Quantum Physics Echoes YOGA SCIENCE
By Valerie Chakedis Ed.D. (Durga)As a young person, I intuitively felt that there was something greater than everyone and everything appearing to me in my world. I was raised in a family whose religion was intimately entwined with the culture of the “old country,” and I accepted that cultural connection. But the religious messages created a dissonance within me. There was a definite clash between my everyday American life and curiosity, and the patriarchal message of my family’s religion.
I looked at other religions and traditions in search of an approach that included me, and eventually I realized that all those religious traditions I examined were “manmade.” They were layers of interpretations by human beings, covering and shaping the fundamental messages of love and peace. So, I began the search that has led me to both Yoga Science and the science of Quantum Physics.
I had the challenge of reconciling my world view (which is basically everyone’s
shared world view) with the new challenges of Quantum Physics. The old world view, still in force, is called “Newtonian,” for it’s based in the science Isaac Newton employed three hundred years ago. The Newtonian view accepts a separation between mind and matter; embraces the idea that natural events follow precise laws, and sees the universe as a clockwork mechanism, with predictable outcomes based on initial conditions. All of this is called into question by both Yoga Science and Quantum Physics.
As an educator, my interest in Quantum Physics was investigating the ideas it offers about our commonly held world view. Quantum Physics is the study of the micro world––the tiniest entities our senses and intellect can perceive, and I was astonished to learn that in many cases these entities behave in completely different ways from what we expect in the macro world. These mysteries that challenge our understanding of everything include the
following: that certain particles can exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties; that energy emerges in discrete amounts (quanta); that particles can exist in multiple states simultaneously until observed; (as in the famous Double-Slit Experiment referenced in AMI’s Foundation Course); that particles can be “entangled” (the state of one particle simultaneously affecting the state of another in real time, regardless of the distance between them).
Now my own world-view has opened to the idea that anything is possible. Science does make discoveries that impact the world, but I also recognize the often unexamined inclination of human beings, including scientists, to disregard or set aside findings that don’t fit known parameters or expected outcomes. I realized that, generally speaking, I’ve been taught to accept that things are possible only as long as they adequately accommodate existing assumptions.
I’ve learned through Yoga Science that I can’t become free from my unconscious habits without becoming more knowledgeable of my own creative being. This is powerful. By enhancing my ability to understand myself and my accepted values, I disempower the distractions of a frenetically paced, fear-provoking world, and refocus within.
The path to Oneness is intuition, knowledge from within that is independent of data from the senses or the mind. The yogic practice of meditation creates the conditions for the knowledge within to be consciously experienced. Now, intuitively, my frame of reference has changed to “everything is possible”––whether it currently seems possible or not.
After assimilating and personally experimenting with the tenets of Yoga Science presented in Leonard and Jenness Pelmutter’s
seminal book, “The Heart and Science of Yoga,” I have more recently read books by cosmologist Brian Thomas Swimme, whose work has helped to further my intuitive understanding of being “One” with the universe. Swimme and other scientists have begun to explore the common ground between Quantum Physics and Yoga Science. For instance: both disciplines recognize the inherent unity within the apparent diversity––whether as quantum entanglement or the yogic concept of Oneness, and that all existence is interconnected; both recognize that there is a greater reality––beyond materialism and reductionism (breaking things down into parts); both acknowledge that everything vibrates with energy; and both describe the concepts of non-locality, as quantum entanglement of particles at a distance, and as cosmic Consciousness. And further, the quantum Double-Slit Experiment demonstrates the ancient Yogic truth: our individual conscious attention determines how energy is expressed in the material world. There is only One––this endless, conscious, creative universe. There is nothing else. This vast intelligence includes everyone and everything, known and unknown, beyond past, present and future. The principle, “anything is possible” remains important to me because it suggests, in both Quantum Physics and Yoga Science, that each of us must answer for ourselves––through scientific inquiry, experimentation and intuitive knowing––the haunting questions about our Essential Nature, and about the wondrous possibilities of our limitless Existence.
