Role in the map
Metaphysics serves as a broad invitation to ask what reality is made of and how consciousness fits into it. The poster uses that invitation to gather spiritual and extraordinary claims under one exploratory heading. Academic metaphysics is much wider and does not automatically endorse those claims. Its inclusion makes fundamental questioning part of awakening, without giving every proposed answer the status of philosophical knowledge.
A contextual role, without a separately established esoteric meaning.
