Why does bad news make us sad? Why does getting a raise make us want to celebrate? Not many people have thought about these questions. They seem too simple, yet in a way they are deeply mysterious. In fact, the right answer can set your body free, while the wrong answer can prove to be an inescapable trap.

Deepak Chopra: Why I Wrote Reinventing the Body, Resurrecting the Soul
Deepak Chopra - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Third Jesus by Deepak Chopra - Book
I share a related story about a situation I had with a client. When we first met, he said he had been suicidal for a long time and that if I wasn’t the one to help, he would end his life. As you can imagine this could have become a burden or very scary. It turned out, however, to be a turning point in my life.
At first I took to offering empathy to this client. Each week he borrowed a bit of my exuberance and I took some of his sorrow. So when he arrived, I was joyous and when he left I was in grief. When he arrived he was in grief and when he left he was somewhat happier. I realized this exchange of energy was not a good solution.
Without telling him, I decided to commit myself to unconditional bliss. I intended to be bliss regardless of anything he told me about his life and sorrows. Within a few months it became easy. I could hold the vibration of unconditional bliss.
While I had compassion, I became more interested in who his soul was than what his body and mind were assuming themselves to be. One day he came in and said, “Laurie, I have been feeling myself to be something I will call unconditional bliss.” His body/mind changed.
