mystical interpretation
Spiritual meaning extraction
Mystical interpretation is a way of reading texts—especially religious scriptures—that looks beyond literal meaning to find hidden spiritual truths.
The approach assumes surface words conceal deeper realities accessible through contemplation or divine insight.
Kabbalists developed elaborate mystical interpretations of the Torah.
The phrase sometimes carries skepticism, implying meanings invented rather than discovered.
