People in our society usually think of spirituality as something from a long time ago, like a religion or even a primitive time. A lot of violence. In our time, which is driven by intelligence and analysis, spirituality doesn't fit with how the world is broken up and how each scientist represents it.
The world is studied by all sciences, but quantitative sciences mostly study natural and physical events. A biologist looks for answers about how man was created in his body, while a physicist looks for answers about a certain area. The humanities study some aspects of human life. People no longer like the idea of a complicated world.
Two very powerful ways that humans can connect with the outside world, or the non-self, are analytical intelligence (found in quantitative sciences like math, physics, astrophysics, finance, law, etc.) and spirituality, which embraces and totalizes wholes that can't be analysed. The world is a deep experience of mind and spirit that can't be broken down spiritually.
People who suffer but don't say they want spirituality are first and foremost consciousnesses that feel deprived of the world as a whole because they have only experienced a small piece of reality, a small part of this great Whole that can't satisfy their deep-seated need for spirituality and meaning. It's not about ignoring the analytical advances of science; it's about the decline of its complementary side.
The ellipsis in spirituality includes the whole world, and this lack is felt on the inside as a basic need that can't be met by science. The way we see our society now makes people fight against being human, without ever reclaiming what makes their mind capable of rising to higher levels.
Because of these few things, we need to bring back man's spirituality so he can separate himself from himself and have more ultimate, important, and profound experiences, engaging his interiority beyond the immediate experience in some parts of scientific, social, economic, historical, and political reality.
This forced and unwelcome removal of spirituality, which is a synthetic view of the mind, in the analytical sciences' push for progress has caused deep existential pain: the 20th century's focus on scientific progress led to fundamental chaos in the 21st, but those who want to fix existential-humanist psychology's narrow view haven't noticed this.
