You think this is real because you're in it, you thought your dream was real because you was in it. That's deep

i never heard such a man. His thoughts on consciousness are like a revelation to me

Boom! That ending was amazing. It took me a few minutes to pick my jaw from the floor.

This presenter is great. I've seen about 7 of these videos and he really helps the show with his open questions and good humour

Why do people's hate on Deepak? Is it because hes presenting ideas that are different than the materialistic zombie living way? I think what hes saying makes sense on a Philosophical level or quantum mechanics level. Alot of consiousness has been talked about when it comes to quantum mechanics by very high calibre scientists. This is definitely a topic that should be understood and looked in. It holds solid evidence theoretically and experimentally. Peoples on KZfaq just like making a mockery of someone who's learned through out his life more than them but they think that they know more. The internet is a wild place where dumb people get to speak loud and clear.

I've probably watched hundreds of these videos and this is the first one that really rocked my world...wow..

Deepak is amazing. Especially in this video. Robert is an amazing host as well.

For something different, let us apply a computer metaphor to the One idea. Everything is an abstraction on top of another abstraction. Or layered abstraction levels. The one consciousness has abstractions to create separate consciousness or souls. Incarnation is another abstraction over the soul to get a spirit. The material world is another abstraction of data streams in/out of spirit mind. Deepak is right. You don't go anywhere. You are there right now, next to that granola bar data. Getting closer to truth is stranger than fiction. :-)

Fascinating. However I notice even Deepak falls into using the phrase 'Your Consciousness' - what is MY consciousness if there is only one??

Title of this video should be; Deepak Chopra - Further from Truth

Amazing !!!

thnx both ..tht was intense//.

How did this conman get an interview?! 🤯🤯🤯

The consciousness , is indestructible and eternal. It neither slays, nor can it be slain. It is never, born and it never dies. After coming into existence, it never ceases to be. It is always, permanent and very ancient. It does not suffer, nor can it be tainted. At the time of death it does not die, but leaves the body and enters a new one . Weapons cannot pierce it, fire cannot burn it, water cannot moisten it and wind cannot dry it. It is impenetrable, incombustible, all pervading, stable and immobile. It is invisible, imperceptible and immutable. The Bhagavadgita📖 knows the limitations of human mind to gauge the true nature of the consciousness . Hence, it concurs with the popular notion that no one can exactly know what a consciousness is. One looks at it with great surprise, another speaks about it with great surprise, another hears about it with incredulity and yet another after hearing about it knows it not. The consciousness is superior to everything else in the human being. The senses are great, greater than the senses is the mind, greater than the mind is buddhi and greater than the buddhi is the Self . This is similar to the description of the tattvas (realities) in contrast to the consiousness in the Samkhya. The soul is the highest, eternal reality (tattva), whereas the senses, the mind, intelligence, etc., are finite and dependent realities.

Robert i would love to see an interwiev with Robert Lanza on this topic. He is a real scientist and has similar thought. At leat we can listen how does he approach this topic as a scientist.

Ive heard a real good quote at one time.... god it what you don't know...just be thankful..

That’s one of the best answer of Deepak.. simple and clear world imagined by mind is unreal it appears real because of space time causation.. if we deep dive into time scientifically we will know the way mind experience linear time is illusion..

This is painful.

Got to admit that his points do seem to be fair questions to pose to materialism and empiricism. even though he is at times caught in circular reasoning

Why would eternal consciousness have to be singular?

DC seemed unnecessarily argumentative! However, I agree with what he’s saying, that we are not individual “souls” but rather that consciousness is a universal, and the fundamental reality of our existence. He should have said outright that Heaven, Hell, Reincarnation etc. which depend on an eternally individual soul are all mistaken. Crick said as much in his book “The Astonishing Hypothesis”. So, if consciousness is a universal, when we die, this “me” dissolves back into the melting pot, from which new instantiated forms of “me” (and you, and every sentient being) are continually being formed. As he says, in Vedantic belief there is only one consciousness. That’s what people call God, (or Brahman) and it’s what each of us are fundamentally (Atman = Brahman). Dunno why people are so hostile to him....

how is it you know non of your molecules are the same? i'll grant you it sounds convincing enough.

