What is metaphysical Bible interpretation?

The word “metaphysical” dates to Aristotle in about 500 BCE as he described a power that operated beyond the physical senses. It literally means “above the physical.” When Unity interprets the Bible metaphysically, it is not a literal interpretation but one in which we seek the higher meaning of names and events so that we can relate the Bible to our own spiritual journey.
