...or do you simply accept that there is esoteric knowledge that doesn't really comply with any scientific scrutiny, but has a ton of doppy mystic imagery? (im down with the imagery of course) :)
Probably more of that.
It's sort of a catch-all category for all non-scientific, unfalsifiable claims.
It's the same as someone telling you they had a dream about some strange and personally significant place or thing.
It's certainly important to them, but nobody else can tell if their "revelation" is "true" for anyone other than themselves.
