Be it some writing deficiency on your part and/or some comprehension deficiency on my part - Your message comes of as mumbo-jumbo to me. To me, the core point is uncertain.
  1. The spiritual created the natural, and thus, the natural is grounded in the spiritual.
  2. The spiritual and the natural are not in contradiction with one another.
  3. The spiritual is the source of the natural.
  4. The spiritual governs the natural.
  5. The natural has been corrupted.
First of all, the 1st and 3rd items seem to be redundant. Perhaps also the 1st and the 4th.
Anyway, perhaps should explain a little of what you mean by each of those items?
Also, I'm curious about your thoughts of the relation between the concept of religion and the concept of spirituality. Are they one and the same, or are they different from each other?

Pre-promotion comments - NOT as good way to start a topic, but...
I do NOT find this proposed new topic (PNT) to be up to desired standards.
I find message 1 to be gibberish, and subsequent messages did little to nothing to clarify things. I, however, don't see further admin efforts as being likely to improve things.
3 options:
1) Reject.
2) Release to "Free For All" forum.
3) Release to "Faith and Belief" forum.
I'm tempted to go the "FFA" route, but I don't want to release this topic from moderation possibilities. Thus, it's going to "FAB".
