Love One Love All

Deepak Chopra was in town on the weekend. He is a medical doctor who was one of the first to introduce new science to the world and to show how science actually supports a lot of things that many of us have known instinctively but which seem to defy both logic and the accepted rules of physical reality.

But it was the very injustice that made me think that the Universe has plans for my friend – and they are much bigger and more exciting than the situation she is currently in.

And that is how the Universe works. If we don’t make the move or the changes ourselves – fear and complacency are strong forces for inertia – then the Universe will make them for us. (more…)
