From: Deepak Chopra To: Michael Shermer CC: "[email protected]" <[email protected]>, Leonard current email Mlodinow Subject: Re: Non local Awareness is not personal Date: Sat, 14 Jan 2017 23:57:43 +0000 Deepak Chopra is an assumed conditioned identity . The conditioning is cultural, economic , historical , scientific and possibly religious . My questions have occupied the greatest minds in both eastern and western philosophy and have to do with fundamental reality . If matter is fundamental reality how did it learn to think, experience wonder, mystery, bewilderment, reverence , humility, awe , ecstasy, transcendence and also skepticism? Why does it want to know itself? Brushing away these ontological and epistemological issues will not do . Calling it an emergent property without explaining how or why, is , in my opinion ( my brain's opinion if you will , is a cop out ) Love Deepak Chopra 2013 Costa Del Mar Road Carlsbad, CA 92013 New Book: Radicalbcauty.com On Jan 14, 2017, at 6:35 PM, Michael Shermer < > wrote: Who is asking who or what is asking who wants to know itself...?
