If you look at all the notions we accept about who we are, you find that they are all based upon our perceptual experiences.
Deepak ChopraNo matter how much it gets abused, the body can restore balance. The first rule is to stop interfering with nature.
Deepak ChopraWe live in the Age of the Higher Brain, the cerebral cortex that has grown enormously over the last few millennia, overshadowing the ancient, instinctive lower brain. The cortex is often called the new brain, yet the old brain held sway in humans for millions of years, as it does today in most living things. The old brain can't conjure up ideas or read. But it does possess the power to feel and, above all, to be. It was the old brain that caused our forebears to sense the closeness of a mysterious presence everywhere in Nature.
