What is the body's wisdom?
1 Expert Answer
Most Recent Answer
by Deepak Chopra
The body's wisdom is a good entry point into the hidden dimensions of life, because although completely invisible, the body's wisdom is undeniably real—a fact that medical researchers began to accept in the mid-1980s. In a sweeping medical revolution, scientists have stepped into a hidden dimension that no one had ever suspected. Cells have been outthinking us for millions of years. Signs of int...

What is the secret of solving the mystery of life?
1 Expert Answer
Most Recent Answer
by Deepak Chopra
Solving the mystery of life requires only one commandment: live like a cell. But we don't, and the reason is not hard to find. We have our own way of doing things. Our cells are fueled by the same oxygen and glucose that fueled amoebas two billion years ago, but we are attracted by high-fat, sugary, more or less frivolous fad foods. Our cells cooperate with each other along the same lines set down... See More Answers »
What is the purpose of the cortex in the human body?
1 Expert Answer
Most Recent Answer
by Deepak Chopra
The cortex assembles the mass of raw data (continuous signals about body's state of chemical balance, temperature, and oxygen consumption, along with a crackling stream of nerve impulses) into complex arrangements of electrical and chemical blips. The cortex doesn't inform us about this never-ending data processing, which is all that is happening inside gray matter. Instead, the cortex tells us ab... See More Answers »
What is the second secret of life?
1 Expert Answer
Most Recent Answer
by Deepak Chopra
The second spiritual secret of life is that you are not in the world; the world is in you. This is arrived at from the embarrassing problem that there is no way to prove the existence of an outside world, and this undermines the entire basis of materialism. In short, the whole world is created in you. This leads to the heart of spirituality—everyone is a creator. You are not in the world; the wo... See More Answers »
How can I possess the second secret of life?
1 Expert Answer
Most Recent Answer
by Deepak Chopra
To truly possess the second secret, begin to see yourself as a co-creator in everything that happens to you. One simple exercise is to sit wherever you are and look around. As your gaze falls on a chair, a picture, the color of the walls in your room, say to yourself, "This stands for me. This, too, stands for me." Let your awareness take in everything, and now ask yourself: do I see order or diso... See More Answers »
How do you explain a spiritual journey?
1 Expert Answer
Most Recent Answer
by Deepak Chopra
A spiritual journey can be understood by using an airplane as an example. Imagine a passenger on an airplane who doesn't know that flight exists. As the plane takes off he panics, thinking such thoughts as "What's holding us up? What if this plane is too heavy? Air weighs nothing, and this whole plane is made of steel!" Thrown back on his own perceptions, the panicked passenger loses all sense of ... See More Answers »
Can I take a spiritual journey on my own?
1 Expert Answer
Most Recent Answer
by Deepak Chopra
You can take this journey yourself. It is more than symbolic because the brain, which is already manufacturing every sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell that you experience, is a quantum machine. Its atoms are in direct contact with the laws of nature, and through the magic of consciousness, when you have a desire, your brain is sending a signal to the very source of natural law. Take your spiri... See More Answers »
How do you define consciousness?
1 Expert Answer
Most Recent Answer
by Deepak Chopra
The simplest definition of consciousness is awareness; the two are synonymous. One time at a business conference I said to an executive, "Consciousness is the potential for all creation." The more consciousness you have, the more potential you have to create. Pure consciousness, because it underlies everything, is pure potential. Using consciousness as its modeling clay, creation is continuously c... See More Answers »
Are the five senses of human beings reliable?
1 Expert Answer
Most Recent Answer
by Deepak Chopra
The five senses are extremely deceptive. They tell us that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, that the earth is flat, that an object made of steel couldn't possibly be held up by air. The next stage of awareness depends upon laws of nature that are arrived at by thinking and experimenting. The observer is no longer a victim of deception. He can figure out the law of gravity using math... See More Answers »
What is the difficulty in embracing the one reality?
1 Expert Answer
Most Recent Answer
by Deepak Chopra
Laypeople have difficulty embracing the one reality because they believe in limitations that are self-imposed. And because they do, those limitations turn into reality. The glory of the spiritual journey is the same as its irony: you acquire full power only by realizing that you have been using that power all along to thwart yourself. You are potentially the prisoner, the jailer, and the hero who ... See More Answers »
