Can I Learn Chinese Metaphysics From Books?

Sure you can! But you will have to keep testing and testing and testing till it works. Find examples that work and refine from there. However, you will have to find the suitable Master to guide you, as you can see from the below paragraph.

Translation: There are no real applicable methods in books;
(As) the real secrets are taught verbally.
(Books) Teaches the theories, but not the methods of application
(Books) Teaches the methods of application, but not the secrets.
(Although) Fake theories and methods are taught by thousands of books;
(But) the real applicable methods only take a sentence.
(Alas!) Knowing the theories, but not the real secrets / applicable methods.
*Kenneth thanks Master Sanna for the poem above.
