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 When consciousness shifts, it can lead to the dissolution of outdated paradigms or belief systems, prompting individuals and society as a whole to evolve and embrace new perspectives and truths.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.

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.
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.

Instead of gambling on the eternal impossibility of the revolution and on the fascist return of a war-machine in general, why not think that a new type of revolution is in the course of becoming possible, and that all kinds of mutating, living machines conduct wars, are combined and trace out a plane of consistance which undermines the plane of organization of the World and the States?
