Indeed, that's what I found out on my own after thinking for 20 years!
Of course you cannot just decline something saying everything is one anyway, because the measurement, understanding and description are still useful.
It being there 3 times is just random, because other names were already in use.
I use it, because no matter which of my theories are right, "being one" is important.
Either we are already one, merely perceiving this separated, because of this brains perception or have to work together to become one big mechanism (currently we are a big dark inefficient mechanism), because no matter what happens after death - they all have in common that what you did comes back to you if either room or time are infinite- or both.
And so many of my theories all lead to all compared things being one and the same..!edit on 6-4-2014 by oneoneone because: (no reason given)

not only Carl Sagan but many other important and well known scientists and great people are saying the same thing.
"everything is everything is everything."
it took me years to figure out that meaningful quote and when I did; my understanding of the world has changed forever.

Do you believe there is a thing called future?
Umm... Yes.
Really? Can you or any scientist show me one now?
Where is this thing called future?

Words define other words. Spirituality is how I feel when I wake up. It's how I feel when I share my thoughts with my nieces and nephews, its how I feel when I study science and life. It's how I feel.

Everything i think you mean by spirituality has already been proven to be wrong. But you still wont explain exactly what you mean by spirituality. Give me an example and i will show you what i mean.
OK, since you are really asking for it:
God, in any form.
even animals think about the past and make predictions into the future. Just not nearly on the same level we do. Words come from our want to describe the world around us. Which is why it is so important to understand the definitions of words before you use them. When you use a word incorrectly or in place of another word, then your idea you are trying to convey is meaningless to everyone around you. It is even stricter when you are using mathematics. Your formulas have to be written out correctly or they will not make accurate predictions.

Science is the observation of the physical world, it is exactly as finite as physical matter.
Life is examining life.
'Science' is just existence peering into existence - how far does it have to travel?
Can life be anywhere but here and now?
Can one examine the 'future' or 'past'? Or is 'future and past' just words arising now? Out of what do these words arise and where do they go?edit on 6-4-2014 by Itisnowagain because: (no reason given)

Lots of people believe lots of things. None of that matters. Do you believe in the importance of truth? And the difference between opinion and fact?
truth is changing.
opinions are changing.
"facts" are changing.
in the end it seems like you will be the only thing in the universe that will stay the same.
The truth is what is present - it is changing and unchanging (motion and rest).
Hold onto the changing and there will be suffering. Find that which never changes and the kingdom of heaven will be revealed.edit on 6-4-2014 by Itisnowagain because: (no reason given)

Are you asking me if i can show you a future?
When would you do that?
Hhmm... Or prove that there will be a future? Yes i can. I can even make predictions into the future with a high likelihood of them coming true.
The fact of the matter is - everything is now - everything there is, is in the present. Every thought or memory or prediction happens now - nothing at all ever happens in the future because 'future' is an idea arising now.
I can predict that there will be a future and i will be right. Every experience that i have ever had leads me to believe that there will be a future. As a matter of fact there would be an astronomically high ratio for the likelihood of there being a future.
All is changing presently but there is a belief in time.
There is a 100% chance that the sun will appear in the eastern horizon in the morning. I am willing to bet my life on it.

Mathematics is what never changes. It is also what disproves the idea of heaven.

Nothing isn't spiritual though, that's why you can't see where I'm coming from. Everything to me adds up a certain way, everything to you adds up to a different perception. Neither of us are wrong
