Deepak Chopra: My History and Relationship with Militant Atheists and Skeptics.

Quote.

When your mind and heart are truly open abundance will flow to you effortlessly and easily.

Deepak Chopra’s interaction with atheists and skeptics began in the late 1980s when Deepak started writing books on mind body medicine, he was suggesting that consciousness was more fundamental than matter in the universe.

Michael Shermer put Deepak on the cover of Skeptic Magazine suggesting that he was a fraud and charlatan. Deepak’s Wikipedia page quotes Michael Schermer saying that Deepak is the ultimate embodiment of “pseudoscience”. Over the years, Michael and Deepak have jousted and come to know each other as human beings that disagree, but can be friends.

Since the year 2002, Deepak has had interactions with Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins, and other skeptics. He has also collaborated in his writings with neuroscientists and physicists who consider consciousness to be a fundamental property of the universe. This video tries to summarize Deepak’s history and relationship with militant atheists and skeptics and offers a way forward to engage in a dialogue that could expand the conversation around the nature of consciousness, fundamental reality, and the scientific pursuit of the nature of our being and the universe we observe.​

    Hello Deepak, I am not a skeptic...I have indeed followed many of your teachings and meditations. I have bought most of your books and adhere to many truths found therein. However, I cannot get past your exorbirant charges for your workshops and sessions in California...why do you charge? you are rich enough to stop charging for all that you do... if it truly comes from the heart, and you seek global change, there is no need to charge ...Miria
