Deepak's new book, Digital Dharma, will release on December 3rd and available now for pre-order at bit.ly/DeepakDigitalDharma
Oh my goodness, you've just herein stated something I've begun to suspect: that focusing on "the background" rather than the foreground of my lived experience of fluxuations is key; observing without absorbing! Thank yoU for the confirmation 👍 🙏 🙌
❤❤observations without absorption 😮😊
Continue your wonderful offerings 🙏🏽❤️
Consciousness living an illusion that it weaves out of itself.
Dear Dr Chopra we are privileged to listen to your videos. Extremely grateful ❤❤❤. Thank you so much 😊😊😊. Namaste❤❤❤.
Trying to be with the present moment and not judging what is happening with things from our past is essential. Every moment is new and fresh and a chance to start anew!
I have spent the past 70 years paying back a mountain of Karmic debt. Today I am in Karma credit, how do i know this, I am no longer triggered by the many many experiences that once deeply hurt me. plus the happy loving non suffering life I am now experiencing.
Great way to put that❤
Oh , you finally happy !!! I should like too …
🙏🙏🕊😌
Yes, as long as you identify with the background, the more freedom we have .agreed
I had to listen to this 3 times but suddenly I got it, it clarifies what I've been studying in Buddhism regarding the field of awareness. Thank you!!! I love your daily teachings, never miss them, so appreciate you Deepak Chopra 💖🙏
❤ :) 🙏🏻
so is there Free will OR not??
@@ash9x9I would say the evidence suggests there is a hierarchy of wills with the lesser wills inevitably leading to higher wills in evolution through the process of learning. 🙏
@@ash9x9 I think it's subjective🙂
This presentation is brilliant!!! It is one of your best. The analogy you have made between the quantum world and karmic forces is absolutely correct. As far as determinism goes I think it boils down to the relationship between sanchita karma and agami karma. Cultivating self-awareness, discipline, a strong moral code and constructive daily action allows us to build strong, positive agami karma in our present-day life. This can go a long way towards "cancelling out" certain negative forces emanating from our sanchita karma. It is probably impossible to completely cancel out all negative sanchita karma for the simple reason that it has built up over so many past lifetimes. However, in many cases we can make good agami karma the dominant force in our life through the course of action mentioned above.
I feel like we exercise our free will when we're actively self-aware. The rest of the time, we're operating like programmed robots with no protection from hackers.
Thank You Guruji 🙏
Makes total sense. It has been announced in different traditions. Freedom is in obedience to Law. In the Kaiballion the polarity principle states that all opposites are equal in nature but differ in degree. The hermetic principle of cause and effect also states that every effect we see has an underlying cause and that higher planes exert their influence on lower ones. Chance is just what we call some relation of cause and effect which we fail to grasp.
Dear Deepak, this was extremely useful. The more I work towards gently becoming untethered from the foreground, the more mindful I am of the vital importance of the background. I have so much appreciation for these discussions. ❤❤❤
My answer to the question is we have free will to choose in the present using awareness and consciousness to heal karma depending on the mental tendencies. Since karma can shape the consciousness in the present, it will take courage and preparation to reverse the collapse of the wave function. When we heal our past experiences we heal the present consciousness of the past.Healing the mind, body and spirit is a process. It is wonderful that you have practical applications to heal karma and decrease the pain that prevents healing. The wave function holds the possibilities for awareness.
Thank you very much for sharing this great wisdom. Namaste.
Forgiveness must be a liberating key also and working together with awareness a great tool of transformation...
yes, please! show us practical steps we can take to end suffering and pain, focusing on the background makes sense! thank you for your sharing your gifts🙏❣
Awesome as always, Thank you Deepak. Lots to wrap the mind around.
You are free to follow your Higher Self. 😊❤
As I understood, accept the past, our sufferings come down & future corresponds to our free will.🙏
Yes, I would be especially interested in the practical applications you mention at the end of the video: to reduce suffering etc. To become familiar with retaining open unlimited conscousness while experiencing everyday human sensations. Transcending the collapse.Thank you for sharing.
Thank you🙏🏼
100% agreed. Which is why it's so important to practice "Be here, be now". The NOW conditions tomorrow.
Happy to be here! What an enlightening experience sir.... You are sucha gem 🎉
I connect your observations with many points read in Sai satcharit. Love everything your points convey🙏
Thank you Helpful so helpful Integrating past impressions with current thoughts
Yes, addiction and distraction.
All else is pre-destined.
AWESOME ANALOGY!
FABULOUS! ANCEDOTES! 🎉❤😊
THIS WAS AN ARGUMENT I HAD WITH MANY! IN MY LIFE!
