رحلة جميلة ، في الكثير من فلسفة الحياة و القليل من فلسفة الطب .
الكتاب بعكس عنوانه لا يتمركز على جانب التخلّص من وهم الشيخوخة، بقدر ما يتحدث عن فلسفة الكتاب في النظر للحياة و للصحة ..

في نظري هذا الكتاب هو (تأملاّت) و (خوطر) لديباك أكثر من كونه يبني (نموذجاً) جديداً في مفهوم الصحة .
فالتأملات و الخواطر تتميّز بتناثر وابتدعادها عن الوحدة الواحدة التي يتميّز بها النموذج ، وهذه النقطة هي الضعف الأساسي -حسب رأيي- في هذا الكتاب . فأنا توّقعته كتاباً يتحدث عن رؤية جديدة بنموذج متماسك ، ولكني وجدته يتحدث عن رؤية جديدة بخواطر مبعثرة يدعم فيها الكتاب رأيه بالكثير من التجارب العلمية ..

الكاتب جال في العديد من المواضيع :
مثل تصورنا للزمن و يطرح تصوراً جديداً له .
تصورنا للتقدّم في العمر ويطرح تصوراً جديداً له .
تصورنا للجسد و خلايانا و للأمراض و للصحة و يطرح تصوراً جديداً أيضاَ ..

ولأركز في عرضي هذا أقول أن الكاتب عرض فلسفته للحياة وطبقها على نموذج الصحة و الزمن .

طبعاً الكتاب تمّ تأليفه في التسعينات من القرن الماضي ، ولديباك عشرات المؤلفات وأعتقد أن قرآءات مؤلفات أخرى له قد تجعل الانسان يستخرج منها النموذج الكامل لديباك في نظرته للصحة و للحياة بشكل عام .

كالعادة الترجمة العربية سيئة للغاية، ولكن يُحمد للمترجم هذا النقل .

بالرغم من تناثر المعلومات و الرؤى المطروحة إلى أنَّ الكتاب سياحة جميلة وعملية زحزحة للعديد من المفاهيم ، يحتاج الكتاب للمناقشة و للتعمّق في بعض المفاهيم .

الطب في هذه الفترة الحالية من هذا العصر يتعرَّ للكثير من النقد في شكله العادي، والكثير من المحاولات هنا وهناك لتغيير فلسفته الحالية، وهذا الكتاب في نظري يقع ضمن تلك الكتب التي تحاول تغيير فلسفة الطب .

الكاتب من الأمور الأخرى التي أعيبها عليه هو عرضه لبعض الأمور كأنها مسلّمة لابد من المضي فيها قدماً دون التعرَّ لها بمقدمات و حُجج وشروحات لها ، وهذا في نظري خلل كبير جداً ..
ربما لأن هذا الموضوع جديد على مستوى الفكر في العالم وبالتالي تكون هذه الجِدة هي سبب ركاكة عرض الأفكار في الكتاب ..

“Have you also learned that secret for the river; that there is no such thing as time?”
Ageless Body, Timeless Mind: The Quantum Alternative to Growing Old



Not for me. I know so many people who adore Deepak Chopra and I will say he writes in such a magnificent vibrant way.

This book was to long for me and I just wasn't interested enough to stay with it. I did like some of what I read. I consider myself a spiritual person so these types of books are going to appeal to me. But..

It was way to long and some of it was very complicated. Maybe I just did not "get it" which is fine and I will admit reading it felt like a chore.

On the other hand..some parts were fascinating. Had it been condensed maybe I would have appreciated it more.

My favorite part was the Heart Transplant patient who started assuming characteristics of the person whose heart he received. Now that's the stuff I like to read about and I will say I have hear d of things like that happening, not just the one cited in this book.

Philosophical and Spiritual books interest me but this one was to lengthy.

Some people seem to rave about Deepak Chopra. I'm not sure why perhaps I was spoilt by Andrew Weil's book Healthy Aging.

