The "no spirituality" really resonates with me. I didn't believe in spirituality for a long time, in the same way I don't believe in the supernatural (Gods etc).
It was only recently that I realized that you can be spiritual and still have a more logical view of how the world works. The mind is a very powerful thing, and things like ritual and meditation can absolutely manifest things simply through its effect on our thoughts and behaviors.
For instance, lately I've been learning Tarot. Just a few years ago I would've thought Tarot is a complete waste of time, but it's actually an incredible way to explore problems from different perspectives and get a better sense for how you feel about things in a more abstract way.
