Supernatural Necessity

I was a bit lost when I was asked what Supernatural Necessity meant. In one aspect, I new it had to do with the need for something just to have and I was half right. It means something that must be, will happen , must be the case or just the way things are in a logical sense. I can really connect with this term because to my understanding, I was conditioned and it has been accepted in our society to feel this so it only seems right. Phillips argues that although this reality we live in has it's dialogue, we are already fixed in the nature of things. Phillips also suggests we examine every belief and assume, to just be critical. So, can we ever get loose of this reality? I think we can in some senses if we opened our heats and minds to the understandings of others.
