I don't understand what people who have nde mean when they say when being out of their body they experience timelessness. Yet they go on to explain what it's like to be out of their body saying first I was here, then I was there. Isn't that time? One moment you're out of the body, and then the next moment you're going through a tunnel. That's basically still being in a realm filled with time.
@cheeriosinabowl Why don't you expand your understanding of things or seek another teacher? You want it simple, look up videos like the meaning of life in 13 minutes (very easy to understand) and explaining the 10th dimension (a little more nerdy) and you will have all the base concepts of chopra and many other of the modern "enlightened" people.
@cheeriosinabowl so that must be the truth then, ha? oh boy, I wish you all the best with your comprehending of the world 'cause with so stupid attitude you gonna need all the luck you can get.
.... YOU are calling me stupid? Look at the maturity level of your post to me. Totally rude and insulting for no reason at all. Learn to respect other's opinions -- that is maturity. You make yourself look stupid with what you wrote!
@cheeriosinabowl bye hypocrat that shits on other people with idiotic arguments and calling me rude.... and I know you're not stupid, the real You I mean. it's just your stupid ego.
I love Deepak to death but it's kinda funny how him and dawkins go back and forth with their debates, trying to figure out what it all means. Why can't we just live and not try to break down WHY we live?
@rollinghills22 Chopra understands everything about Dawkins' materialistic worldview, while Dawkins is not capable of comprehending what Chopra is talking about. There is no real exchange between them.
@Gwisss As the quantum physics states particle matter can have dual existence and still be related though they are afar by millions of light years. by this, the Universe need no brain for "consciousness" but is a reflection of the "consciousness" of our own brain. so, simply you are conscious cause the universe is so n vice versa.
well said about Richard Dawkins, all this people like Dawkings, Charles Darwin, Stephen Hawking are just ignorant idiots, who think that the universe has no conscious, well how can the universe create us to have conscious, if the universe is not conscious itself, is imposible.
@radev87 "What Can Be Asserted Without Evidence Can Be Dismissed Without Evidence" - Christopher Hitchens
All of the studies I've read in Neuroscience is enough to demonstrate that "consciousness" is a product of the brain. You are simply not talking about consciousness in the way it is defined if you think the Universe has "consciousness". The Universe would require a brain in order to be conscious. You seem more fitting of the status of "ignorant idiot"...
life is what it is, not what he says it is!! he goes on about conciousness the universe & having no fear, yet he still lives under the same means as everybody else, money, if he truly belived that shit he was coming out with he wouldnt need to sell books, but give them, nor would he need all that money, these story's as lame as religion or anyone else's game-agenda ect.
@shapein -- Consciousness and memory is not local to the brain. It is only the biological brain which is local as the Receiver of Consciousness. There are mountains of evidence that show that the brain does not produce consciousness nor can memory be found in the biological brain. Anesthesia or sleep or even biological death only interferes with the reception of Consciousness but does not alter or destroy it.
@shapein you and dmhewey gave me a thought. u say u lose consciousness under anaesthesia and some phases of sleep.dmhewey says the biological brain is the receiver of consciousness.Have either of you had a lucid dream before? If not,once you become lucid in a dream, i find it very hard to stay asleep. You are almost forced to wake up.So my thought is that the two are one in the same.so it may be possible that during sleep that switch is turned off butitcanbeturnedonwhichconfusesthebiologicalbra
"Fundamentalists in science are more dangerous than fundamentalists in religion"? C'mon, Deepak, I don't remember any scientists flying planes into buildings.
Deepak Chopra has no point in anything he propounds. None of what he says makes a lick of sense by any stretch of the imagination. People are buying a book which allegedly passes for philosophical "academia," and Deepak is laughing his way to the bank. What a walking contradiction. Have you ever heard of a steak eating vegetarian?
Dawkins ideas are hard for some to accept because he attacks the security we get from believing in some supreme being who is protecting us and he really does not give us an alternative to cling to. Most people want to believe that there is something out there who gives a damn
i loved him taking it on dawkins, dawkins uses science to rationalize his atheistic religion he will never admit on how corrupt the science is, science has become another religion.
he says that he is not materialistic and when he buys something he give the same to someone else too. ok good. but on the other hand, his books and cds are fuckin expenssive. he has a lot of money.dont you think that he should sell his knowlege just for few bucks (that covers te cost) that will really help people.
fuck man, these people make money out of grief and pain of people.
