Is Life A Dream?

Science and Spirituality with Deepak Chopra

In today’s episode, Deepak Chopra explores the profound idea that life as we know it may be an illusion. Listen in as we explore Eastern wisdom traditions and their perspective on the dreamlike nature of reality. Learn about "pure consciousness," the true Self, and how to awaken from the dream through meditation and self-inquiry.

Key topics:

• How various spiritual traditions like Buddhism and Vedanta view our waking state as a temporary and ever-changing projection of consciousness, similar to a dream.
• The concept of "pure consciousness" as the unchanging reality underlying all temporary states of experience.
• The importance of meditation and self-inquiry to directly experience this reality.

How understanding this perspective can challenge our conventional understanding of ourselves and the world.
