I also cannot believe that "actualizing" Islam in your life makes you "spiritually high'.
I'm not sure what others mean when they say spiritually "high" but I've always understood it to be basically increased himma (spiritual resolve) that is you feel as though you want to strive more to become close to Allah, praying more, fasting more, doing more dhikr, improving your character..

It's like if you're at college and you go to a study group and you haven't been coming up as much as you should be and see how everyone knows their stuff so well and you're like "dang, I want to be that smart" so you go home and study and try your best to get it right. Naw mean?