Personal Insights & Experiments YOGA PSYCHOLOGY OF THE BHAGAVAD GITA
Namaste. Jenness and I have taught our Yoga Psychology of the Bhagavad Gita course continuously since 1997. To receive full benefit from this ancient text, students are first required to complete the AMI Meditation® Foundation Course. And, in the last week of each Gita class, students become the teachers, sharing their own unique Yoga Science experiment that applied the wisdom of the Gita, and helped them resolve an emotionally challenging situation. The following Insights are examples of how students learned the Truth–not by reading or by lecture, but rather, through their own personal experimentation and experience. – LEONARD PERLMUTTER (RAM LEV)

Vs. 27: Whatever you do, make it an offering to the Supreme–the food you eat, the sacrifices you make, the help you give, even your suffering.

Vs. 27 and 28: Whatever you do, make it an offering to the Supreme–the food you eat, the sacrifices you make, the help you give, even your suffering. In this way you will be freed from the bondage of karma, and from the results both pleasant and painful. Then, with your heart free, you will be united with the Supreme.
These verses instruct the aspirant to live life with a sense of detachment and spiritual service. They go on to state that whether the personality likes or dislikes the perceived results of a particular action is of no consequence. When the will is surrendered to the wisdom of the Higher Self, regardless of how the personality views a circumstance, peace can and will prevail.
Last week my husband and I were moving through our morning routine in an attempt to get our three children fed, dressed and packed, and to get out the door on time for school. It was time to get the kids into the car, when our youngest child announced that she needed to go the bathroom, and she didn’t need to pee. I looked at the clock and the personality immediately experienced frustration. There was no way she had time to go, and still get everyone to school on time.
The personality began to lament, this was supposed to be a quiet morning. I needed to get a head start in the kitchen. Why didn’t
she go before now? My internal thermostat began to climb as the personality gave its full attention to its dislikes, and anger appeared. In an attempt to cling to its desires, the ego cajoled, Send her now anyway. Have the boys wait for her; they can be late. I am not going out into the cold this morning. I have things to do; I am not taking her
This cycle went on for a short time, until the storm broke, and in a quiet pause, I knew I had forgotten. I gently told the personality that this morning will not go as you imagined and we are going to run an experiment with being calm and at peace with that. You will go out into the cold. Your activities at home will be delayed, and perhaps there will be an unexpected gift in this, and perhaps not. It doesn’t matter. Take a breath. Stay calm. Send the boys now. Take her when she is done.
That truth was like a light that cut through the fog blinding the personality. I lovingly surrendered my attachments and aversions with a sense of curiosity. How would this morning go? I had an experiment to perform and observe.
Without reprimand, my daughter calmly finished in the bathroom. I helped her with her coat, and the two of us stepped out into the cold brisk morning to make our way to school. I took my time helping her into the
car seat and noticed how light and joyous she was. What a gift, I thought to myself. If my husband or I had lost our temper, I would not be enjoying this lightness this morning. I pulled the car out of our driveway. It was cold in the car and I shivered in my coat. Soon, in her joy, my daughter began to sing a song she had learned at Temple. The refrain, “How good it is, how sweet it is, to be together on this day” reverberated through our car. This is unbelievable that she is singing this, I thought to myself. I reflected on the truth of the song she chose. The sun shined brightly and the light warmed us through the car windows. It was lovely. Maya sang the lyrics over and over and soon asked me to join her. We sang it together and the car could barely contain the joy and love as we sang. My heart felt as though it might burst.
What a gift this time with her was. This could have gone so differently, I thought. I pulled into her school. My husband was there waiting to walk her to the door. How wrong the personality had been. What joy would have been lost, had I acted on anger and attachment.
I went home that morning grateful for

the extra time with my daughter and assumed the karma was over. However, once again, with its limited vision, the personality could not see all sides of this experience. When my husband returned home, he told me that as he was driving down our street, which is not a well-traveled road, he found an elderly neighbor lying in the road at her mailbox. She could not get up. My husband was able to get her up off the road and assist her back into the warmth of her house. It was a frigid morning. Had he not been delayed, it is very likely that he would not have driven by her that morning. I fought tears as he told me this story. What a gift surrendering the personality’s likes and dislikes had been!
This experiment deepened my understanding of the limited vision of the personality. Likes and dislikes are powerful forces in the mind, but they are blind forces that can quickly lead us astray––if we do not take a minute to listen to the counsel of the Conscience (Buddhi). When likes and dislikes (ragas and dveshas) are lovingly sacrificed and actions are made as an offering, one has the ability to transcend the limited concepts of the mind and dwell in profound peace.

