Soul Deepak Chopra says that in order to get in touch with your soul you must learn your deepest desire. Soul or spirit is found in the space between our thoughts. The thinker is the soul and the difference between my thoughts and your thoughts is probability aptitude. And probability aptitude is created by Karma. Which is to say, my past and consequently my lessons in this lifetime create a probability towards certain outcomes specific to my journey.
Intent has infinet organizing power to orchestrate space time events of self actualized people.
In simpler terms, thoughts are things. Once you realize the need for change your thoughts set in motion intent to change so things change. Detached from the outcome of events that occur. Have no investment in power over others. Deepak Chopra's books and lectures offer us a new perspective.