Chopra has much similar to say as Weil and somehow need desperately a good book editor to help him say it. Perhaps the problem is everything has to link to his idea of quantum where he is drawing on quantum physics to bolster his case. "... the mind influences every cell in the body, human aging is fluid and changeable; it can speed up, slow down, stop for a time, and even reverse itself."`

There some very reasonable things and somethings seems extraordinarily shaky. "The deepest reality you are aware of is the one from which you draw your power. For someone who is conscious only of the material world, power is limited to material forces..." OK I find this very reasonable both intellectually, psychologically and even spiritually. In contrast"unbounded intelligence, freedom, and power are inherent in the unified field that Einstein and the ancient sages shared in their vision. Immortality dawns when you realize that you deserve your place in the eternal flow." This seems more anthropocentric and to be honest an unsuccessful attempt to fuse science and spirituality which is like trying to join a solid to a liquid or drink soup with a fork.

Yes the way we think and our emotional lives have an effect of our physical bodies. Yes faith and belief has an effect on us both physically and emotionally. Both Weil and Chopra have the same premis but one is far more convincing and easier to read.

Here is a simple challenge for you.

Below are 5 quotes.

2 from the Deepak Chopra's book "Ageless Body, Timeless Mind" and 3 are from my own mind, where I jumbled words to sound like Chopra.

And the challenge is - To identify the ones that are not from the book.

1. Being able to process the raw, chaotic vibrations of the “quantum soup” and turn them into meaningful, orderly bits of reality opens up enormous creative possibilities.

2. In physical form this infinite creativity has been embodied in your cells; in unmanifest form it is expressed in the mind's silence, the void that is actually a fullness of untold possible meanings, possible truths, possible creations.

3. Your quantum mechanical body is awareness in motion and is part of the eternal field of awareness that exists at the source of creation.

4. Living in harmony with the body's rhythms overcomes entropy by allowing a frictionless flow of biological information.

5. At a quantum level, physical events in space-time such as heartbeat and hormone levels can be affected simply by taking mind to a reality where time does not have such a powerful hold.

Did you get it?

Which ones are from the book? And, which ones are not?

Well, ... I am afraid.....Your response is wrong.

Cause, I tricked you. My apologies.

All the 5 are actual quotes from the book.

The beauty of reading or listening to Deepak Chopra is that you will encounter high sounding words, whose meanings you probably know individually, but can never connect to the context of where those are used.

As they say a genius is never understood by all during his lifetime. And so is a pretentious shrewd wordsmith conman.
What is Deepak Chopra?
Well, it really depends on your quantum perception of the ultimate unseen reality where sublime energy flows beyond space-time metaphysical dimension to the physiosocial reverberations. You see.

I know, many find Chopra the guru that did change their lives forever.
I really envy them.
I wish I had their cosmic continuum vibrating awareness to understand his super quantum intelligence.
I feel depressed. :-(

I started reading this book hoping this one will be a little bit better than his other books. I cannot say that I did not pick up few hints from this book, but it was utterly disappointing 99% of the time. However, it made a long road trip quite entertaining. First of all, advices he gives are ridiculously narcissitic. To go through the routine he suggested, one must be wealthy enough to support two maids or have a slave-like wife who does nothing but her husbands biddings. I doubt any husband will do the same for his wife. Secondly,I grew up in India and met plenty of men who followed similar regimens with the help of maids, wives, and daughters. I doubt that they lived any longer or had respect of others. Most of them were cranky old men obsessed with themselves.

اسم الكتاب: جسد لا يشيخ و عقل لا يحده الزمن
الكاتب: ديباك تشوبرا
عدد الصفحات: 280 صفحة
التقييم: 4

يضع تشوبرا في كتابه توصيفاً للشيخوخة كمفهوم و كمرحلة، داحضاً الفكرة السائدة بالشيخوخة الحتمية وفق نظرية الكم الفيزيائية و الممارسات اليومية التي يخلّفها الإدراك و الوعي بالذات.

التمارين الرياضية، الموسيقى، الضغط النفسي، التوازن الغذائي، الوزن، التنفس و الهرمونات كلها تلعب دوراً في تعجيل الهدم و تثبيط البناء و العكس في الجسم مما يقدّم أو يؤخر شيخوخة الجسد.

أما الزمن بالنسبة له فهو تحرك نسبي له ارتباط وثيق بإدراك الإنسان و ليست له قيمة مطلقة.
القيمة الحقيقية هي "الآن" .

