Good point. We had discussed this here before. A good friend of mine
let me look over all his MIU course work which back then was all
privately printed. They made it a point of drawing these connections
extensively in the early coursework but then would state at the end
these were analogies and that you could only take analogies so far.
However eventually this was supplanted with the idea that
consciousness *was* the unified field--and thus the infamous Hagelin
article where he gave up his own expert view (that consciousness was
*not* the unified field) for the insistence of his teacher that
consciousness *was* the unified field of all the laws of nature. In
other words he threw his own credibility out the window in order to
stay close to M.

See the above. Originally it was a provocative analogy, later it
became the operating mythos.
In reality it is probably *prana* that is the unified field. Oops. Oh
well, it was a good marketing spiel while it lasted...
Interesting, in Nirukta, prana literally means "first unit of energy".