When people do not get it, it is nonsense for them otherwise it is a live passion.

Depaks last point was kinda mind blowing.

Everything that deepak said seems to be "imaginary" and "nothing" is explained!!

Consciousness does have a plural and that is the group of 'individualized separate awareness's' that are still tied to and interconnected with the whole of consciousness aka the conscious network. I was given the opportunity to visit the birth of this soul and I can say unequivocally that we are indeed granted an individualized consciousness that has an inherent interconnectedness with all other conscious entities. Consciousness is relative. It like the individual nerves and how they relate to the nervous system where all nerves are sensing what they do individually yet all other nerves within the nervous system are informed of the sensation and input although the others may show little or no reaction to the one nerves awareness of that particular sensation.

Deepak is a master at the explanation of concepts whereas Roger is intelligent and has enough knowledge to ask questions and keep Deepak on point. Bravo Roger Bravo to you sir , this guy would trample all over a lesser man. If I listen enough to Deepak I have to put a wet towel over my head just to cool down.

Why is this imaterial consciousness which you can't see, measure, reproduce, make you for the most part experience material reality?

Man, it's so annoying to me that deepok Chopra speaks matter of factly about what's the ultimate truth.

This guy is crazy

Robert should time to time ask question: And you know that how?

Abandon all your senses and you'll know what is real. In other words, one must be insane to learn the truth. Good luck with that.

La Jolla San Diego !!

Of course the "spectra of consciousness" is plural (e.g., the subconscious, the unconscious and the precocious.)

The reason why Alan Watts stopped as a priest: I recognized that I was telling a story to a bunch of egos. The only thing which is real is here and now, everything there is. The real world cannot be explained by words.

Eckhart Tolle... Robert please!

No idea what DC is saying at 5:55. He's not making sense. My whole life, I've been me. We'll always be ourselves, each one of us a part of the whole, God, our Father.

Stop throwing nonsense against Closet To Truth.I don't like how Deepak Chopra conveys his ideas of Consciousness but the interviewer of 'Closer To Truth' is doing a great job by interviewing all point of views that is what a mature person does, the interviewer at least is not agreeing with anything Deepak says. Many people are gonna be surprised in the Future about how some Deepak's ideas will have validity in the field of Consciousness. Bizarre as that may sound.

Unpack Chopra Just another way of saying, we don’t understand how the brain works so consciousness must be caused by something other than mental processes or it’s something outside of physical reality or other woo woo nonsense

question for deepak: did you bear any evidence of continuity from your dream when you returned to the waking state like you do from day to day each time you wake up out of actual dreaming into still having bills to pay, a mark where you cut yourself shaving, and things on your day planner that you shceduled a month ago?

DMT molecule can shape an entire civilization..

without watching his response i can already tell you he will say: the soul is the non-dual non-local ultimate reality always already available when we realize we are the transcendent consciousness in quantum superposition that merely pops in and out of the illusion of so-called material existence.... the soul is what we already are, when the superstition of scientific materialism is relinquished and the deeper reality is correctly perceived by the perceiver who calls all of apparent existence into being. now to watch and see how close i got to predicting his word salad of pseudointellectual concepts.. ;)

How to talk "fancy" , "dubious" nonsense wich you have no evidence for but sounds right and intriging with deepak chopra

He is right. Chopra is right. If a human being loses his body, what remains is his CREATIONAL ENERGY or spirit, the bearer and user of comprehensive memory block. Which is the only part of our self that is immortal

i refuse to believe this....he had granola for dinner?

That is so sad... All these personal attacks, ridicules and ad hominems, without really providing any counter argument! Way to go to get Closer To Truth I guess! And no I'm not a fan of this guy or in fact any particular person in general. After listening to what he says and as a physicist (shifted to philosophy of science couple of years ago) I know for a fact that many many quantum physicists, many founders of our current scientific paradigm and even the philosophers many of you would praise taken as granted! said very similar things! I guess ignorance is bliss for most people on this planet. These days wannabe intellectuals who simply took for granted the handed on the plate scientific definitions without even knowing those definitions, are not simply looking to find the truth (whatever it may be or not), they simply want the truth to be what they like it to be! And that is freaking dangerous, stupid and narrowminded. Welcome to the church of wannabe intellectuals! Way to go indeed!

