A good definition of spirituality might be: the way in which you’re sensitive to unsystematized realities.

So to be unspiritual is to be *only* sensitive to systematized realities. This is an alt-definition of “clueless.”

A key mistake is to conflate unsystematized with pre-systematic. The original sin of high modernism is to see the unsystematized as only a starting point of a singular future system. The un-pre gap is where illegibility lives. If you can’t sense the gap, you’re locally clueless.

Contempt is when you can sense the gap but are indifferent to it.
Hostility is when you can sense it but feel a reactionary urge to reject it. You’re angry because you wish you were clueless enough to not respond to it.

I’d say intuition is instrumentalized spirituality. It senses through a lens of actionability. Fingerspitzengehful.

The first word for "sensitivity to unsystematised realities" that comes to my mind is 'intuition', not 'spirituality' - an intuitive person is in touch with unsystematised realities. This may overlap with spirituality in the population but doesn't seem like the same thing. WDYT?

In my experience the realm of the spirit and that which i define as “spirituality” is the primary origin of all systematisation and is conversely the absolute divine system; the supreme order.
That which all man made systems attempt to emulate yet always fall short of.

Hmm. “Thinner” doesn’t resonate. In fact I think “thicker” gets at it better for ne. You see flesh and bones where others see only bones.

I see religion as a way to systematize illegible realities. But then spirituality can be an unsystematized way of making sense of them
Anyway better than negating illegible realities
