You should investigate more into esoteric and experience it. Lots of learning awaits you.
I recommend this book, written by a scientist Imants Baruss.
"Authentic knowing - the convergence of science and spiritual aspiration".
There you should meet Carl Rogers, Heidegger, Assagioli....
I recommend also:
"Book of secrets", from Deepak Chopra.

When i think about this subject, i find myself being forced to believe that the universe is eternal, because i cannot begin to comprehend the idea of nothingness before the creation of the universe, along with how can something be created out of nothing, have scientist proved that this is possible?, because i cant see how it can be.
Many scientist are accepting that the physical and the mind are not necessarily bound together.

I thought it was the other way round. Physical changes in the brain through disease or accidents cause real change in the observed personality of the people experiencing neurological damage. Are we not the product of the brain ? I knew a guy who was a nice friendly sort of guy but he had a car accident and sufferd brain damage to the front part of his brain - afterwards he was an alcoholic loner type who ended up living in the woods.
I hope we're not just a product of biology but it does seem while we're alive we're surely subject to it's laws.

If we are all one, then there is no such thing as death. When one "dies", they live on as others. If we are all one then we are all the earth. If we are all the earth, then the earth is alive and that means even what seems inanimate. Therefore consciousness is a force from outside the body, and the inside.
That's the thing. It's very true that the neurological aspect affects a great deal of who we are. In that aspect it puts limits on us, or vice versa, and we must live by these laws for the time in this body. One of the reasons we may say that body and spirit are separate is from many things experience, and studies shown. Such as dream sharing, precognition, remote viewing, astral projection, lucid dreaming, and other strange metaphysical and or supernatural occurrences. They may very well fit in with the advance of the field of quantum mechanics or another not yet known theory. We will use this time on Earth to ponder such things.

Funnily enough i've experienced telepathy, lucid dreaming (on demand) astal/etheric projection, dream sharing and even though it all seems very real at the time proving it in an objective way to observers is extremely difficult. I've learnt not to discuss such matters with the general public as they tend to think you're a bit of a head case. I've got a whole selection of unusual events if you're interested. PM me if you want the stories.
