Named one of the top 100 heroes and icons of the century by Time Magazine, Deepak Chopra has long been a towering figure in alternative medicine and spirituality. On this episode of Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu, Deepak Chopra examines the nature of consciousness and pursues eternal questions like, “Who am I? What do I want? What’s my purpose? What am I grateful for?” While advocating reflection, meditation and awareness, he describes the results of the deeply examined life, and gives concrete advice on how to deal with chronic illness, day-to-day suffering, and even the fear of death.

QUOTES:
“To observe a thought is to know you’re not a thought. To observe an emotion is to know that you’re not the emotion. To observe the body is to know that you’re not this bundle of sensations and perceptions. So who are you? What is it that knows?” [13:01]
“When you have time to be still, question your habitual certainties, you realize that actually, we know nothing. Nothing. Everything we know is made up. It’s a human construct.” [29:56]
“Love is not a sentiment. Love is not an emotion. Love is the ultimate truth, and the heart of creation.” [41:09]

Love this! The more aware we are, the more abundance we will experience. We are responsible for our lives, become more aware of your habits of thinking, feeling and actions, then you can make the changes you need to make to live the life you want to live
Sir Tom iam asking you to release the short video with a duration of even 5 to 6 minutes
absolute masterclass. Deepak, thanks for the brilliant insights. have followed him and read him for years, but this was a total MASTER at work
wow! Deepak Chopra is amazing! and so is Tom!
Existence as we know it is about experience. It is about exploration and contemplation, awareness of awareness.
How we perceive reality is subjective, both to each human and, especially, between species.
Tom looks like he needs some LSD right now because he looks so brainfucked hahaha
Thank you Tom for this interview, so much gratitude for this amazing talk! I love Deepak so much and his teachings. I was fortunate enough to participate in a workshop with him many years ago and he has a wonderful energy, he is such an authentically nice person. Thank you to both.
Hah, yes, indeed, existential suffering is quite a bizarre state of the human condition. Quite a profound state, that sits at the core of many depressions and anxieties that we, as humans, experience.
The most disturbing thing about the video is Mr. Depak Chopra forgot to pin his watch strap :-D, insightful video..
Ah the Wu Wu salesman is here

95% of gene mutations that cause diseases are triggered BY ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS! Please don't cut your body parts off. Cancer is surely not inevitable!
When Tom will take psychedelics he will likely become less attached to eating meat.
When his guests are vegans or vegetarians they are not asked about nutrition.
Tell me if I'm wrong about this.
Waiting for DrBruce lipton interview
This was probably the best interview of Deepak Chopra I've ever seen. I've always like him, but this was a next level conversation
Oprah is satan's sister so anybody connected to Oprah is evil in my opinion…
So I sometimes ask myself – If I knew that I could enter into a virtual reality scenario that would feel 100% real in every possible way – smell, taste, touch, pain, fear, joy and ultimately death of that which I have become ….. would I do it?
Speaking as 'that which I have become' I'd say – absolutely no way! I'm way too scared
Hypothetically speaking as an infinite part of existence that will return to the fold no matter what my demise, I'd grin and say – bring it on! 😅😅😅
Stark contrast! How do I convince myself to be the latter without 'knowing' it to be true?!
Note added: wrote this before getting to the part where Deepak starts talking about VR
I admire Deepak, and Tom you’re an excellent interviewer 👍🏼 I love your videos
