Every spiritual tradition has this idea of death and resurrection. It's not unique to Christianity.
Deepak ChopraYour entire universe is in your mind and nowhere else. To expand the universe, expand your mind.
Deepak ChopraWhen you expand your awareness, seemingly random events will be seen to fit into a larger purpose.
Deepak ChopraWhenever we experience an event, whether we're visiting the dentist or taking a dream vacation, our consciousness registers that experience internally on a spectrum with great pain at one end and extreme pleasure at the other. Once completed, the memory of that experience is tagged to either pain or pleasure, and it continues to exist in our bodymind.
Deepak ChopraThere is more and more data that the biological molecules of aging are more under the influence of psychological factors than the chronological age that we usually associate with. Of course there are other things that influence our aging process, including how we perceive time. If you're constantly running out of time, then your biological clock speeds up, and you do run out of time with a heart attack or something like that. The quality of our self-esteem determines how we age. Our perception of our bodies as fields of energy or fields of matter influence how our body ages.
