Alok
has put it well when he says that the the truths are verifiable by an
inner psychological process. It may be added that these truths are no
less verifiable externally than psychologically. The descent of HER
force light and peace are as tangible and palpable as for eg the
external touch of a hand. Still it is interesting to note the progress
and the convergence of the sciences physics now bordering on
metaphysics.

But really the truths that are now being discovered
by scientists psychologists alike were discovered by long ago by the
mystics. In fact the Sankhya explains that the "intelligence" present
in the mechanical phenomenon of " the electron behaving as if making
choices" is the same in its substratum as what we observe as mental
intelligence and mind itself a transcript of this mechanical action.
But this mechanical action takes on the appearance of intelligent
consciousness because of the reflection of this mechanical
action(prakriti) in the pure consciousness(Purusha).

But action is still mechanical and of the inconscient.