i am a fan of deepak. but i think he uses fancy phrases and words to cover himself. He says that there is a god. and if you beleive in god then you have to beleive that he created the universe. ok, then he says that there was not starts of universe and there will be no end. here he admits that god is not a creator of universe. then to cover himself in this video he says that God didnt created the universe but he became the universe. now, what the heck is that suppose to mean.
@OjeeO 'God' is just a word. Is this 'God' you talk about an old white man with a beard, or a young black woman? Try looking into quantum physics/mechanics.
You I find this banter(so to speak)between Dawkins and Chopra really Ironic since they share lots of views. They both just atack religion head on with no apologies and believe in unity and understanding and stuff. I honestly don't really see many differences between them
My whole outlook on religion and spiritualtiy changed after our pregnant 22 yr Daughter was killed in a car accident 2 years ago. One wants to believe that you will meet again. and it would be nice to know that her spirit is around us and that she can hear us when we talk to her. But then again... I think we live and we die that's all their is ashes to ashes and dust to dust. who knows.
@seattle0002 I totally agree! Many users on youtube personally insulted me when I commented that belief in science constituted a kind of faith, and did not exclude the risk of 'religious' fundamentalism and fanaticism.
As a journalist, I think the interviewer did a VERY good job. Some are commenting that he sounded stupid. I say he was asking the questions that the typical laymen ask, and that's what journalism is all about. The interview was smooth, and both men were quite comfortable. Good interview.
meditation has enabled knowledge for me to better understand the equation e=mc2 , where energy is equal to mass times the speed of light multiplied by itself. Energy and Mass are two different manifestations for the same thing, and we are apart of that same thing like a drop in the ocean, if you want to be enlightened learn about mediation, and anything else you can think of in the world, learn to focus on main energy points or chakras in the body when meditating, quiet your mind, but stay awake
Great stuff! I spent many years struggling over many of these new concepts and ideas that you will never really learn much of in school. I then realize after a lot of studying that they are all run by the "big boys" and by money and materialism. Each and all of us are truly special and infinite souls and like the the master of masters says..."the key to life is through death"! ;) (The Emerald Tablets of Thoth)
@falkon14 thats tha mystery haha like he said your ignorant about it bcause your scared of death and the biggest mystery behind it dont matter what he say he dont know tha truth but he puts things in perspective for us the living wait till you die to have your perspective of the truth.. it goes on wether you like it or not..
We were born against our will so the point is to just go along for the ride and make this life whatever we want it to be. And then wait to die which will then take us into our next journey. But the secret to it all is that we have free will the whole time to make this life and any other one what we want it to be. The challenge is to surpass the limits, lies, and problems imposed on us by society and the rest of the world.
deepak chopra has a good perception on life, that's the thing, you can choose wich perception you can take ( the one of richard dawkins is kind of sad, i feel). and the interviewer was very good with his questions
I do love the scientific terms used to try and explain what Scientists are not at all 100% sure about. On the other hand we have all the religions speaking about immortality but we've gotta follow their "truth" otherwise we're going to experience the eternal death. Between Religion & Science I chose Freedom so none of them can brainwash me again. Yes we are immortals because I can't believe in randoms yet our souls haven't anything to do with Churches nor Labs.
Why not use science to prove life after death, rather than having science disprove it. I don't think there is a bright line between science and spirituality.
Science deals with the material, and it is difficult to prove the material (tangible evidence) with the immaterial (ie. life after death). It seems scientific technology is in it infancy when it comes to trying to prove what cannot be perceived with all senses.
" Why not use science to prove life after death, rather than having science disprove it. I don't think there is a bright line between science and spirituality. "
Maybe not with modern western religions and theologies but learn about spiritual walks such as Buddhism where science and spirituality amazingly converge sometimes beyond belief.
Deepak Chopra, his ignorance of science is so evident when he talks about science. He would do himself well, to avoid attempting to argue against science, and just continue selling his new age nonsense to the fools.
I was an atheist until I realised I was 'god'. Quantum Physics holds the answer, we are all divine, the concept of the universal mind and the truth of infinite conciousness. Quantum mechanics draws this ivevitible conclusion.
His point of view is the same that is sustained by Plato and other platonic or neo-platonic philosophers like Plotinus or Marsilius Ficino. What is so, so, so great about Chopra is the simplicity in which these ideas are exposed.
I thought the interviewer did a good job, and both were very sincere in what they sad.
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to Deepak Chopra and contrary to what some bloggers here have said I thought that the interviewer did a good job.
