I got the idea due to your apparent use of logic as a touchstone for the truth, showing Yogananda in a poor light. The truth will never fit entirely within logics framework. What he was trying to tell us, is very difficult to say as a truth framed in scientific jargon. He did his best and his effort is, to me, admirable. It is like trying to fit four dimensions in a three dimensional space.

For example, in your issues with transmuting breath to mind or put another way oxygen to energy, you do not take into consideration that the change, or transmutation is from one body to another (gross to subtle). This is why I completed your quote about the dream breath. Do you understand how mind and breath can be used together to reveal pure awareness? Yogananda did and he was not incorrect with his use of "transmute" to describe certain changes in awareness. It is used in a way howerver that boggles the rational mind because the rational mind can have no understanding of it on its own. It can only experience it through memory after the fact. Does this make sense to you?
