Summary: Bridging the gap with spirituality
Review: Biology in Western science has no capacity for the concept of soul because it is so embedded in a materialistic model Chopra shows us how close quantum physics is getting to understanding the soul, more expansively spirit, and how that can be applied in the biological model. It is only until we can grasp the praciticality of spirituality and bridge the gap between the realms of religion and science that we will understand the true meaning of health As usual Chopra does a great job laying out the science on the lattice work of Vedanta

Summary: Oneness
Review: Deepak has, in my opinion, written a transparent and empowering book on the reality that is just beyond our physical ability to see. The knowledge contained within this book is not new, rather it is hidden wisdom built up by the ancients over millennia, that Dr Deepak has sought to communicate to a wider audience through this book. The belief that we are all energy and interconnected on a level higher than our physical form, has been conveyed by many in the past, with limited success. Dr Deepak's approach differs greatly from others in that he is not encapsulating his words of truth in religious dogma or informing the kind of fragmention that often occurs when one seeks to own something that was created and visioned by many. As one who came to the book fully converted to the 'oneness' concept, many of the points made by Dr Cheepak were easily digestable to me. I feel that the a-religious style adopted by him, coupled with the absense of gargon and easily transferable ideas presented in the book makes it an easy and extremely empoering book to read.

Summary: The Conscious Universe --- by Deepak Chopra
Review: Expressing the Conscious Universe is how we are...it's what we do. Everyone is an expression of doing whatever we are doing at a given point in time, and at the moment I am typing this review sharing my experience of where my consciousness lives.

If the ocean is an expression of the vastness of our consciousness and each wave that ebbs and flows in an out of existence represents our life, then when our life ends it goes back into the all of our existence to form a new wave of consciousness again, and each time it blends with the all of everything there is and has been forever, then the next time we are able to bring ourselves up to another level of understanding that enriches each of us and is a benefit to the whole of creation.

Just a note...when Deepak shares at the end of this lesson that when we are looking at anything from our view in our consciousness such as a flower, or a tree or a beautiful sunset or our Beloved...that it is God seeing Himself or Herself through His eyes and that is all.I was so moved by these words that I listened over and over again so I could experience that moment of realization...beautiful and thought provoking.
