Deepak Chopra`s “Future of God”.
When your mind and heart are truly open abundance will flow to you effortlessly and easily.
Written by Alex Kip for the HuffungtonPost.com
“Here he comes, here he comes…” the collective thought hovered in the air as hundreds of spiritual seekers filled the Marble Collegiate Church in NYC.
We were all about to witness history, one of the greatest spiritual thinkers of our day was about to unpack The Future of God for the world to see. The Future of God… wow, heavy title. What would we discover? What does that even mean? Well, we were about to learn from Deepak Chopra.
Deepak who? Never heard of him? Deepak is the author of eighty books translated into over forty-three languages, including numerous New York Times bestsellers in both the fiction and nonfiction categories. Time magazine heralds Chopra as one of the top 100 heroes and icons of the century and credits him as “the poet-prophet of alternative medicine.” So yeah, pretty epic! Basically one of his major missions is teaching us all how to connect back to God. Great! But why do we need to be taught this at all? Because we’ve put up blocks that make it next to impossible to experience God. Chopra was about to unleash the formula to find the source again…
*Side note, let me tell you, I’m always been a little skeptical. I’ve always wondered what these “enlightened” people are like in real life. Do they really practice what they preach? It was time to find out…
“Here he comes, here he comes.” Taping for the public television special (airing Thanksgiving weekend) was about to begin. Deepak takes the stage and immediately starts testing the microphone, seeming a little uncomfortable in front of a crowd full of people… seems pretty human to me. I was expecting a grand entrance with a sphere of radiant light bursting from his body that would blind us all! Nope, just a regular man who kept fidgeting with his tie. What would his first words be?
Finally, he spoke in a very soft voice, “I normally don’t raise my voice. So please excuse the theatrics that you are about to witness, but this is show business. Also, please excuse the tie…” Laughter erupts from the church pews, he is human after all! He immediately won me over, because he hides nothing, he just is. He doesn’t try to be enlightening, he just is. The cameras start rolling and Deepak begins the theatrics of the night… The Future of God.
*Another side note: realize that Deepak does not advocate any form of religion over another, instead he speaks about the fundamental truths of all religions which is love (God). There can be many negative connotations surrounding the word God because of what organized religion has done to the word. So when you read ‘God’, think about whatever makes sense to you, whether that be the universe, soul, cosmic consciousness, etc. It doesn’t really matter. At the end of the day, this is about fundamental truths of spirituality supported by science, Deepak’s specialty.
Without ruining the special that’ll be airing for PBS, I’m going to give you a little sneak peek of what’s to come and what The Future of God entails for all of us. In some ways this talk could be entitled The Future of You, because in the end, Deepak lays out the road to connect back with God, and it’s through first uncovering the inner you. He lays out the framework for connecting back to God in four easy ways:
1. Expanding awareness
2. Meditation
3. Prayer
4. Self-awareness
So, I’ve decided to do a blog on each of these points (the next three coming soon). First up, expanding awareness…

This is so needed in this time....when the Term "God" needs a series of new definitions and interpretations...
