“Through second attention, you can perceive yourself as awareness itself, not as one of its products or creations”. (Deepak Chopra)
First, the aim of nonviolence is ultimately to bring peace to yourself, to quell your own violence; the enemy outside serves only to mirror the enemy within. Second, your ability to be nonviolent depends on a shift in consciousness. Last, if you are successful in changing yourself, reality will mirror the change back to you. Deepak Chopra
“[Jesus's] doctrine of ‘the last shall be first’ was aimed at revealing a deeper truth, that spirit has been put last in the word and deserves to be first”. Deepak Chopra
