Answer 1

I can go to my grave. I've heard it all now. Are you kidding?

Answer 2

Who is Deepak Chopra?

Answer 3

I would be honored to be in his presence! His philosophic views reflect the lost views the Egyptians severed between the Jews/Christians and their brothers in the believe of the one true God in the Indian Sub-Continent!
What they refer to as the Atman, we call the Holy Spirit!
What they call the Prakrit Self we call the Soul!
The amount that can be learned and compared is a life's work!
I am a Basilian taught Catholic! I am also "Open" to learning!
Question is, which of the rest of you are willing to admit you were not born with the full knowledge of life?

Oh, Hi you Evangelicals! Forgot you know exactly when Adam and Eve lived! LMFAO!!!!

Answer 4

I've not read any of his books, although I would like to. My sister has got a couple of his books and thinks he talks a lot of sense. She would say she's just a believer in spiritual things rather than being part of a religion.

Answer 5

He basically rips off the beliefs of Vedic and other eastern mysticism and rebrands it as his. He is a great self promoter and more of a marketing guru than a spiritual guru.

I think Oprah should marry him and become Oprah Chopra.

One has to uproot ones prejudice. Instead of destroying our prejudices, more often we tend to whitewash them and make them look like principles.

Every one is a philosopher in some way or the other. Philosophy means a view of life. Every one has a view of life. One has to learn to transform one’s view of life to a better way of living. Or else one will ask wrong questions and reach wrong conclusions, which becomes one’s view of life.

Don’t be like a deaf person asking what music is all about. Instead ask the right question - as how can one heal one’s hearing. So just having a view of life is not wise. Instead be an inner transformer. That is being truly spiritual. Then you are both a philosopher and spiritual. A spiritual person transforms his inner being.

Some specific do-ables in the light of the above:

To live is to be related. Every relationship has three factors, the relator, what he relates to and the connection between the two - the relationship. In other words, life is a series of experiences. There is the experiencer, the experienced and the connection between these two called experiences.

The quality of life is the quality of your relationships, the quality of your experiences. So if you relate harmoniously, life is harmonious. Let your experiences be harmonious in order to make life harmonious. How to keep it harmonious is an art one has to learn.

First tip in wise living is to decide to be happy. You get what you focus on. Focus on being happy rather than wanting to be happy. Be in the “being” domain rather than the “wanting” domain. We are lost in ‘wanting’ and never experience ‘having-ness’.

Let your life be a decision that you would be happy.

Understand that your worst enemy is your decision and your best friend is also your decision. Your worst enemy cannot injure you as much as your thoughts and decisions injure you. So keep yourself guarded inwardly. No one can help you as much as your inner decision. So decide to be happy in the domain of ‘being’ and not wanting.

More often, we suffer from thought attack rather than heart attack.

Answer 7

Im an atheist.

I used to be intrigued by many of his ideas. Then I saw him on the Colbert Report, where he was asked if he considers himself a Prophet. His response was "Yes, of course Im a profit. I make alot of money from my books."

True and mildly amusing, yes. Telling much about his inner self...also a yes....

Answer 8

agnostic----he is full of existential twaddle. should be a regular on Oprah like that other "expert" Dr. phil. the whole lot of them make me sick. but people are so desperate for someone else to solve their problems for them that they turn these self-proclaimed blow-hards into millionaires

Answer 9

I'm an atheist, and he's full of ****. He's the one responsible for everyone trying to use quantum mechanics to explain why their theory works when there's no connection and their theory doesn't work anyway.

Answer 10

I looked for his book, "Life after Death" at Walden Books and didn't find it. I still want to read it.
