The First Spiritual Law of Success
The first spiritual law of success
is the law of pure potentiality.
This law is based on the fact that we are, in our essential state,
pure consciousness.
Pure consciousness is pure potentiality;
it is the field of all possibilities and infinite creativity.
Pure consciousness is our spiritual essence.
Being infinite and unbounded, it is also pure joy.
Other attributes of consciousness are
pure knowledge, infinite silence, perfect balance, invincibility,
simplicity, and bliss.
This is our essential nature.
Our essential nature is one of pure potentiality.
~Deepak Chopra

We Can Choose How We View The World
"One thing we can do is make the choice to view the world in a healthy way. We can choose to see the world as safe with only moments of danger rather than seeing the world as dangerous with only moments of safety."

How to Heal the Earth
Adapted from Peace is the Way, by Deepak Chopra (Three Rivers Press, 2005).
When there are enough people who have healed themselves, the environment will also mirror that.
I am not speaking of policy changes and adopting the Kyoto accord. Nature is a living expression of consciousness. It adapts to our evolution as we adapt to it. That relationship, as with everything in the tangled hierarchy, is reciprocal and interdependent.
It’s disturbing that so much of the New Age thought is centered on catastrophic earth changes, such as earthquakes and depleted ozone layer. This kind of prophetic negativity cannot attain a good end. It encourages the prophecy to come true when what we want to do is exactly the opposite.
The principle to keep in mind is that consciousness wants to evolve. Therefore it is much easier to encourage healing than to align yourself with disease. Love and respect for the environment would create a reversal of the spiraling deterioration in the physical world. We need to trust that this is true, because in a very real sense the environment is sustained by human awareness.
If you align your awareness with catastrophe, nature will factor those thoughts as your vote for the future. The peace movement can align itself with a healed planet, adding millions of votes to that side. And since our votes carry depth of awareness, they will be far stronger than any thoughtless vote for destruction.

Connecting Body/Mind/Spirit
Adapted from The Essential Ageless Body, Timeless Mind, by Deepak Chopra (Harmony Books, 2007).
Nature brought mind, body, and spirit into balance as co-creators of our personal reality.
Only if you feel sure of your place in the universe can you begin to face the fact that you are surrounded by creation and destruction as they constantly play themselves out. You cannot defeat entropy as a physical force, but you can rise up to a level of realization that is not touched by entropy.
In the midst of change, there are five realizations that entropy cannot touch. They are expressed in every spiritual tradition and form the core of personal evolution age after age.
- I am spirit.
- This moment is as it should be.
- Uncertainty is part of the overall order of things.
- Change is infused with non-change.
- Entropy holds no threat because it is under the control of infinite organizing power.
These realizations are crucial because they allow a person to rise above the world of duality, which is inevitably caught up in the battle of creation and destruction.

4 Steps to Affluence
by Deepak Chopra
Adapted from Creating Affluence by Deepak Chopra (New World Library, 1998).
Why not adopt God as the role model of affluence? After all, no one is more affluent than God, for God is the field of all possibilities.
The Four Steps to Affluence
1. You slip into the gap between thoughts. The gap is the window, the corridor, the transformational vortex through which the personal psyche communicates with the cosmic psyche.
2. You have a clear intention of a clear goal in the gap.
3. You relinquish your attachment to the outcome, because chasing the outcome or getting attached to it entails coming out of the gap.
4. You let the universe handle the details.
One of the easiest and most effortless ways of slipping into the gap is through the process of meditation.
