I was wondering what your ideas are on how to begin a life of spirituality. I've always been interested in making more of myself in that realm of thought and being, but I don't know where to start, exactly.
All thoughts are welcome to this confused, would-be traveler.

The first step on the path of enlightenment is to understand yourself. You need to understand what motivates you. You need to understand and admit to your foibles and acknowledge those areas of your personality and beliefs that could do with some work.

First, I would not rely to heavily upon the wisdom of places like ATS.
You might try taking a couple jugs of water and wander off into a forest for a week of solitude.
When you come back, reflect upon your forest trip for a year or so and somewhere along the line you might notice that you have been on your way for a while.

Most certainly any dribble from my lips should be considered questionable. Especially as advice given generically is easily turned to dogmatic cliche.
However, I do think that your advice of considering the nature of any system of thought being "open" or "closed" is a valuable addition to anyone's early self development
