What makes something spiritually significant or not?

I'm wondering if there is an answer other than "because I decided it was".

What creates the feeling of spirituality? And how do we tell if it's significant, as opposed to simply being a cool experience?

How do we tell if there is synchronicity behind coincidence? Or is life completely random, with no significance to anything?

    An experience that suddenly dumps a crapload of insight into your brain that alters how you see the world. You won't get that from an awesome pair of shoes or something. People tend to to have those helping people, or coming together and fixing a big problem that affects people, or seeing a preconception unravel, or having a mushroom trip.

    Our soul/spirit does not have any dualities. Spirituality is that which is of the spirit. It is about Oneness - seeing everyone and everything as god.

    “Our soul is a single unit of consciousness that stems from the creator’s consciousness. This is known as “Infinite consciousness.” All units of consciousness are interconnected to all other types of consciousness. Everything that exists is called the “Creator” (also known as the Source). Infinite consciousness is the universal energy that exists everywhere or “All that is.”

    Each one of us was given a divine mission – go away and explore ourselves. Learn, grow, and understand everything that has been created and eventually rejoin the Creator after having learnt everything that is infinitely possible to experience and having acquired the highest understanding of creation itself or “All that is.” Your path of evolution is unique to you, but you are not separate from other souls, rather your individuality is your unique story and journey to understand creation.

    Your mission is achieved by ascending your individual consciousness through each of the dimensions within the universe. To begin your mission, you had to experience a variety of intense “third density” (i.e. the physical universe) lessons on Earth, including selfishness, pain, poverty, love, anger, etc. Earth is a planet to begin evolving your consciousness at the infant level, until you consciously realize this illusion and choose to stop experiencing these dense lessons and decide to continue your spiritual growth beyond this dimension.”
