Any time someone says they are spiritual, I assume that means they are searching for a perspective on life that is beyond that of one fully embodied human. I assume they are looking for intellectual conquest of feeling and emotion. I assume they believe there is an intellectually graspable answer to the question of a meaningful life which is external to themselves but to which they can adapt themselves. With any luck, it will just be a phase and they can return to being curious about who in particular they are and find satisfaction in that.