#2 YOGA PSYCHOLOGY OF THE BHAGAVAD GITA
Insight of Ch. 9 by André Tremblay (Jaidev)
Vs. 34: Fill your mind with the Supreme; serve and worship the Supreme always. Seeking the Supreme in your heart, you will at last be united with the Supreme.
Seeing the movements of branches and leaves being touched and flung about by the wind tickles me. Listening to the sounds as wind––in random gusts, and bursts––arises and passes away, lying low, skimming the surface, rising up, playing upon the strings and hollow reeds of companion elements, rocking the moment with crescendo, order, chaos, all joined with the hidden hand that has composed the score and is conducting it in a timeless symphony of play, so ordinary and sublime, creates wonder. It’s brief. The wind’s there and then it’s gone––only to
return to the stage for encore after encore. Such is the way of the Supreme who says “I am the origin of all; everything proceeds from Me.” We are offered endless glimpses of the unfathomable, strung together and comprised of hints pointing toward Divinity. I recall the movie “The Ten Commandments” in which Moses witnesses the Law being inscribed in stone and exclaims with awe, “Written by the fingertips of God!” The Supreme asks; “Of what use is it for you to know much more?”
Several weeks ago, in the early morning hours of sleep, I entered a dream state, and I awoke to discomfort. The dream was casting a shadow into the morning as the mind wrestled with the vivid experience of isolation and loneliness that had played out only
moments before. With no understanding of the reason for it, I remained attached to the depth of that emotion, pulled along and dragged into turbulent uncertainty. Through it all there was a distant sense of familiarity. This play within the shifting chaos of unresolved habits and incomplete understanding was striking out with a demanding, scripted message of experience and memory. The dream itself was layered with complex imagery and details that offered little in the way of guidance. Faceless figures were suddenly present and then just as quickly, moved away. There was, however, a recognizable figure from the AMI family who remained nearby for a time. His presence provided a degree of comfort and it seemed I was following him through a maze of narrow hallways where the walls pressed in. Then he was gone, and I was at once aware of being left alone. I woke up.
The emotional residue remained with me throughout the day and into the next as well. I took several mantra walks through the woods and the village streets. During meditations I offered in sacrifice the sensations and barrage of thoughts that were arising. For brief periods of time I experienced some detachment and relief, but it was not total. Clearly the attempts I had made to process and resolve the issue were insufficient to receive the gifts of Grace surely offered by that dream. They remained beyond my reach.
And so, during a weekly visit to AMI, I shared with Ram Lev how I was feeling. As usual, his attentiveness embraced the content of the moment in silence and love. Like a gentle wind that caresses the surface of a lake, and that allows birds to effortlessly glide about in the skies, I was heard and received. He referenced several of my early childhood relationships and experiences, and he suggested that I pay close attention to anything and everything that triggers me. In the days that followed, I did recall wave after wave of people, situations and importantly, thoughts––that could send André into a fight, flight or freeze tailspin. Many were beneath the surface, subtle reactions that were easy to gloss over. Others were more overt, where the words spoken and bodily movements were habitual.
In the Gita, Krishna addresses Arjuna with the following: “Indeed I shall tell you of My celestial magnificences but only the main ones . . . there is no end to my details.” And so, as I contemplated Ram Lev’s good counsel and reflected upon the words of the Gita, I began to remember and accept the true nature of who I really am. Our thoughts, desires, emotions and concepts are constantly changing and ultimately unreal, and yet we have relationships with them, as I do with my memories and dreams. And all are manifestation of the One.
Personal Insights & Experiments #3 YOGA PSYCHOLOGY OF THE BHAGAVAD GITA
Insight of Ch. 9 by Joyce Zurenko (Parvati) Vs. 27 & 28: Whatever you do, make it an offering to the Supreme–the food you eat, the sacrifices you make, the help you give, even your suffering. In this way you will be freed from the bondage of karma, and from the results both pleasant and painful. Then, with your heart free, you will be united with the Supreme.
My devotion to the Divine is reflective of my deepest driving desire. It is my sincere desire to be in union with the Divine, to see God in everything and God’s love everywhere, and then to project that same love, offering every
thought and action––even my suffering––to the Supreme. To me, this is acknowledgment of God’s immanence. It is the acceptance and acknowledgment of “Thy will, not my will.” If we can live our lives in union with God’s will, practicing vairagya (non-attachment), we will be released from our karmas.
