Episode notes
Aging As A Reversible Program
- Deepak Chopra argues that aging is a reversible program tied to consciousness rather than inevitability.
- Slowing the metabolism of time via consciousness can slow biological aging processes.
Epigenetics Shapes Health More Than Genes
- Chopra says less than 5% of disease-causing mutations are fully penetrant and genetics only partly determine disease.
- Everyday experiences and interpretations (epigenetics) largely influence how the body recycles and expresses health.
Consciousness As The Fundamental Reality
- He proposes consciousness is the ontological primitive and the brain cannot fully explain subjective experience.
- Mind, ego, and body are objects of experience rather than the subject; only consciousness is conscious of itself.
