Deepak Chopra has an unique approach to spirituality as a man of science, a medical doctor with knowledge in the physical world and as a spiritual leader, with deep insides into spiritual realm in all its manifestations... I am sure we all agree how fascinating and life changing his writing is. The simple fact that science and technology have dismantled our traditional beliefs made our road to spiritual discovery so much difficult. I feel comfortable with his unique approach to spirituality as he blends in one single concept the physical and spiritual world. It makes so much sense to our practical, modern minds to embrace the spirituality that doesn't alter or refute our values or believe system.

Born and raised as a Buddhist, Deepak Chopra transcended his traditional believes and embraced the universal spirituality where there are no boundaries, separatism or antagonist believe systems. In a recent interview he said:  "Christ wasn't a Christian, Mohammed wasn't a Mohammedan and Buddha wasn't a Buddhist. These are dogmas and ideologies. The fight is about semantics..." If we are aware what science has shown us, we can no longer think of GOD the same way we did centuries ago... We can no longer squeeze God into the volume of a body and the span of a lifetime. That limits GOD... and GOD is limitless!

His bestseller book: "The Third JESUS: The Christ We Cannot Ignore", is one of the latest book written on the subject of divinity and Christianity, as he explains the transformation of teachings and theology.

It is in fact what we as humans understood, preached and followed in our core believe system about Jesus Christ.

1. In the beginning was the historical Jesus, who lived more than two thousand years ago and whose teachings are the foundation of Christian theology and thought. That is a historical fact... and we know next to nothing about him.

2. Than was Jesus the Son of God, who has come to embody an institutional religion with specific dogma, a priesthood, and devout believers... That is the Christian Church...

3. Now there is the third Jesus, the cosmic Christ, the spiritual guide whose teaching embraces all humanity, not just the church built in his name.  

His approach to The Third JESUS... the cosmic Christ is the most fascinating... In his unique way of unveiling the history of Christianity he brings up conbtroversional facts by saying that his teachings have been hijacked by people who "hate" in the name of "love"... "He has served to divide peoples and nations. He has led to destructive wars in the name of religious fantasies. The legacy of love found in the New Testament has been tainted with the worst sort of intolerance and prejudice that would have appalled Jesus in life."

Therefore the cosmic Christ is the healer of this troubled planet...in an interview at FOX-NEWS Deepak Chopra told 'HANNITY & COLMES' about his belief that the Collective Consciousness has the power to re-balance the forces between the good and evil of the world. Watch the interview

If a "hundred million" people take a pledge to practice and promote nonviolence, peace, harmony and love for each others, family, friends, neighbors... that itself would generate a spontaneous shift in the Collective Consciousness. Consciousness is the collective phenomena with great transformation potential... We created the world we live in, as the world around is the reflection of our Collective Consciousness (look around in our violent world...) We have to change that through changing the way we see, live and understand the world around us.

As for the most expected return of Jesus on the earth is probably our redemption, rebirth and raise from ashes... the promise of a new better life and return to heaven of God.

FOOT NOTE:

I believe that humanity struggled with faith and spirituality since the beginning of life. Has been decades of religious crusade and endless struggle for belief systems domination...  even today in this troubled world.

If we read the history of religions over the century we have to accept that the faith is something deeply personal rooted in people's cultural, ethnic and historic-geographic background... Faith unite us and divides us in the same time.

I like to read Deepak Chopra's books because he doesn't dismiss nor judge anyone faith, (nor he advocate for conversion to a new one...) but invites us to find an answer, to the eternal question of divinity, in the context of philosophical-scientific reality. He is not a New Age Guru... he is an eminent Doctor physician who opens a door to a broader reality: humans are a speak of the universe energy therefore governed by the same laws of manifestation... we are limitless and divine. Within that scientific context he draws interesting philosophical (and religious) theories... not a revision or a new faith, just a provoking thought of how we can positively improve our life through living in harmony with the universe laws.

The History in Making!...The White House has a unique and fascinating history... I am sure, I am not wrong by saying that America did not feel the excitement, hopes for changes and enthusiasm for their new elected President since John F. Kennedy... and this time they're determined to make sure that he gets all the support he needs to make this presidency a success.  

White House is the symbol of the Presidency of United States for more than 200 years. The history of the White House takes us back on December of 1790, when President George Washington signed an Act of Congress declaring that the federal government building should be in a district "not exceeding ten miles square...on the river Potomac."

