MARIA: WELCOME BACK.
INSIGHTS AND I
INSIGHTS IND I
INSIGHTS INS I
INSIGHTS INSPIRATION FROM DEEPAK
CHOPRA IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND
THANKS TO A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN
LIVE PERSON AND AMAZON'S ALEXA.
>> I HAVE THIS LITTLE YOU
MICROPHONE ATTACHED TO THIS
LITTLE PHONE AND I JUST SPEAK
OUT TO WHAT I'M THINKING AND
WHAT MY INTENTION FOR THE DAY IS
AND THEN IT'S RECORDED HERE AND
IT GOES TO LIVE PERSON AND THEN
IT'S ON ALEXA A.
IT'S ALL DONE VERY EFFICIENTLY
AND SMOOTHLY AND IT'S PART OF MY
DAILY ROUTINE NOW.
MARIA: JOINING ME RIGHT NOW IS
THE AUTHOR OF THE BRAND-NEW
BOOK, YOU ARE THE UNIVERSE, AND
ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE ADVOCATE,
DEEPAK CHOPRA.
TELL US ABOUT THIS NEW VENTURE.
>> WELL, FOR THE LAST FOUR YEARS
I'VE BEEN SHARING MY INSIGHTS OR
REFLECTIONS,
REFLECTION MEDITATIONS WITH
PEOPLE, STARTED WITH FRIENDS,
FAMILY, SOCIAL 3450ED
FAMILY, SOCIAL M450ED
FAMILY, SOCIAL MED0ED
FAMILY, SOCIAL MEDIAD
FAMILY, SOCIAL MEDIA AND NOW
ALEXA.
IT WASN'T PLANNED.
BUT I START MY DAY WITH A FEW
REFLECTIONS AND INTENTIONS,
CLARITY OF MIND, LIGHTNESS OF
BEING AND I EXPAND ON THAT AND
ALEXA PICKED IT UP TO LIVE
PERSON.
MARIA: TELL US WHY THAT'S SO
IMPORTANT, THE CLARITY THAT YOU
TRY TO HAVE.
>> I THINK SETTING AN INTENTION
OR ASKING YOURSELF A SIMPLE
QUESTION LIKE WHAT DO I WANT IS
ENOUGH.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO ACTUALLY
CONCENTRATE ON HAVING A SPECIFIC
INTENTION.
IF YOU ASK YOURSELF, WHAT DO I
WANT FOR ME TODAY OR FOR THE
WORLD OR FOR MY KIDS OR -- YOU
WITH WILL ALREADY HAVE A
RESPONSE THERE.
THAT BRINGS CLARITY TO YOUR
INTENTION AND IF YOU START
LETTING GO AND SETTLE IN YOUR
BEING, THEN THAT INTENTION
ORGANIZES ITS OWN FULFILLMENT
THROUGH SYNCHRONIESITY.
THAT'S A WELL-KNOWN SPIRITUAL
TRADITION.
MARIA: THAT ORGANIZES YOU TO
DEAL WITH SORT OF THE CHAOS OF
THE DAY OR THE NOISE OF THE DAY.
>> THE NOISE OF THE DAY.
YOU CARRY YOUR PEACE WHEREVER
YOUR GO, NO MATTER WHAT.
MARIA: THE TECHNOLOGY IS PRETTY
USER FRIENDLY AS WELL.
>> I THINK THE TECHNOLOGY IS
GOING TO BE THE NEXT PHASE OF
OUR EVOLUTION FOR HIGHER
CONSCIOUSNESS, IF WE WANT IT.
TECHNOLOGY CAN BE DESTRUCTIVE,
AS YOU KNOW.
ANYTHING YOU CAN DO WITH
TECHNOLOGY, INCLUDING HACK THE
ELECTIONS OR WHATEVER.
BUT TECHNOLOGY CAN ALSO CREATE A
MORE PEACEFUL, JUST,
SUSTAINABLE, HEALTHIER, JOYFUL
WORLD.
