I think Kava shares some enthneogenic, spiritual qualities for sure. Not to the same degree as cannabis, salvia, mushrooms, the like, but I have had great, life-changing insights while on Kava, been very wrapped up in deep in meaningful dance while listening to songs I like [I like fast-paced dance music loll] and often like to write my journal while on Kava to discern my life and see different trends, account for new things that may be happening. As comparison, deep insights do not happen on alcohol - at least not for me. No journal writing of any kind is happening on alcohol. Perhaps some dancing, though. Also, one time, after drinking a ton of Kava and eating a warm and fatty meal, I had a very intense uptick in the kava effects, which is common when I eat after having kava, but to the point where I was laid out on the couch having serious CEVs. No joke. No other substances. Drinking kava all day, ate a warm fatty meal, and must have had an enormous amount of kavalactones that were undigested pass through - resulting in a psychedelic like experience. Who knows, there may be some kavalactones that excert more of this effect than others.
