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.

Chopra on the force of love

The force of love is actually real.
In modern life we have grown used to randomness,
To the notion that life is precarious
And threatened at every turn.

But the history of life shows that it has survived
For billions of years; in fact it seems to create conditions
For its own survival by means of some deep intelligence
That is never threatened.

No matter how hostile the conditions,
Life is inextinguishable.

You can apply this insight to your own life.
Imagine its very beginning,
When against billions of odds
A single sperm managed to fertilize an ovum
In your mother’s womb.

Your present identity depends entirely on that act.
The chances against this single occurrence
Would make it seem impossible,
But it happened effortlessly.

Likewise, there have been millions
Of assaults against you from the environment:
From pollution and radiation,
Even from random mutations within your cells;
Any one of these could have ended
Your chances of survival
At any time from conception to the present day.

Yet the intelligence and organizing power inside you
Has overcome these obstacles with effortless ease,
Despite all the struggle your conscious mind
Could not anticipate or plan how to conceive life,
Keep it going, or defend it from such terrible dangers.

Now, if this effortless ease can operate
At the unconscious and cellular level,
Why not on the conscious?

Can you see yourself riding the crest of the wave of life?
In fact, that is what you are doing at every moment.

Your personal impulses to think, feel, and act
Are like the crest of a wave,
Constantly falling forward into the future,
Yet constantly renewed form below –
The surge of love that constantly upholds life
Is like the surge of the ocean that renews each wave.

Seeing this is the beginning of trust.
In the light of trust, as it develops slowly over time,
You will find that you are a privileged child of the universe,
Entirely safe, entirely supported, entirely loved.

The Stag Beetle, A. Crowley

Death implies change and individuality
If thou be THAT which hath no person,
Which is beyond the changing,
Even beyond changelessness,
What hast thou to do with death?

The bird of individuality is ecstasy;
So also is its death.
In love the individuality is slain;
Who loves not love?

Love death therefore,
And long eagerly for it.
Die Daily.
