Deepak Chopra
We Americans sit at the head of the banquet table, as we have done for a century. Our standard of living is luxurious by any measure. View quote
Deepak Chopra
When I was growing up, I went to an Irish-Christian missionary school. View quote
Deepak Chopra
And for me anyway, consciousness is three components: a personal component which for lack of a better word we can call the soul. A collective component which is more archetypal and a deeper level, and then a universal domain of consciousness. View quote
Deepak Chopra
From a scientist's perspective, to understand everything that you need to know about human beings, you only have to tinker with all the mechanical parts of genes and the brain until there are no more secrets left. View quote
Deepak Chopra
Meditation makes the entire nervous system go into a field of coherence. View quote
Deepak Chopra
What gets in our way is history and culture and religion and economic conditions. It is part of the hypnosis of our social conditioning. View quote
Deepak Chopra
Wall Street is broken for sure because it succumbed to greed and corruption and pure speculation with no values. View quote
Deepak Chopra
I have all the time in the world. I am in touch with the timeless. I am surrounded by infinity. When I think like that, it doesn't mean I'm going to miss my train, it just means that I'm not thinking about it right now because I'm speaking to you. (Deepak Chopra)
What happens is consciousness operates in mysterious ways. One of those ways is that the old paradigm suddenly starts to die. View quote
Deepak Chopra
You have to think of your brand as a kind of myth. A myth is a compelling story that is archetypal, if you know the teachings of Carl Jung. It has to have emotional content and all the themes of a great story: mystery, magic, adventure, intrigue, conflicts, contradiction, paradox. View quote
Deepak Chopra
It takes a little bit of mindfulness and a little bit of attention to others to be a good listener, which helps cultivate emotional nurturing and engagement. View quote
Deepak Chopra
A child in India grows up with the idea that you have to make choices that will create a better future. In fact, your whole life is a continuum of choices, so the more conscious you are, the greater your life will be. View quote
Deepak Chopra
People think meditation is a huge undertaking. View quote
Deepak Chopra
There are receptors to these molecules in your immune system, in your gut and in your heart. So when you say, 'I have a gut feeling' or 'my heart is sad' or 'I am bursting with joy,' you're not speaking metaphorically. You're speaking literally. View quote
Deepak Chopra
We can actually accelerate the process through meditation, through the ability to find stillness through loving actions, through compassion and sharing, through understanding the nature of the creative process in the universe and having a sense of connection to it. So, that's conscious evolution. View quote
Deepak Chopra
Many scientists think that philosophy has no place, so for me it's a sad time because the role of reflection, contemplation, meditation, self inquiry, insight, intuition, imagination, creativity, free will, is in a way not given any importance, which is the domain of philosophers. View quote
Deepak Chopra
Self-awareness is value-free. It isn't scary. It doesn't imply that you will subject yourself to needless pain. View quote
Deepak Chopra
Being more aware creates responsibility. What does responsibility mean? It means the ability to respond. The more conscious you are in your ability to respond, the more creative you'll be. (Deepak Chopra)
When resources become skimpy, human beings don't suddenly cooperate to conserve what's left. They fight to the last scrap for possession of a diminishing resource. View quote
Deepak Chopra
I, of course, meditate for two hours every morning. It's part of my schedule; I wake up at 4 a.m. every day and I love it. View quote
Deepak Chopra
There are very few good examples of effective, nurturing leadership that unlocks people's potential or even enthusiasm. View quote
Deepak Chopra
As long as you think of your real self as the person you are, then of course you're going to be fearful of death. But what is a person? A person is a pattern of behavior, of a larger awareness. You know, the two-year-old dies before the three-year-old shows up, the three-year-old dies before the teenager shows up. View quote
