The subtler one's awareness, the more powerfully it can heal.
Deepak ChopraRead
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 When consciousness shifts, it can lead to the dissolution of outdated paradigms or belief systems, prompting individuals and society as a whole to evolve and embrace new perspectives and truths.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.

The most creative act you will ever undertake is the act of creating yourself.

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.

I threw up again that night, half-afraid that my eyeballs would explode. But it was, by far, more important that I get rid of dinner. Of course, by then, throwing up was the only way I knew how to deal with fear. That paradox would begin to run my life: to know that what you are doing is hurting you, maybe killing you, and to be afraid of that fact--but to cling to the idea that this will save you, it will, in the end, make things okay.

Now if I believe in God's Son and remember that He became man, all creatures will appear a hundred times more beautiful to me than before. Then I will properly appreciate the sun, the moon, the stars, trees, apples, as I reflect that he is Lord over all things. ...God writes the Gospel, not in the Bible alone, but also on trees, and in the flowers and clouds and stars.
