What if this was really what you thought?

What if this was something you had totally incorporated into your system and you trully thought this way? How would your life be different?

"I am the dharma. My thoughts and actions serve a universal purpose. The next thing I desire turns out to be the best thing I could want for myself and my surroundings. I make no mistakes because the cosmic computer is never wrong. If moments of randomness or accidents occur, they serve a deeper purpose that I will eventually discover."

Funny thing is I was having second thoughts about bloggin this... you know the kind? "Is this a good post?" "should I bother to mention Chopra yet again!"... etc... then again, all I had to do was re-read the statement and here comes the post!  guilt-free, pain-free, on purpose

I came accross this last night while reading Malika Chopra's website: Intent. In it, Somebody posed Deepak Chopra the universal question of debate: how do we know if our intent is coming from EGO GRATIFICATION as opposed to BEING ALIGNED WITH THE DIVINE PURPOSE?

The quote above is step number five in how we get to let go and trust the process, how we get to know that we are in the flow. The previous steps were equally interesting, and I find myself usually between 3 and 4:

1. I'm doing this. It's all up to me. I'm in control. I fear lack of control. Nobody can defy the laws of Nature and the constant reminders of accident and mistakes.

2. I seem to have a little backup. I work hard to get what I want, but occasionally when things are out of my control an invisible helping hand -- call it fate or luck -- reaches down. I wish I knew more about this backup. It's more like a curious anomaly than anything I can rely on.

3. My sense of control is being replaced by a sense of flow. I am sometimes on automatic pilot, yet life goes on very well. I feel safer, more relaxed, less vigilant. I worry much less about accidents and mistakes. The invisible hand seems to be guiding my life more and more.

4. Everything happens for a reason. I can't fathom the whole picture, but clearly there's a grand design. I am included in that design, and this realization has changed my whole perspective. I see no need to struggle. I do more watching, less efforting. Strangely, this doesn't mean I have become passive. I feel more energy and wider possibilities than I did when I had to do everything myself.

Can you identify with any of the steps?
