>Also very interesting. To clarify, I am not interested in "the powers" per se, it's just that the faculties for spiritual awareness are, in my eyes, the mark that you have achieved and actualised true knowledge.

Not necessarily but it CAN be used for that, let us consider the decadent literature, if we read huysmans he at some point very much summarizes what the decadent is, to paraphrase he says it is the end of the time period, when all has become ornate and memories of the past have rotten, that it is like a pool of memories and upon it foams the white of melancholy, decay and nostalgia. This is none other than the goddess Dhumavati and cultivation of this extreme can be used, if you perceive God in it and his emptiness in it. All things become purified by the fire of knowledge. All Art can be used if you can purify it by knowledge and consideration of God, devotion to God.

Check out some Richard Wagner and this path of aesthetic/art is going to be less one of coomsooming, and more of creation of art, and if not creating it must be of the highest caliber, the highest refinement. To quote Wagner, the true man is a nature made conscious of itself, and the true art is man made conscious of itself. This is why I point to someone like William Blake so much.
