“As is the atom, so is the universe. As is the microcosm, so is the macrocosm. As is the human body, so is the cosmic body. As is the human mind, so is the cosmic mind. If something is inside here, it’s everywhere. If it's not here, it's nowhere. You, by going inside, can have access to all the knowledge in the whole universe.” – Deepak Chopra

“The old paradigm said that human beings are self-contained; we are all independent. But, the new one says that human beings are focal points in one unified field. Unified means everything. Space, time, energy, information, and matter are all part of the field and we are inseparably connected with the pattern of intelligence and the whole cosmos. We are all a web of relationships.”  – Deepak Chopra
