eisegesis
(en)
the process of interpreting a text or portion of text in such a way that the process introduces one's own presuppositions, agendas, or biases into and onto the text
This is, bluntly, eisegesis—it is reading-in, placing a message into the text that simply isn’t there with an overlay of mysticism to give you plausible deniability about what you’re doing.
