The only living and true religion in any society and in any historical epoch is the effort of the individual to surrender (return) to the radical intuition of truth (in the form of SELF realization) and to be transformed by the radiant transcendental love-energy that moves the world.
-Franklin Jones
Newton's "Law of Motion" is the law of Maya (Hinduism), "Duality" (Taoism), "To every action there is always an equal and contrary reaction; the mutual actions of any two bodies are always equal and oppositely directed." Action and reaction are thus exactly equal. "To have a single force is impossible. There must be, and always is, a pair of forces equal and opposite." Fundamental natural activities all betray their mayic (dual) origin. Electricity, for example, is a phenomena of repulsion and attraction; its electrons and protons are electrical opposites. Another example: The atom or final particle of matter is, like the earth itself, a magnet with positive and negative poles. The entire phenomenal world is under the inexorable sway of polarity; no law of physics, chemistry or any other science is ever found free from inherent opposite or contrasted principles.
-Yogananda
The law of "relativity" is the law of "Maya" (Hinduism), "Duality" (Taoism).
-Yogananda
"The universe is represented in every one of its particles. Everything is made of one hidden stuff. The world globes itself in a drop of dew. . . the true doctrine of omnipresence is that God appears with all his parts in every moss and cobweb."
-Emerson in "Compensation"
The principles that operate in the outer universe, discoverable by scientists, are called natural laws. But there are subtler laws that rule the hidden spiritual planet and the inner realm of consciousness; these principles are knowable through the science of yoga (meditation-cultivation).
-Sri Yukteswar
In the world of physics we watch a shadow graph performance of the drama of familiar life. The shadow of my elbow rests on the shadow table as the shadow ink flows, over the shadow paper. It is all symbolic. And as a symbol, the physicist leaves it. Then comes the alchemist mind who transmutes the symbols. . . to put the conclusion crudely, the stuff of the world is mind-stuff.
-Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington, "The Nature of the Physical World"
The crystalline structure of Tungsten, hitherto known only indirectly by means of "x" rays, stood out lined boldly on a fluorescent screen, showing nine atoms in their correct positions in the space lattice, a cube, with one atom in each corner and one in the center. The atoms in the crystal lattice of the Tungsten appeared on the fluorescent screen as points of light, arranged in a geometric pattern. Against this crystal cube of light, the bombarding molecules of air could be observed as dancing points of light. Similar to points of sunlight shimmering on moving waters...
The principle of the electron microscope was first discovered in 1927 by Drs. Clinton J. Davisson and Lester H. Germer of the Bell Telephone Laboratories, New York City, who found that the "electron" has a dual personality, partaking of the characteristics of both a "particle" and a "wave." The wave quality gave the electron the characteristic of light, and a search was begun to devise means for "focusing" electrons in a manner similar to the focusing of light by means of a lens.

For his discovery of the "Jekyll-Hyde" quality of the electron, which showed that the entire realm of "physical nature" has a dual personality, Dr. Davisson received the Nobel Prize in Physics.
