The subtler one's awareness, the more powerfully it can heal.

What happens is consciousness operates in mysterious ways. One of those ways is that the old paradigm suddenly starts to die.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Consciousness can bring about significant changes in perception and understanding, causing old ways of thinking to fade away.
In this quote, Deepak Chopra suggests that consciousness is a powerful force that can operate in ways we may not fully understand. When consciousness shifts, it can lead to the dissolution of outdated paradigms or belief systems, prompting individuals and society as a whole to evolve and embrace new perspectives and truths. This transformation is often mysterious and may occur without overt awareness.

According to Vedanta, there are only two symptoms of enlightenment, just two indications that a transformation is taking place within you toward a higher consciousness. The first symptom is that you stop worrying. Things don't bother you anymore. You become light hearted and full of joy. The second symptom is that you encounter more and more meaningful coincidences in your life, more and more synchronicities. And this accelerates to the point where you actually experience the miraculous.

I will practice acceptance. Today I will accept people, situations, circumstances, and events as they occur. I will know that this moment is as it should be, because the whole universe is as it should be. I will not struggle against the whole universe by struggling against this moment. My acceptance is total and complete. I accept things as they are this moment, not as I wish they were.

Spirituality is rebellion; religiousness is orthodoxy. Spirituality is individuality; religiousness is just remaining part of the crowd psychology. Religiousness keeps you a sheep, and spirituality is a lion's roar.
