His brain is so wired shut he didn't even understand the joke.

Deepak was EXPLAINING how INTENTION makes him shut up. Not the laws of physics.

Conscious Intention to shut up > Neural co-relate > Biological response > Mouth Shuts

She thinks consciousness is out there. This is the issue with an inaccurate language. It creates confusion lol

First you gotta get what consciousness is. It's the simple awareness that you have a brain and a body. Once you discover that you are not your brain or body then you get who you are and then you can develop it through different disciplines etc

[Shriram Karpur]

Deepak is a scientist of the inner world. Rational could be used in a court of law. But its useless after a certain limit. When you expand your consciousness, the boundries of rational changes. Have you not seen anything amazing in this world which cant be explained using rational ? Search in you tube "Indian 'holy man' perplexes doctors", Deepak is from India, and have known these things and he is coming from the background of knowing such people. So are you surprised now ?

[Nitsabes Nhoj]

yes you are right! when you ask what is "1 + 2" Deepak answers "nothing". Deepak should not debate with rationalist. 

[Elena Plesa]

it's not easy for someone like Deepak Chopra to break through the scientific minds of the people debating with him the subject of consciousness. We all come to the higher knowledge when we are ready.

[Shriram Karpur]

There are very few people who can understand Deepak. Its a sad thing. I appreciate Deepak for breaking his heads for these people.
