ok, I'm completely and utterly vexed now..........so terribly vexed!
what ARE you trying to say about Chopra? Either you listen to him or you don't......you said before you're straight.....and I'm asking what that has to do with listening to Chopra
lmao, you're kidding...don't pay attention to all that.
my family and i heard of chopra years ago, somewhere around the time Ageless Body, Timeless Mind came out. i've read that and How to Know God. and perhaps one other really small/short one. back then, he was relatively new on the mainstream media scene, and so one would see him doing the rounds on the talk shows, etc...i started to grow tired of hearing the same-old buzzword talk.
but that's not necessarily his fault, and the ideas contained in his work are very powerful and at least somewhat-valid. he's good at getting a point across, which is often related to the unity of things, or the intelligence which makes the "universe" (or the body in particular) work the way it seems to.
particularly interesting, as you probably know, is his fusion of ancient philosphy and modern life/science. for example, he'll cite research whose conclusions hint at connections between mind and body that will at once make sense, yet perhaps also surprise you. i can't speak for the validity of the studies he mentions, or all of his reasoning, but it all amounts to worthwhile "food for thought."
i had to end with a cliched phrase. sweet.
