On a gut level, I think all substance is teleologically tied to one or more kinds of consciousness.

I infer that there are substances that I will never observe but some other conscious being has or will. And I imagine that God observes all, but maybe even he enjoys the occasional emergent surprise. If any of that fits with what you mean by "spiritual substance," then yes.
But not in any animist sense. I don't believe that souls exist as a special substance, for instance. I am just one of many examples of awesome physical programming.

Do you think there's some kind of spiritual substance in the universe?

But merely positing a soul (as a spiritual substance) doesn't actually explain anything.

I think there is definitely a spiritual force that underlies the unity of all things

Not the way I'd put it, as jh notes, but unquestionably.

The material universe precludes a purely natural cause.

That makes it more complex, but I agree the same basic problem persists.
