I’ve been home sick a couple of days this week. When you’re sick you get a glimpse into the world of daytime television – it’s all pretty bad. I flicked on Ellen Degeneres who had Deepak Chopra on.
He is a guy who is called one of the great spiritual teachers. He says people should spend some quiet time each day asking yourself who am I, what do I want from life, how can I be a good friend. You don’t have to know the answers but just live the questions and life will lead you to the answers.
THIS IS STUPID!! What does it even mean!?! How can someone really think that an abstract thing called ‘life’ is going to lead you to answers?
What makes me really mad is his new book ‘Jesus: a story of enlightenment’. It’s a novel about the lost years of Jesus (age 12-30). He sees Jesus not as the Son of God but an enlightened teacher. How ridiculous is that! He’s searching for what life is about but has to write a novel about Jesus to help people find it!! He’s making up stuff about Jesus. It makes me so mad because Jesus is the only one who can truly offer us life! He hasn’t taken into account Jesus own claims about himself – to be the truth and the light and the one who brings life.
We need to remember that our world is helpless, dead, condemned, blind, children of the devil. They don’t need answers from spiritual gurus who have nothing to offer, confuse the truth and make people meditate in their own sinful hearts and minds to fin answers. Our world needs Jesus.
In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it. John 1:4-5
