KHTK Postulate M-6: Physics is the study of form. Metaphysics is the study of the underlying essence, or spirit.
Awareness consists of perception/knowledge interchange. It is conscious of itself as light.
The domain of Physics consists of the forms of perception starting with light. The ultimate in form is the body that serves as the vehicle for perception.
The domain of Metaphysics consists of the essence of knowledge starting with consciousness. The ultimate in essence (spirit) is the self that serves as the vehicle for knowledge.

KHTK Postulate M-7: Increase in disturbance levels make finite forms emerge out of primordial light.
Awareness comes about because of the desire to know. As this desire gets stronger the disturbance levels increase, and the perception/knowledge conversions occur at a greater frequency. The wave-length shrinks and becomes finite and periodic. Thus forms come about that have boundaries. There appears a sense of finite against an indescribable background.
As forms emerge from the primordial light, awareness acquires the distinction of who, what, where and when. This awareness is distributed among these forms. Thus, comes about knowledge of forms as beliefs.
All these forms and beliefs emerge from primordial light, so they are all connected and cross indexed in a consistent and coherent manner within the same consciousness.
.
KHTK Postulate M-8: Dimensions then emerge to describe the finite characteristics of these forms.
Space and Time are the primary dimensions that emerge with the finite forms. They provide the characteristics of extension and duration, against a background that has neither of these characteristics. More complex characteristics, such as, density and temperature, come about as disturbance levels increase.
It is to be understood that the primordial background is indescribable. It has neither extension nor duration because there is neither space nor time at that level. It would be an error to visualize primordial light as having infinite extension.
Furthermore, the disturbance levels may be identified as a dimension that is basic to even space and time. We may describe it as the dimension of abstraction that becomes increasingly concrete with growing disturbance.
.
KHTK Postulate M-9: Basic level of knowledge consists of the direct perception of forms.
As disturbance levels increase, the primary forms interact with each other to generate more complex forms. Thus come about an infinite variety and diversity of forms. The forms of houses, trees, roads, business, people, etc., come together through extension in space to generate a complex city. Similarly, the forms of musical notes may come together through sequencing in time to generate a beautiful melody.
Essentially, knowledge is anything that is perceived. Direct perception provides the basic level of knowledge. More complex levels are generated through association among what is perceived, and projection from what is known.
.
KHTK Postulate M-10: As knowledge is associated and projected, direct perception condenses into experience, information, hypothesis, theory, principles, and axioms.
As knowledge is generated with increasing disturbance levels, it is cross-indexed through association and projection. Common elements are perceived and recognized as such. Thus organization and simplification of perception comes about in the form of experience, information, hypothesis, theory, principles, and axioms. Consistency and coherency is the key to the organization and simplification of overall knowledge.
There is overall self-awareness, but the individual forms are also self-aware. The self-awareness of individual forms add up to the self-awareness of more complex forms.
