Well don't call it spiritual then.
Whatever next? Murder but not in the murdering sense? I tickle your feet until you laugh, I haven't murdered you but it's murder? I'd just call it tickling you.
I do get what you are trying to say, so there is no point going over it again. Just I have major, major problems with the word spiritual in the context you are using it. Sam Harris and the like need to come up with a different word, like humanist or something.

"A need"? It seems that you are looking for something. Why would there be anything to find?
This connectedness to a greater whole or whatever is a concept that requires faith and belief it actually exists. Next stop deism.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
