Man i love the way you think, finally i could have a meaningful conversation.
Well, to start with...being a spiritualist doesnt mean u r a monk who live in a temple, being a spiritualist ( at least from what i have researched and practiced over the years especially the true quran perspective to this thought) Is putting the soul in the center of your life, and the rest of ur life's aspects all around it (work, family, hobbies, well being, physical strength ..etc) the main stream spirituality take it to extremes that i didnt find convincing.
About religions and being religious, to be honest i havent looked into this in the bible yet, however in quran; allah warns to follow the collective mind, and asks people excplicitly not to follow whatever they inherited from their ancestors, you may tell me that it's not the case in today's muslims, and i have to agree, the majority of muslims now arent muslims because they BELIEVE it's right, but because it was the easiest way to lice since it is ready and came through their parents and so no need to think especially that the majority follows the same path so it cant be that all of them are wrong, and this the thing i try to educate people about, that for example we blieve in judgement day, and i ask them "what would you answer be if allah asked you how and why did you become muslim?" All of them give the same answer, that that we know quran is the words of allah and so islam must be right, then i go "how did you come to know that quran is the word of allah? Internt rubbish doesnt count, i want you authentic answer, your personal experience, not someone else's experience" then they shut me up.
So yeah, i totally agree with you, mainstream relgious path isnt satisfying for people with high consciousness, and for me i found the capacity in quran to give all the answers i search for and i challenge what i find day by day and i keep finding clues that the path i am on is correct.
And lastly, being a spiritualist doesnt mean that you will be emotions' driven person and that you had your logic and reason wiped out of the framework. It rather means that you just traveled inside yourself enough to know yourself, you are in a much better relationship with your soul, and that you know how to soom out whenever yoy face any curcumstance to face it with a calm still mind to react in a proper way.
Hooe i answered all of your points.
Again, it's one of few times that i finally meet someone with a great logic like yours who can talk and deliver his ideas this way. Really thanks bro
