oneworld-990x300Deepak Chopra: One World

Deepak Chopra, M.D is the author of more than 65 books, including numerous New York Times bestsellers. His medical training is in internal medicine and endocrinology, and he is a Fellow of the American College of Physicians, a member of the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, and an adjunct professor of Executive Programs at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University.

He is also a Distinguished Executive Scholar at Columbia Business School, Columbia University, and a Senior Scientist at the Gallup organization. For more than a decade, he has participated as a lecturer at the Update in Internal Medicine, an annual event sponsored by Harvard Medical School’s Department of Continuing Education and the Department of Medicine, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. Chopra speaks and writes regularly about metaphysics, the study of consciousness and Vedanta philosophy. He is a philosophical idealist, arguing for the primacy of consciousness over matter and for purpose and intelligence in nature – that mind, or “dynamically active consciousness,” is a fundamental feature of the universe.

In this view, consciousness is both subject and object. It is consciousness, he writes, that creates reality; we are not “physical machines that have somehow learned to think … [but] thoughts that have learned to create a physical machine.” He argues that the evolution of species is the evolution of consciousness seeking to express itself as multiple observers; the universe experiences itself through our brains: “We are the eyes of the universe looking at itself.” He opposes reductionist thinking in science and medicine, arguing that we can trace the physical structure of the body down to the molecular level and still have no explanation for.

OMTimes: You are often the one being interviewed by Media, how do you like hosting your own TV program? One World.

Deepak Chopra, M.D: ONE WORLD gives me an opportunity to listen deeply and understand people at their core level. Although, I interview some very extraordinary people and they have amazing success stories I want to know what inspires them. I also want to know what their deeper identity is, who their role models are, what their peak experiences are like and what their back-story is. This not only gives me insight into their success story but deep insight into the nature of personal transformation which is the transformation and evolution of consciousness.
