Jung pinpoint that there are elements of our psyche that are out of our control. A driving force that influences our decisions. Now, here’s where spirituality comes in, what are these mysterious elements? Are they simply biological drives built into our DNA? 
Deep-rooted conditioned pathways in our brain? Or is there something greater?
Of course there is. Ça va sans dire.
The importance of spirituality is that its focus is beyond the material dimension. When one looks beyond the material, one realises that the concept of who we are

"Though It seems that I know that I know, What I would like to see Is the ‘I’ that knows ‘me’ When I know that I know that I know." A. Watts
What makes us feel spiritual then? It could be the quieting of a small area in our brains.

The area in question, the right parietal lobe, is responsible for defining "Me," according to Brick Johnstone of Missouri University. It generates self-criticism and guides us through physical and social terrains by constantly updating our self-knowledge.
People with less active Me-Definers are more likely to lead spiritual lives. His research pinpoints a less functional right parietal lobe, which may translate psychologically as decreased self-awareness. The greatest silencing of the Me-Definer likely happens in the deepest
states of meditation or prayer, when practitioners describe feeling seamless with the entire universe. That is, the highest point of spiritual experience occurs when "Me" completely loses its definition. If one looks into the main religious systems and spiritual philosophies,
selflessness is paramount in their teachings.Think of the uni-verse as a cosmic ocean of Consciousness. Each and every one of us, still connected to the Source, on the deepest level of our psyche, is a wave of this ocean, and the ocean is in every single wave, eternally flowing
