mystical knowledge
Secret spiritual understanding
Mystical knowledge is understanding believed to come through direct spiritual experience rather than reason or study.
It implies insight into ultimate reality, divine truth, or hidden meanings inaccessible through ordinary perception: The hermit claimed mystical knowledge of the universe's workings.
The phrase often carries skepticism about whether such knowledge exists or can be communicated.
