The subtler one's awareness, the more powerfully it can heal.
Deepak ChopraRead
Karma, when properly understood, is just the mechanics through which consciousness manifests.
Interpretation
Karma is the process by which our actions shape our consciousness and experiences.
Deepak Chopra's quote suggests that karma is not simply a moral or spiritual concept, but rather a fundamental mechanism of existence. It implies that our thoughts and actions directly influence the manifestation of our reality and consciousness, highlighting the interconnectedness of our experiences and the outcomes they generate.
In practice
During a motivational speech on taking responsibility for one's actions.
The subtler one's awareness, the more powerfully it can heal.
To promote the healing response, you must get past all the grosser levels of the body - cells, tissues, organs and systems -- and arrive at a junction point between mind and matter, the point where consciousness actually starts to have an effect.
It is only because you take your mind to be yourself, and make it dwell on what you are not, that you lose your sense of well-being.
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.
One of the most salient features of our culture is that there is so much bullshit.
One cannot use an evil action with reference to a good intention.
Man, in spite of his fatal degradation, bears always the evident marks of his divine origin, in that every universal belief is always more or less true.
How loved, how honored once, avails thee not, To whom related, or by whom begot A heap of dust alone remains of thee 'Tis all thou art, and all the proud shall be!
Big ideas, big ambitious projects need to be embedded within culture at a level deeper than the political winds. It needs to be deeper than the economic fluctuations that could turn people against an expensive project because they're on an unemployment line and can't feed their families.
I'm too busy acting like I'm not Naive. I've seen it all, I was here first.
