    Oh, ok. I still think we might be able to measure such things in the future, but that’s a much more defensible position. I don’t see how that pertains to spiritualism tho, maybe there’s a term that fits that better. Belief in qualia?

      I’m not really talking about belief so much as the fact that people need nourishment in unmeasurable ways: love, wonder, etc. I don’t think it makes sense to exclude that from spirituality. I have found that ‘spirituality = supernatural’ is unnecessarily reductive.

      But, at the end of the day it’s just individual perspective as to what constitutes the spiritual.
