Spiritual Comedy.
Quote.
When your mind and heart are truly open abundance will flow to you effortlessly and easily.
Question:
Is humor and comedy spiritual?
Response:
Humor certainly can be a spiritual force in our lives if it creates lightness and openness. We all know that cruel jokes and mean laughter can create hurt feelings and divisions between people. But comedy that reveals our common humanity is liberating, joyful, healing and affirming, and that is spiritual.
Love,
Deepak
Unfortunately, Ala, I have trouble understanding what you are trying to say. English isn't your first language (hey, that's fine! Well done for knowing as much English as you do know!). But try to understand this: Understanding consciousness is called "The Hard Problem". No one knows where it comes from, how it develops. No scientist can give you a definite explanation. Not even Deepak Chopra can explain it. He might have a theory, but he seems to think this is the same as actual, proven, knowledge. It is not. He is arrogant. He claims to know so much that he can even tell you how to live. Scientists say, "We don't know." They are honest. They have humility. This is why scientists get mad with Deepak. If he stopped pretending he knew everything then scientists wouldn't criticise him. Does this make sense to you? Or do wish to believe that Deepak is some kind of super-human who knows everything?
Ala – I guess you're one of those people… Nothing could convince you that Deepak is a fraud. He will pluck you for everything that he can get and you will gladly, happily give it to him and then convince yourself that you have made some kind of "spiritual" improvement. By the way, young looking skin is quite common amongst us Indians. I regulary have to convince people that I am 45 years old. My father is 80 years old, he smokes, has no interest in spirituality and has younger looking skin and less grey hair than Deepak. Are you going to worship my father?
Here's a comment from someone who actually tried to learn something for herself instead of waiting for Deepak Chopra to dictate how the world works – her name is Julia Sweeney: "I was so intrigued with this quantum mechanics that Deepak refers to over and over and over again in his books, that I decided to take a class in it. And what I found is-Deepak Chopra is full of shit!" Short and sweet.
