knowledge is knowledge.
On the other hand you have a good definition of knowledge being knowledge about the
world around you and the universe we live in I.E. scientific knowledge. That has hypothesis
and it can be studied, tested, verified. Where as the former spiritual knowledge has none.
Like I have said before, we can have "knowledge" of the stories of others and the pretty ideas in them, but that isn't the same as knowing the world in a scientific sense. You are absolutely right, "spiritual knowledge" is simply mistaking what should be metaphor, and treating it as if it had real super natural powers.
I find kind ideas in Harry Potter and Charlotte's Web, but what I don't do is turn those works of fiction into a religion. Religion is pretending the kaleidoscope can replace a telescope.
