Wow! I just tuned into the Expanded States World Summit to listing to Deepak Chropra's opening talk. So many gems, but his final message spoke so deeply to me as it is exactly what I've been working on within myself and preparing to share with others through the breathwork sessions that I am developing at the moment.
Asked by the interviewer, "How do you see a possibility for this occurring with all that we know now?"
Deepak replies:
"If a number of people, critical mass of people, were enjoying full of experience every day. And I've tried to summarize these four elements and four simple statements, which also have become part of our ritual for meditation.
So these four experiences:
Number one, joyful, energetic body. Number two, loving, compassionate heart. Number three, the quiet, creative mind. And number four, lightness of being, or joy, the most important return to the state of innocence, if enough of these experiences were happening in the world, a critical mass with a joyful, energetic body, loving, compassionate heart, clear, reflective, creative mind and joy, we would have a world that would be more peaceful, just sustainable, healthier and joyful.
The worst use of our imagination. The worst use of our imagination is the stress that comes from the separate mind. It has created nuclear weapons, biological cyber warfare, poison in our food chain, contamination of the environment, climate change, mechanized ways of killing each other and extinction of species and loss of joy.
Loss of joy, which is our fundamental state. Every child is full of joy. We call them bundles of joy. When we lose that, we have lost our humanity. So right now is either we sleep walk to extinction, or we wake up and help each other create a more joyful, more peaceful and healthier world. It's our choice."
