C. Sheldrake. Chopra

Here are some notable quotes from Deepak Chopra and Rupert Sheldrake that reflect their central themes in The Creative Play of Consciousness—consciousness as primary source, creativity, interconnectedness, and morphic resonance:

🧘 Deepak Chopra on Consciousness, Creativity & Reality

• “Only consciousness is conscious… Mind must create and govern the operation of the physical world. No other cause makes sense.”  
• “Unity consciousness is a state of enlightenment where we pierce the mask of illusion which creates separation and fragmentation… Behind the appearance of separation is one unified field of wholeness.”  
• “Spirit is often used interchangeably with the all‑pervading, universal nature of pure consciousness. Soul is generally understood to indicate the quality of individuation… The mind is where thoughts, feelings, and memories are projected and processed.”  
• “The most creative act you will ever undertake is the act of creating yourself.”  
• “People are doing the best that they can from their own level of consciousness.”  

🌌 Rupert Sheldrake on Morphic Resonance & Collective Mind

• “The universe is not in a steady state; there’s an ongoing creative principle in nature, which is driving things onwards.”  
• “Basically, morphic fields are fields of habit, and they’ve been set up through habits of thought, activity, and speech. Most of our culture is habitual…”  
• “What you do, what you say and what you think can influence other people by morphic resonance. There is no immoral filter in morphic resonance…”  
• “I argue that unexplained human abilities such as telepathy, the sense of being stared at, and premonition are not paranormal but normal—part of our biological nature…”  
• “Our minds are not confined within the boundaries of our skull, but extend beyond our bodies, connecting us with other minds and the larger web of consciousness.”  

🎯 Summary

• Chopra emphasizes consciousness as the foundation of reality, identity and creativity. His message: your awareness creates your world, and by transcending separation, you connect with universal wholeness.
• Sheldrake presents the idea of morphic resonance—a field of collective memory through which meaning, form, and influence pass—arguing that our minds and abilities go beyond individual brains.
