Can you be "spiritual" without a God?

The believer claims:

But without a “God”… there can be no be spirituality.

Spirituality brings to the human mind a sense (a feeling) of higher purpose and higher meaning. And that a God” based spirituality is the path to this higher human “value”. This is deceptive. And false.

As there is no such “God” , the human mind is led to seek and wander on a nonexistent (imaginary) path. Therefore fulfillment is never attained.

All that exists – including human beings - are formed by (and within) nature. Therefore all senses, all feelings, are of a natural construct. And the feeling of being “more”, of touching “higher” is – by natural formation – included and available to all.

What is spirituality? Beyond the five senses of the body (substance), the mind expands itself into an (essence) sense, a sixth sense, as it is often named. This sixth sense expand our mind’s consciousness into the unseen. It sends a light from within to “above”.

The sixth sense is a super or hyper sense that goes even further. It allows our thoughts not only to sense the Eternal and the Infinite but to also affect the not yet created. Of creating ourselves beyond our present condition. And of affecting our tomorrow. It gives us that sensation of being “more”.

The sixth sense presents itself as a “frame of mind”, a “state of consciousness”. The consciousness that all in the universe touches, is part, has contact, with all… that all is One. All forms are part of that – all/ One – consciousness. And by thought, we are in contact with all forms.
