It doesn't, exactly.

The mind isn't black and white, nor are feelings. So we use lots of imprecise language to talk about them. This is only a problem if you want to fit subjective feeling-shaped blocks into objective science-shaped holes. Don't believe me? Suggest another word that better encapsulates the experiences that are usually referred to as spiritual. Harris can't, and I don't think you or I can, either.

I fail to see how using imprecise language will help to understand anything.
