Yes

go beyond conventional thinking. Following Ken Wilber, I see
spirituality as the higher end of cognitive development, something that
is supposed to take us beyond logic and rationality. So, yea, I'd say it
implies a higher order of intelligence, but its a natural, human
intelligence and not a seperate or supernatural being.

[Case]
I agree with the part about no separate intelligences and no
"supernatural" but rationality and logic are what take us out of the gooey
emotional, feeling talk that spirituality ulimately leads to. rationality
should not surplant emotion but when the two work in Harmony... ah, there
is that word again.
