			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>According to <a title="website (new window)" href="http://news.rediff.com/report/2009/dec/28/western-science-is-frozen-says-deepak-chopra.htm" target="_blank">Deepak Chopra</a> modern sciences have it all wrong. Modern sciences unlike Astrology is locked into a superstitious, obsolete worldview, one based on Newtonian physics and materialism.</p>
<p>Firstly, &#8216;reality&#8217;, as we understand it, does not exist. Secondly, only consciousness exists, even though we are unable to find it. So our sensations of colour like red are not from brain processing (most scientists are wrong) but it&#8217;s a result of this consciousness. Thirdly, here is a really cool fact. Chopra says that, &#8220;<em>Every cell instantly knows what is happening in every other cell, in fact, in the whole universe</em>&#8221; I am not sure what he means by &#8216;know&#8217; and &#8216;cell&#8217;. In fact, what does he really mean by &#8216;consciousness&#8217;? The <em>every cell knows every other cell</em> sounds like a fanciful use of quantum entanglement from quantum mechanics. But then again that&#8217;s science built on superstition!</p>

<p>Final comment: Chopra displays the same righteous arrogance that he accuses of materialist scientists.</p>

<p> <br />
I imagine we are talking the same astrology that&#8217;s been debunked so many times over so many years. So should we now take star sign reading in the local paper seriously. Or, perhaps do a PhD in the application of alchemy to modern wealth creation methods or to extend current mining practices!</p>
<p>Sorry back to the real world&#8230;</p>
