Some lovely words of wisdom:

* Most people have a time-bound awareness. And the reason is, they have sacrificed their self for their self-image.

* Time is inside of us, packaged as memory.

* Most people talk about fear of the unknown… if there is anything to fear, it is the known, because the known is the rigid pattern of past conditions. The unknown is the field of infinite possibilities. Go beyond the camouflage of past memories, and see the world with fresh eyes… through the eyes of a child, through the eyes of God.

* I am not my thoughts; I am the thinker who has those thoughts.

* My tormentor today is myself left over from yesterday.

* By allowing our judgements to cloud our present, we are no longer in touch with our reality.

* At every stage of growth, the greatest ally you have is your body. Live fully in the body. It is not a leaky boat that you hope will not sink before it gets you there. No!

* You see an apple pie; you take a slice. In that simple act, you are processing a piece of the world into yourself.

* A quiet mind is all you need.

* The deepest silence contains the most powerful form of awareness. Silent awareness seeks out the old wounds and begins to heal them.

* Nature functions through silent efficiency. Its called the principle of least action and maximum effectiveness. In nature there is no effort. We hardly see any effort in birds migrating.

* Do less, accomplish more. Ultimately, do nothing, and accomplish everything. The higher self is that place where everything is accomplished by doing nothing.

* When the mind is silent and quiet, then the inner energies wake up and work miracles on your behalf without any conscious efforts on your part. There are some things that require no work, and healing is one of them. Be easy with yourself, and the rest will unfold.

* We exist in order to actualize the deepest desires of our heart.

* If you earn the money yourself, in a fashion that increases your self-awareness, the belief that tied you to poverty will be weakened.

* An acceptance of reality: what is, is simply what is. You allow it, and enjoy it.

* “There is nothing in creation which is not myself.” - somewhere in the Upanishads

* If I can change my consciousness - and if the world is made of the same stuff as my mind - then I can change the world.

* To have to have a past, you have to have a space for it. The relationship between me and myself is far too close to leave any room for a past.

These 12 cd/tape program is one of Deepaks earlier works .. For myself it was a good beginning intro into this field and how the mind thinks - as we try to tap into our higher selves - one must study way beyond this and consistently to get a true grasp of what's being taught

...as he does have more work on this field ...I'd find it hard to imagine for anyone to grasp it well based on this program alone even if u have checked out his other work from around the same time

Anyone agree or got more recommendations from him or elsewhere?

To Our Continued Success!

Desde el punto de vista técnico del libro, éste es una compilación de otros tres audiolibros del autor: Cómo Crear Abundancia; Amor, Erotismo e Intimidad y; Cuerpo Sin Edad, Mente Sin Tiempo. Si bien, pudiera parecer aburrido que se presenten estos tres en uno sólo, en realidad no es así, pues más allá de ser un Copy & Paste, rescata lo mejor de cada uno y mantiene un flujo lógico de ideas adecuado haciendo referencia al tema de "El Ser Superior", aquel que habita dentro de nosotros y al mismo tiempo somos nosotros, pero que se mantiene velado por los condicionamientos de la propia mente y los demás.

This book opens up other ways of viewing how we think, form opinions and act on them. Depak Chopra, M.D. says this will bring one to a state nearer fulfillment, peace and good health. It sounds easy enough, until you try to do it. Still, it is worth the effort.

I truly believe that people can heal themselves and guide their futures with just a thought. This book just adds a bit more science to my belief in the force.