The discussion between "Awsomesome" and "heywakeup" was just as good and extremely valuable to me. Both did a good job in asking good questions and providing answers. I have myself felt conflcted and confused with some of these issues not having acquired a systematic knowledge on this subject but this conversation was very enlightening.
Good questions, but as far as answers are concerned, there were none, it was just pseudo-spiritual meandering, . .. no offense, but you were gullible enough to buy into that
He's not going to hand you the answers to life and death everything before and after.. He is giving you tools to develop yourself and REALIZE and make yourself aware of what more may be out there.
well, these "tools" have been provided by Eastern philosophers for ages in a much more profound way, Deepak Chopra is just giving you the watered down version of it
@monsieurhassan I don't agree. I think he is simply giving HIS view, perception, and version on ancient philosophy's. Just speaking of what feels right in his heart and soul.
Yes but not enough. I recommend that you get Eckhart tolles "the Power of now" audiobook and put it on your Ipod or something and listen to it every day. Then you will understand truth. You also should get his other stuff. He points straight to truth.
I believe it exists so we can enjoy ourselves. But the greatest enjoyment of all is self realization. With this self realization and deep inner peace the world is a thousand times more enjoyable. Now you can get stuck in
sin(anything that brings you farther from God) or you can overcome it and become perfection. Pure Bliss!!!
All material things come out of God or the spiritual dimension. So they coexist, This world is just an illusion and all material things disolve over time. T
You Fool!! You have no idea what your talking about. Hinduism speaks of getting into a higher conciousness(soul awareness) so that you have blessings from Krishna(the supreme being,godhead). And I apply the teachings of Taoism(Daoism) into my life everyday and I know the meaning of it. Taoism is getting to the level of conciousness above duality(Good and Bad) and feeling the Grace of God. First you get in touch with your soul, and then everything naturallly works out for you.
I recommend "The Power of Now" a guide to spirituall enlightenment by Eckhart Tolle. It is a brilliant beginners book. It is what got me to realize this great truth that Deepak talks about.
And just because you and people like you can't see this "truth" and think we are all loony doesn't bother us. We at one point in our life were at a low level of conciousness like you. You are just missing out on this incredible reality that you don't know exists, and were just trying to point people in the right direction who are ready to wake up to this spiritual world.
let me explain something for you. It isn't that Deepak "thinks" we are conciousness or that we have a soul, he "knows it". He is trying to point other people to this truth(that Jesus taught). Everybody has to realize this on their own they can't be "told" that they aren't their body and "know it." But first you must try to see this in order to meditate or do other spiritual practices that will get you in touch with your soul.
Hm, Chopra seems so emotionally accepting of mortality and of the natural evolution of the universe, but on the other hand he is morally opposed to humans achieving immortality. I don't understand.
Starting at 4:38, yes he does mention craving permanence, but he explicitly says "if we did succeed in conquering physical death". I don't think there's any other clear interpretation.
i dont understand dude. he says we should NOT succeed conquering physical death. he says we all have to change.. he is not opposed to immortality just in a physical sense it doesnt make sense to him.
All major religions point to the spiritual world(or the kingdom of heaven) which lasts forever. They say nonattachment to this material world including your body and your thoughts is true self realization. And this Awareness that sees the thoughts and the body is your true self. If you meditate and clear your mind you will find this to be true. Your body will never be immortal so don't seek it. The bible says "seek first the kingdom of heaven, and all things will be added unto you."
Well, actually, plenty of religions try to attain physical immortality as a spiritual height. Hinduism, Daoism, and Ancient Greek myth, to name a few, include that view. Also, why is the idea of an immortal soul any better than an immortal body?
Deepak Chopra understands the true meaning behind Jesus's teachings. And he is a self realized enlightened being. So with that being said, he knows it is futile to seek immortality. And he knows he isn't his body, but the observer of his body which lasts forever. That is why he is comfortable with talking about mortality.
He is repulsed by the idea of immortality in this physical body because your living in delusion if you think you can achieve it, that is what spiritualism is about, getting in touch with the immortal true self that never dies(the soul or conciousness), which Chopra is in touch with.
Read my other comment - Hinduism, Daoism, and Ancient Greek myth for example include physically immortal beings which are sacred and spiritually enlightened. If you are denying that physical immortality will ever be possible then you are living in delusion.
