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

If we were able to live at the level of the soul all the time, there would be no need for hindsight to appreciate the great truths of life.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Living at the soul level allows for a deeper understanding of life, eliminating the need for hindsight.
Deepak Chopra's quote suggests that if we could consistently operate from our essence or 'soul,' we would naturally recognize and appreciate the profound truths of existence without the need for reflection or hindsight. This implies that a higher state of consciousness would grant us clarity and insight in our lives, making the lessons learned through experience unnecessary.

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.
Deepak ChopraRead
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.

All people are special, and all moments are golden. There is no person and there is no time more special than another. Many people choose to believe that God communicates in special ways and only with special people. This removes the mass of the people from responsibility for hearing God's message, much less receiving it (which is another matter), and allows them to take someone else's word for everything.
