injunjane"For me, when I say spiritual, I'm referring to a feeling you would have that connects you to the universe in a way that it may defy simple vocabulary. We think about the universe as an intellectual playground, which it surely is, but the moment you learn something that touches an emotion rather than just something intellectual, I would call that a spiritual encounter with the universe."

This largely sums up my out-of-scientific-point-of-view experience with the surrounding world. Largely, but probably not completely so - I believe not all our perceptional channels process logical information or emotions, a large residual portion of the info acquired from the outer world cannot be attributed to these two.
I can say a large part of the connection to the Multiverse I sense is emotional, but there is something for which I do not have words and it's like spaces between bits which are lost in an analogous audio after it's converted to digital form. Or what is lost in .raw after it's converted to .jpeg
I wouldn't call it 'spiritual' though, the word I use is 'intuitive'.
