A two letter English word of which I don't know the origin containing the letters "I" and "t".

Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni:

"You did WHAT?  With WHO?  WHERE???"

The outward is all descent of the inward. The inward is unity of all great attributes and greatness that would make a being ultimately great. The outward is the descent which all creation share attributes from the divine. The outward includes all beauty and greatness seen outwardly in nature and art and speech. The most beautiful mind is God, and all outward descent of that mind includes all what can be perceived as beautiful, as great, the subjective experiences we go through. All this has a mark from the divine, the eternal name that connects the outward to the inward lives with us, and hence we can God is the Outward and the Inward. As far the Inward, we are hidden from the full reality of it, because we are limited, but we do know and been given knowledge, that the outward originates from the inward, and would have no way of being what it is without the inward (God, the Unseen oneness of ultimate beauty and greatness).

Hi there, Deepak Chopra! Can I get your autograph?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

sorry for the late reply, but i do not want to claim that gravity doesnt exist, what i was going to is that science has devided forces into 4 categories. It has never been proven that those categories are correct, perhaps it can all be brought back to 1 force? Or maybe there is a 5th?
Who says it's actually 'forces' that causes mass to move, maybe there are infinitely small invisible fairies pushing quarks around?
To give another example: what is energy, how do you define energy? Textbooks would say: the ability to do work, to exert a force. Clearly, the concept of energy is in fact a simple human invention on to which theories could be build, only much later scientists realised that energy and matter are related (einstein). Same goes for time. These are all science indoctrines that help 'simple' human brains to perceive those phenoma, but they are not proven to be right.

Truly infinitely small whatevers aren't going to do anything.

Think about it.
