Spirituality would generally be defined as other-dimensional spirit that inhabits the physical world, imbuing it with Consequence in and of itself, said to be of consciousness and intelligence. The individual may believe they live within a living unified organism, that may communicate with them, and in which they can communicate in return.

Symbolic Logic:
The logic of Conservative Spirituality is Foundation Reasoning, meaning that evidence proceeds conclusions.
Lightning hits tree and tree splits open. The conclusion is lightning caused the split. But what caused the lightning? The science of the causes of lightning may be unknown or may be unimportant, since the science of it reduces the phenomenon to mechanics, impersonal, meaningless, nihilism.The basis of Symbolic Logic is that the natural world is intelligent, and that this intelligence is communicative. The would-be communication is non-verbal, and thus if existent may be symbolic.
The particular lightening strike may or may not be a form of communication. Whether any particular instance in reality is communication or not doesn't matter.The import is that the environment is considered alive and intelligent and not dead and dumb. Symbolic logic is the interpretation of any given event in reality as symbolic spiritual communication.
Internal Authority:
In the Conservative System, the authority for thinking, speaking, action or activity and behavior of the individual is said to be internal to the self called Internal Authority.
