Alright then, say you have someone that has thrown the shackles of modern society. No phone or anything so advanced and in exchanged lived out his life in nature chopping wood and living through the seasons until they become a real outdoorsman. That would translate as a connection to nature. 

With a priest (and I'm talking devout priest) goes through his life believing in the commandments and hoping to join god in his kingdom then he has lived his entire life in faith. That would then translate here to a connection with the divine. 

Make sense?
