The Deeper Wound - A book by Deepak Chopra

[Guest guest]

Namaste:

 

First my apologies for pressing the send key in the middle of editing

this article. I am reposting this and I believe that this topic is

quite relevant for contemplation and discussion.

 

While taking my cofee break, I watched a short interview by Sri

Deepak Chopra in CNN News and subject matter was the prospects of US

WAR in the middle east. Sri Deepak rightly argued that there is

only 'one mind' that controls this universe and if we concerned party

becomes aware of this fact, there will be no more war. The

interviewer asked Sri Deepak to provide guidance to attain this

awareness by all beings of this universe. As per my expectation,

Deepak suggested that everyone should read the book, "The Deeper

Wound" and "How to know God.?" We all know that the answer to the

key question of "Awarness" is not as simple as reading these books!

 

warmest regards,

ABOUT THIS BOOK:

The author of How to Know God provides help for healing deep trauma—

whenever it arises—so we may find peace in ourselves and in our world.

 

Terror came from the sky, and afterward the world would never be the

same. September, 11, 2001, defined tragedy for a generation. On that

day Deepak Chopra found himself driving from city to city, meeting

thousands of people who begged for meaning and solace in the face of

suffering. In response he has written The Deeper Wound, offering a

way of healing as a memorial to the thousands of victims who perished.

 

The opening section, "In the Face of Tragedy," defines suffering as

the pain that threatens to make life meaningless. When our deepest

needs go unfulfilled, suffering begins. We begin to heal when we go

beyond personal anger and fear to a realization of our true self, the

self that was never afraid and can never be wounded.

 

The true self contains the light that no darkness can attack. Having

described a path of awareness and compassion that leads to the light,

the second half of The Deeper Wound takes us there through "A Hundred

Days of Healing," daily affirmations, exercises, insights, lessons,

and questions—each a step out of pain toward a higher reality. "We

can become living memorials to tragedy by restoring the power of

life," writes Deepak Chopra. "You are that life, you are that power.

Let us see if we can find the spark that will make the spiritual

flame spring up."

 

Healing yourself comes in two stages—first releasing the energy of

suffering, then replacing it with the soul's energy. It is a gentle

and fragile path, very much like holding on to a thread as it leads

you from step to step.

 

If you take the time to listen to the voice of silence, you will be

astonished at the power you have at your command, however long that

power has been overlooked.

 

A portion of the proceeds earned by the author and publisher from the

sale of this book will be donated to the Red Cross to aid in

humanitarian relief efforts around the world.
