Yes, but the deeper one delves into the workings of the universe, the more one realizes that it is far weirder than we are even capable of understanding. The way an electron can be in several places at once until it “knows” you’re watching it, for example; then changing its behavior to a more mannered one. I do get the sense that there is some profound mathematical harmony to the universe, but we might need planet-sized brains to even begin to grasp it.

I think some of our greatest spiritual teachers, throughout history, have given us some clues.

In this regard, I especially appreciate the Shema of the Jews, which seems to me to speak to an underlying unity/union of all Creation:

“Hear, O Israel: the LORD our God, the LORD is one.”

People seem to think it simply means that there is only one God, as opposed to a multitude of gods. I think there’s a lot more to it than that.
