Series Introduction: 

“Marvelous indeed is the Lord’s universe.  Within it He is working all His wonders of creation.  Do not be a walking “dead man” in this world; observe, analyze, and appreciate what God and his agent, man Have wrought here.  How intricate is the universal mechanism!  Reflect on the way we are made, and in what orderly fashion the whole machinery of creation runs according to cosmic law.” (pp.251, Man’s Eternal Quest)

With this quote from Paramahansa Yogananda encourages the exploration and discovery of the Lord’s Infinite creation.  This series sets out to show how modern science and the essence of religion are increasingly in harmony.  We hope in this program and future programs to awaken a greater appreciation and understanding of the contributions that modern science is making, and how it relates to the path of inner discovery and awakening of each soul.  To reveal the astounding relative reality in which we live and have our being.

Some Quotes from Paramahansa Yogananda:

Life Is a Matrix of Consciousness

 “We are made of the matrix of consciousness.  All life was spumed out of the one Source of the river of consciousness.  Your individual consciousness is thus the very foundation of your existence.  All of your thoughts and actions are bubbles and droplets of the river of consciousness.

The seemingly solid body is actually a mass of electromagnetic currents.  Its electrons and protons are condensations of the relative positive and negative creative thoughts projected by God, which I call thoughtrons.  All creation derives from these thoughtrons, the consciousness of God.

… In the ultimate sense, then, all things are made of pure consciousness, their finite appearance is the result of the relativity of consciousness.  Therefore, if you want to change anything in yourself, you must change the process of thought that occasions the materialization of consciousness into different forms of matter and action.  That is the way, the only way, to remold your life.”  (pp. 18-19, Journey To Self-Realization)

The Talk “The Infinite Nature of God” (pp. 21-31, Man’s Eternal Quest)

Other Bhagavad Gita references on the subject of light and the structure of reality:

(pp. 40 n., 368 n., 571 n., 634, 937, 941-946, 945 n., - 946 n.)

Morgan Freeman narrates a spectacular journey from the regions of sub atomic matter/energy to the farthest reaches of space.  This video helps one to understand and feel the incredible intricacy and vastness of God’s creation.

A program aired under the PBS television series “Future Quest”, this nanotechnology feature gives a glimpse of the probable impacts on our world of this emerging technology.  This is clearly one of the emerging principle technologies of the Dwapara Yuga.
