The term "spiritual" is very loosely used nowadays. It includes in its domain, but is not limited to, certain states of mystical consciousness, certain religious mental experiences, high moral attitudes, and non-worldly emotional reactions. Thus, one man may be called "highly spiritual" although he may not have had any mystical experience, when what is meant is that he is "highly moral."
