With much tension in the world today which leads to serious stress and mental disease, many people are vainly looking for some efficient ways to reach spirituality and avoid unhealthy effects. Here, I introduce to you a free and easy way to it and wish you to successfully practice it, then give your feedback to encourage others.
My Master (and your Master if you accepted Him) says:
"The meditative faculty is akin to the mirror; if you put it before earthly objects it will reflect them. Therefore if the spirit of man is contemplating earthly subjects he will be informed of these.
But if you turn the mirror of your spirits heavenwards, the heavenly constellations and the rays of the Sun of Reality will be reflected in your hearts, and the virtues of the Kingdom will be obtained.
Therefore let us keep this faculty rightly directed -- turning it to the heavenly Sun and not to earthly objects -- so that we may discover the secrets of the Kingdom...
(Abdu'l-Baha, Paris Talks, p. 175

Your best bet is to reject "spirituality" and other forms of supernaturalism in their entirety.
And it's worth noting that the quote you provide is essentially meaningless. It's just a giant metaphor that provides no clear connection to reality (which is what good metaphors do; they connect to something else).

Accepting Jesus as Lord is a HUGE step towards salvation. Bear in a mind a person can be spiritual and still not get saved.

I think any person first has to accept reality before achieving enlightenment and reach spirituality.

A spirituality that is easily obtained is a spirituality not worth having.

Isn't it amazing that people are seeking to become spiritual and seeking the supernatural are seeking after God.