اقتباسات:

((إن تأثير التكيف السلبي الذي تعلمناه في المجتمع مغروس فينا و كذلك الاعتقاد أنه يجب أن نشيخ يؤثر علينا و يعجل ببروز بوادر الشيخوخة، إذ إن أجسادنا تخضع عضوياً لهذا الاعتقاد و يصيبها الخمول.
إن هذا الوهم، وهم لابد أن نشيخ، تعلمناه من المجتمع حولنا، إذ يمكننا أن نغير من نظرتنا عن التقدم في السن بعيداً عن ما يرسمه من سلبية المحيط الذي نحن فيه)).

((خلق الإنسان و في داخله تحدٍ ل Entropy لأنه على جانب مدهش من التنظيم و القدرة على إضافة المزيد من هذا التنظيم إلى أمور جسدية على جانب كبير من التعقيد)).

((كم هو أجمل و أجدى أن يضع الإنسان ضغط الوقت جانباً و يسمح لنفسه أن يزدهر، و يتمتع بحياته كاملة و لا ينظر إلى الوقت كنهاية أمد يليه الموت.
هذا الموقف من الحياة و اعتبارها حالة ازدهار و فرح يمر بهما الإنسان، و ليست حالة صراع و خوف. إنها حالة على جانب كبير من الأهمية يمكن أن يتوصل إليها الإنسان إذا آمن بأن الزمن لا ينتهي أو يتوقف، و بث هذا الشعور في خلايا جسمه، فبعث فيها حيوية جديدة و سعادة غامرة بعيداً عن القلق و الخوف اللذين يأتي بهما الوقت الإمتدادي - نهرم ثم نموت -!)).

I enjoy Chopra's books. As a western trained medical doctor (that specialized in endocrinology) I like his take on eastern & western philosophy. This book defines the mind/body/spirit connection and that "you are what you think".... Biostat 29 baby!!!

What a treasure of a book! Chopra is a wise man of our times and presents his thoughts/ideas in such a practical way. It was timely to read this book as John and I are now in the older generation. He spells out so clearly the difference between growing older and staying youthful in mind, heart and spirit. He reminds us that yes, the years go on but disease is what makes us older and much disease is preventable. He also reminds us that all of our life experiences are stored in our cells and there are many ways to bring healing and restoration to old "tapes", etc. I have made two resolutions I will act on when we return home. 1)With the $200.00 I will earn leading a workshop on The Faith Club I am going to hire a trainer to guide me in proper exercise for my body type, etc. 2)Every Tuesday morning I will devote to writing my memoirs and a book. Don't know just how they will coincide but determined to begin. I have chapters lined up but need to be serious about both these matters.

Deepak Chopra is gifted charlatan who preys on the weak-minded and gullible. Included in this group are a few “celebrities” and talk-show hosts who propagate this nonsense to their sheep-like followers. Being the adept con man that he is he throws in scientific jargon to hide his profound ignorance.

من البداية ضُحك علي حين ذهبت للبيت ودققت النظر قليلاً تحت العنوان الرئيس؛ ".... البديل الثوري لمكافحة الشيخوخة و التقدم في السن" هكذا فعلوا بي و بالسن على غرار مكافحة الحشرات!! المهم لا أخفيك أن العنوان مستفز وابن ستين ... ففضول القراءة لا يحتاج من يحركة هو أيضاً ابن .... حسناً سأدخل في لب الموضوع ، محتويات الكتاب قائمة على خمسة أقسام نظّر في القسم الأول لمفهوم الشيخوخة ، الشيخوخة التي هي نتيجة لطغان الحواس و أن ما توجد من قناعات بالية تلعب دوراً في تعزيزها و التي واذا ما استبدلت تلك المفاهيم إلى المفاهيم الجديدة لاختلف الأمر بشكل يكاد يكون سحراً.. هكذا و باقي الأقسام لك.

نسيت أمراً وجدتني قد كتبت على جبهة الكتاب قبل الإبحار على متنه: " شدني كثيراً هذا العنوان والمؤلف معاً، العنوان الذي يشبه عناوين كتب الإدارة المملة والمبتذلة ولكن هذا طب و تلك إدارة، إذا احتملت الإدارة وجهات النظر فالطب لا، لا يفعلها كما أظن ، و المؤلف بعتبار أول مرة اقرأ له ، و عبارة " الأكثر مبيعاً" دعاية رخيصة لا تنطلي علي ،،، العنوان ذو ترف فكري والمؤلف هنا يعرض دواء غير منطقي إلا إذا أوقف الزمن و فعله أو أن أكون عشريني في السبعين ... لنرى "

Deepak Chopra offers us nothing new in this book. He simply reinforces practical ideals for living a long, healthy life, body and soul. Great book to read and discuss.

