Find your eternal experiencer in your true self BEYOND your brain🪞💫
What Deepak Chopra describes so wonderfully here is certainly one of the most beautiful experiences that go hand in hand with increasing SELF-realisation, just as it does for my coachees:
You are no longer alone in yourself,
because alongside the fictitious ego, another persona appears in the background, our "eternal experiencer", who is directly perceptible beyond duality and time.
Why is this eternal experiencer BEYOND duality and time?
Because it can be directly experienced as never changing, completely independent of our external life circumstances. This BEING personality has always been present in us unchanged since our earliest childhood. Unfortunately, the vast majority of people lose inner contact with this connected state of BEING in the cycle of their lives (see Gregory Bateson for more information) around the age of 6, but at the latest by the age of 8, when the dual-thinking brain takes over together with our 5 tantalising senses. My coaching experience coincides with Krishnamurti's experience that this inner shift of power, which is very unfavourable for our lasting joy of life, can be influenced in some people from the age of 40 through regular contemplative meditation techniques and ideally reversed completely. This happens automatically at death at the latest, as our dual ego is extinguished.
If we succeed in maintaining permanent contact with our "eternal experiencer" in the background, any fear of our own death is permanently eradicated, as this experiencer is obviously immortal, as Deepak Chopra explains very clearly in this brilliant new publication.
Deepak Chopra is a Clinical Professor of Family Medicine and Public Health at the University of California, San Diego and serves as a senior scientist with Gallup Organization. He is the author of over 90 books translated into over forty-three languages, including numerous New York Times bestsellers. His 90th book and national bestseller, Metahuman: Unleashing Your Infinite Potential, unlocks the secrets to moving beyond our present limitations to access a field of infinite possibilities. For the last thirty years, Chopra has been at the forefront of the meditation revolution. TIME magazine has described Dr. Chopra as “one of the top 100 heroes and icons of the century.”
If you want to know where you stand and how your life satisfaction will improve if you consistently address this inner gap with your SELF, then you will find a self-assessment here - I have been using this questionnaire for many years with around 100 coachees per year as a basis for designing their career & life strategy.
