Chopra on multidimensionality

Quantum events that defy linear time
Take place within our cells continually.
DNA’s intelligence operates simultaneously
In the past, present, and future.

From the past it takes the blueprint of life,
Applying to the present only the tiniest fraction
Of the information needed for cellular function
(perhaps a billionth of its total data base),
And reserving for the future the information
That will be relevant years from now.

The double helix is the quantum storehouse of your future;
Here time is compressed and locked away until needed.
At the instant you were conceived, your genes gained control
Of an entire lifetime of events that would unfold in precise sequence.
At the quantum level, you live all these ages at once.

At this moment you are in two places at once.
One is the visible, sensual world, where your body is subject
to all the forces of nature “out there.”
But you also occupy the quantum world, where all things change.

Put together all the quantum events in your cells
And the sum total is your quantum mechanical body,
Which operates according to its own unseen physiology.
Your quantum mechanical body is awareness in motion
And is part of the eternal field of awareness that exists
At the source of creation.

The intelligence inside us radiates like light,
Crossing the border between the quantum world
And the physical world, unifying the two
In a constant subatomic dialogue.

Your physical body and your quantum mechanical body
Can both be called home–
They are like parallel universes that you travel between
Without even thinking about it.
