Abstract
The contemporary quest to understand the essential nature of mind and consciousness matches a pervasive fascination with discovering the most fundamental energy that infuses all. This quest is not new, but the same impulse also influenced methodical observers in ancient times. The ancient scientists of consciousness and energetics and contemporary physicists differ little in their passion to grasp the fundamental components of the world, universe, cosmos. Their findings are not very different. The immense gap between ancient and contemporary explorers is evident primarily in the enormous diversity of their methods of investigation and the huge difference in the nature of their laboratories.
