As a younger person I had a pretty materialist and nihilistic views on spirituality.
As I grew up life became a lot more "real" and paradoxically it made me do a complete 180 on the immaterial. This spiritual change of heart also made me do a lot more "real" material things like volunteering. I think that interaction between immaterial thoughts and beliefs turning into material actions is a key factor in understanding spirituality.

I agree. I have a had a similar journey in that sense. I am now looking for ways to give back every way I can and connect.

I agree. You could call it Karma Yoga - doing work without attaching to the results. It took me some maturing to start practicing that as well.