You see there is a difference between doers and hypocrites. Most people read the bible and claim they are christians when they don't follow any of Jesus's teachings. It says in the bible "Don't be a hypocrite, Decieving yourselves". You will never understand God until you actually apply these spiritual principles into your life. What I am saying is you could talk about it all day but that isn't going to make realize your true self or God.
In fact it is just the opposite. The more you "Think" about God the farther you will get from God. God is beyond material things and that includes thought. That is why spiritual practices such as meditating are necessary so you can clear your mind.
As it says in the Tao Te Ching, "Can you stand back from your mind and thus understand all things."
If your talking about the Romo comments I agree and they weren't supposed to have revelence. If your talking about my other comments yes they did. I was pointing out that the religions point to Spirit, soul, or conciousness whatever you want to call it.
No, you just gave me a bunch of your ideas about attaining God or enlightenment, but it wasn't related to why immortality is bad, or why wanting it is bad.
"Wanting" is a desire which creates unhappiness. It is bad because it makes no sense(its delusional). Your going to die just like the rest of us. The truth is the truth. What you should be seeking is true immortality and that is the "kingdom of heaven" or the spiritual dimension which spiritual texts point to.
Ah, so what is so wrong about unhappiness? I would argue that suffering is necessary for spiritual growth and progress. If you think desire is wrong because it creates unhappiness, then you think a person should avoid unhappiness at all costs, which is just cowardly.
Yes unhappiness and delusion are necessary for a short time. But then you should drop the ego(False sense of self) and raise your conciousness and no longer suffer. You can't tell a baby for instance to give away his toy because it is better to give than to receive. He will scream "it's MINE!!"
Why should I try to escape the ego? I like this life. I have no idea what a spiritual existence in heaven or whatever is like, but I do know what the physical life is like and I enjoy it. Why should I want to leave?
seeking after material possessions is meaningless. It doesn't lead to fulfillment and it creates suffering. Some people don't understand this. But if you think you are truly happy, more power to you.
OHHH MY FRIEND YOU HAVE A LOT TO LEARN!!!!! It isn't JUST that. Do you know anything about the Kundalini? Do you know about bad karma? Yes transcend Karma!! Go Deeper into silence and understand more than you ever thought possible. You see, the bible says you can't have both God and the world!! it is one or the other. It is a strict practice that leads you to self realization. I've said it once and I will say it again, My friend you have a lot to learn.
I know about all of that. How do you know it is true? If the material world is suffering and holds us back from attaining God then why does it even exist?
You see enlightenment is our natual state!! your mind creates a false illusion. It creates worry, pain, nervousness, you know suffering. But we can trancend that as humans, God created us in his image.
Why? If someone experiences suffering by their senses and thoughts, surely it is because they are making use of them in the wrong way, but not because they exist at all!
If a person does evil it is not because they are human, but because they are being human in the "wrong" way! Similarly, some people suffer through their thoughts and senses and others achieve peace and happiness through them. You do not have to give up these things to be enlightened, "my friend".
I said give up attachment, I did not say give them up "my friend,". I think if you type "amrit enlightened" in the youtube search you can listen to him explain it better.
Can you just accept that different people find enlightenment/happiness in different ways and on different paths, and my path is different than yours?
(I know that's not what I've been saying, but I've basically been playing devil's advocate because I disagree with trying to escape the passions of the ego. Also, I looked up Amrit...I don't get it.)
Yes everybody has there own path that is why I said if this world makes you happy then be happy. "Eventually it will make you unhappy" but you will find that out on your own, that is the part I left out. It is a choice to become enlightened and that is why few people find it.
The reason why enlightenement is important is because when you are enlightened you cause no more suffering for yourself or others. You create a better world. But through delusion you create delusion. I hope that makes sense to you.
It is our destiny to become enlightened and the longer you wait the more you will be forced into enlightenement because you will suffer more. It is becoming more of a spiritual society and less of a materialistic society if you haven't found out already. Obama threw billions of dollars down the drain and brought us farther in debt. So money is becoming more and more meaningless. I am just trying to help.
Actually, I am not attached to money, nor to celebrities or leaders, nor to social status, the list goes on. But I still love this world. I am attached to things like emotions and friendship.
OK thats fine, like i said everyone has there own path. But you will continue asking questions about God when the only way to understand God is to become enlightened. Maybe some day you will decide to give up your false identity. You are not your body, are you attached to your body? Do you know that you are not your body?
