5 comments about Child of the Dawn: A Magical Journey of Awakening.
- Being an admirer of his father's work, I bought the younger Chopra's book with high expectations. Alas, Guatama Chopra did not inherit his father's gift of prose or profound wisdom. His story was void of originality and failed to capture the reader's interest, since this concept has seen many incarnations. Unfortunately, this is a case of a decendent riding on the mighty coattails of his successful father. Hopefully, with age, maturity, and wisdom, Mr. Chopra would grow into his identity and improve his written and oral communication skills. Having seen his work as an anchor for Channel One News, I have to say that Mr. Chopra has a long journey ahead of him.
- This book is an excellent selection for anyone who is searching for themselves. Through the story of a teenage boy's journey, you learn that to be happy you need just be yourself. i recommend this book to most.
- If you think that other books on this subject are too heavy and long - this is the book for you. Being around 130 pages, with big text - that's a first! This book is so much more then the exploring of a young boy, much more then morality and surviving in the sense of food and sleep. Set out in the poor persons every day life this book makes it simplistic and easy to grasp the real point with it. You get your own roots shaken a bit, your values re-set. At the end of this you have a sense of what real power is, what it truly means to be rich. Rich in the soul, not measured by money.
- I liked this book. I found it suitable for any religion. At first, I thought it was going to be too "New Age" for me, then I decided I was being too closed minded and relaxed, just took it in. Soon I was gaining in a positive way. I will reread this for a pick me up. Also, I copied several phrases from the book to use as reminders of daily encoragement. I wanted to give it a 5, however couldn't because I am not sure I would feel totally comfortable sharing or gifting this book to just anyone. It does require some basic free thinking and application of one's own faith journey to be successful, I would be afraid some wouldn't get past some of the open ended concepts of the journey...maybe not, maybe I am still too closed minded, read it and find out for yourself, let us know!
- The Child of the Dawn is a book worth reading and then re reading. It is a story about a young boy in search of adulthood and the power that comes with being an adult. After an extensive search through out the countryside, the young boy discovers that what he is searching for can only be found from within. He must turn to himself to complete his search. Although not required, reading "The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success" by the author's father, will help you to better understand this book.

- If you enjoy Chopra or Dyer you will love this audio program. Recorded live at a unity church, it captures the two of them in uniquely inspired moments summarizing the best of their parallel philosophies on life, God and metaphysics. I've read and listened to much of what Dyer and Chopra have produced and this is probably the best thing either of them have put out because it so beautifully summarizes the essence of spiritual philosophy. I bought 15 copies just to share with friends and family. A must for your listening library.
- Dr Wayne Dyer CDs makes my day. And Deepak Chopra is fantastic.
Wayne changed my life for better & made me a better person.
This CD is Fantastic as His other CDs.
I have Deepak's book 7 Spiritual Law of Success which is really one of the best book ever (I buy it for everybody as present), but this is the first time I heard him and it was wonderful.
I recommend this CD to everybody.

- After reading this book I am looking at daily events with different eyes, understanding that everything that happens forms part of an universal plan and that I understand how to "syncronize" myself with that universal plan, I can be happier.

3 comments about Synchrodestiny.
- The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen experiment is often touted as an example of the bizarre nature of quantum mechanics: two elementary particles with complementary properties (spins of +1/2 and -1/2) are separated by an infinite distance (well, not really infinite, but infinite for all practical purposes). We do not know (in fact, neither do the particles themselves) which particle has which property, but only that if one particle is measured to have a spin of +1/2, the other one will be found to have the opposite spin (-1/2).
After this separation, we measure the spins of both the particles simultaneously and find that the spins are as expected. The only catch is, since the particles themselves don't 'know' what spin thy have, how did they coordinate between themselves (at a rate faster than the speed of light) and decide which of the properties each will exhibit? This sort of communication is termed a 'nonlocal' connection.
Deepak Chopra really goes to town with this nonlocal connection in his book Synchrodestiny, employing it to 'explain' such phenomena as how the human body performs the various metabolic activities so that one can enjoy a jog at the beach, how cognition is effected by the "'phase and frequency locking in' of the firing patterns of individual neurons in different parts of the brain," and so on.
I stopped reading Synchrodestiny after about a hundred pages or so. The problem with these books which attempt to draw legitimacy from science [a plague on your house, Capra, for starting the whole thing ;-)] is that you already have to be a believer to get anything positive from them. If you read them with an open mind, you end up shaking your head in skepticism at sentences like these, which have to be taken on faith, since there is no way to prove or disprove them:We are both local and nonlocal, an individual pattern emerging from nonlocal intelligence, which is also part of everyone and everything else ...The personal, local part of the soul exists at the quantum level.
- This is a masterpiece from a master. Of all of Deepaks books, I found this to be the most practical. If you are new to these paradigms or an ardent practioner you will find the way that Deepak unpacks the somewhat mysticism of this subject so refreshing. Yes there are other books on the topic, yet this one is the one that inspired me to take take action through daily rituals. Becoming even more aware of synchronicity and harnessing this power is the greatest gift you may receive. Thanks Deepak, I continue to follow my bliss and inspire youth to their full potential. Until we meeet again my firend, all that is divine in me honours all that is divine in you.
- For someone who loves reading books on metaphysical and spiritual topics, I have hardly read any of Deepak Chopra's work - apart from one of his fiction books, SynchroDestiny is the first of his books that I've delved into! Luckily, it was a good introduction to Deepak and his style of writing, so I'll definitely be investing in some more of his books soon :).
This particular book focuses on the phenomenon of synchronicities - those apparent coincidences that illustrate the larger forces at work in our lives. As the book's blurb states, "...there is no such thing as a meaningless coincidence."
The first part of SynchroDestiny focuses on the science that lies behind synchronicities and the Law Of Attraction. If you're looking for a simple, clear explanation of some of the principles of quantum physics and nonlocal intelligence (the field), this is it. Deepak is definitely very skilled in explaining complex concepts in a very user-friendly manner! This section of the book also goes deeply into the concepts of coincidence and intention.
The second part of the book is devoted to the practical exploration of the concepts. These exercises are centred around the process of meditation, using mantras to focus the mind. I found these exercises interesting and useful, although I altered the process of meditation described to fit with my own style of meditating. Deepak's methods may work for him and for others, but I found them to disruptive to my own rhythm, and I therefore had much more success when I integrated his techniques with my own. Don't be afraid to experiment a bit to find what works for you - there is no "one size fits all" size of meditating!
Throughout the book, Deepak makes reference to the ancient Eastern wisdom of Vedanta, which describes much of what quantum physics is only now discovering regarding how the universe functions. In this respect, it is also incredibly interesting to read SynchroDestiny's Appendix A, in which Deepak outlines the principles of the Hermetic tradition, which has its origins in ancient Greece, Rome and Egypt, to illustrate how these principles match those of the Vedanta. Reading these ancient teachings demonstrates clearly that the Law Of Attraction is not new!