Whaat? Your memories are not local to your brain?

he makes sense, but not verifiable

I tend to enjoy Deepak's ideas when he starts, but every time be becomes progressively more disappointing the longer he speaks. Robert made the valid point that he can't imagine being himself before he was born (ie. oblivion) and Deepak glibly says, "I can imagine it" and talks about vicariously experiencing Robert before he was born (when he can't vicariously experience Robert now, let alone before he was born, as per Nagle). When Robert questioned him about that, Deepak was glib again, claiming that Robert's current consciousness is experienced vicariously. Then he takes the angle that memories are vicarious consciousness because they are not found at the cellular level in the brain. That is not really true, because the states and activities of neurons are shaped to some extent by experience as surely as ruts in the ground are formed by running water. It is true that oblivion does not happen while life remains. Minds on Earth switch on and off (are born and die) but there are always minds (at this stage). But a personal oblivion ... the loss of the entity that you know as yourself ... that seems to happen every time we sleep or are rendered unconscious anyway. It's hard to imagine that being dead will leave one more conscious than when asleep or under anaesthesia. Perhaps the secret to the afterlife lies in time dilation during people's death dreams in the last few minutes of brain oxygen? If the dilation is great enough as the brain shuts down, a subjective afterlife up to brain death could feel like a very long time.

This is the problem when you speak with a self help book writers, there is a strong necessity to be right for the sake if the image.

8:26. Loses his train of thought and sputters while fishing for words

I think that the only real trickster in the video is Deepak chopra. Like: hi! oh look that bird. (2 seconds later..) gosh look what I found on the floor just in front of you! That's a gold ring! It's your luck day. Want to purchase for just EU$ 20?????

Of course you can imagine your own non-existence. You didn't for billions of years. And you won't for billions or even trillions after. A heavy sleep or a coma is a foretaste of death. It's simply non-consciousness.

of course your memory was in your brain. Every time I listen to chopra he confirms his ignorance. We may not understand how the memory is extracted yet... it is there though. that is a fact.

If anyone wants to understand what talking nonsense is; all you have to do is listen to Deepak Chopra.

Deepak Chopra... seriously?

kuhn actually does a good job here of trying to get deepcrap to reason philosophically and say something definitive beyond his word salad.... good luck!

Chpra is a bit like Paul of Christianity. Makes it all up and people believe them.

God lives. There is a causal agent behind all that there is. I will not be deceived

I can't believe there isn't more down votes. I almost want to unsubscribe to this channel now. What next, Katy Perry on Time Travel?!

the fuck?

Time to break out the voodoo dolls and Ouija board... More believable than Deepak will ever be.

Lol Deepak how much more eloquent BS can he spit? Amazing!

Master of Woo Woo

Mr. Chopra is an easterner putting westerners in their place using English words ( their own language) to show us we aren't the smartest boys on the block. And we never were. Just lucky . . . sometimes. You don't realize how much joy it gives me to be able to say that. Life in western culture is often akin to hell on Earth. Not that i expect eastern culture to be any better in an absolute sense. hahahahahahahahha

Deepak's net worth is 80 million $ . For sure he doesn t like to be poor in the universal consciouseness :)

Demented Deepak. The King of Mumbo Jumbo.

I think the Deepak is full of ....

Utter nonsense

One thing is certain about Deepak; His soul would be wearing weirdo glasses when he dies...

Why you wasting time with this fraud (Deepak chopra)

He shouldn’t even get airtime he’s a loon

char·la·tanˈSHärlədən,ˈSHärlətn/nounnoun: charlatan; plural noun: charlatansa person falsely claiming to have a special knowledge or skill; a fraud.

Absolute non-sense.

God is not a trickster and this guy Deepaak talks a whole lot of garbage!

"What Would an Immortal Soul be Like?" Who would interview this clown about nonsense?

What drivel
