New findings in science strongly support the mystical knowledge of the ages. The premises of materialism are severely limited. Physicists experimenting with subatomic particles have discovered astounding and profound connections between the thoughts and beliefs of the experimenters and the outcome of experiments. Breaking these particles down to their smallest components yields pure energy. Mass can no longer be associated simply with material substance. Particles do not consist of any basic "matter," but are simply bundles of energy.

Since time is measured by the period it takes to move something from one point to another, if there is no matter, there is no way of measuring time. Likewise, since the existence of space is dependent on the presence or absence of matter, if there is no matter, there is no space. This is not to suggest that time/form/matter are completely illusory, but only to put them in a larger perspective. While they have their uses - they enable us to function on the physical plane - they cannot be used to explain all of reality.
