That I am not my experiences is very obvious. I am the one who is having those experiences. Spirituality has nothing to do with experience.
Deepak ChopraLife is the coexistence of all opposite values. Joy and sorrow, pleasure and pain, up and down, hot and cold, here and there, light and darkness, birth and death. All experience is by contrast, and one would be meaningless without the other.
Deepak ChopraThe reason why life is a sleep & dream for most people is because their awareness is caught up with past or future & not with what is.
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.
