I have copied this from the Wild Divine siteSignals from spirit all serve the same purpose: to give you back your life as a creator.
If spirit is sending signals to you, how can you heed them? From a spiritual viewpoint you are always a creator. The tiniest situation in your life is not made “out there” but “in here,” from the source of reality, which is awareness. People who believe that the material world is causing things to happen are simply unconscious creators—they haven’t taken responsibility for being authors of their own lives.
Second attention (a connection with your spirit which attunes you to things your senses cannot grasp) gives you the ability to take authorship of your life, putting you at the center of the daily process of making the reality you perceive. Since all of us are conditioned to believe that nature operates independently of what we think, wish, dream, and feel, reclaiming authorship of our reality is a gradual process that is fostered by our ability to be present to our intentions, moment by moment.
To cultivate your connection to spirit, hold these 5 cardinal beliefs in mind:
1. I am an empty vessel. Inspiration fills me every day, but I am not here to hold onto anything that comes to me.
2. I am here to pass energy from one state to another. Hopefully, I move it from a lower to a higher state, since my purpose is to direct everything toward spirit.
3. I do not have to control the flow of reality, I bend where spirit bids me.
4. The fullness of spirit, not my ego, provides.
5. If I live from the source of creation, only good can come to me. Everything from spirit comes from love.
Getting to these beliefs and making them work for you is a goal that spirit can help you with: Imagine yourself as an empty vessel and let spirit fill you in this—and every— moment.
Love,
Deepak

Chopra's work is interesting and I've found it useful and enlightening on occasion in helping me find my way to better ways of seeing my path. If you find his way of seeing "reality" of some help, you may also find Colin Tipping's "Radical Forgiveness" of interest. Try the homepage at

It is a slightly different variation on this theme and one that I've not found in exactly this form elsewhere.

Yes, sue (swan), I am one of those who finds it difficult to hold grudges. I have read through most of the website you refer to, some years ago, and find myself in agreement with it. I have for a long time thought that it is better to assume that we create our own lives, therefore it doesn't make sense for me to blame others for what happens to me. So in the end, there is nothing to forgive! Except oneself, I suppose, but that doesn't feel like quite the same thing.
