@fmf saidNot complying with my own OP here, but, dating well back into my years of faith in the 70s, 80s and 90s, I still have a deep love of the religious music of Estonian composer Arvo Pärt. Even to this day, I find his choral works to be almost unutterably "holy" and spiritual.
Aside from religious texts, and perhaps also excluding religious music ~ ~
@fmf saidSorry to say I am unfamiliar with the music of Estonian composer Arvo Pärt.

Perhaps if I were I could speak more relevantly to your experience.
But yet I wish I could convey my own experience of the relationship I have with Jesus to whomever might hear it.
This is where it gets supernatural.

@fmf saidOh music, definitely. Can anyone listen to Beethoven's 9th and not wonder?
Aside from religious texts, and perhaps also excluding religious music ~ and without worrying too much about how our definitions of the term spiritual might differ ~ what branches of the arts do you find most "spiritually uplifting" [or affecting or moving or likely to make you contemplative about the human condition]? Painting, Sculpture, Literature (fiction or poetry), Cinema, Music (which kinds), Theatre, Dance or whatever other branches of the arts I may have omitted.
Arvo Pärt has written some beautiful music.
