Deepak Chopra Has Never Been Sick

Quote:
Einstein was incredulously asking someone whether they really believe that the moon only exists when it’s looked at. Correct?

Yes. The moon is an experience in human consciousness. The moon that you and I see is an experience in human consciousness. If there was no human consciousness, no body, mind to go with it, there would be no awareness of the moon.

But the moon would still be there, correct?

How do you prove that? How do you validate that? How do you disprove that? How do you prove an unobserved phenomenon?

The moon is a human story. The universe is a human story. It’s a human construct, or human experiences, and interpreted by the human mind.

So this would be akin to the question, which I’m sure we’ve all heard, that if a tree falls in the forest and no one hears it, does it make a sound?
