Theology and spirituality are mutually exclusive, 
theology being the product of the Left Hemisphere, 
and spirituality being the steady state of the Right Hemisphere.

Theology is thinking/logically/reasonably knowing, 
and spirituality being seeing/hearing/realizing/grasping/comprehending/understanding/etc. knowing. 

Theology’s knowing is content with knowing, 
spirituality’s knowing must express/exhibit/reveal/etc. itself in doing—the right thing in the right way at the right time in the right place. 

And it doesn’t have to think what is right, 
it knows what is right, spontaneously, intuitively, telepathically/etc. 

And with spiritually, what is right here/now, 
may not be right then/there, 
and so Jesus could say, 
“The spirit is like the wind 
that blows where it will,” 
meaning the spirit doesn’t know 
what it is going to do next, 
and may not know what it is doing now, 
in a “Don’t let the left hand know what the right hand is doing” kind of way 
(And the only way we can do that 
is to not know what we are doing 
(from the Left Brain’s standpoint).

We are the balancing agent 
between our brain's hemispheres,
which represent different ways
of perceiving/responding to
apparent reality,
and our place is to bring awareness/mindfulness
to play
in choosing how to see/respond to
what we perceive in each moment
of every situation as it arises.

We have to see our seeing
and think about our thinking
all of the time.
