Deepak Chopra is making money, influencing a large number of people and peddling complete lies.

Here is one of his quotes:
Quantum healing is healing the bodymind from a quantum level. That means from a level which is not manifest at a sensory level. Our bodies ultimately are fields of information, intelligence and energy. Quantum healing involves a shift in the fields of energy information, so as to bring about a correction in an idea that has gone wrong. So quantum healing involves healing one mode of consciousness, mind, to bring about changes in another mode of consciousness, body. --Deepak Chopra

Wow...and he is supposed to be an educated medical doctor.

I think he markets his BS to the PBS audience, often made up of
yuppies looking for answers at the subliminal level. Beware, though,
regular doctors are to be trusted even less. ;)

I was listening here to one of his speeches, where he talks about
"life after death" (?) and the possibility that a banana is NOT
real...

C'mon, imagine a banana when you are hungry and eat it too. ;)

Not always he talks BS though. ;)

I find it interesting that he sees the end of the male predator (the
king of the jungle) at the next step in evolution. That's almost what
I say. I don't see the end of it, but I see the need to put it in the
cage...

(yes, all those SUV drivers)

And he's given prime time on public media, which is assumed to be the
"smart media."

You know what, I used to listen to news in PBS, but now I stopped
completely. The real thing is in the Internet.

Dalai Lama, I think, is another clown used by the system to say
platitudes.

TibetanMonkey,

I agree the "Dalai Lama, I think, is another clown used by the system
to say platitudes." Yeah, and he's certainly been paid a lot by the
West for dribbling his religion. But, that's religion and politics
for you!

BS walks and money talks.

Once I went to one of his presentations where he spoke about
"democracy," and I stood outside to hand out my own fliers (telling
the reality of the "money jungle" out there), and I was
unceremoniously escorted out of the outside of the university where he
gave the presentation.

Lots of yuppies there.

Chopra is a total charlatan preying on sick people and those who fear
their own mortality.

<<Deepak Chopra is a graduate of the All India Institute of Medical
Sciences (1968) and a former leader of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's
Transcendental Meditation and Ayurvedic medicine programs.>>

This makes me question the validity of the All India of Medical
Sciences. TM and Ayurvedic "medicine," well, now that makes sense,

He is one of those who blame people for their illnesses, *all*
illness, not just lifestyle and substance abuse illnesses.

He is an ass,

Thanks for the link.

well I am originally from Pakistan and I know for sure that India and Pakistani are both culturally immersed in superstition.

but what has become a lucrative business now is re-packaged religion.

when facing criticism about religion on the debate with sam harris and shermer, deepak was quick to distance himself for "old religion". this is a very smart way of avoiding the bad publicity coming religion.

he brings forth his ideas as "new religion", his version of religion that he has contacted in his woo woo lab.

and another point is that he has shaped the new religion according according to today's moral "zeitgeist". who is to say that we won't look back 500 years from now and find deepak chopra's religion  as old, archaic and immoral?




cheers!

Medusa,

There are so many phoney so-called universities in India that getting
a doctorate from the TLC universty of Medical Sciences is cheaper and
as valid. Just send me $50 for a doctorate, or $75 and a photo, if
you wish a photo of youself, wearing mortar board and gowns, recieving
it at a university ceremony.

Ah, but, did you get your certificate by post from the TLC School of
Shamanology?

For $30 only our Shaman certificates come in an impressive frame made
from genuine wooden looking plastic!

Boy, this my shamanic philosophy, "Whatever doesn't kill you, makes
you stronger."

But I won't give you BS or prolong the pain like Western doctors. ;)
