The subtler one's awareness, the more powerfully it can heal.
Deepak ChopraRead
If the fate of the universe was decided in a single moment at the instant of the Big Bang , that was the most creative moment of all.
Interpretation
This quote highlights the significance of the Big Bang as the origin of everything, showcasing it as a moment of unparalleled creativity.
Deepak Chopra's quote emphasizes the idea that the Big Bang was not just a scientific event, but the most profound act of creation in the universe. It invites us to contemplate the enormity of that moment when time and space began, suggesting that all existence sprang from a singular point of creativity, thus framing the inception of the universe as a remarkable and unique phenomenon.
In practice
During a lecture on cosmology, I shared this quote to provoke thought about the origins of the universe.
The subtler one's awareness, the more powerfully it can heal.

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.

There are many people talking about access to space and, 'How can we make that cheaper? How can we turn that into a Southwest Airlines versus the big airlines?'
When the sun is sending more energy to earth in one hour than the entire world consumes in a year, any political play to undermine our ability to harness this energy effectively and efficiently is clearly not economical but it's also unethical.
