The issue is with the lack of maturity of imbalanced individuals exposing themselves to such material, often to reinforce those same patterns of being. This isn't a phenomenon exclusive to 'Metaphysical' material, but to all belief systems and reality frameworks, though there seems to be a higher concentration towards the former due to a predisposition towards escapist/fantasist thought.
You have to be ok with not knowing, and this is a block for many, in order to move forward. See the material as one perspective rather than concrete, with each perspective creating a more coherent and balanced picture as it is built upon, being reworked (Or removed totally) as necessary/experience arises. It is obvious and should go without saying that there are certain heavily veiled concepts, as was the case with the early undistorted Abrahamic religion with the metaphors and allegories.
In all honesty it matters very little and the crux of the issue is another method of bypassing. The only truly relevant aspects of any such material are it's practical applications, and how it can be leveraged to provide a more desirable experience. That to me is the true test of any such framework. Not how fancy the verbiage is, or how fantastical and wonderful sounding the concepts are, but whether it can stand upto scrutiny when applied in every day experience in a practical manner.
