Could a conflict exist between being "intellectually aware" and looking for "spiritual direction"?
"Religion" is man made but a relationship with a higher being, to some known as God, can solve that internal conflict. Communion to worship and have fellowship (known as "church") with other like-minded people that share a common faith (where intelligent awareness and spiritual direction meet) is a vital part of spiritual existence in which "church" cannot be irrelevant.
Advice to OP, keep seeking and find the church in The Villages area that aligns with your beliefs and speaks to you.
