spiritual mind vs religious mind:
the religious mind serves God out of guilt; meaning you must do something to please God and not live according to 'the pleasing of the father. well what can possibly please the father without you having to do something by the law to please him.

your life in you is the pleasing of the father. the spiritual mind is the pleasing of the father because it is - you know what pleased the father. basically it is the same thing that has always pleased the father, which is 'Christ in you. the father that spoke in a audible voice and said 'this is my Son in whom I am well pleased'. the same Son in you making you a son as well is 'the pleasing of the father.

the religious mind cannot accept the things of God because it must do something to please God.

Simply put, spirituality has no rules, whereas religion is wholly based upon pre-established ritual and dogma. When someone is spiritual, they have a connection with themselves and life on a soul level, and ‘God’ isn’t an external force like in most religions.

Spirituality, if it has no God, has no life, they are just dead men walking and they don't even know it.

Proverbs 9:10 “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
