If reality is an illusion does anything matter?

[@JAYNicole520]

Much easier to visualize and understand the journey of self with your explanation. As well as, how we contribute to the collective and it’s repetitive cycles. Thank you 🙏🏽 I will work more on this.

Dear Dr Chopra You were ,are ,will be ,my teacher . I learn so much from your books, seminars, conferences, videos .(it’s been for many years I am your follower) Thank you

[@tonynes3577]

One event in my life was good and satisfying. Another event in my life was unsatisfying and frustrating. Why do I choose to focus on the frustrating? Just let it go and focus and nurture the good in my / our life. All events are dreams and events and they all will pass. Nothing is forever. It's like a movie playing in front of us.😮Thanks Deepak.

So well explained it brought me to tears...and I'm not even sure why. The projection of I AM in "Deepak Chopra" is a gift to the Whole to see Itself the most clearly of all.

Living with the flow is the only way to success in consciousness...with a clear state of mind in moving forward with joy.I feel free moving forward knowing my inner being. Thank you for your enlightening me and your hard work work ❤️🙏

It was so magical finding my answers which was hidden in the heart of someone so true and in another part of the world 🌎 ✨️ ♥️ Blessings 🙌

Thank you 🙏✨️

[@schmoh88]

I think, if we’re here collectively living this ‘dream’ , then it matters or has a reason. Whatever reason that may be, (we clearly don’t know) but we’re here together. May as well just live.

[@ambigainaidoo673]

True Self really matters. It leads forward to directions knowing your true self and knowledging your final journey ✨️ ❤️

Dear Deepak, this was deeply profound and yet so perfectly understood. Thank you. ❤❤❤

Thank you master DEEPAK: No Resistance to Existance❤

[@ambigainaidoo673]

That shows that experiences experienced in normal state of consciousness are the same as experiencing Devine consciousness,comes and goes like a dream. ❤🙏✨️

[@ambigainaidoo673]

Its all so true 👍 When you live with consciousness is living with the flow. The choices are not one desire or makes. What ever is destined ✨️ will be.🙏🙏🙏💕

Wouldn't it matter if we created an illusion that reflected our true nature?

Keep at it Deepak!! This is a force to be reckoned with & the dynamic of this energy is pure love. Both in the subtle & profound, the “I” that we are is expressing its creativity by your willingness to be of service..🙏🏽

[@tdiddle8950]

Very well said. Important stuff for understanding the nature of reality. I often use the concept of "the invincibility of the soul..."we can engage in life, knowing that the true part of our self is actually inextinguishable and safe.

Does it matter, I don't mind when unwanted events happen, which makes me free... unattached to the events or dreams as you put it .. So beautiful feelings came to me, the tears came to my eyes but I was happy to hear you and feel you as I'm Thanks for sharing. You are so generous ❤

[@tamashaharrold9167]

Thank you!! I totally agree and thank you for the clarity! I was leaning more to the side if that nothing matters when it does and doesn't because it feels real!

[@kellysueduncan]

Wow...this was excellent. I love the explanation. IT matters, it isn't real. I think what we put into the universe matters, if we put negativity then we only hurt ourselves. For a collective conscious to keep growing, I think we must believe IT matters. IT is all that there is really. 😊

One of the most important talks I have heard so far. I have saved it everywhere so I can refer to it time and time again. Gives me peace and frees me

[@szkhan954]

It's truly fascinating how your knowledge and reflections have led you to contemplate reaching the timeless being. Exploring questions like why the stage was set and what purpose lies behind it, as well as what He desires from us, is a profound journey. Many religions offer guidance in this quest, suggesting that He desires to be discovered by His creations, hence keeping His existence somewhat veiled.

That’s exactly what I wanted to hear at this stage of my dream. Thank you Dr. Chopra!

[@whyuconstantlyforget]

infinite self join a finite experince. it will create a mind and body according to this experience. false self(experince based mind) will be derived from experience. but also this false self will project the experience. if u still define urself with ur ego then of course it matters.cause u're bound to this game. if u find ur true self,it's all up to u.cause now u know the game and u may experience it fully and magically.

I ❤ Dr . Deepak Chopra

[@acjunglemusic]

Thanks, had been asking that question for a long time!!

