| Brain researchers have caught epileptic seizures on their scans, another instance where patients report unearthly feelings and losing identity. But such examples do not account for the sacred response, as I will call it. Altered brain waves and subjective reports do not capture the mind�s ability to comprehend wholeness. Objectively this state goes beyond miracles in that the person does nothing to affect reality except look at it, yet in that looking the laws of nature shift more profoundly than in miracles. |
I paraphrased the underlined part as follows. Does it make a sense?
" Objectively this state goes beyond miracles in that the person does nothing to affect reality except look at it. But the laws of nature change more deeply than in miracles in that looking."
Thanks. |

If you put "in that looking" before "than in miracles", rather than after, then it reads fine and is a good paraphrase of the original.
I must admit, I'm fascinated by the text you're reading. Is it generally available?
Best wishes,
Ian

He's apparently been reading this: http://www.avatargroup.ru/Biblioteka/Dipak_Chopra_-_How_to_know_GOD_%28na_anglijskom%29.aspx
(Stage 7 has the above quote)
You can always check by copying part of the thing you want to check, and putting it in quotes in Google. I googled "But such examples do not account for the sacred response, as I will call it." to find the above, as an example. Then I used the "find" in my browser to get to the right page. |

Your first sentence...Objectively this state goes beyond miracles in that the person does nothing to affect reality except look at it�is NOT a paraphrase but copied word for word. If you are using it in an essay of your own, then you must put it in quotes and give credit to the author. I won't even comment on the quality of the text...
