Is Deepak Chopra one of many who are trying to teach us the first lie all over again ?

Question

Could Deepak Chopra convince anyone earlier that we can live forever ? So much for "AGELESS Body, TIMELESS Mind". Can he live forever or is he facing his own mortality ? Is that why he's now reinvented himself as an authority on "Life after DEATH". Where is this all leading for a few gullibles that listen to him ?

According to Deepak Chopra, “we are divinity in disguise, and the gods and goddesses in embryo that are contained within us seek to be fully materialized. ..."

In the beginning, a false spirit told us the same, holding out the same reward of eternal life through the "divinity" within.

Genesis 3:4 Satan said to the woman, 'You will certainly NOT DIE!
Really, God knows that on the day you eat from it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be LIKE GOD, knowing good and evil.'

Ages have passed and we still DIE.

On the other hand, Chopra is invoking the language of sophistry in order to make his old ideas appear scientific. Unfortunately, this is the stuff of pseudoscience precisely because it is not related to the methods, experiments, or findings of traditional science. Similar to his metaphysical claims, Chopra offers no real definitions, reasons, or elaborations for his physical claims. Instead, he throws a scientific term around here and there, and it lies there isolated, vague, and virtually meaningless... other than the fact that it creates a thin air of scientific connotation which would only convince the least learned of science and its method. Would anyone is his RIGHT mind believe his claims ?

Answer 1

Yes. It gives new meaning to the term "buying snake oil."

Answer 2

He isn't saying we can change the structure & function of our bodies, (blue eyes to green) but that we can slow down natural processes within the body. The body does truly replace cells on a daily basis & we make or break our health based not just on what we eat or if we exercise or not, but with our mental state. Deepak is not the only one who will tell you this, but ask any other oncologist, cardiologist etc. Stress effects hormones that cascade & effect multitudes of other things in the body. Relaxing the mind, focusing on health, etc, will lower blood pressure, improve healing of surgical patients, improve digestion etc. There are many well documented studies on this. You can't change what the cell was designed to do, but you can improve the individual cells functions.

Answer 3

The last I knew philosophy didn't need to be proven. It was a belief that was shared. It also did not need to be approved of by Christians who have forgotten that God gave us free will. I understand that you feel very strongly about this and will hate this answer, but here it is: Satan told Eve that she would not die from EATING the apple, and indeed, she did not, they were thrown from the Garden of Eden, if you recall. Death is not an end in itself, only a crossing to the next plane of existence. That's my philosophy, and love it or hate it, it's still a free country where everyone can express their opinions, even when they differ sharply. God bless America!

Answer 4

So prove him wrong! Mr Chopra has already gathered a large following and might get himself crowned as the new messiah.

Answer 5

No, dear -- Deepak Chopra is one of the few enlightened humans who has a clear understanding of "God" and truth.

Answer 6

Man gets caught up in mans wisdom. Talking instead of doing. That's why they reincarnate 999 times.