Even though I had heard of Deepak Chopra before and have listened to some of his interviews on TV, I had never read anything written by him before. This book “Ageless Body, Timeless Mind” caught my attention and I am really glad of reading this book. This is slightly a different type of self-help book where he is specifically dealing with the concept of aging of human body and how we can have better control over it.

He has used research results from various fields as well as examples of societies from all over the world to show that aging process is not same for everybody. In some societies, life-style helps people to age better and people remain active till very old age where as in some other cultures it is quite opposite. His thoughts are that we human beings should be aware of our own aging process and being in touch with our own self and making some slight adjustments to our life-style itself can improve our health and help us to age better. The techniques that he has mentioned are very simple to follow and practice.

He also discusses on how life of human beings is not one life but a combination of millions of cells which are taking birth and dying all the time in the human body. His idea is that our own thoughts can make these cells sick or healthy making their life small or large thereby increasing the age of human body itself. As is with most of the popular self-help books, narrative style makes a lot of difference. If the author can make things look simpler to do and execute and can relate to the common problems people face, people will come back to read and will like the book. In this aspect, the author has done a good job here.

The parts in the book where he uses advanced concepts of physics like quantum mechanics and entropy baffled me and I really could not relate to those concepts. It almost looked like a desperate attempt to relate psychological concepts to physical sciences which is probably not required.

In this wonderful book (a must!), Deepak Chopra explains in a very understandable way and from A to Z, the difference between growing old and growing sick, being the last one, the accepted condition in our Western cultures for anyone over 45 years old, but amazingly, this does not have to be... it's actually a matter of awareness! biological age depends on psychological age he says, implying that knowledge of true nature is essential to overcome the fear and sorrow feelings that are really responsible for our cells' inability at a certain point of age (beginning at around 30 years old) to rejuvenate themselves; "the habit of fear has sunk so deep that the body remembers to carry it out, even when the mind is resisting with all its might".

We are not these bodies, but the thoughts that create it and those ones come from the Field... and it is right here where this book grows interesting; unity is what we should always aim for. Our physical world and our inner world (quantum) are closely related, forming the unity that gives consistency to the world we perceive, but perception is reality and ours is conditioned to think we are trapped in time and space so, we grow old and die because we expect that. We interpret that as the end, while it is really transformation. The moment we understand that the nature of our awareness is timeless, this process of growing old can stop and even reverse. It's our unique capacity of consciousness among all living creatures, which gives us this possibility.

After reading this book, I can also see, that in a couple hundred years from now, many aspects of our Western, modern medicine, will be seen as not very different to that from the middle ages in our eyes today... a wonderful read that will give you a completely different view of life, death, health, sickness, aging, healing and eternity. A tool, more than a book.

محاولات عبثية لاكتشاف سر الخلود، الكتاب مليء بالأبحاث والتجارب التي لم تكتشف سر الحياة وسر الموت ... وذلك لأن سره العمر بكل اختصار لا يعلم به إلا الله

إلا أن الكتاب مفيد في التعريج على ما يضمن لك حياة صحية خالية من الأمراض، فلو فرضنا أنه مقدر لك أن تموت بعمر السبعين اتباع نصائح الكتاب لن تزيد في عمرك المكتوب يوما واحد ولكن بدلا من أن تموت منهكا بالأمراض .. ستموت وأنت بكامل صحتك

لو كان بالامكان تقدير كتب التنمية لكان ثمانون بالمثة تعود على القارئ والعشرون المتبقية على الكتاب
ذلك لأن طبيعة تلك الكتب تعتمد على التطبيق العملي ، فتسقط بعض الكتب نتيجة إما أن صاحبه غير متمرس ومدعِ من وراء كتابه التحرر من القيود السلبية ! أو أن القارئ مر على التمارين العملية وكل ما يصبو إليه الكتاب مرور الكرام وعدم الانفتاح والقبول كل ما يعترض معتقداته
.
الشيخوخة ليس أمراً مسلماً به ، هذا ما يؤمن به تشوبرا
اذ ان يمكنك ان تعيش حياة مفعمه بالنشاط والحيوية وانت في الستين ، إن حاربت الأفكار السلبية المترتبة عليه إذ أن العقل والإشارات التي ترسلها بدوره إلى باقي أعضاء الجسد إما بالتطور أو الخمول وربما العطب في وظائفها ، كل ذلك متوقف على ماتشعر به حيال نفسك والحياة .

