Most physicists would agree that there is no physicality in the sense of hard stuff. Even though the concept of an indivisible particle has been around since day dot - in both Western and the Eastern philosophy - the general consensus is, 'all mass is interaction' (as Feynman puts it).
My view is, since the separation of spiritual, philosophical and scientific thought - which came about mostly because of religious dominion over the soul - there is an incomplete system of inquiry. The other fatal flaw, I think, is the notion of answers, because the answer one induces is in context with the question, and not an absolute. The limit we face really is, knowledge production entirely consists of abstract descriptions, and for these reasons, there is no such thing as an actual answer.
The spiritual inquiry isn't a belief system, like a religion; it's a direct perception devoid of abstract notions. We're suppose to 'respect religious beliefs' and other spiritual nonsense - but we don't have to respect the sciences. In science we already know we only invent abstractions to describe relationships, and do not profess to know the truth.
Spirituality is entirely removed from philosophy, from religion and from science, because the truth of things can not be learned as aquired knowledge. It can only be perceived momentarily and not be retained or conveyed.
