Are you believing something outside of reality, or are you just thinking about reality in a different way? That's what I think Taoism does.
Believing that there is something outside of, or greater than, reality which you can attune to. That's always how I viewed spirituality. Thinking of reality in a different way sounds closer to perspective, rather than spirituality.
Maybe I'm conflating spirituality with the supernatural?