وضرب مثلاً لمن فقد وظيفته وكيف تضطرب وظائف جسده فيشعر بالحزن والارق وانعدام الشهية

يرى تشوبرا أ،" الموت جزء من الحياة الكونية وليس غيابها"

فالموت مرحلة انتقالية ولايعني الفناء
الفناء غير موجود كذلك الزمن

ويلقي اللوم على المجتمع وما يصف الكبر بالعجز والخرف
لذلك معظم المتقاعدين يقعون فريسة في شرك مايميله عليه المجتمع
فالذين لا يضعون خططاً في حياتهم الجديد
ولا يهذبون عاداتهم السلوكية السلبية ، والغذائية
والمتكلين على من يعتني بهم وبأمور حياته ، يعجل من تعطيب وظائف جسده وروحه
وحتى لو كنت في الثلاثين فمن الممكن أن يكون القلب عمره الزمني في الستين في حال كنت مدخناً!

لطاما تساؤلت في نفسي "لمَ يكون بعض الشيوخ الكبار مقعدين وليسوا مصابين بإعاقة جسدية ، في حين هناك من يماثلهم في السن نشطين ومتفائلين في الحياة؟"

هذا يرجع كله لنظامك ولتجاربك الحياتية وكيف تتعامل مع المواقف السلبية والعاطفية بأن تكون سجيناً عابر سبيل ؟

Written in '93 and still relevant today, Dr Chopra opens the mind to view our bodies and our relationship to the universe in a wholly different way than most of us have been taught for our entire lives. Being a doctor and scientist, he backs his revelations with quantum physics and scientific theory. He includes simple exercises to help each of us reach our best health and full potential in this lifetime. I consider this a primer for a long, happy and healthy life.

This is an exceptional book, at least for me. I read this book around ten years ago and the book made great impression on me. Once I started the book, I could not leave it before I finished. The connection between science and spirituality, body and mind has never been written better. I still use many of the principles in my articles and books.

This book is great. I learned that you can basically live for ever because the cells in your body regenerate. After 7 years all of the cells in your body are brand new, even your bones and teeth. So take care of yourself and live a long and happy life-

Chopra expounds on quantum physics and how it is believed to influence aging. One thought-provoking idea: part of the reason we age as we do is because we are watching others age. Expectations of what age brings helps in fact to manifest those very things.

Cleared the myth that suffering is necessary. It is a part of reality. We are inevitable victims of sickness, aging and death. Changing our consciousness changes our reality and one can create a healthy being by our own consciousness--the interaction of the mind.

Weekend reads
The Mind Body Connection
- Thoughts impact our body
- Book mentions that we get old because we have seen others getting old and we think in that way and in reality our brain never gets old and we can change our thoughts to change our body
- Aging affect is only 1 percent on our body per year

Quantum Healing
- body is not a fixed entity but field of energy made up of minerals and water mostly that is constantly renewing itself

Lifestyle changes
- Also includes practical advice on diet, meditation, exercise, and stress management
- One thing I found unique was about stress management, author says If you completely stay in your present you will be less stressed and you will not get older

This is a great book to understand the difference between accepting to grow older and staying youthful in the mind, heart, and spirit using certain practices for living a longer healthier life.
Dr. Chopra says that our life is made of million cells, they born, die, and regenerate our human body according to our own positive or negative thoughts which in turn can make these cells either sick or healthy, keeping us younger or aging. Basically, our emotions have an effect on our physical bodies.
Dr. Chopra says that in certain rich advanced societies aging is different than aging in poorer societies. Of course, people in richer cultures have a better quality of life, remain active until very late in life, are more in tune with their own selves, and take better care of their bodies as they can afford better things. The psychological age helps the biological age; if we don’t feel fears and sorrows, our cells live happy, assuring a longer life to the physical body.
Slow down, eat real food, think positive are all the powerful things we can do, they are the keys to longevity.
This is a great book, although heavy on quantum physics, difficult to understand, certain passages I had to read more than one time, therefore took me longer to finish. I like to watch Dr. Chopra on TV better than reading him, he is exciting.
