Convenient Fiction & Mental Health

 

No concept can be had in the absence of awareness.

Deepak Chopra

Going to hook you up with an interesting video from Deepak Chopra, see below.  You may find tis interesting if you are stepping beyond the realms of materialistic science and approaching the Quantum mechanics field of physics.  Or you just might find it interesting if you are some "weird" person like me who sees things differently than most do. 

Here are some cool ideas taken from it:

  • Some wisdom traditions tell us , "The universe is one big dream of infinite awareness." 
  • The body is one of many "convenient fictions". It is a modified perception  happening in awareness. It looks so solid and substantial but it is as void as inter galactical space.
  • Nothing modifies itself as everything 
  • The universe is made of nothing yet it appears as everything we can see
  • no concept can be had in the absence of awareness
  • Surrendering to the mystery [of existence] is the solution to the mystery.
  • When we surrender to that mystery, we surrender to our divine Self
  • Without the awareness of existence , there would be no existence
Have a listen for yourself.
All is well 

Deepak Chopra ( November, 2022)  What does it mean to awaken? Oops...I can't find it.  Will include link when I do.

Also came across this cool little video from Deepak Chopra as well on my search to recover the above link. Understanding Mental Health-Ten Steps to Joy. 

Here are the ten steps provided:
  1. Rather than just being optimistic, be  enthusiastic about being a part of this Life 
  2. Find your spiritual and bodily dharma/meaning and purpose which will lead to a higher calling
  3. Use SMART goals
  4. Socially engage, laugh, find humour in Life
  5. Breathe! ( Nasal breath is best)
  6. Soak up the morning sunlight
  7. Plant based nutrition
  8. Read for pleasure
  9. Awaken the mind
  10. Participate in Love in Action= Karma Yoga...Serve!
All is well
