In a word: yes. In a bunch of words, everything you see, touch, hear, etc. seems to be outside of you. But all of those are experienced in your brain or, better said, in your consciousness. It looks like the computer monitor is outside of you, but your vision of it is in the visual cortex of your brain or what yogis call the 3rd eye.

So this entire universe is all contained in the universe of you experiencing. More than that, every living thing is contributing to the existence of the universe by how it experiences. Plants, insects, "dumb" animals and other humans are some of our collaborators.

By spiritual, some people mean "can't be understood". But that's only because they don't understand. This is not a realization that can be completed intellectually. It has to be experientially.

When you tune in to these things, not only will you see it with your own eyes (so to speak), you will also experience synchronicities. These seem to be such far-fetched coincidences that even while they're happening you are in awe and want to say "This just isn't possible!" They're sort of your own private miracles (though not always so private).

Check it out. It's awesome. Also it requires no belief of any kind. In fact, belief is a veil over your eyes that keeps you from seeing the spiritual.

Hope this helps and isn't just a rant to you..

Does not spirituality transcend the human experience, that experience being limited by our own limited sensory apparatus?

Yes I know, shouldn't answer a question with a question, but shouldn't this question be answered before posing another one?

YEs my friend. However maybe my definition of spiritual differs from yours but i think you got the right idea.

No, I have only ever been this. Stop this needlessly diverting, new age, ethereal nonsense.