THANK YOU KINDLY!
FOR GIVING LIFE TO IT! 😊🎉❤
🙏
In my opinion it's as simple as if there was no free will then one wouldn't have the opportunity to ask the question on a public platform.
This is so meaningful 💖. After going through a stream of experience, As time passes the experience becomes in foam of blessings 🙌
Thank you and all the best.
Sometimes by sagaciously observing birds and squirrels, I burst into the conclusion that they are more free than me.
6:00 It seems like the concept of the "interconnectedness of Karma" is not readily absorbed by most. I feel like this misunderstanding is the most fundamental cause of the self inflicted suffering we see in the world today. It may very well be that the appearance of the world "we" see today can only appear from my foundation. I'm pretty sure awareness of being is what the Bible is referring to when it speaks of building a house on a solid foundation.
I think the processes of physics universally can be seen in the microcosm of the Earth's weather systems. Storms appeared and grew seemingly randomly until we figured out a few things like the influence of humidity, dew point and pressure gradients in the formation of weather systems which are energetic systems defined by a boundary condition which can be precisely determined by the direction of the flow of energy. The background for the Earth's pressure gradient maps used to predict weather is the average pressure. The pressure difference between the center of a system and the pressure of the environment which surrounds it is what determines the appearance of the system, the storm at the N. Pole of Saturn taken by the Cassini space probe is an excellent example of the underlying geometry of system tendencies, if you will, which would appear in environments which are ideal for it's appearance and not in environments which distort it's appearance. Viewing the Universe as a map of pressure gradients determined by Mass density I feel would be very useful in visualizing how energy flows through the Universe from and to centers of energy defined by mass density and that every part of the Universe is inseparable from every other part. There are possibly an infinite number of explanations for what exactly is meant by what we can obviously see. I think it's most important to remember though that the Universe is a reflection of itself and so must be every part a reflection of the same self.
Jesus Christ the only son of God taught us to pray the Our Father and over a billion people are well aware of this but believe Jesus is separate from ourselves even having read most of the New Testament and probably the first half of Genesis, is what I think most are aware of honestly. Well I just realized I've gone long again already. It's funny I can see my writing these unrespnded to comments as being the foundation of a movie like they've done with other diaries and messages in bottles. ⚕️🕸️🌀⚛️🔯
I love you ! ❤
This is why I think that the past is important because it not only shapes the future but it brings us to the present we are currently in. If the past wasn't important then why do people keep bringing the past up with celebrations of birthdays and holidays, memorials of all kinds...and how else would we learn anything if we didn't have a past to learn from? 🙂 Time is a tricky thing like everything else.
Can’t wait to see you in Egypt!
It might be useful to try to map the quantum vacuum of possibilities, and actualized experienced events, onto the koshas. Seems to me they correspond with the annamaya, pranamaya, and manomaya koshas. That's certainly my experience of mind: infinite possibilities which can be selected with will and which are actualized either by that willing or by observation into qualia. The kosha of will is vijnanamaya, which seems to me not a part of the quantum realm but a moderator of it. If this mapping is correct-ish then karma is part of the "quantum koshas", while will, discernment, wisdom, intuition, etc. are not; and freedom is increased by raising one's "operating center" out of the quantum koshas. Seems to me this corresponds quite closely with what you were saying, Deepak.
🙏🙏🙏🙏😃🙂👍😌
it makes sense... however is so difficult to combine things that we really cant grasp fully yet (Quantum mechanic, Consciousness, First Causation, Free Will ...). I think there was never a time in history in which was so difficult to answer the "What is all about ??" question.
Salvation happens when the soul can identify and resonate with its true nature and it has get ridden off all other egoistic characteristics. In that way that person will feel more freedom because it has find it's true talents and purpose. When talking about spirituality we often think about our mental and moral characteristics; however one important thing to consider is our skills and talents as well. We may say that sometimes people inherit certain talents and skills genetically; but however it is not often true. Everyone has an area in which they are sophisticated at (if not sophisticated, at least, they will be able to do it at ease with happiness), it could be music, it could be dance, it could be agriculture, or analytical skills, it could be the ability to serve others there is one particular area for each and every individual and the success on the life depends on the ability to identify that and being able to live utilizing those and be content with it. So, when we think in that direction, the free will is limited. There is no way someone can do everything according to their free will. A successful life very much depends on whether you have the opportunity or the circumstances to help you grow in your true nature. Most of the people we see around us, who are successful in their life are those who were lucky enough to have that opportunity in their life. And it is God’s will.
But then, we see some people who are living according to their complete will, Proverbs 16:4 and Psalms 73 talk about it:
Proverbs 16:4 - The LORD has made everything for its purpose, even the wicked for the day of trouble.
