We can't know things well, even with the newest tools. As Berkeley said long ago, when we touched a certain matter it might be cold, while another time it might appear to be warm. So, what kind of property that matter has?
Besides, we don't know what a property or an attribute is. This 'property-attribute theory' comes from Plato. Another kind of that is to rely on measure solely. Like, we can find the primary qualities of things while not being sure about the others, as John Locke taught. Whichever way is the most reliable no guarantees what those properties, attributes, etc are. They still might be fictions.
So, let's assume that since we are not sure in any properties, something allows us to use them anyway. That additional thing might be called spiritual. It helps us to unite those separated elements of things together.
We can use a word 'mystical', mentioning that hidden unification, but in this way we would underline just a covered, or an unsolved problem. We cannot register easily that something that allows the unite to occur, however it might have happening all the time by spirits.
Ancient people, especially the North Europeans, mentioned spirits much more often. Our problem of today is that we humanise or reshape the spirits, thinking they have to look as well as we've been told about it through the media.
We believe that the universe doesn't separate. Why does it keep doing? Atoms within us are closed, and atoms don't exist separately as well as there are no lonely atoms (really?.. I'm not really sure about that).
Another thing is the function. We may present what is going on with the matter, or universe from a point of view of individuals, but this supports traditions, and destroy the free way of thinking. In math the functions are being constantly and elsewhere used. Well, so what a function is? We may skip any interpreted explanations of what a function is, however the role of them is major. Can we spot functions? No. They are abstractions, and that's it. We may say: what an abstraction is for linguistics, and what is for different functions are for brains. And that means that the functions are spiritual for some objects.
