Deepak Chopra in the article from Reuters says:
“I want to offer the possibility that Jesus was truly, as he proclaimed, a savior,” Chopra wrote. “Not the savior, not the one and only Son of God. Rather Jesus embodied the highest level of enlightenment.
“He spent his brief adult life describing it, teaching it, and passing it on to future generations,” he said. “Jesus intended to save the world by showing others the path to God-consciousness.”
In other words we all can obtain a “God consciousness” just like Jesus. What Chopra is teaching is nothing more than pagan Eastern Mysticism which says that we are all “God”. “God” in Eastern Religions is all creation. It says that everything in creation, the rocks, the stars, the planets, bugs, fish, animals, human beings all inclusively make up this single wholistic “God consciousness”. To Eastern Mysticism and Religions there is no such thing as a separation between a Holy and perfect God and fallen and sinful man, we are all one! (Pantheism).
Deepak Chopra puts forward the ideology that to say there is a Holy and perfect God separate from sinful fallen man is nothing more than a “guilt trip”:
“Yet I was struck by the fact that my friends, who were part of the Church, had been indoctrinated into a belief system where guilt was actually a virtue and I couldn’t quite come to terms with that,” Chopra told Reuters in an interview.
“I said to myself there must be a third Jesus, a state of consciousness that I can actually relate to, and I started to really study the New Testament and the Bible,” he said.
Chopra paints this third Jesus as one of both Eastern and Western spirituality.
“Leave aside the differences in the language of it — they are all talking about the same thing,” he said. “So I hope in the very least it will contribute to some healing of the rift in our collective soul, which is the cause of all the wars and all the problems we’re having today.”
Chopra’s “third Jesus” is nothing more than rehashed Hegelian Dialiectic process (Third way) or Synthesis. which basically says that instead of having a Right (thesis) and a wrong (antithesis) you can actually have a synthesis of the two opposing ideologies (combination of the two) therefore no one is completley wrong and by extention no one is completly right!
Hegelian Synthesis is the human root of post-modern inclusivism, however we know who the real root is (Satan). Its introduction by Georg Hegel laid the foundation for the modern ideology of inclusivism and acceptance of all beliefs systems as equally valid. As if there is no single absolute foundation for truth (thesis) then there is no absolute wrong (antithesis) either.
As was shown in an article over at Tonguesoffire: Only God Can Sleep With Everyone
Pantheism, the paganistic and Anti-Christ ideology has crept into Emerging Church beliefs which in turn is a synthesis of pagan Eastern Mysticism and Biblical Teaching. Compare Deepak Chopra’s words with this quote from Mr. Hooten’s article here:
“The greatest human hunger, felt in every cell in our being, is that we cannot be completely united with everyone and everything….”
“In this life, even though our sexuality has geared up for universal embrace, we only have two options that are life-giving: Either we embrace the many through the one (by sleeping with one person within a monogamous marriage) or we embrace the one through the many (be sleeping with no one, in celibacy). Both of these are ways that will eventually open our sexuality up so as to embrace everyone. . . . “
Mr. Hooten’s article is putting forward the idea that when we all go to Heaven, we all become one, and that our sexual craving is actually a subconcious desire to obtain that unity, but we can’t get it here on earth, only when we get to Heaven!
The mindset of this ideology is the same as the Robert Schuller, Joel Osteen, and Rick Warren “Self Esteem” teaching. “I can be like God, I can become God” which originates in none other than Satan himself:
Isaiah 14:12-15:
The Fall of Lucifer
“ How you are fallen from heaven,
O Lucifer, son of the morning!
How you are cut down to the ground,
You who weakened the nations!
For you have said in your heart:
‘ I will ascend into heaven,
I will exalt my throne above the stars of God;
I will also sit on the mount of the congregation
On the farthest sides of the north;
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds,
I will be like the Most High.’
Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol,
To the lowest depths of the Pit.

The New Age movement began when drugged out hippies explored Hinduism and sought for the “third way” between Christianity and Hinduism. Drugs resolved a lot of deep philosophical questions easily and effortlessly. What is striking about the New Age is the lack of concern for good science and the almost total absence of ethics, except for a mystical cult of mother earth which is expressed through ecology. As well, New Age writers ignore rigorous scientific procedures in the rush for a best seller. While Dr. Chopra is a delightfully kind and well-spoken man, he is not a theologian or philosopher by profession. He does not present a scrupulously researched scholarly view of Jesus, but a personal view based on his intuition. His is the touchy-feely New Age approach. Mind you, he does give his approval to the golden rule and non-aggression. So did Ghandi. Chopra’s book about Jesus presents ideas that the average Hindu has when he thinks about Jesus: “Oh, another guru! Another messenger of Atman, the Universal Spirit. We already have so many.” There are several “living gods” in India at this instant. As with the canonical Hindu incarnations of God, Jesus is also assumed to be a pious legend. When the great astonomer played golf with a bishop, he said, “You know, bishop, my idea of religion is to do unto others as you would have them do unto to you.” To which the bishop replied, “Yes, dear professor, and my view of astronomy is: twinkle, twinkle, little star.” I suppose we who appreciate Jesus, might say, “There’s no such thing as bad publicity.” Someone might be touched while reading Chopra’s quotes of the words of Jesus for the first time. Ghandi frequently quoted the Sermon on the Mount to encourage non-aggression.