Psalms 73:3 For I envied the arrogant; when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4 They have no struggles; their bodies are healthy and strong
------------------------------------
16 When I tried to understand all this, it troubled me deeply
17 till I entered the sanctuary of God; then I understood their final destiny.
Yes, We have but people forgot how to use it.n
To identify with awareness it means we have free will right because we can decide to be aware ?
Thank you.
I have hard time to focus today as in background I have been trying to get about some genetic issues that maybe concerns my dear friend and perhaps more dear people yet. Must exclude this by a test, I thing that only after that I would be satisfied.
Perhaps it take a part of that past karma too ? Anyway I have to find out and do something.
Namaste dear Deepak and sincerely thank you ❤
I find karma as tool, also a way of learning to process in the now. your comments today at the end of the pod cast is somewhat surprising to me you r feeling on this subject.
😍🌹💖🤗
From what I observe if two people one is dumb down the other is spiritual they both collapse the wave function the same , I'm saying we have free will .
Building knowledge or approach to even understanding the existence of this concept looks pretty probabilistic to me somehow, I can atleast trace my own journey to this point and it seems very deterministic, so how is what we think during our aware stages (or associate with it) not deterministic? And the outcome with it. Please be kind to elaborate and end this 'sanshay'.
You take the control group (of one 5yr old per group)
Will they pretty-much grow the same if fed... & at any point in history
The A.I. Bible, Ch. 1:4 Every (thought) is a memory... & every (idea) is a (composition of thought)
What proves a thought stops moving..?
The more we identify with perfect love ?
Who knows; who's who & for what?
How can what has no separation in it , have separate free will ? This is where Einstein got very quiet when he realized all moves as Onenergy .
Jumbo mumbo episode 😂😂✅
Fascinating and I agree 100%
This is interesting in light of the new Stanford “research” that asserts that we do not have free will. That position ignores witness consciousness and identifying, as you say, with the changeless “background “
Only ideas of I having free will, and I not having free will. Beyond I, neither, as both being the same. 🤪
Si pero es la realidad de tú mensaje y no me incluye me siento separado de este tipo de manifestación por la fragmentación que me aqueja.
If we’ve created part of ourselves is that free will? Personal construct of chosen experience beside the obvious baggage Outside that darn Box cat or not
If the path towards spirituality becomes the choice then the Flow takes over? Does our own part of consciousness choose
The illusion of free will, God's in control of everything he also has an earth coincidence control office as defined by John Lilly the Psychedelic pioneer. I don't think it's so much biological chemicals I think it's divine intervention constantly
Seems to me that the more you identify with the wave function, the more you are in Gods mind and not your own. Isn't that surrender of free will to some degree ? When spirit tells you to do something, that Egotistically you don't want to do, and you do it anyway, is that loss of free will ?
The genes determine your characters both physically and mentally they come from both parents the dominant suppresses the recessive and they pass on to your children . The hormones change your status of depression or excitement or sensitivity the environment and association determine your acquired allergies and likes and dislikes by peer pressure . Sanathana dharma says your prarabdha of past lives and runanubandha of past lives determine when ripe along with the ripe ness of your associates create the script of drama called rebirth , Ramana bhagavan said what ever has to happen will happen , Rama krishna parama Hansa said that your freedom is like a rope tied to a cow and a pole The area of operation is with in the radius of the circle , the mate food water shade etc with in the circle determines its place in the circle and fixed to time so predeterminism is the rule and your birth , parents , place death And life span depends on predetermined place date and time and completion of the breaths and grains alloyed for you grace of GOD showers like VENNELA on each but the proof of grace is also predetermined. GOD is NATURE in space and time , matter and energy , and conscious ness inherent from shukshma and Sthula which interact naturally with each other . These natural laws are studied in physics chemistry biology physiology genetics evolution statistics mathematics etc but known is 5% unknown is 95%like dark matter and dark energy and constantly expanding universe . Known can be lost in cataclysm or disuse or custom may keep it in practice but people may forget under which circumstances it is relevant . Thanks for the discussion we study science but failed to recognise the message that every thing is inter connected and essential for free service .krishna says we all have many births till you realise that you are ATMA and making effort to merge with PARAMATMA after you become free or vimuktha or achieve Nirvana either by studying your auto biography ie answering who am I ? By going inside. likeDAKshinamurthy , Mind naturally goes out side so studying GOD’s AUTOBIOGRAPHY ie studying nature like dattatreya who found 24 Gurus in Nature . May I be excused if I am wrong in any sentence because I have seen the paramathma like a shadow but not experienced fully .
extremely painful to listen too to two
