    Default Deepak Chopra



    quotes:
    http://www.goodreads.com/author/quot....Deepak_Chopra
    http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/au...ak_chopra.html

    "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."

    "According to this law [the law of Dharma], you have a unique talent and a unique way of expressing it. There is something that you can do better than anyone else in the whole world--and for every unique talent and unique expression of that talent, there are also unique needs. When these needs are matched with the creative expression of your talent, that is the spark that creates affluence. Expressing your talents to fulfill needs creates unlimited wealth and abundance."

    "The worst curse to befall anyone is stagnation, a banal existence, the quiet desperation that comes out of a need for conformity."

    "There are very few good examples of effective, nurturing leadership that unlocks people's potential or even enthusiasm."

    "Self-awareness is not just relaxation and not just meditation. It must combine relaxation with activity and dynamism. Technology can aid that."

    "Happiness for a reason is just another form of misery because reason can be taken away from us at any time."

    "Success comes when people act together; failure tends to happen alone."

    "To acquire true self power you have to feel beneath no one, be immune to criticism and be fearless."
    "The most creative act you will ever undertake is the act of creating yourself."
    "What keeps life fascinating is the constant creativity of the soul."

    "Love doesn't need reason. It speaks from the irrational wisdom of the heart."

    "You must find the place inside yourself where nothing is impossible."

    "When you struggle with your partner, you are struggling with yourself. Every fault you see in them touches a denied weakness in yourself."

    He's always seemed like an ENTj to me.

    I can definitely see this; it was my first reaction as well. I think it is a good option for him.
    But, for a certainty, back then,
    We loved so many, yet hated so much,
    We hurt others and were hurt ourselves...

    Yet even then, we ran like the wind,
    Whilst our laughter echoed,
    Under cerulean skies...

    Compared to Eckhart Tolle, he seems much more Ni, yes? (And how he explains his views). I prefer Tolle > Deepak, but maybe it's just because he addresses things in a more direct way imo.
    Posts I wrote in the past contain less nuance.
    If you're in this forum to learn something, be careful. Lots of misplaced toxicity.

    I don't really know much about Chopra, but I like him from what I've seen here. He seems very intelligent and confident.

    for some reason I feel skeptical about him... I'm not sure what it is about him... maybe because he presents things like he's an expert? or maybe it's that when I see him he doesn't seem very able to let people be... like maybe he has some idea about how people or things "should" be... and I don't know... I wonder if I'd feel comfortable around him...

    I'm listening to Balancing Your Body Type. It's interesting. He's saying that weight imbalances (being under or over weight) are caused by not enjoying food. He said that if you follow these guidelines, you'll never have a weight problem:

    1.) Always eat while sitting, preferably at a table.
    2.) Don't do anything else while you eat, such as talk on the phone, read the paper, watch TV, drive, listen to music, etc.
    3.) Eat when the stomach is empty (no remnants from previously eaten meals in the stomach). This takes about 4 hours on average, depending on ones metabolism.
    4.) Do not put food into your mouth until the previous bite is in the stomach.
    5.) Don't talk with your mouthful.



    He also says that the first helping of food should be equal to two cupped handfuls of food, and if you're still hungry after that, wait five minutes before getting a second helping.

    Does he give you instructions on how to use the potty, er, toilet, as well?

    He also suggests swishing sesame seed oil in your mouth (and then spitting it out and rinsing with water) to heighten your sense of taste.

    you've got to be kidding me! i have his book on spiritual parenting. i like the concepts in it but not the format or "instructions" for delivering the concepts to your children, day by day. i believe they need to show up naturally in our daily lives to be relevant as the children show interest...

    I disagree with the Si > Ni idea. When I look back on the Si types I've known (especially the Si creative types), I can't think of a single one that wouldn't say that his approach is over complicating things that should be simple and straightforward.

    He's taking a spiritual approach to matters that we traditionally think of as being Si.

    I didn't have an opinion before I posted this topic, but having listened to a complete audio book, at this point I'm somewhat confident that he's LIE.
