Discussing Tony Robbins was great. A lot of insight . Some good, some bad.
Wanna take on Deepak Chopra?
He is big on PBS and is a spiritualist as opposed to a life mentor.
IMHO, with his layman knowledge of modern physics and how the brain functions, he extrapolates, with an incredulous leap in logic, the fascinating discoveries of quantum mechanics as evidence to defend his claims.
He states that you are not the thinker of your thoughts. The thinker of your thoughts is a cosmic intelligence - new age pap for God.
Further, your thoughts can be broken down into individual bits, kinda like computer assembler codes, and inbetween your thoughts, which you do not think, there is a gap. This gap is the port of entry into the cosmic thinker of all thoughts and, once inside, you can somehow choose - remember you are not thinking between your thoughts which you do not think anyways - from "this endless field of possibilites" what the reality of your next thought, that you are not thinking, will produce.
To be precise, you can change reality from one thought to the next. As he says, you can be holding a chocolate ice cream cone and, in the time it takes to not think a thought that you are not thinking, you can change it to a strawberry ice cream cone by thinking about it inbetween the gap of your thoughts that you are not thinking even though you cannot think, because you are not the thinker of your thoughts.
He practices ayurveda medicine: (Sanskrit) an ancient medical treatise summarizing the Hindu art of healing and prolonging life; sometimes regarded as a 5th Veda.
He does health practices that have no scientific proof as to their efficacy such as weekly emena baths.
He has made a fortune in ticket charges that can get you a evening with Morgan Van Lief and people line up and gladly pay, which makes me suspect what Deepak is thinking.
Question - what do you suppose these people who line up are not thinking?