Hinduism is another false religion. It predicts that in KALI-YUGA[which they claim we’re living in], people’s height will be less than 3ft. Can ya believe it? It’s not yet happened & they claim it will take place. Another false prophecy, which that guy called krishna said is that righteousness [dharma] will decrease & unrighteousness [adharma] will increase. Torturing the people in the pub of bangalore doesn’t say anything like that. According to hinduism they’re cleansing, which means they’re increasing the righteousness. So how could krishna say it will decrease? It’s assured that this kind of increase of righteousness /decrease of unrighteousness is taken from the Bible, but if we look at it in a Christian way, then people are being unrighteouss according to Christianity, which signifies the increase of unrighteousness. Hindus may claim that some of gita’s prophecies have come true? They’re also prophesied in New Testament & are coming true. Speading of ISKON doesn’t speak much about decreasing righteousness.
krishna was a thief because he stole butter.
He disobeyed his mother & stole it.
He was an ideal character for those who just love to run behind girls.
I saw Deepak Chopra on Nightline recently — a forum on Satan — two who were Christians, and then Deepak Chopra and a ‘heretic’ (I forget the man’s name) on the opposing side. Chopra was dressed up like a dandy mafia-type Don. LOL Why would I want to believe him, Diss Christ, and follow his ways? Nah, this man is getting wealthy on spreading his ‘old’ new age agenda, leading people who may actually have had a heart for Christ at one point in their lives down a dangerously, slippery slope. Satan does exist — he dwells within men such as Deepak Chopra. Deepak Chopra even indicated people have called him the anti-Christ. No, he’s not the anti-Christ, but he operates as an ‘Anti-christ’. There are many. No mentioning of anything to serve humanity issued from this man’s mouth, only that he has a higher consciousness and understanding of the Universe. Oh, really? LOL. And Oprah and followers, y’all are in deep(ak)!LOL
AWayToTruth,
The ‘heretic’s’ name you can’t remember is former Pastor Carlton Pearson, who’s ‘inclusion theory’ sounds just like the rest of the New Age crap that’s being peddled by the rest of them sadly.
I see certain ministers rather than rebuking him by taking him aside and ‘continuing’ to present the Gospel to him, are welcoming him with ‘open arms’ despite what he ‘still’ adheres to when it comes to his false ideas of what the Bible says (he believes that in the end ALL WILL be saved), and he’s lapping up the false praise like crazy.
Deepak always seems like he’s confused to me, and talks alot of gobble-dee-guk, which has those following him ‘oohing and ahhing’ to no end. I have yet to hear ‘anyone following these false doctors’, say that they’ve searched and checked out the scriptures “for themselves” to see if what these men (and women) ‘preach'(?) lines up with the scriptures. Wolves in sheeps clothing making the road to hell even wider.
As a former follower of Deepak Chopra and the teachings of those who are lost, I realized that if Jesus said, He was the Way, The Truth and The Life, it seems totally incoherent to make Him part of an all inclusive doctrine; He by His own admission and definition excludes Himself.
King David in the Psalms confers that he was conceived in iniquity. It was not a fault issue on his part. It was his nature at his birth. It came down through his DNA from ancestors from the beginning of the human race who chose to allow satan to access the realm of Glory that man was originally created to live in.
That issue of darkness can only be dealt with through the Blood of Jesus Christ who is called the Lamb of God. That cleansing will never be compromised with man’s ideas on how he can individually attain salvation.
I know people who meditate for days but once they come out it, they are back to being miserable. With the humility of accepting the Love of the Lord Jesus who died and paid the sin for man’s fall UNCONDITIONALLY, with man not having to anything, comes all the peace and joy you will ever need.
It is not about a church; it is about Jesus as a personal Savior. Speak to Him today….
Deepak Chopra’s new age teachings are as old as the devil himself in the Garden of Eden, “you shall be as gods”.
Chopra & the likes of Eckhart Tolle are today’s False prophents.
Jesus said, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father but by me”. And he proved it. No one could atone for Man’s sin but THE only Begotten Son of God.
There are not 2 or 3 or any other Saviors, the Sons of God. “on Christ the Solid Rock I stand, ALL other ground is sinking sand”. Don’t like it, then take it up with Jesus.
Chopra, Tolle, Gandhi, Dali Lama, Mohammed, Buddha, and all who reject Christ here on this earth, one day: “Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is LORD to the Glory of God the Father”

Folks, Deepak Chopra is nothing going more than a New Age Puppet. If you want true and lasting get Peace, Get Back to Jesus. Read your Bible. Attend Church and Pray to Jesus and to God. Don’t listen to a quietly pompous little man like Deepak Chopra, who has no facts, no truth, no proof to back it his lies, which come from the Enemy himself-the Devil. The Devil is the FATHER of LIES, and of course he will try to convince you that he doesn’t exist, so that he can deceive and manipulate you to do evil things. Stay away from New Age and New Age Guru’s- Google LAURA MAXWELL I TUBE VIDEOS and you will be shocked at what this Ex-New Ager went through. Jesus Loves You. God exists With you always.
The New Age Movement is not new at all, but is Eastern Mysticism and the occult, blended in with humanism. The Christian should not have part in any aspect of it. It has even crept into the Christian church, with some TV teachers promising you can be “a god”, and some “inner healing” seminars dabbling in areas they should be avoiding. Christian Bookstores should take responsibility and rid their shelves of Eastern-influence books masquerading as Christianity.
“Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness?” (2 Corinthians 6:14).
