Deepockets Off The Deep End 

File under: Gurubusting and The Siddhi of PR

Deepak Chopra, hot off his cameo in the recent flop, The Love Guru, 
lets us into his wacky world in an extensive interview in Newsweek:
In a shopping mall in London, Chopra is explaining the connection 
between a journalist and his coffee cup. This is you,'' he says, 
pointing to the cup. You think it's a cup, but it isn't.'' Dressed 
in workout clothes, with no cell phone or watch, Chopra seems 
admirably at ease in the mall, so much so that he doesn't even check 
his placement at the bookstore. It's the conscious energy field 
that is manifesting as the cup and yourself. The same field.'' On the 
five-day silent'' retreats he takes every three months, sometimes 
with his wife, Rita, Chopra says he can actually see this field.
Another day, another guru feeding us absolute nonsense about nondual 
truth. Not that there isn't a shared source of being between a person 
and a cup, just that it's never been something anyone would be able 
to see, outside the projection of their own imaginings about it.

But that is the New Age™ way, and Deepockets is the most Indian New 
Age™ guru, so it makes perfect sense he'd spew a gaffe like this in 
Newsweek, despite our disappointment at finding out just how full of 
it he really is.

One of the few times I agree with Jody. As usual Deepak confounds intellectual 
understanding with experience.
