The basic definition that makes sense to me is receptivity, heart centered. Generally we're taught that is powerless.

Or the Kabala or Jungian archetypes or Kristevan psychoanalysis. I think biology, partic brains, underlies it all.

I think 'spiritual' is one of those terms which has a variety of meanings so I'm never quite clear what is meant by it.
