Deepak Chopra's current writing, which I posted a few weeks ago, may be getting 
into the area of henotheism or derivatives of of it.  His ideas seem be 
evolving into non-traditional concepts, outside the basis of TM or the 
parampara of Shankara.  Perhaps he can explain further his views in his next 
book or editorials.

Interesting link, thanks. 

 Reading definitions, it seems coexisting in one movement a henotheistic 
faith-based side of ™ would be pantheists and non-devotee ‘spiritual but not 
religious’ Unified Field practitioners of ™ evidently would be panentheists.

The benefits of eating organic—particularly produce—are that produce grown 
under organic standards have been shown to provide significantly greater 
amounts of powerful compounds called phytochemicals (i.e., plant 
chemicals)—which have potent fat-fighting, age-defying, antioxidant 
properties—while reducing exposure to potentially harmful pesticide residues, 
heavy metals, 
and antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
