Sarvam khalvidam brahma
tajjalaniti santa upasita

-Chandogya Upanishad, 3.14.1
All this is Brahman.
(This) is born from, dissolves in, and exists in That.
Therefore, one should meditate by becoming calm.
Because a person is identified with (one’s) conviction, (therefore) just as the conviction a person has in this world, so does one become after departing from here. Therefore one should shape one’s conviction.
The Brahman of the Hindus, like the Dharmakaya of the Buddhists, and the Tao of the Taoists, can be seen, perhaps, as the ultimate unified field, from which spring not only the phenomena studied in physics, but all other phenomena as well.
In the Eastern view, the reality underlying all phenomena is beyond all forms (e.g. beyond a god) and defies all description and specification. It is, therefore, often said to be formless, empty, or void. But this emptiness is not to be taken for mere nothingness. It is, on the contrary, the essence of all forms and the source of all life.
-Fritjof Capra, The Tao of Physics
Today, it is fully established that physical atoms are comprised of a menagerie of subatomic units such as quarks, bosons and fermions. Interestingly, particle physicists perceive these fundamental atomic units as vortices of energy resembling nano-tornados.
-Bruce Lipton, Steve Bhaerman (Spontaneous Evolution)
There is no place in this new kind of physics both for the field and matter, for the field is the only reality.
-Albert Einstein
