Deepak Chopra: non-existence of matter

IT NEVER HAPPENED !!
As strange as this may seem it’s the
absolutely most critical spiritual FACT:
All material existence – all that you see and feel with the material senses simply
DOES NOT EXIST.
We don’t get to choose as much as we
once thought: it’s really a matter of
choosing to awaken or not.
Matter is supreme or it’s nonexistent.
Which one is it?
All your woes, every last one of them
are contingent upon the false belief that
mortal existence with all its suffering
Its loveless hoarding and grasping
is the outpicturing of matter reigning.
Lose your allegiance to this material
dimension and gain untold freedom
power and love in eternal life now.
How do you do it?
Your conviction, your commitment
needs to match the huge transition
you’re seeking.
You will see that it really is unbelievably
simple – so much so that anyone can
see and understand….
But in your case YOU need to demonstrate – for yourself –
your one-mindedness … at last!

Why, oh why?
Oh, Lawdy, tell me why
perfectly intelligent people
flip back and forth mid-sentence
ostensibly asking a legitimate question
about Spirit, God, Infinite Perfection
while adamantly insisting that
the answer be verifiable
in their mortal test-
tube of matter?

When we first get an inkling that there’s another realm – the realm of Spirit – we can’t help but get rather curious about how it could impact our life.
Our thoughts naturally go to “spirits”, demons and things that go bump in the night. But we be wrong!! It’s Spirit (capital S), Infinitude, Eternality — the realm of God. Don’t run away yet – wait till you hear what’s really going on.
We get to choose which to believe: (a) matter is overwhelmingly real, solid, formidable, subject to birth, death and all the ills in between or (b) matter is pure illusion.
When we decide that we really want to “get” the claims of enlightenment (born out by such reputed scientists as Einstein himself) that matter doesn’t of its own accord have a leg to stand on, we find there exists a ‘substance’ (called Spirit), having precious little in common with matter.
The only fine point that we find so difficult to wrap our matter-based, matter-laden brains around is “how in the world is it possible that infinite, perfect, eternal Spirit is right here where matter seems to be?”
When we do start to realize this unspeakable, glorious truth, a whole new world opens up for us. All we have to do now is to realize we’ve just got the first inkling: there’s infinitely more waiting to unfold!

In order to commune with Spirit –
your real Be-ing –
you must sacrifice the notion
that all is fixed in matter.

There’s a ‘nother whole realm
of pure spirituality and bliss
known only through
Divine apprehension.

You’re true selfhood hears
“Be still and know that I am God!”
and immediately drops
whatsoever to the contrary.
