I think that you are concentrate in a very down to earth materialistic way of thinking, on subject that is above and beyond it.
You try to explain the how it is or what it is in a human way. That in my opinion useless, I think that we don't have to brake our head on how it work but why it work? why we live ? why all is happening as it happening ? why the world is like that? etc.. I think that this is the key for understanding spirituality. and what we are doing here.
But you got some good points as:
"Spirituality", then, is an AWARENESS of my smallness, a SENSE of the infinite that I am connected to, a PERCEPTION of my finiteness amid the infinite, a RESPECT for my relationship to a unity, a HARMONY with this infinite, eternal FLOW.
Now there is both smooth flow and violent flow in my sense of spirituality"
and "I believe that a sense of spirituality adds a positive spin, if we can accept different expressions of this sense, just as we accept different expressions of what we call "art"."
This is how the Kabbala see this problem.
"Religion attempts to give us guidelines for how to live (faith), while science attempts to give us explanations for how things function and relate (physical proof).
We might imagine that by combining the information from both fields, we could have an all-encompassing framework that addresses the interrelated function and purpose of everything. But we don't. Both science and religion stop short at providing us with the answers we seek. For the average person, neither science nor religion has been able to better our daily lives or provide us with a sense of purpose.
The reason for this, according to the kabbalist, is that both science and organized religion are restricted within the world of effects, because they are locked into the question of how. In other words, asking how something occurs overlooks completely the intent behind the action and forces us to take mere shots in the dark to unravel an effect, rather than considering the cause. By addressing the question of why, the kabbalist deals with the thought preceding the action.
Not only are the languages of mathematics and scripture beyond comprehension for most of us, but also neither approach seems to have much relevance in our modern world. We seek a more accessible wisdom to enable us to figure out this life-purpose thing. Neither science nor religion provide us with practical wisdom concerning matters of the heart and soul. Information is useless without that understanding. In other words, the effects mean nothing without understanding the cause; the rules can always come into question when there is no knowledge of the intent of the game; the how will never truly be realized without an attempt to figure out the why.
"Physicists are limited because studying relationships of physical matter is based on repetition of experiments in a laboratory," Dr. Kaku points out. Therefore, an unexplainable occurrence, such as a miracle, cannot be proved or taken apart by scientists because the event cannot be contained in a lab or repeated. However, this does not mean miracles do not happen; it just means that physicists cannot provide an explanation for them because science has restricted itself to the physical realm, or the world of effects.
"You cannot criticize physicists for the fact that they are limited within the study of physical matter," argues Fred Alan Wolf, a theoretical physicist and award-winning writer, who has worked to expand the findings of physics into a broader discussion of spirituality, philosophy, and application. "That would be like criticizing an artist for using oil paints. The strength of physics is that it gives us physical proof. Its weakness is that it does not provide us with any subjective insight. That's a job for the mystic."
This is just apart from an artical named Adam & Atom
