An exploration of the fascinating parallels between the Vedic texts and modern physics, highlighting the profound connections between ancient spiritual wisdom and modern scientific understanding
Deepak Chopra's book "How to Know God," touches on the intersection of spirituality and quantum physics. It's been quite a while since I read it, but quite fascinating.
Most are not aware there is even an overlap, let alone that the Venn diagram is just about a circle. We're proving 3000 year old beliefs. It's amazing! 🙏🏻💜💫
It is amazing. I have been trying to remember the title of another book about this and I can't think of it, but it will come to me. It was a very prominent physicist who wrote it in the aughts.
Thank you for the shout out Demi. This is so well written and so much here for my head to absorb. So enlightening.
Imagine the history and knowledge of the Vedics being revived? Scientists might be humbled, but they would learn and gain a much clearer understanding of our essence. By combining the empirical regiment of science with the profound wisdom of the Vedics, they may unlock new a more holistic understanding of ourselves and the universe. Thank you again Demi! 💞💕💝
Thank you so much, Charlotte - I can only hope that this ends up being the direction that we head in, considering there’s so much overlap here the Venn diagram might as well be a solid circle. 3000 year old info. It’s mind-blowing what has been hidden from us. Sending my love! 🙏🏻💜💫
Thank you for forging so many links between prominent figures in physics and Vedic wisdom.
Studying tumour migration under the microscope became increasingly difficult because I kept ‘seeing’ sacred geometry and disorganised geometries in connective tissue I was studying...without knowing what I was seeing and why. I had no one to talk to about these visions nor anyone who took me seriously enough to engage in exploratory conversations. I felt so lonely and a little bit crazy. It all became clear and comforting after I left academia and had non-stigmatising space to explore spiritual traditions, including my own (mystical Judaism).
The first thing that sprang to mind was structured water vs. unstructured water and the consciousness within water itself. Was the incorporation of unstructured water into tissues creating disorganized geometry in the connective tissues?
Please always feel free to bring up these topics with me - I find these kinds of explorations to be fascinating!
It's a great question. I didn't know about Emoto's water experiments until after that period of my life so I couldn't say. The conclusion I came to after leaving academia is that I was seeing repeated geometric fractals and disorganised fractals of the connective tissue. The connective tissue, to me, was like a liquid crystal array that runs through every species in the animal kingdom (including sponges), without which the organism organism dies/is non viable. Its disorganisation reflected in cuckoo mandalas and other visions could have included that of water too.
That is so interesting. It makes sense that distortions in the architecture of the way matter is constructed would adversely affect viability, no matter the medium, and especially if the medium is something with a liquid phase that can restructure and readjust via vortex or frequency. Wow.
I read the book by Stephen Cope. "The Great Work of Your Life", about the Bagavad Gita. Not hard to understand after he goes through the whole thing. I am interested in the Upinshads (spelling?)teachings and the Atman, the space in our hearts where God resides and shines above all light. .
Where does everyone on this site get these images I see so often attached to their articles? There are so many beautiful and original images, incredible concepts put to paint.
Yet many seem to be from the same source(s) perhaps?
As a non writer myself, there must be a logical answer here.
The ones you pick especially standout. Another one has an all seeing foreboding eye w all kindsa tentacles n shit.

Ofcourse this is all in books. But have you tried visiting a few South Indian temples which are of epitome importance ? You'll be blown away - magical precision. Eg: 1. Tiruvannamalai - the fire temple; sun rays fall on the main deity only on the summer solstice day at around crosses 33°. 2. Belur Chennakeshava temple - this temple is all about geavity - there's huge huge monolithic gaint rock pillar which stands on 3 sides not 4. And it is our ancient perfect and accurate sesimometer. Our grandparents used to tell us stories that can be even verified scientifically and that ain't there in any book. Invaders setup fire to our Nalanda University in Varanasi and the library alone burnt for 3 straight months.. Else you would have 10000000s of books even with advanced mathematics, plane designs and blueprints and advanced electronics and other sources of electricity/ power. Fuck modern day physics ans the authoritative mind of the so-called scientists from the west. The authoritative structure in the mind is the only thing that prevents from learning. The true limitation.
A couple of great books I read many years ago, that elucidate this phenomena quite well are "The Dancing Wu Li Masters" by Gary Zukav 1979, and "The Tao of Physics" by Fritjof Capra 1975.
Demi, your essay was brilliant. I’ve mucked about in Vedanta for four decades and have not read anything better constructed than this essay. Thank you for such an excellent cosmography of Indra’s Net, made of jewels, cunningly where each jewel and thread reflects the whole and from which nothing escapes. I bow to the Goddess within you.
This means so much to me - you are so kind. Thank you. I've been collecting materials on this for years in different conversations with friends from the anonymous groups I was discussing in my article on meritocracy and anonymity. It's something I was teaching to them piecemeal for years in lessons haphazardly cobbled together from lists of other articles they would need to slog through to get here because no one person was covering all of this outright, and I finally managed to carve out the time to revisit it all - four years of notes. But understanding this part of the framework is crucial to the entirety of what I need to say in the future, especially to anyone presuming to "debunk" metaphysics or dismiss it out of hand when these concepts are our literal basis for our current scientific understanding of reality. I'm honored, Radha. ☺️🙏🏻💜💫

When I see metaphysics I slowly get drawn in.
“ Reframing the Separation of Science and Metaphysics: A Call for Integrated Understanding”
This title sends a clear message that for science to be better understood these mysteries must be explored and analyzed.
Thank you Demi ✨💜✨
The overlap is insane. We're better off using the Vedas as a study guide than to keep reinventing the wheel. 🥰
Wow!
"Science and spirituality are not polar opposites but two ways into the same basic truth."
Well said.
Fascinating piece on the connection between ancient Vedic texts and 'new' discoveries in modern quantum physics.
To dismiss metaphysics as 'Unscientific,' makes as much sense as starting to count from 2.

Sending my love to, I hope there’s a time when all truth is revealed to us. That’s one of the Bible’s promises I hold onto. 🙏✨💖

Epic post! Very interesting. Have had many Indian and Hindu friends who told me about the parallels with physics.. nice to read this synopsis.
