INSPIRATION #7 Deepak Chopra





Deepak Chopra is an inspirational spiritual teacher and health guru within ayurvedic mind-body medicine. He has written over 50 books published worldwide. He founded the Chopra Center and the Chopra Foundation and has his own radio show broadcasted on Sirius xm.





I'd like to recommend two titles of the Chopra's books I've read. He is a productive and prolific writer and there is a long list of amazing books to chose from. However the first one I'd like to mention is The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success. 








This is a fairly thin book, a practical guide to fulfillment of your dreams... for any beginner. For anyone wishing to get the most out of their lives and see their desires and heart fulfilled. 
It could also be called the seven spiritual laws of life. The book concerns the knowledge of consciousness, it gives you the ability to create unlimited wealth with effortless ease, and to experience success in every endeavor. 


I've found it very exciting to wake up to a practical list of how to fulfill my desires every day. Committing to follow the principles in this book is something we can all do and will all benefit from. I wont reveal more at this point.. just read it is all I can say!  








The Way Of The Wizard


A wizard exists in all of us. 
This wizard sees and knows everything. 
The wizard is beyond opposites of light and dark, good and evil, pleasure and pain. 
Everything the wizard sees has its roots in the unseen world. 
Nature reflects the mood of the wizard. 
The body and the mind may sleep, but the wizard is always awake. 
The wizard possesses the secret of immortality.

Just a small sample from the book, The Way of The Wizard. I love the way Chopra has used the legend of the boy Arthur who lived with the last wizard Merlin in a crystal cave receiving the wisdom of alchemy as a child, stepping into the realm of magic and legends when the boy becomes King Arthur of  Camelot.

This book is a transient read... It succeeds in transcending legend. I actually cried when I reached the end of this book. It felt like I was receiving the holy grail (with the knights in the forest) when Merlin, the last wizard shows (or talks) about the true meaning of the holy grail, of alchemy, of turning base metal into gold. Beautiful. The story is one of mythology. It is the ultimate hero story that all of us can follow and relate to. It really resonates with my heart and just thinking about it makes me want to read it again.
Being in the company of Merlin is as comforting as intense.

When the student is ready the teacher will appear, and when the teacher is 
ready the Master will appear, and when the Master is complete he will look no 
further because he will have arrived at the beginning and realized that he was a 
Wizard all along.

I just found this youtube series online: The Crystal Cave where Deepak Chopra talks about the Way of the Wizard and the legend of Merlin and King Arthur of Camelot. ENJOY!!