Well alright then. Now you know what all religions point to. The true meaning is to gain enlightenment but it is obscured through ignorance from unenlightened people who don't understand because of their hypocracy. Jesus said "Don't be a hypocrate, Decieving yourselves."
I'm not decieving myself about anything. If I were to believe in an immaterial self without ever experiencing any evidence of that, I would be decieving myself.
No you wouldn't. Just because you don't believe in God doesn't mean that there isn't one. That is why Faith is necessary at first. If you don't believe than you will never practice, and if you never practice you wlll never find. That is why the bible says, "Fear of God is the beginning of knowledge."
You see in "no thought" you don't become dumber. You become much more aware and intelligent. The mind makes you think you will be dumb. the bible says "self control is godliness". And that also means control of thoughts.
Where do you think intuition comes from? Do you think electricity was invented or was always here to be discovered? And if you really think about it that goes with anything on this planet.
My point is if you think you already know everything, stop being so narcistic and actually test life. Find out for yourself, test these spiritual principles.
Right now I'm just being honest. You assume I've never "tried" spiritual beliefs and practices before. On the contrary, I have. It has not led me to believe in a supreme spiritual essence or God. My experience nor my rationality lead me to believe in that.
@Awesomesome Listening to a guided meditation tape once, or reading The Third Eye once meet isn't going to get you far. Or have you spent the past 20 years at an ashram/buddist temple.
I get ticked off with generalised claims like this. Would you accept the same from Chopra et al? Well, what exactly did you do? And the poster who said your allowing your ego to get in the way 'MY rationality' nailed it.
You see there are different levels of conciousness(soul awareness). You can go all the way or you can jump off and jump on the spiritual path. If you spend too much time in the material world without spending time to quiet your mind it will be very hard to find Truth. But if you spend time every day to quiet your mind you will get farther and farther to truth. Like I said understanding is a feeling. And true love is an awareness.
You see words are just signposts that point to truth and understanding. It is more of a feeling than anything. That is why it is a practice. Just because we talk about it for hours isn't going to get anyone to understand it.
Not much if any at all of Mr. Chopra's statements fails to make sound sense. In fact there's really no argument against it. The perfect insights on our reality deal a mighty death-blow to 'self-righteous-morality' .
Deepak just making money...... No doubt religions are stupid ideas...no doubt there is definately something supernatural beyond the reach of life/beings/science....but he is stupid...cashin it all
if they say that there is no life after death then try to prove that there is no life after death because you cant and you cant prove that there is eny life eather :D so you never know ;)
Deepak Chopra. A down to earth humble realist. I can really relate to Chopra. I'm 42 now. I think and to talk God everyday. I'm consciousness about everything in my life and how I treat others. It's with purpose. I do think about death everyday...someday we'll meet. You think we're here by chance...I don't think so.
Totally agree with "phillAlexandros". Science only believes in evidence that can be proven but what about "feelings" and "emotions" or "dreams" or "thoughts", these things cannot be proven or seen but yet we all know they exist because we all have experienced them at one time or another, for scienctists to say that there is no evidence about these things would be hypocritical on their part knowing that they as human beings have also experienced these things
the interviewer is such a douche! he doesnt really seem to get it close to the way deepak does. and he asked very rude abrasive questions as if he was spiteful of deepak's clearer understanding of reality
I think he asked really good questions and was just playing "Devil's Advocate" for the viewers. I don't like when people just reaffirm the interviewee's position. If you can have your ideas challenged and they still hold then you know you've got something.
i just want all my friends like him,i want all the masters as freinds,and the only way for that to happen,is becoming the one that i am,thats alot of surrender,fuk!
what about homosexuality? When will there be a documnetary/science on that?? Why am i gay? sometimes i feel sad i am gay :'o( almost decided to kill myself once too.
I believe Deepak Chopra is a fruit loop but he is right. Scientists must have faith in unproven things like the theory of evolution etc. I think Chopra and Dawkins are both fruit loops.
I think i get what ya saying, to me i think heaven is going to be really bright and not up in the clouds just something like another dimension place kinda. Because i study NDE's and they all say the same thing or get to the point of saying the same thing.
Just to set the record straight not all of us that are Christians see other belief systems or realms of human searching as an affront to true religion ,Christian or otherwise. Perhaps the real meaning behind Paul's exclamation in the Letter to the Romans( I think) "Let God be True but everyman a liar" is an impassioned cry for the truth in every age. There was a time when Christ was not so much the excepted icon he is today and was seen as more of an upstart and a rebel... even mre than Deepak!

