spiritual truths

Metaphysical religious wisdom

Spiritual truths are beliefs or insights considered fundamental to religious or metaphysical understanding—claims about the nature of existence, the soul, morality, or the divine that adherents regard as transcending material evidence.

The phrase implies wisdom deeper than empirical fact: She found spiritual truths in meditation that science couldn't provide.

What counts as spiritual truth varies enormously across traditions and individuals.