3 comments about Deepak Chopra Presents India Authentic Volume 2 (India Authentic).
- More mythological stories of Indian Gods. I like the idea of being able to learn from the indian mythology in this format, and the stories chosen are nice. Anyway, I much prefered the first one INDIAN AUTHENTIC, because the pace and feeling of the comic book was more beautiful and more beautifully written. In this comic book I enjoyed the story of Parashuram, because I loved how it was told (very much like the pace and feeling of the first INDIAN AUTHENTIC), and the definition of what a monster is and how it is made.
- Even though i thought the first issue was so much better, i still enjoyed reading about Pashuram and Garuda. Its a great issue to read for fun and even great for kids, so theyre not stuck in front of the tv rotting away their brains. If you bought the first and was so blown away, like I was.. just letting you know you might now find this one as amazing but finish reading it because its a bit lengthier in story material but i think its worth the purchase and to be added to your comic/book collection, this is an awesome choice to go with.
- I bought this title after I had read the thoroughly enjoyed Volume #1 of the series. This collection was, in a word, disappointment. The weakest link in the book is the writing. The stories are NOWHERE "Authentic" (Parashurama stopping his carnage after coming abreast a child?? Looks like a 'politically-correct' mashup for the non-Indian audience) as claimed, but at least the first volume had a brilliant and imaginative script. Here, the writers seems to have lost steam after being overtly creative for the first round.
My second peeve is with the artwork. The artwork just does not measure up to the first volume. Period. Nothing more to say.
I would recommend that readers first look through the issue in the libraries and then decide if they want to buy.

5 comments about Return of Merlin.
- This is at great way to explain life and death, love and hate. Everybody should read this in school.
- If you want to be Merlin, and you want Camelot to live again, read this book. If you are intrigued by quantum reality, read this book. If you are trying to deal with the truth about the dark side of yourself, read this book. Perception is everything. I give this book four Stars because I reserve five stars for the video "What the Bleep Do We Know?"
- Mordred has succeeded in doing bad things in the past, in the original time of Arthur.
This book is mostly concerned with the present, and a young police officer named Arthur. Guess what happens next? Yep, the souls of all the Arthurian types eventually take over people in the present day, and the actual owners of these bodies begin to realise the roles they are playing in this conflict.
- I dislike giving negative reviews, but this book was flat out boring for me.
Too many story lines, with too many characters, and too many superfluous details. The character development was weak, not nearly enough to generate intrest for me. On top of that add the scattered time travel and alternate realities and the plot became too convoluted.
The spirituality in the book is good stuff, but what is there is pretty basic, and there is not all that much of it.
Readers looking for good spiritual fiction would be better off picking something else from my review list.
Entertainment: 2 stars
Enlightenment: 2 stars
- As a book dealing with the aspect of multiple overlapping parallel realities, you would probably expect a headache after reading some parts of The Return of Merlin. Chopra creates an imaginative and original rendition of the the King Arthur saga, but I'm not entirely sure I would recommend this book based on that. There are a lot of characters, although not as many as in the full Arthurian saga. Add to that the fact that many of those characters have multiple characters (which is a little odd to try to explain), and most of these characters go through several different realities, and you have a story that can be very confusing at times. And I swear I've seen the ending portrayed exactly as described in at least a dozen different movies, across different genres. But, with the particular subject matter, a few cliches aren't terribly surprising. I didn't feel like I wanted to know any of the characters, and sometimes trying to know them in the context of the story was awkward. All in all, I'd say it's average or slightly above average.
