I don't know about "spiritual", but sometimes I reflect on my own existence, the fact that I did not exist billions of years before I was born, and it took an unbroken sequence of events in order to bring me into existence, and I feel connected to the Universe as a result of that. Just the fact that I have a brain consisting of billions of neurons, that is constantly processing information about the Universe, that can create ideas, is amazing to me. Oh, and simply the size of the Universe, the billions of galaxies that exist and the number of civilizations that probably exist- that can keep me occupied for quite a while.
Hubski reflects much on the evo-anthropological. For more of that, follow theadvancedapes.
