"I wouldn't so completely dismiss the idea that mere mortals could coordinate the downfall of morality and society, though."
I agree 100%. The size of the propaganda machine, it's extensive reach, sky-blackening ubiquitousness and total sway over normie modes of thought is on display like one thousand suns.
Her premise that this happened "instantly" and overnight is complete hogwash. Yuri Bezmenov would beg to differ with her across time from 1985 in an urgent manner.
The concept is interesting, however I consider it to be completely untouched in the rest of the article. The only talk of metaphysics contained in this piece is the word itself.
Maybe she should have used that word then. I know metaphysics is a hard definition to make but it goes somewhat along these lines:-
"Metaphysics is the branch of philosophy that studies the fundamental nature of reality; the first principles of being, identity and change, space and time, cause and effect, necessity and possibility.
Metaphysics is considered one of the four main branches of philosophy, along with epistemology, logic, and ethics. It includes questions about the nature of consciousness and the relationship between mind and matter, between substance and attribute, and between potentiality and actuality. "
It brushes up against it a bit. You could say the forces behind the satanic worldwide movement are influencing the "collective unconsciousness" of the masses, which translates physically into the radical change in physical reality
I've always considered "metaphysics" to be the agnostic/atheist/philosopher's way of analyzing our existence as conscience beings without acknowledging the divinity behind it. It allows the academic to keep the discussion non-theological while conveniently avoiding the question of why we exist. Of course, that question of "why" starts to become unavoidable when you get old or come to terms with your own mortality or become so depressed that you need a reason to get out of bed.
That sounds correct to me. Metaphysics is most definitely not the teachings of any organized religion.
They are not conveniently avoiding the question of why we exist, however.
Organized religions actually completely eschew these questions by shunting them all under the purview of God's will. Nothing on this Earth avoids questions and inconsistencies in narrative more than organized religions. Adherents can simply never think about these questions as they, and, everything else has been answered by their religious static, social and moral code.
Yes, there's a lot of shunting of that question in religious organizations, but there is still room for it to exist in the minds of many religious individuals. The number of essays and books written on it is a testament to that. I can't say that for the non-religious or non-deists. The question is one of purpose, and purpose originates from an intelligence, and acknowledging a higher intelligence is a non-starter for the non-religious. Almost every time they're asked, they will consistently say "It doesn't matter, we're just here."
I think you are on to something with "I've always considered "metaphysics" to be the agnostic/atheist/philosopher's way of analyzing our existence as conscience beings without acknowledging the divinity behind it."
Thankfully, that is not me, although I do consider myself to be "agnostic" in the sense that I consider "the ultimate truth to be unfathomable to the human mind"
"To understand the entire universe is like trying to measure the ocean with a teaspoon"
I solidly and completely believe in God, however, but I have arrived at this conclusion from my own direct experience. I feel that the conscious mind is an impediment to direct experience of this divinity. I feel the Bible, a static social and moral code, can never convey the grandeur, sheer scale, majesty and underlying love of this extraordinarily strange experiment we are ensconced in.
So philosophy is one of my guilty indulgences but it will always be a mental abstraction, a grim facsimile of the true state of things.
Just the same as an ant cannot view the entire Empire State Building so too the human mind, nor words on a page, can capture the infinite.
I must say though, I am very pleased my view of the universe is not the cold, largely lifeless and foreboding emptiness of the atheist.
She was a shining star on the left, so CV-19 was her introduction to total media control with waves of propaganda, and the depth of corruption of the Dem party.

I think by "metaphysical" she means "spiritual" a la ancient gods, demons, and the actual Creator

None of this was discussed in the article.

This is true, however it never mentions Jung and only talks about Christianity and Judaism.
