Deepak Chopra quotes about
blew brother forty minutes rifle roof rounds sky ten thrilled took
My grandfather took me and my brother to the roof of his house, ... He took out his rifle and he blew rounds into the sky for ten minutes to celebrate. Then he took his bugle out and he blasted the whole neighborhood with his bugle, he was so thrilled about his son. Then he took us to the circus, and then he took us to the movie 'Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves.'

Simplicity is cosmic, because it places our life on the same scale as all life, of innocent Nature herself, who is all-powerful.
expression giving dignity
To graciously receive is an expression of the dignity of giving.
names giving devil
God gave humans the truth, and the devil came and he said, 'Let's give it a name and call it religion.'
dream giving over-you
It would be helpful if the universe would give us one big clue, or a giant compass, if you will, pointing to the direction we should be taking. In fact, the compass is there. To find it, you need only look inside yourself to discover your soul's purest desire, its dream for your life.
hands law creating
In the face of nature's overwhelming forces, humans needed a God who would protect them from harm. When they felt that they had broken the law or committed wrongdoing, people turned to a God who would judge them on the one hand and redeem their sins on the other. In this way, purely from slef-interest, the project of creating God in our own image proceeded--and continues to proceed.
mother real father
Each person is entitled to some version of God that seems real, yet many versions contradict one another. The God of any religion is only a fragment of God. This has to be true, because a being who is unbounded has no image, no role to play, no location either inside or outside the cosmos, whereas religions offer many images--father, mother, lawgiver, judge, ruler of the universe.
divinity unfolding miraculous
True success is ... the experience of the miraculous. It is the unfolding of the divinity within us.
