The spirituality 'trend' really encompasses a wide array of writng however. It can be anywhere from sacred religious texts, to highly marketed new-age works like "The Secret", to drug use in relationship of self-exploration, to 2012 conspiracy. It's a broad subject that ideas from it can be borrowed in literature, just as romantic themes can be used in works that are not considered romance novels. Most things to be labeled as 'spirituality' are likely more a direct approach than symbolism through literature, though it all depends on personal preference on yr favorite method on how to extract that information
