Many of us are stuck in a set way of thinking and perceiving, most of which stems from our upbringing as well as what we are fed from the propaganda media machines. Because of this we will often find it difficult to break free from our preconceptions which blocks our comprehension of seeing anything other than what we think we know and/or that differ from what we are used to.
For instance, when one speaks of such things as the occult sciences, hermetics, alchemy, magick, metaphysics, etc., we automatically put up a barrier and presume that these are traditions that are filled with "evil" or "satanic worship" etc., or they think that those who are involved in such practices do not know of or acknowledge a higher power.
When one begins to think differently from the so-called "norm" or begins to read books on things that are labeled as taboo such as occult sciences, etc, they are ridiculed or even victimised. Regardless of what we were taught or programmed as children from our parents and society, as we get older, we are given choices to become Christian, Muslim, or whatever is laid out there for us to choose from in terms of following a religious or spiritual path. However, in order for one to raise their conscious awareness to a much higher level, one has to think outside these boxes until you get to that level where you realise that there is NO box. In reality, that choice for raising one's awareness ultimately comes from deep within.
Much thanks to the Light of Brother MetaSaience who gives an excellent explanation and somewhat of a definition of the meaning of what metaphysics is, inspiring us to a state of consciousness that will help us to open up to a new paradigm of thinking that encourages spiritual aspirants to delve deeper into the real Self - the center of Absolute Being and the Source of Primordial Wisdom.
Love, Peace!
'N-Joy!
