Personalities in the Uni-verse of Recycled Relationships

This past Sunday morning while getting ready for the day, I had the tv turned on to PBS. I could hear the distinct tone and tenor of Deepak Chopra wafting in from the living room. I have to confess? everytime I see, hear or read about Deepak Chopra I think to myself, "Him again." I get so ho-hum everytime I read, hear or see Wayne Dyer. Or Marianne Williamson. Same o' same o'.


But if truth be told, when I let go of my initial resistance to Deepak, Dyer or Williamson, my spiritual sight is pried open even wider than before, I get epiphanies or startling revelations, and discover insights I would probably never have arrived at on my own.


Deepak was talking about the unity of all life. Okay already. Tell me something I don't know.


"You and I are one with the One," he said. "We are all made of the same matter as the universe." He continued, "That's why it is UNI. It's one verse, a uni-verse."


Hmm? Interesting thought. On my own, I doodled in my head, "uni-verse, di-verse..."


In the background, Deepak persisted. "We are One with everything. Our breath is recycled air, our blood is recycled blood, and what is our personality but recycled relationships?"


Screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeech!

Auuugggghhh!
