Wtf does that mean? I was always under the impression that spiritual was some kind of voodoo Mumbai jumbo or some hippy praying in a secluded field.. So, has anyone got a better version of what one means, when they say that they are spiritual?

Say no to drugs.
It is different for different people I guess.
For some people they would associate it with organised religion.
For others it is believing that there is more to the world than human beings.

i use definition #1. i don't adhere to any specific religion, especially St. dogma... while i think religions can help some folks become more spiritual..it's not a guarantee, and it's certainly not necessary. but if it works for some, great!. self reflection, and becoming the observer can too.
