Here is how Capra resorts to the so-called "repeatability" of science to unify science and Eastern mysticism:

Anybody who wants to repeat an experiment in modern subatomic physics has to undergo many years of training. Only then will he or she be able to ask nature a specific question through the experiment and to understand the answer. Similarly, a deep mystical experience requires, generally, many years of training under an experienced master, and, as in the scientific training, the dedicated time does not alone guarantee success. If the student is successful, however, he or she will be able to `repeat the experiment.' The repeatability of the experience is, in fact, essential to every mystical training and is the very aim of the mystics' spiritual instruction.

And here is how I use the same "repeatability" to unify science and canine training:

Anybody who wants to repeat an experiment in modern subatomic physics has to undergo many years of training. Only then will he or she be able to ask nature a specific question through the experiment and to understand the answer. Similarly, a sophisticated canine trick requires, generally, many years [okay, months!] of training under an experienced master, and, as in the scientific training, the dedicated time does not alone guarantee success. If the dog is successful, however, it will be able to `repeat the trick.' The repeatability of the trick is, in fact, essential to every canine training and is the very aim of the dog's physical instruction.

Fritjof Capra wrote the definitive book, Tao of Physics, on physics-mysticism connection. His background in theoretical high energy physics helps him persuade his readers to accept his narrative, which focuses on a defunct theory called bootstrap hypothesis. This theory -- which has produced no mentionable results -- glorifies the holistic approach and abhors the successful reductionst standard model of elementary particles and fields. Tao of Physics is filled with faulty logic, erroneous claims, and outright misinformation, some of which are discussed in Chapters 7, 9, and 10 of Quanta in Distress.

Even metaphors are not immune from Capra's desperate attempts at unifying physics with mysticism. He begins Chapter 4 of the first edition of Tao of Physics with how a "direct mystical experience ... shakes the very foundation of one's world view." Then he quotes a Zen master describing such an experience as "the bottom of a pail breaking through." Later, he quotes Heisenberg describing modern physics: "The violent reaction on the recent development of modern physics can only be understood when one realizes that here the foundations of physics have started moving; and that this motion has caused the feeling that the ground would be cut from science." Capra's conclusion: Zen master's "the bottom of a pail breaking through" and Heisenberg's "the ground would be cut from science" sound similar; therefore, there is a parallel between modern physics and Eastern mysticism.

The Eastern mystics repeatedly insist on the fact that [the absolute knowledge of] the ultimate reality can never be an object of reasoning or of demonstrable knowledge. It can never be adequately described by words, because it lies beyond the realms of the senses and of the intellect from which our words and concepts are derived.

Eastern mystics' absolute knowledge of ultimate reality:

Western children's absolute belief in Santa Claus:

The Western children repeatedly insist on the fact that Santa Claus can never be an object of reasoning or of demonstrable knowledge. He can never be adequately described by words as to how he climbs millions of chimneys in one night, because he lies beyond the realms of the senses and of the intellect from which our words and concepts are derived.

It is not hard to imagine the leader of a terrorist organization saying "the ground will be cut from the enemy" -- because it is a widely used metaphor -- when promoting their political goal. Why, then, could we not conclude that there is a parallel between terrorism and Eastern mysticism?
