Basic premise
:

" Health and illness in the human body are controlled by awareness at the level of quantum physics, where mind and body are one, where matter and energy are interchangeable.

"It is easier for patients to believe that forces outside themselves are responsible for their illness. But as long as they remain entrenched in that belief system, then the solution to cancer and heart disease and degenerative disorders is not going to be forthcoming. You can only bypass the coronary artery so many times; it keeps getting blocked because the source of illness is within.

"Losing the memory of who we really are can bring about disease, since the impulses of intelligence and consciousness translate into physiological responses. Happier people are healthier than unhappy people, and the reason for unhappiness in the Ayurvedic tradition is loss of contact with the source of happiness, the self, which means lack of contact with the source of everything in nature. It is the loss of unity consciousness.

"It is the memory that is lost. When you lose the memory that you are the Programmer who writes the program for the whole universe, including yourself and all your feelings, you become insecure. With that comes separation, fragmentation, hostility, anxiety, fear. And the brain chemistry corresponding to all this translates into high blood pressure, inappropriate cortisol responses from the adrenal glands, and an ineffective immune system.

"Once you understand what the discovery of neuropeptides means, then understanding the quantum is only a step further. The discovery of neuropeptides was so significant because it showed that the body is fluid enough to match the mind. The neuropeptide isn't a thought, yet moves with thought, serving as a point of transformation. The quantum does exactly the same thing, except that the body in question is the universe, or nature as a whole.

"Our whole physiology can be transformed as quickly as a neuropeptide, which is an integral part of the quantum mechanical body. Because we can change like quicksilver, the flowing quality of life is natural to us. The material body is a river of atoms, the mind is a river of thought, and what holds them together is a river of intelligence. To be like the quantum, the body does not have to banish its molecules to another dimension; it has only to learn to re-form them into new chemical patterns. It is these patterns that jump in and out of existence. This opens the door for quantum healing, for use of mental techniques to control the invisible patterns that order the body."

"At the level of unity consciousness, the patient is myself, and if we are moving toward that level, of course, the patient is responsible, but so am I. The patient and I are part of the same organism. This is about a level of consciousness where we feel compassion because we really are part of the same organism. And we must feel that, it will trigger the healing process. Truly, no doctor heals, he just sets into motion the healing mechanism within the patient. Real power comes from love and compassion, from non-violence. Non-violence has an infinite correlation in nature; it is the stream of compassion that runs in nature. Until we can make non-violence a living, physiological reality, we will have disease".

"The commonsense idea of local reality is true only at a certain level. The whole of reality, as explained by quantum physics, lies deeper. Bell's theorem holds that the reality of the universe must be nonlocal; in other words, all objects and events in the cosmos are interconnected with one another and respond to one another's changes in state. As Arthur Eddington quipped decades earlier, 'When the electron vibrates, the universe shakes'. David Bohm, who worked extensively with the implications of Bell's theorem, supposes that there is an 'invisible field' that holds all of reality together, a field that possesses the property of knowing what is happening everywhere at once. Chopra speculates that the invisible field sounds very much like the underlying intelligence in DNA.

"No one has yet been able to grasp how the cascade of chemicals exactly patterns itself to do all the things a mind can do. Memory, recollection, dreaming, and all the other everyday activities of the mind remain a profound mystery as far as their physical mechanics is concerned. But we now know that the mind and body are like parallel universes, and the latest discoveries in neurobiology build an even stronger case for the parallel universes of mind and body. Anything that happens in the mental universe must leave tracks in the physical one.

"Like a hologram, your body is the physical picture in three dimensions of your thoughts. This is not too noticeable, as the physical outline of the body does not change drastically with every thought. We also don't see our bodies as projected thoughts because many physical changes involve minute alterations of cell chemistry, which don't register on our focus of attention. However the body is fluid enough to mirror any mental event. Nothing can move without moving the whole."
(Chopra, p. 53-4, 63-70, 95, 108-10, 130-1)
