Without a speculation that pushes boundaries, science would never progress.

Why is Deepak Chopra in the science section?

Because he uses science to get his point across - that is what what science do!

Why so much anger and negativity?

His philosophies are beautiful and well spoken.

I am grateful for the experience I have had through exposure to such thoughts.

Some of the people here remind me of my father when I explained transcendental consciousness to him -- he freaked out at the notion that the mind could exist without thoughts, that there is something called pure consciousness. As a psychiatrist he was convinced that he was an expert on the mind and that the mind could not be without thoughts. Then he began meditation and found out what consciousness is.

It never ceases to fascinate me when "scientists" poo poo mysticism as being unscientific, one could even say they consider it to be at the polar opposite of science, and yet within the scientific community, polar opposites are the norm. Science, like mysticism can explain everything, and nothing.

''A Dangerous quack'' someone said above- ''Why is Deepak in science ?'' If you investigated any of his scientific comments - and there are quite a few of them you non- believers - you would find that most of what Deepak is speaking about is SCIENTIFIC FACT !! And I cannot see into your reasoning's to believe Dr Chopra as a 'dangerous quack' when all he believes in is healing - healing the mind, healing the body - through your OWN power of thought and conscious.
I would love to hear what you all above believe in - I would love to hear your thoughts on how to reverse the damages we alone have created not only for our own bodies- but for our planet !
I ask you - have any of you have ever meditated successfully or worked with your own minds long enough to understand it....
If you did - you would probably understand the notion when you hear the words ''I never get sick''......

i guess a philosopher is always going to get this much criticism in a science section.

i also worry when he says 'i never get sick'... that sounds like hubris to me...

Wow, surprised to hear so many negative comments. I like his schtick, though. Just don't swallow it all wholesale. If you examine quantum mechanics though and the potential of particles existing in multiple states, a lot of what he says holds up.

However, I don't buy the treatise that just because you can't locate your consciousness in one specific part of your brain or in your chest or your knee or whatever, that this follows that we have a 'non-local soul'. ***hack*** ***hack** non sequitur, mr chopra.

also Kendall... Please don't tell me that the western world is an especially forward looking society. There's massive poverty, crime and inequality in western societies, disregarding the fact that the US and UK are inflicting totally unnecessary pre-emptive wars on multiple fronts. Not sure who's supposed to be the enlightened society.
