Prana or Higgs?

 We can see how the "bright ones" became merged into one principle; and likewise in the ideas of the cosmos we find the ancient thinkers going higher and higher-from the fine elements they go to finer and more embracing elements, and from these particulars they come to one omnipresent ether, and from that even they go to an all embracing force, or Prana; and through all this runs the principle, that one is not seperate from the others. It is the very ether that exists in the higher form of Prana, or the higher form of Prana concretes, so to say, and becomes ether; and that ether becomes still grosser and so on.Vivekananda

To begin, the Rishis looked at the dense matter around them and began to question what it was made of. As they reflected in the "laboratory of cell research" they could see that there was something deeper hidden beneath the surface of this physical phenomena that seems so real. According to Vivekenanda, this is what they discovered as they went deeper as that energy frequency went higher :

• They discovered beneath the initial superficial layer, finer and more embracing elements. These were still elements with physical and energetic nature but they were realizing nothing was as dense as it appeared. This dicovery that took place thousands and thousands of years ago can be compared to  what science has been discovering, over the course of a century or two, about matter through the discovery of molecular structure, then atoms...from atoms - sub atomic particles, and from sub atomic particles they discovered space. 
• In this space, as the Rishis went deeper, they discovered one omnipresent ether; an all embracing force which they called Prana. This I presume would equate to what physicists discovered and called "The Higgs Field" ...wavelets of vibrating energy abrupting in spaciousness. These modern day scientists discovered fermions, particle makers, they named Quarks and Leptons and most interestingly they discovered another force that allowed these things to combine to make matter which was carried by something called a Boson.  (Bosons, quarks, leptons). 
• Such a yogi would say that it  is this One Prana that creates the ether and then the particle matter.  The quantum physicist might say it is the Boson that creates this One vibrating spaciousness upon which all particle matter emerges.
• This ether gets a little denser the farther away from the center  or "Seat of Consciousness" the mind's attention goes, according to the yogi. Energy frequency lowers.  According to the scientist, as we work our way back from the Higgs Field, matter emerges becoming denser, and denser, and denser ( slower)until it is the physical reality we assume. The energy of the boson combines more Leptons and Quarks into subatomic structure, and subatomic structure combines into atoms and atoms combine into molecles. Molecles become the dense matter (lower frequency energy) our senses pick up and the brain interprets. 

The key thing discovered in both of these "scientific" studies is that there is One  energy field at the basis of everything. It doesn't matter if you call it Prana or Higgs...There is One vibrating energy that is the basis for all there is. 

If we think of the individual as seperate from everything else in the universe, it cannot stand a minute. Such a thing never existed. Vivekananda

All is well.
