Yoga & Science Not So Far Apart
Previously, there seemed to be a huge gap between Oneness and the Ultimate Reality as understood in the scriptures and as understood by science.
However, we live in a time where science is finally moving away from its limited focus on the matter alone and starting to see a more holistic picture – a picture where the universe and human beings appear to be a field of vibrating conscious energy. Conscious…with knowing…omniscient…all-knowing…do you hear? Is this not how we describe the Ultimate, even God?
But, we also find that even in the field of science, there is still a long way to go as some scientists cling to the old paradigms and old ways to understand the universe. Of course, all of us are conditioned by that very paradigm. We all really think and behave as if matter is solid, as if matter exists, because we perceive it through our five senses.