@shapein you and dmhewey gave me a thought. u say u lose consciousness under anaesthesia and some phases of sleep.dmhewey says the biological brain is the receiver of consciousness.Have either of you had a lucid dream before? If not,once you become lucid in a dream, i find it very hard to stay asleep.

Deepak Chopra has no point in anything he propounds. None of what he says makes a lick of sense by any stretch of the imagination. People are buying a book which allegedly passes for philosophical "academia," and Deepak is laughing his way to the bank. What a walking contradiction.

i am a fan of deepak. but i think he uses fancy phrases and words to cover himself.

meditation has enabled knowledge for me to better understand the equation e=mc2 , where energy is equal to mass times the speed of light multiplied by itself. Energy and Mass are two different manifestations for the same thing, and we are apart of that same thing like a drop in the ocean, if you want to be enlightened learn about mediation, and anything else you can think of in the world, learn to focus on main energy points or chakras in the body when meditating, quiet your mind, but stay awake

We were born against our will so the point is to just go along for the ride and make this life whatever we want it to be. And then wait to die which will then take us into our next journey. But the secret to it all is that we have free will the whole time to make this life and any other one what we want it to be. The challenge is to surpass the limits, lies, and problems imposed on us by society and the rest of the world.

Science deals with the material, and it is difficult to prove the material (tangible evidence) with the immaterial (ie. life after death). It seems scientific technology is in it infancy when it comes to trying to prove what cannot be perceived with all senses.

You Fool!! You have no idea what your talking about. Hinduism speaks of getting into a higher conciousness(soul awareness) so that you have blessings from Krishna(the supreme being,godhead). And I apply the teachings of Taoism(Daoism) into my life everyday and I know the meaning of it. Taoism is getting to the level of conciousness above duality(Good and Bad) and feeling the Grace of God. First you get in touch with your soul, and then everything naturallly works out for you.
HeyWakeUpPeople 2 years ago
I recommend "The Power of Now" a guide to spirituall enlightenment by Eckhart Tolle. It is a brilliant beginners book. It is what got me to realize this great truth that Deepak talks about.
HeyWakeUpPeople 2 years ago
And just because you and people like you can't see this "truth" and think we are all loony doesn't bother us. We at one point in our life were at a low level of conciousness like you. You are just missing out on this incredible reality that you don't know exists, and were just trying to point people in the right direction who are ready to wake up to this spiritual world.
HeyWakeUpPeople 2 years ago
let me explain something for you. It isn't that Deepak "thinks" we are conciousness or that we have a soul, he "knows it". He is trying to point other people to this truth(that Jesus taught). Everybody has to realize this on their own they can't be "told" that they aren't their body and "know it." But first you must try to see this in order to meditate or do other spiritual practices that will get you in touch with your soul.

Awesomesome 2 years ago
All major religions point to the spiritual world(or the kingdom of heaven) which lasts forever. They say nonattachment to this material world including your body and your thoughts is true self realization. And this Awareness that sees the thoughts and the body is your true self. If you meditate and clear your mind you will find this to be true. Your body will never be immortal so don't seek it. The bible says "seek first the kingdom of heaven, and all things will be added unto you."
HeyWakeUpPeople 2 years ago
Well, actually, plenty of religions try to attain physical immortality as a spiritual height. Hinduism, Daoism, and Ancient Greek myth, to name a few, include that view. Also, why is the idea of an immortal soul any better than an immortal body?
Awesomesome 2 years ago
Continuation of my answer,
Deepak Chopra understands the true meaning behind Jesus's teachings. And he is a self realized enlightened being. So with that being said, he knows it is futile to seek immortality. And he knows he isn't his body, but the observer of his body which lasts forever. That is why he is comfortable with talking about mortality.
HeyWakeUpPeople 2 years ago
Fine, but nothing you just said contributed to our conversation. I still think Chopra is repulsed by the idea of immortality.
Awesomesome 2 years ago
He is repulsed by the idea of immortality in this physical body because your living in delusion if you think you can achieve it, that is what spiritualism is about, getting in touch with the immortal true self that never dies(the soul or conciousness), which Chopra is in touch with.
HeyWakeUpPeople 2 years ago
Read my other comment - Hinduism, Daoism, and Ancient Greek myth for example include physically immortal beings which are sacred and spiritually enlightened. If you are denying that physical immortality will ever be possible then you are living in delusion.

