Metaphysical Change

In the Metaphysical universe, minds are like automobiles.

We can move ourselves, and this auto-mobility is called the Will. A decision (force) causes a metaphysical change. Debate (collision) with others may cause a change in position and motion depending on our experience or knowledge (mass), conviction (velocity), and viewpoint (direction). Internal resistance to change (friction) slows our progress. Knowledge (mass) can increase with age. Resistance to change (friction) is almost certain to. This is why we must establish a strong conviction (velocity) and positive viewpoint (direction) at the beginning of our lives.

1. Habits (Inertia) are a combination of conviction (velocity) and viewpoint (direction).
2. Decision (Force) = experience (mass) x change (acceleration) - A certain decision causes an acceleration that is dependent on your previous experience.
3. Acceleration = change in conviction over a time period (dv/dt)

Friction

Decisions (forces) have a limited long-term effect because of internal and external resistance to change (friction). Decisions that result in a lasting change in habit (inertia) are not made instantaneously. Some decisions don't have any noticeable change in our convictions (velocity) because of our current experience (mass) and the strength of our convictions (current velocity). In order to really change, the decision (force) must be a continuous one over time, to counteract friction, requiring a continuous input of energy.

Habits

Decisions (forces) change habits (inertia) incrementally. This is why a habit (current velocity and direction or inertia) is hard to change. Every decision we make (force we exert) changes our conviction (velocity) in a certain direction, but if we have an initial strong conviction in a certain direction, it may take alot of energy to change applied over time. Instantaneous change would require infinite energy.
