[Platt}
I don't call this spiritual. 

[Case]
What would you call it then?

[Case earlier]
> I suggest that this feeling of the rightness or wrongness is spiritual.
It's power is a measure of the impact on the overall structure and all
subsequent verbalization is our attempt to make a purely subjective feeling
into something intersubjective that can be shared with others.

[Platt]
I don't call this spiritual. For me, spirit has nothing to do with
machinations of the mind. To experience spirit, my advice is look up at the
stars. 

[Case]
If it has nothing to do with the mind then what does it have to do with? If
I look to the stars I will have to use my senses which will register in my
brain triggering a whole series of interconnections, experiential, physical
and emotional. I am happy to call that spirit.
