What's Wrong With Deepak Chopra?

[aidenhall]

Almost a year since I discovered this whole "study of existence" or whatever we should call it and as I've read and listened to various teachers to get a good intellectual overview I've stumbled upon Deepak Chopra. Listening to some of his talks it sounds like he's on to the exact same things but at the same time I see a lot of hate for him, that he is not coming from the same place as a mystic. Since I've just started researching this I struggle to grasp exactly what he is doing wrong and why he is taken less seriously, since he use many of the same explanations and words. Is he too bold in his claims, new agey or mess things up because he tries to explain unexplainable things with language?

Deepak Chopra is a spiritual teacher, not a mystic or an enlightened master. He is an alternative medicine advocate, public speaker, writer.

Yes I get the same impression from him. Not very enlightened, just more on the smart side of things. I have a book of his life after death. It's okay. Nothing life changing from what I have seen.