You see there is a difference between doers and hypocrites. Most people read the bible and claim they are christians when they don't follow any of Jesus's teachings. It says in the bible "Don't be a hypocrite, Decieving yourselves". You will never understand God until you actually apply these spiritual principles into your life. What I am saying is you could talk about it all day but that isn't going to make realize your true self or God.
HeyWakeUpPeople 2 years ago
Continuation of my answer,
In fact it is just the opposite. The more you "Think" about God the farther you will get from God. God is beyond material things and that includes thought. That is why spiritual practices such as meditating are necessary so you can clear your mind.
As it says in the Tao Te Ching, "Can you stand back from your mind and thus understand all things."
HeyWakeUpPeople 2 years ago
None of that had any relevance.
Awesomesome 2 years ago
If your talking about the Romo comments I agree and they weren't supposed to have revelence. If your talking about my other comments yes they did. I was pointing out that the religions point to Spirit, soul, or conciousness whatever you want to call it.

No, you just gave me a bunch of your ideas about attaining God or enlightenment, but it wasn't related to why immortality is bad, or why wanting it is bad.

"Wanting" is a desire which creates unhappiness. It is bad because it makes no sense(its delusional). Your going to die just like the rest of us. The truth is the truth. What you should be seeking is true immortality and that is the "kingdom of heaven" or the spiritual dimension which spiritual texts point to.
HeyWakeUpPeople 2 years ago
Ah, so what is so wrong about unhappiness? I would argue that suffering is necessary for spiritual growth and progress. If you think desire is wrong because it creates unhappiness, then you think a person should avoid unhappiness at all costs, which is just cowardly.
Awesomesome 2 years ago
Yes unhappiness and delusion are necessary for a short time. But then you should drop the ego(False sense of self) and raise your conciousness and no longer suffer. You can't tell a baby for instance to give away his toy because it is better to give than to receive. He will scream "it's MINE!!"

If a person does evil it is not because they are human, but because they are being human in the "wrong" way! Similarly, some people suffer through their thoughts and senses and others achieve peace and happiness through them. You do not have to give up these things to be enlightened, "my friend".

Awesomesome 2 years ago
Yes everybody has there own path that is why I said if this world makes you happy then be happy. "Eventually it will make you unhappy" but you will find that out on your own, that is the part I left out. It is a choice to become enlightened and that is why few people find it.
HeyWakeUpPeople 2 years ago
You're still denying that I can become enlightened by remaining in this world with attachments.

The reason why enlightenement is important is because when you are enlightened you cause no more suffering for yourself or others. You create a better world. But through delusion you create delusion. I hope that makes sense to you.

Oh, okay. Then I can indeed be enlightened as long as I am no longer suffering or bringing others suffering.
Awesomesome 2 years ago
It is our destiny to become enlightened and the longer you wait the more you will be forced into enlightenement because you will suffer more. It is becoming more of a spiritual society and less of a materialistic society if you haven't found out already. Obama threw billions of dollars down the drain and brought us farther in debt. So money is becoming more and more meaningless. I am just trying to help.

OK thats fine, like i said everyone has there own path. But you will continue asking questions about God when the only way to understand God is to become enlightened. Maybe some day you will decide to give up your false identity. You are not your body, are you attached to your body? Do you know that you are not your body?
HeyWakeUpPeople 2 years ago
No, I don't know that.
Awesomesome 2 years ago
Well alright then. Now you know what all religions point to. The true meaning is to gain enlightenment but it is obscured through ignorance from unenlightened people who don't understand because of their hypocracy. Jesus said "Don't be a hypocrate, Decieving yourselves."
HeyWakeUpPeople 2 years ago
I'm not decieving myself about anything. If I were to believe in an immaterial self without ever experiencing any evidence of that, I would be decieving myself.
Awesomesome 2 years ago
No you wouldn't. Just because you don't believe in God doesn't mean that there isn't one. That is why Faith is necessary at first. If you don't believe than you will never practice, and if you never practice you wlll never find. That is why the bible says, "Fear of God is the beginning of knowledge."
