One of Time Magazine's Top 100 most influential people, Deepak Chopra is the author of more than 50 books, cofounder of the Chopra Center, and one of the world’s greatest leaders in mind-body medicine. Join us for a special event and book signing with Chopra for the launch of his latest book, Reinventing the Body, Resurrecting the Soul. The book takes readers on a spiritual journey to the highest vision of themselves by undergoing three spiritual and psychological steps: soul shift, subtle action, and core participation.
1. The Soul Shift: You must stop seeing yourself
in materialistic terms. You aren't a physical body controlled by genes. You are
a soul that expresses itself by creating a body, every minute of every day. The
soul is connected to the unlimited intelligence and energy of the universe. By
shifting your self image to a soul image, you can reconnect with the universe
and its unlimited potential. This first step-shifting your allegiance to the
soul-opens up unknown possibilities at every level.
2. Subtle Action: Before the soul creates the
physical body, it creates a subtle body entirely out of information and
intelligence. This is your ideal self, embodying your spiritual vision of your
unlimited potential. The reason we all identify with beauty, truth,
immortality, and perfection is that those qualities exist inside us already.
Most of us have lost touch with that ideal self, and to heal this rift readers
will undertake a program of subtle action, taking them through addiction to
craving, to attachment, to intention, to subtle intention, to the ultimate
goal: choice-less awareness. In this state you are aligning yourself with your
soul, and as each subtle action is felt throughout the mind-body system, the
result is physical and mental rejuvenation-for nothing is younger than the
higher self, which is eternal.
3. Core Participation: Once you have reconnected
to your source, a revolution takes place, and spirit is resurrected in physical
life. Each of us is capable of being a resurrected soul-we can realize our
highest vision of life-but to do this, we must live by the natural laws of the universe,
instead of trying to live in isolation outside them. The very laws that cause
the ecosystem to evolve, that hold the biosphere together and safeguard the
code of life, are at our disposal for personal growth.
