God and Buddha together again

Two experts complement each other in a free-form discussion. We are immediately introduced to Vedanta by Deepak Chopra. And it is quite surprising because you are expecting some sort of new-age concepts to come from him; instead, you get ageless concepts that tell you what you knew before you ever heard of Vedanta. Then Bob Thurman ties this to Buddha and explains that the only difference is semantics. The balance of the presentation is going into more detail and describing experiences that relate to the original insights. Deepak is spellbinding from the beginning as he describes reality as a magical projection of divine consciousness. Robert Thurman takes a tad getting used to because at first, you are thinking he is either “Mad-Eye Moody” or Uma’s father; then you settle down and replay what he is saying. You may need to play this in small snippets so you can contemplate the thoughts placed forward. This is also an excellent place to do some supplemental reading of the Upanishads. You will find yourself repeatedly watching this presentation to pick up ideas that you want to expand on after testing them out.
