Can you be "spiritual" without a God?

The believer claims:

But without “God”… there is no spirituality.

Spirituality brings to the human mind a higher sense (feeling) of purpose and meaning. And only through spirituality can you reach this higher human “value”. This is deceptive.

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… (without the belief in a “God”).

What is the feeling of spirituality? It is as if, beyond the five (substance) senses of the body, the mind expands itself into an (essence) sense, a sixth sense, as it often referred. This sense expand our mind’s consciousness into the unseen. It becomes a super or hyper sense. It allows our thoughts not only to sense the Eternal and the Infinite but to also affect the not yet created.

It gives us that sensation of being “more”.
Of creating ourselves beyond our present condition. And of affecting our tomorrow.

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.
