If you define spirituality as one's approach to life, but traditionally spiritually has been understood to mean one's approach to the divine.

Well logic is my approach to the divine. My logic informs me of what an incomprehensible experience I'm involved in and I'm awed by that.  For some it might be mathematics.  To each his own brother.  Be open to other ways of perceiving the divine. Tradition can keep one from progressing as much as it can inform.  :satansmoking:




Why do you need logic to inform you of what you are experiencing? Is it not possible to experience something without thinking about it?




It may be but then you could never ever talk about it or share it and that's pretty obvious to anyone who uses logic consciously.  Like I said before if you are going to make sense of any experience or share it you have to define it with logic and that's where the problem arises for many people. They subjectively interpret some experience according to their emotional needs and desires and then make claims as to it's validity. Their logic is faulty.

You used logic in the present tens: " My logic informs me of what an incomprehensible experience I'm involved in". I am saying, is it perhaps possible to experience something fully without thinking about the fact that you are experiencing it? That is not the same thing as thinking about it later on, so it would not prevent you from sharing it.

I do that all the time. Everyone does,  we don't think about everything our body/mind experiences.  And when you share it later you interpret that experience as I pointed out, with all the inherent emotional pitfalls therein.
