An open letter to Richard Dawkins and Michael Shermer
Dear Richard and Michael,
I read your lament that some people leave religion for 'something worse,' Deepak Chopra's spirituality.
I would say that in the areas of (1) evolution, (2) consciousness and (3) the nature of reality, Deepak's view is closer to scientific truth than is yours.
Regarding (1) evolution, please see my Huffington Post blog -- which came first, feelings, or the brain?
Regarding (2) consciousness and (3) the nature of reality, Deepak maintains that inner conscious experience is more real than what appears to us as the material world, and that both consciousness and reality are, at deeper levels, 'non-local', interconnected across spatio-temporal boundaries, as occurs at small scales in the quantum world.
