Chopra says the 'shadow' includes all dark impulses like hatred, aggression, sadism, selfishness, jealousy and more. Deepak Chopra: Donald Trump is 'America's shadow'.

“According to Vedanta, there are only two symptoms of enlightenment, just two indications that a transformation is taking place within you toward a higher consciousness. The first symptom is that you stop worrying. Things don't bother you anymore. You become light-hearted and full of joy. The second symptom is that you encounter more and more meaningful coincidences in your life, more and more synchronicities. And this accelerates to the point where you actually experience the miraculous.
(quoted by Carol Lynn Pearson in )” ― Deepak Chopra. “If you obsess over whether you are making the right decision, you are basically assuming that the universe will reward you for one thing and punish you for another.
The universe has no fixed agenda. Once you make any decision, it works around that decision. There is no right or wrong, only a series of possibilities that shift with each thought, feeling, and action that you experience. If this sounds too mystical, refer again to the body. Every significant vital sign- body temperature, heart rate, oxygen consumption, hormone level, brain activity, and so on- alters the moment you decide to do anything decisions are signals telling your body, mind, and environment to move in a certain direction.” ― Deepak Chopra.
Deepak Chopra, one of the earliest proponents of the now-ubiquitous Western meditation craze, is a controversial figure. To his millions of fans, he is a spiritual leader, a mindfulness prophet, and an enduring new-age guru. To others, he’s, pseudoscientist, and—to be frank—a spouter of bullshit. Indeed, Chopra has become so notorious in some circles that his tweets were used in a last year. There’s also a “Deepak Chopra,” that creates sentences out of randomly arranged “profound sounding words.” So, can Deepak Chopra explain the meaning behind his questionable aphorisms? I asked Chopra about two of his actual quotes used in the study of bullshit and (sneakily) one false quote from the generator.
Real quote: “Attention and intention are the mechanics of manifestation.”. Chopra asks me to bring my attention to my right big toe, and then to wiggle it.
“Was it wiggling before you had the intention?” he asks. No, of course not. “Attention and intention bring experience into awareness, manifest an experience that was not there into an experience right now,” he explains. It sounds like a convoluted way of saying that being aware of wanting to do something, and deciding to do something, then means that something takes place. But fair enough—Chopra certainly isn’t the only person to use unnecessarily complex language. Real quote: “Nature is a self regulating ecosystem of awareness.”.
Chopra says the “of” should be an “in,” but otherwise he stands by the statement. “My body is an ecosystem of cells and I know that it is because I’m an aware being. You look at a leaf or a tree, and it’s an ecosystem of bugs and bees and bacteria and sunshine and earth and water, and ultimately the infinite void and the whole universe is a self-regulating phenomenon,” he says. Endless quest books pdf download. I’m not entirely sure I follow, but at least he has an explanation. Fake quote: “Wholeness heals intrinsic silence.” Chopra isn’t taken in.
