Deepak
Chopra, M.D. A Consistent Message of Love
By
Holly D. Elmore, Mh.D.
 With
his amazing gift of communication, Deepak Chopra, M.D. has eloquently
chosen an array of mediums and styles to broadcast his one consistent
message: Love is where we are from, what we are and where
we will return. From his technical descriptions of quantum physics,
included in his earlier works and in his most recent book, The
Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire, to his more whimsical
writings on Merlin in The Way of the Wizard, Dr.
Chopra is consistent with his message of love.
His scientific and medical credentials combined with a wealth
of spiritual wisdom enable Dr. Chopra to reach a wide range of
those seeking their eternal truth. Those more in tune with masculine
or linear energy can identify with his thorough explanations of
quantum physics and the resulting scientific proof of divine energetic
laws and principles. For those inclined to a more feminine or
creative approach to unfolding their spiritual growth, his Gifts
of Love CD's will be appreciated.
In Gifts of Love, Dr. Chopra is joined by Madonna,
Demi Moore, Rosa Parks and other luminaries in presenting the
love poems by Rumi, the great 13th century mystical poet, choreographed
to inspirational music. A Gift of Love II, Oceans of Ecstasy
presents a musical Valentine to Tagore, early 20th century poet,
painter and Nobel Prize winner for literature, with renditions
by Angelica Huston, Sinead O'Conner, Christy Turlington as
well as Dr. Chopra. Both of the CD's are multi-dimensional
and may be enjoyed at many levels, from pure artistic appreciation
to their profound spiritual insights.
Dr. Chopra also appeals to those who are seeking the eternal fountain
of youth in Grow Younger, Live Longer. He elegantly
states the importance of youthful energy to our spiritual growth,
as the human body is the vehicle through which we explore our
divine potential. Unfortunately, merely reading the book is not
enough to reverse the aging process and, as in most of his publications,
Dr. Chopra delineates steps of actions, or alterations in our
thought processes, along with numerous exercises.
One of Dr. Chopra's consistent recommendations is meditating
twice per day, preferably in the morning and evening, for at least
twenty minutes each time. A nice accompaniment to Grow Younger,
Live Longer is the CD, The Soul of Healing Meditations,
which presents a simple approach to growing younger through a
series of eight meditations guided by Dr. Chopra.
In his latest literary work, Spontaneous Fulfillment of
Desire: Harnessing the Infinite Power of Coincidence,
Dr. Chopra first sets the groundwork for his overall purpose by
proving through quantum physics and examples in nature that we
are governed by a non-local spirit or intelligence and there are
endless possibilities for our life patterns. By paying attention
to the guidance given by this non-local energy through coincidences
in our lives, we may begin living a life where miracles, as we
currently perceive them, are an integral part of our daily activities.
As we become aware of the synchronicities in our lives and take
action guided by these happenings, we will understand that miracles
are merely the result of our following the inspiration and hints
given by our non-local self, which many refer to as our High Self
or God Self.
Synchrodestiny, a term coined by Dr. Chopra, is in his own words,
“When you live your life with an appreciation of coincidences
and their meanings, you connect with the underlying field of infinite
possibilities. This is when the magic begins.” In the second
half of Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire, Dr. Chopra lists seven
principles of synchrodestiny, one for each day of the week, along
with a Sanskrit sutra (a mantra with a meaning) and several exercises
to enable full understanding of the principle.
Another medium Dr. Chopra uses to convey his message is audiocassette
recordings of his dialogues with individuals who have complementary
messages. Examples of some of the dialogue partners are Rosa Parks,
Kenny Loggins and Yogi Amrit Desai. Although the dialogues consist
mainly of the guest's discussion, Dr. Chopra's personality
and sense of humor is predominant as he interacts with the speaker.
 Dr.
Barbara De Angelis, Ph.D.'s dialogue with Dr. Chopra on Relationships
as a Bridge to Divine was exceptionally inspirational
and entertaining. Dr. De Angelis, an internationally recognized
expert on human relations and the author of numerous bestselling
books, is an entertaining and fun teacher, especially when she
describes an old boyfriend as a “karmic delivery boy”
and is most appreciative of the lesson brought. Guidance she received
on an airplane from one of her non-local mentors perfectly aligned
with Dr. Chopra's underlying message: “Barbara, whatever
the question is, the answer is love.”
Even in his novels, such as Soulmate and The
Return of Merlin, Dr. Chopra remains consistent, yet versatile,
in communicating his message of the importance of understanding
we are love, merely masked by the facade of our physical adventure.
How fortunate we are to be blessed by such a remarkable individual
who has devoted his life to sharing such a genuine and truthful
message in a manner that so many may comprehend.