The city planner Pierre L'Enfant, chose the site for the new residence which, since that time, has been the permanent residence of all elected presidents of United States - 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. WA - the pride and symbol of American democracy. A competition was held and the Irish-born architect James Hoban won the gold medal for his handsome design. Out of nine design proposals his project stood out through it's iimpeccable architectural style.

Construction began in October 1792 and President Washington oversaw the construction of the house but never lived in it... never the less he dedicated a great amount of energy and enthusiasm to see that building coming to light. It was not until 1800 when the White House, became the permanent residence of President John Adams and his wife Abigail. Since that time, every other President contributes with their own additions and changes to the splendor, style and historical value of the house. The White House is, after all, the President's private home and captured their personality. 

President Theodore Roosevelt officially gave the "White House" its current name in 1901. 

Undoubtedly the White House's walls have many story to tell, from fires (one at the hands of the British in 1814 -during the war of 1812-, another one in the West Wing in 1929, while Herbert Hoover was President)  to many transformations, renovations and new additions... But nothing was expected to re-write the history of the White House as the recent election... when the American people decided to elect the first African American President...

What a moment! It was a long, long road from the 1790 -dark years of slavery- to today's progressive society. What slaves build, 200 years ago, with their own hands, was destined to sustain the history to the day when one of their own would become the 44 President of United States.   

America fall in love with Obama a young, bright, charismatic all around good man that seems to be at the right time, at the right place for the right reason... it was the destiny! The history in making...

I found a great website that offers a spoof on White House floor plans. For a good laugh got to: www.whitehouse.org.

Have we been fair to Alan Greenspan? Is he the one to blame for the deterioration of our economy? Just few years ago Greenspan's reputation as a financial genius seemed unanimously agreed. Most economists were in total admiration and praised him as "The Maestro", the biggest mind of our times...

What went wrong?... or better say: What did he do so wrong and what is his crucial role in the ongoing global credit crisis.

Alan Greenspan is undoubtedly a complex and interesting man in his intellectual capacity. Long before becoming Federal Reserve chairman, Greenspan played the clarinet and shared Ayn Rand's philosophy... Lots of young intellectuals read and shared her politically incorrect hymn to selfishness. It was the 20th. century trend to politically incorrect view on individualism and laissez-faire -Let do ("allow to do")- capitalism. He never seems to move away from that. He later gave up on music as a profession, studied economics and became one of the most influential man of the century.

But recently his "statue" was shaken and was badly treated by the House Committee of Government Oversight and Reform. Under the enormous pressure he found himself in no other defense but to admit that he'd make some important mistakes... How important?... As per his own admission: "Those of us who have looked to the self-interest of lending institutions to protect shareholders' equity, myself included, are in a state of shocked disbelief,"

For many observers Alan Greenspan's legacy will be his contribution to one of the biggest financial disasters in American history. Fair?

Aloha Arina,

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Greenspan and his wife Adrea Mitchell when I lived in DC a few years back. They were guests of an acquaintance of mine and it just happened to be one of those random moments when fate crosses your path with someone you would have never have expected to meet. As fate would have it a secret service agent moments later whisked him away under the fecund call of GW Bush. I thought to myself, poor fellow he hadn't even a moment to eat dinner and off he was at the disposal of the President.

The impression that I received from this brief encounter was that here is a man who suffers from intense melancholia. His demeanor was heavy and somber as if his conscience had squished his soul down to the souls of his shoes.

Fed Bankers are an obsessive lot, entrusted with keeping our ignanomous Fractional Reserve banking system greased and cranking. He and all Fed Chairs since the Wilson administration have had one and only one directive: Keep Americans in debt at any and all costs! Because Bankers Make Money from our indebtedness. Trillions of dollars worth of unchecked profits go into the pockets of a very select group of bankers who are the real power behind the politics of this country.

The more the fed deregulates our banking system the more money they make off the backs of Americans, who are in essence slaves to debt and the Banks that hold that debt. Greenspan was only doing the job he was entrusted to do. Unfortunately for us that job was to orchestrate the greatest financial collapse this country has seen since the Great Depression, why because money in this country is made from debt. 

Have you noticed that virtually all the Investment Bank CEO's got paid enormous sums of money even while they drove their businesses into the ground. So what if you bankrupted your company when your "forced" into retirement with billions of dollars in your severance package.

Have you noticed that the bail out funds have been used to pay for lavish parties, corporate retreats, and end of year bonuses for the top executives accounting for over $70 billion of the total bailout. Why are their "top" producers getting paid bonuses when all they produced was the failure of the their company? It's because these amoral bankers made trillions for the cadre of banking elite that run this country.
