Answer 1

Depends on what you mean by spirituality.

When you strip out all the mystical BS people invent -- religions, metaphysics, etc - what is left are the natural psychological needs that evolved within us over thousands of years: The need to connect with nature and with other people. Do something to save endangered species, cultivate a garden, give to the poor, and you will enhance your "spiritual" well-being.

Answer 2

Well, even atheistic Buddhists have a metaphysics. I think metaphysics is a must, because that is what gives the transcendence or greater meaning that makes spirituality possible. Even an appreciation for beauty, in the way Dawkins claims, is metaphysical and teleological.

Answer 3

Humanity

Answer 4

Ultimately, spirituality means transcendence of the usual boundaries of the self.

This means moving beyond ones own sentience to recognise and "feel with" the sentience of others.

Another word for "feeling with" is "compassion".

The rest, as a first century sage said, is commentary.

MHO

Answer 6

The realization that words have power?

Ideas, thoughts, and suggestions tend to materialize over time?

For example:

Happiness, health, love, money, prosperity, and success create different images than the word vinegar.

Yes, I can do it.

Wonderful.

Better, year by year.
