Are You Conscious of the Clock Ticking? How to Stop It
Are you conscious of the clock ticking as life goes by? I came across an interview with Deepak Chopra by Madisyn Taylor of DailyOM. Here is an excerpt from that interview, focusing on how to stop the clock for a timeless body. Your true self is instrumental in making your body timeless. Here is the interview which will show you why age doesn’t matter.
How to Get a Timeless Body
MT: You write “Time doesn’t cause us to age.” Tell me more about this.
DC: The point is actually about the body as a process. It is necessary to see that the basis of your body is timeless. Every atom and molecule is unaffected by age, and at the quantum level every atom and molecule is grounded in the quantum field, which is beyond time. Consciousness doesn’t age. If you think the word “rhinoceros,” this thought is the same whether you are seven or 70.
If you appreciate from the outset that you are a consciousness-based creature, then the timelessness is your baseline. The trick is to remain timeless. That is done through living as consciously as possible. Every day you have the choice to do, think, and say those things that make you evolve or not. As long as you are evolving, the deterioration we call aging will be slowed down or reversed. Certainly there are some things, like the core beliefs I spoke about, that need never age.
If you as a self don’t age, that’s the big victory. Then whatever happens in the body will pose no fear or self-judgment. We don’t judge a rose or a tree because they drop their leaves in winter. Time has its seasons, and we are designed to harmonize with them, not to force them to conform to our fears about growing older…
Mind & Body Connection:
When your core beliefs are life-enhancing, they look like the following:
I am loving and lovable.
I am worthy.
I am safe and trusting.
I am fulfilled and whole.
These should be our normal, everyday core beliefs about ourselves, and if they are the body will be aligned with them.— Deepak Chopra
DC: People set out all the time to improve their lives, and the results are mixed. Some things get better, some things don’t. Some things get better only to slip back into the old grooves, leaving you stuck. But very few people want to change their reality, and it turns out that this is the only way that leads to true transformation. It sounds very grand, even inflated, to talk about reinventing the body and resurrecting the soul, but in fact you cannot achieve transformation without doing both. The state of your body and mind reflects your state of awareness. So my approach is to raise your awareness first, which will change your reality entirely. At that point, the union of body, mind, and soul opens up unlimited opportunities.
Description of Reinventing the Mind, Resurrecting the Soul Course:
In this life-changing course, Deepak Chopra reveals “the forgotten miracle”–the body’s infinite capacity for change and renewal. “You cannot take advantage of this miracle,” Chopra says, “unless you are willing to completely reinvent your body, transforming it from a material object to a dynamic, flowing process. Your physical body is a fiction. Every cell is made up of two invisible ingredients: awareness and energy. This course details five recent breakthroughs of the body that lead to self-transformation by changing the distorted energy patterns that are the root cause of aging, infirmity, and disease. Transformation can’t end with the body, however; it must involve the soul. The soul–seemingly invisible, aloof, and apart from the material world–actually creates the body. Only by going to the level of the soul will you reach your full potential, bringing more intelligence, creativity, and awareness into every aspect of your life.

Angie, I have long been a fan of Deepak Chopra but it has been a while since I have read anything. I love this philosophy of our consciousness being timeless. I totally agree with it all and the quantum physics that underlies the theory. I feel like I am always trying to be more conscious and self aware because these are the things that change our realities and help us find our way to better living. Thanks so much for sharing and inspiring me to research some more on these topics. Thanks for linking up.