[@Hereness]

The moment the question arises, does it matter or not matter, is the birth of illusion. The unquestionable (no mind) is real beyond the mind. Xx

[@imaginaryuniverse632]

The no mind is real but the mind is it's realization. I don't see any use in no mind. It seems to me illusion is born with the appearance of things to be known which is necessary before questions are possible. 🙏

TRANSCENDENCE

[@robertbehrendt3015]

Dr Chopra is more than willing to share his intellectual understanding of this profound topic. However, the reality is that the process of reflecting on it is illusory. Understanding reality is predicated on transcending thought in meditation and expanding our awareness beyond the impressions of past experience. This allows us to realize, more and more, that the mind, intellect, ego and senses are finite faculties of our temporal existence and materialist identity. We can choose to turn our attention inward, in meditation, to experience our non-material spiritual essence directly. Experience is the best teacher. TV 12:06

[@kathyadams5963]

Omg, Deepak, really, i needed to hear this~this morn. Perfect timing on your video. I'm about ready to go flipping crazy in the past couple days. I absolutely are with everything you said today, so...now what? 😂 no, seriously, and this feels serious to me. I can totally see why people don't want to see..make sense? To me, things have felt like a circus esp when i just sit back and observe everything that's going on. I also can, and do, look at it as you say. The last couple days, it's gotten to me. This game of life, yea, i feel over it, you know? That doesn't mean i want to take my life. I just feel torn, maybe that's the word. AND for heaven's sake, i would never want to go back before my eyes started to open. This too shall pass, this awkward kinda feeling i have. Yes, this was a great talk. I am going to listen again. Thanks, it was right on time..i was feeling "in between"..i still say, "so now what"?😂..seems so simple~it is not..to accept all this worldy ......

[@rodnyhardman1038]

"Does IT matter" How one crafts or interacts with the "illusion experience" can shape or influence the outcome direction(s,) possibly the intensity level(s), if being measured with some invention of the human artificial construct. So for me it does matter to keep on the infinite possibilities paths.

[@RedHerringMedia]

I think it's mostly the catalogue of compartmentalized concepts we use to describe this reality is the illusion rather than the wholistically fluid nature of reality itself, which is the divine singular dream we are all expressions of.

[@imaginaryuniverse632]

From checking into Samskhya philosophy I feel it can be seen that Prakrita can't be separate from the Spirit. If it were we would almost certainly have found a substance but there is no substance to be found. Everything we experience is the transformation of vibrations, vriti?, where there is no actual thing vibrating. Also that we can experience for ourselves that our individual awareness does not change over time we can infer that awareness is unchangeable everywhere because there is no reason to believe ourselves to be unique in this way in a Universe where it can be demostrated every part of it is absolutely inseparable from the rest as the apparent Universe is a singular expression like an amoeba or a sentence. I review my view of any significant experience as soon as I'm aware that I have had or am having a significant experience in order to try to move toward more rational responses in trying to see all characters as being equal in importance as separate expressions coming together to form a single expression of our being. The Bible says whenever two or more are gathered in agreement Christ, Atman, Self, is in their midst. Agreement means archetypes in my view where stories are compromised with protagonists and antagonists and probably other ists. I feel like it may very well be the case that the appearance of evil in the world is the direct effect of my desire to be good in the world. Where do the bad guys come from in our dreams? 🙏

I believe that the reality is a illusion and our body and mind and I have been reborn what is really funny is I have been having a pain in my lower back which my root chakra I believe I’m not to sure either way I’m coming slowly but surely back into alignment I feel I believe it’s been a little bit of a process I felt I had some karma from another lifetime to blow out lol I just went on a tangent ❤😊

[@bobleclair5665]

I was listening to a video by Nevil Gadard . He mentioned that God is imagination. That made sense to me. Seeing, no one has pictures of god and all is chocked up to faith with many interpretations and beliefs. In the Bible and by many priests and rabbis, I’ve heard that the kingdom of god and heaven is within. Seeing that with thought, imagination,belief and working towards that belief, we co-create our future, our reality. What are your thoughts?

[@enjoynature5261]

So is he saying it does not matter or it does??

[@academiesapienceuniverselle]

Why does trying to do good or bad matter if my personal identity is an illusion? This means that, in the long run, I won't be responsible for anything as a person. Let's say I am a criminal; if this identity is an illusion, then why should I care? Are carelessness and the fear of doing bad things also illusions? If so, why should I listen to you and then try to do good? Since doing good is just a perception (and perceptions aren't real).
