To you it is, it may serve a different purpose to others. Regardless, whatever you see as spiritual truth is what you believe. Others may believe and experience something completely unrelated. That's because spiritual beliefs as well as experience is subjective. Wanting my beliefs to apply to everyone is fine, but really it's just a way for me to box the world into my own understanding. It's a comfortable, settled way of seeing things that allows a sense of security or control.
Interfaith is about interaction with different belief traditions in order to encourage understanding, not to combine beliefs.
