i am he as you are he and we are all together.

ive been reading a lot about spirituality. i think it is a gap in my....i was going to say knowledge yet everything i have read says that ones spiritual side lies in a level of consciousness above thought. it is said that we are more than the some of our experiences and thoughts. that something higher exists behind that veil of constant thinking. that if one stops the incessant stream of thought, one can experience it. one can experience what is said to be a divine unity between everything in the cosmos. time is just an illusion created by the mind. here is a small piece of writing i have done in order to try and find a viewpoint based on scientific(ish) reasoning.

in order for our bodies to function we rely on a host of bacteria to perform many functions such as digestion and respiration. in every cell of our bodies we have mitochondria which produce the energy for that cell. These mitochondria have a separate DNA to every other cell in our body and are therefore believed to of been incorporated into our bodies sometime in the evolutionary time-scale.
Without these so called "external" or separate organisms, we would not be. and without our bodies they would not be. Therefore it follows that when we think of i as being a single entity, that is entirely incorrect. i actually consists of many different organisms, all working together in order to be. one could even say that every cell in the human body is each its own entity.
yet we encompass this biological process in the word I.

could we expand on this idea and assume that every living thing on the planet is actually a macrocosm of that same concept? that something higher exists and we are all working together in order for it to be?
that would mean that everything, living or not (since the living require the none living in order to survive) would be one.
This is a scientifically based viewpoint of a school of thought which has been around for thousands of years. This same belief of oneness is held by religions such as Buddhism and Hinduism. An enlightened person can supposedly "feel" this oneness as it is something which cannot be processed by something as primitive as the human mind.

We will both never really understand what i am pointing to. One can only feel it by abandoning thought. i feel however,that spirituality is easier to swallow if it is introduced by sound reasoning .
