysical counterpart and it believes that the soul, the spirit, the mind and the consciousness exist at extraphysical level, besides advocate extraphysical theory and extraphysical mechanics play an important role in the universe and in the existence as well. Extraphysicalism is used to refer to the idea of extraphysics as basis of existence while extraphysicism is used to the idea about becoming extraphysical, even both are literally the same in practice.

"Extraphysicalism is really interesting thesis and it might be good to understand our world beyond and above physicalism and materialism as well, and also encourage people to look for extraphysics and even develop extraphysical studies and research as well, such as even find out that soul, spirit, mind and consciousness exist at extraphysical level and that extraphysical planes of existence and extraphysical beings are just natural and part of existence."

Extraphysicalism

Extraphysicalism, also Metaphysicalism, is a philosophical stance that holds that reality is extraphysical and that all physical and material is dependent of the extraphysical and extramaterial and vice-versa. Extraphysicalism also supports that there are extraphysical components in reality and in how reality works but it's hard or even impossible to be physically determined or proved. Extraphysicalism also states that there are things and life beyond the spacetime as well as the existence of extraphysical life, extraphysical worlds and extraphysical dimensions.

Extraphysicalism holds that reality is extraphysical and all matter and physics are related to the extramatter and extraphysics.

Extraphysicalism

A philosophical position holding that reality extends beyond the physical—that there are dimensions, realms, or aspects of existence that cannot be reduced to or explained by physics alone. Unlike supernaturalism (which often implies intervention from outside), Extraphysicalism suggests that these non-physical aspects are part of reality, continuous with it, just operating at different levels or in different modes. Consciousness, meaning, mathematical truth, and possibly other phenomena may be extraphysical: real, causal, and not reducible to particles and forces. Extraphysicalism doesn't deny physics—it insists physics isn't the whole story.

"You keep saying everything is physical, but consciousness still resists physical explanation. Extraphysicalism says: maybe that's because it's extraphysical—real, causal, but not reducible to neurons. Not supernatural, not magical, just not captured by physics alone. The universe is bigger than your ontology."

Neutral Extraphysicalism

Neutral Extraphysicalism is an extraphysicalist philosophy, derived from extraphysical monism, where there’s no dichotomy between physics and extraphysics and both are the same thing, and believing the fundamental nature of reality to be neither extraphysical nor physical; in other words it is "neutral". Neutral Extraphysicalism believes that both extraphysical and physical are made by a neutral substance that is part of the whole physics, extraphysics and existence. Neutral Extraphysicalism is often considered the most common position of extraphysical monism, being classical extraphysical monism supporter that extraphysics and physics are equal and made of the same substance while neutral extraphysicalism supports that the neutral substance that composes physics and extraphysics is what makes physics and extraphysics being equal to each other.

“Neutral Extraphysicalism is really useful for extraphysical monism and to show how extraphysical monism can actually be right and make extraphysicalism and extraphysics to survive to all it’s attempts to disapprove it and even show it’s wrong, futhermore, extraphysicalism and extraphysics are still open questions that we can explore it in the future.”

Atheist Extraphysicalism

Atheist Extraphysicalism, sometimes Rational Extraphysicalism, Skeptical Extraphysicalism and Logical Extraphysicalism, is an extraphysicalist philosophy that supports everything is extraphysical, extraphysics play an important role in physics and physics are part of extraphysics and vice-versa. But, different from classical extraphysicalism, atheist extraphysicalism believes that extraphysical beings are no far different from humans, even being in a high level of being, and shouldn't be treated as gods or as superior than humans, but equal to what humans are despite being in a high level of being and existence. Atheist extraphysicalism also seeks the development of a skeptical, logical and rational approach on extraphysics but do not denying its existence, but trying to understand it as a part of the existence humans still cannot understand completely and elaborate rational and logical hypothesis about extraphysics as well, also supporting that it's literally impossible to seek for natural (scientific) evidences for extraphysics, needing the development of epistemologies and technologies only for extraphysical purposes. Also supporting the development of extraphysical mechanics in the same way that quantum mechanics and classical mechanics were developed.

"Atheist extraphysicalism is an interesting approach on extraphysics, it might be really good in order to make extraphysics more acceptable for the academia and even got recognition by the scientific consensus, and finally slove all the problems about the experiences related to spirituality and extraphysics themselves."

Spiritual Extraphysicalism

Spiritual Extraphysicalism is a term used to refer to the opposite of spiritual physicalism, where there's some support or full support to extraphysicalist, extramaterialist, post-positivist and spiritualist views of the world, reality, religion and spirituality. Spiritual Extraphysicalism often seeks to explain all spiritual experiences such as Astral Projection and Mediumship by extraphysicalism means and excludes any possibility of only matter and only physics to actually exist but the existence of things beyond matter and physics that would be called as extramatter and extraphysics. Spiritual extraphysicalism also supports the development of an extraphysical based spirituality and the completely rejection of spiritual physicalism and its material reductionism about spiritual and religious experiences and phenomena.

"Spiritual extraphysicalism is the opposite of spiritual physicalism, that's the why there's a division between spiritual communities online purely because of the physicalist-extraphysicalist issue. But it's purely a matter of hegemony and even of spiritual pluralism as well."

Pragmatic Extraphysicalism

Pragmatic Extraphysicalism, also Extraphysical Pragmatism, is an extraphysicalist philosophy that focus more on the practical actions and consequences of extraphysics than in the concepts or theories about that. Pragmatic Extraphdicalism believes that practical actions and the consequences of extraphysics are the best way to know about extraphysics and are the best source of extraphysicalist philosophy often rejecting the idea that extraphysics and extraphysicalism should be only theorized and imagined and not much focused on the practical part of extraphysics.

"Pragmatic Extraphysicalism is really common among people who practice Astral Projection and have spiritual experiences who have more extraphysicalist-like views than simple physicalist or materialist views of spiritual experiences."