MARIA: HOW DOES TECHNOLOGY
CHANGE GOING FORWARD?
WHAT DO YOU SEE THAT COULD BE
POSSIBLE?
>> WHAT WE SEE AS THE INTERNET,
THAT'S OUR GLOBAL BRAIN RIGHT
NOW.
SO IF I SEND AN ABUSIVE TWEET,
LET'S SAY TO SOMEBODY IN AFRICA,
I COULD GIVE THEM HIGH BLOOD
PRESSURE JUST BY DOING THAT.
ON THE OTHER HAND, I SENSE THEM
AN
EMOTICON WITH A HUG, IT COULD
GIVE THEM A DOPA MNE HIT.
IF WE DON'T LIKE WHAT'S
HAPPENING IN THE WORLD WE HAVE
TO CHANGE THE INTERCONNECT.
MARIA: IS LIVE PERSON LOOKING
TO RECRUIT OTHER CELEBRITIES TO
PARTAKE IN A.I. CONVERSATION.
>> I THINK THEY ARE LOOKING AT
OTHER PEOPLE, INFLUENCERS.
MARIA: MAYBE THAT WILL RESONATE
WITH PEOPLE, TO BRING NEW PEOPLE
IN.
>> WE NEED A CRITICAL MASS OF
PEOPLE WHO WANT A MORE PAUSEFUL,
JUST, SUSTAINABLE, HEALTHIER AND
JOYFUL WORLD.
THAT CAN ONLY HAPPEN IF WE
COLLECTIVELY HAVE THAT INTENTION
AND REWIRE OUR COLLECTIVE BRAIN,
WHICH IS THE INTERNET.
IT'S OUR BRAIN.
MARIA: DO YOU DO NEW INTENTIONS
EVERY DAY?
>> YES.
MARIA: DO
MARIA: HOW DO THOSE INTENTIONS
COME TO YOU?
>> I DO A MORNING MEDITATION
WHICH IS ALWAYS PRECEDED BY FOUR
QUESTIONS.
WHO AM I, WHAT DO I WANT, WHAT'S
MY PURPOSE, AND WHAT AM I
GRATEFUL FOR.
AND THEN SOMETHING COMES UP.
MARIA: THAT WILL LEAD YOU TO
YOUR INTENTION.
VERY GOOD.
TELL US ABOUT BOOK, YOU ARE THE
UNIVERSE, THE MAIN THEME.
>> WE LIVE IN A HUMAN UNIVERSE.
WHAT YOU SEE OUTSIDE HERE IS A
HUMAN CREATION.
WHAT WE DON'T REALIZE IS EVEN
THINGS LIKE STARS, GALAXIES AND
OUR OWN BODIES ARE HUMAN
CONCEPTS AROUND PERCEPTUAL
EXPERIENCES.
THE WORLD IS NOT OUT THERE.
IT'S IN YOU.
YOUR BODY IS IN YOU.
YOUR MIND IS IN YOU.
BY YOU, I MEAN THE INFINITE
CONSCIOUSNESS THAT MODIFIES
ITSELF AS PERCEPTIONS, THOUGHTS,
FEELINGS, EMOTIONS.
SO ANY EXPERIENCE YOU HAVE,
DOESN'T MATTER WHAT THE
EXPERIENCE, IT'S EITHER A
SENSATION OR A PERCEPTION OR AN
IMAGE OR A FEELING OR A THOUGHT.
ONCE YOU UNDERSTAND THAT, YOU
CAN GO BACK THROUGH THE SOURCE,
THROUGH MEDITATION AS YOU'RE
DOING RIGHT NOW, THEN A THAT
OPENS THE DOOR TO CREATIVITY,
INSIGHT, INTUITION, IMAGINATION,
EVERYTHING ELSE.
MARIA: GIVES YOU THAT CLARITY