About two months ago I experienced a challenging karma: I felt pain in my left shoulder following a particularly physical game of pickleball. I did the usual icing and supportive wrapping but didn’t see any improvement. My mind went to the past and
the future; remembering a prior rotator cuff injury and surgery, and imagining a comparable injury sidelining me.
Reading these verses provided me an alternative action: offering the pain as a sacrifice to the Supreme. I began making an offering of the pain every time I felt it, which was often. In addition, I concentrated on this area without judgment and sent love, asking, “What is it I am to learn from this?” I became more conscious of the habit of offering other things as well––my day, my meals, time spent with friends and family. This increased inner reflection caused me to slow down my mind and my body. I became more onepointed in my movements, and altered the way I did certain things, so as not to put undue stress on the left arm.
After 24 hours, the change was perceptible. I was in significantly less pain. I noted this, but didn’t dwell on it perhaps for fear of jinxing it. I simply continued my practice. I was occasionally aware of an increase in the pain after that; but again, I just continued my practices. I was finding the arm pain was
quite manageable and dwelling on it took up less space in my head!
It was at this point that we read verses 19 through 40 in Chapter 10, where Krishna describes his many manifestations. I started reframing this pain as a manifestation and a gift from God. This reminder removed the remaining judgment and fear that was lingering in my mind. I went back and reviewed my notes from the Chakras class and have been working with the relationship between this pain and my Heart Chakra.
I have benefitted so much from these verses. First and foremost, this karma of pain re-centered me and brought increased devotion to my inner work. I want to say the pain has greatly improved, but don’t want to label or judge the condition. What I can say is that I am AWARE of less pain. It no longer occupies my thoughts to the same degree as before. I am not fearful of it, and if I become aware one day that I need a medical opinion, I will certainly seek it out. Right now, however, it is my companion and teacher for as long as it needs to stick around.

Insight of Ch. 9 by Tracey St. John (Daksha)
Vs. 27 and 28: Whatever you do, make it an offering to the Supreme–the food you eat, the sacrifices you make, the help you give, even your suffering. In this way you will be freed from the bondage of karma, and from the results both pleasant and painful. Then, with your heart free, you will be united with the Supreme.
I have a very nice but combative cat. You may have seen him in some AMI Zoom classes. Finnegan recently underwent his third eye surgery, which is, in itself, a horrible ordeal for him, but it is no picnic for me either. It takes a tremendous amount of bravery, tact, and patience to care for this animal when he has to wear a cone on his head for ten days.
When I was picking up Finnegan from the animal hospital, I realized I had forgotten to bring with me something that I had success
with in his prior surgeries. A halter. Attaching a halter to the cone ensures that it will not come off easily. It is best to do this when he is sedated unless you want to be bitten. (In Finnegan’s defense, his initial owner declawed him. This is like cutting off the first joints of your fingers. He has never forgotten that, and thus has gotten extremely quick with his teeth.)
So they handed me the carrier with the cat and said “seems like he’s gotten the cone off already. Can you put it on when you get home?” I told them that I could not, and that he also needed a harness to attach the cone to, and that they needed to put it on before the cat left the hospital. I gave Finnegan back and they told me where there was a pet store in the vicinity. It was 3:30pm. The hospital shift change is at 5:00pm, and I wanted to have
the people familiar with Finnegan complete this task. So, I head out in heavy traffic to the store. When I get to the address, I find the store is no longer there. I take some deep breaths and start repeating my mantra. I realize that I must get on the highway and go to the next city. I don’t know if you are familiar with 495 North on a Thursday afternoon, but it’s not fun. I have plenty of time to think, as traffic is moving slowly. I then realize that this would be a perfect time to offer my suffering, with great sincerity, to the Supreme. What do I have to lose? After I did this, a great calm came over me. I made it to the pet store and this really nice clerk asked me if I needed help. She said they didn’t have any cat harnesses, but they did have some small dog harnesses and helped me select one that
might work. Thank God she was there to help, because I never would have been able to negotiate that by myself. I made it back before 5:00pm and the hospital personnel put on both the harness and the cone. Now, seven days later, both are still on.
I realize that the actions of that afternoon are not enough to free me from the bondage of karma, but they took me one step closer to understanding that if I remember to offer whatever I have to the Supreme, I will be closer to my liberation. And that my offering won’t be only my “suffering.” By selflessly offering whatever I have to the Supreme and to others, I will see the presence of the Divine in myself and in others. Like that nice clerk who helped me in the pet store.
