  • -You're one of my favorite guests,

  • because you kind of calm me down a little bit.

  • -I could show you how to do that,

  • but it would ruin your career.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • -Thank you. [ Laughter ]

  • But I believe everything that you say to me, always.

  • -Including the pink hair. -Yes.

  • -Symptoms of Alzheimer's.

  • -Yeah, whatever you were saying back there.

  • But then, because I was wearing a wig and then --

  • But do you remember last time --

  • This is -- I don't want to embarrass,

  • but last time, you were saying that you had this thing

  • you were working with, and he goes --

  • But you didn't explain it, and you came up to me and said,

  • "Jimmy." I said, "Yeah?" And you go, "Show me your poop."

  • [ Light laughter ]

  • -Yeah, because we were analyzing the microbiome.

  • 2 million genes. -Yeah.

  • -Because, technically speaking,

  • you're a bacterial colony with a few human cells hanging on.

  • -Why, thank you. [ Laughter ]

  • Tell me about "Metahuman."

  • What does that mean, "metahuman"?

  • -"Meta" means "beyond," and human means

  • beyond the human-conditioned mind.

  • Because all of society operates

  • under the hypnosis of social conditioning.

  • And it limits their imagination, insight, intuition, creativity,

  • higher vision, inspiration.

  • Everything that actually we value as humans

  • is limited by social conditioning.

  • -Really? So we should --

  • What you're saying, basically, is, there's a way to go further.

  • -Yeah, every child that is born is actually proof

  • that God has not yet given up on human beings.

  • 'Cause children are automatically full of wonder,

  • curiosity, playfulness, joy,

  • humor, love, compassion, empathy.

  • And by the time they get to your age, see what happens.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • [ Cheers and applause ]

  • -Uh... [ Clears throat ]

  • In here it says -- You say, "We need to get past

  • the physical world, because it actually doesn't exist.

  • There's no such thing as a solid."

  • -This thing is proportionately as void as intergalactic space.

  • So is your body. If you go beyond the appearance

  • of molecules and atoms and particles,

  • you end up with a handful of nothing.

  • And that nothing is the womb of creation.

  • Nature goes to exactly the same place to create you

  • as it goes to create a galaxy of stars.

  • We are made of nothingness.

  • "We come spinning out of nothingness,

  • scattering stars like dust."

  • That's a poem from Rumi, the great Sufi mystic.

  • -How long have you toured with The Grateful Dead?

  • [ Laughter ]

  • -They borrowed some of my lyrics.

  • [ Laughter ]

  • -"Metahuman" -- this is your 90th book, by the way.

  • -Yeah, one of these days, I'll stop.

  • [ Laughter ] -No, I don't want you to stop.

  • I just find it amazing. 90 is unbelievable.

  • 90 books. You just don't stop.

  • You don't stop writing. You don't stop thinking

  • of new things and fun ways to help people

  • and to calm everyone down

  • and have people experience new things.

  • I'm gonna show you something. It's a brand-new invention.

  • Is it out yet? Digital Deepak?

  • -Well, it's in training.

  • And you all can help train it by interacting with it.

  • It's like a baby.

  • So, like babies need education, love, nurturing...

  • -Yes. -...this one needs it.

  • And all of you can participate, if you want to.

  • -Do we know when this is coming out?

  • -It's almost in beta now. So, it's about to release.

  • -All right, there it is, right there.

  • Can you see this? [ Laughter ]

  • It is Digital Deepak. That is like an A.I. you.

  • Is that -- If I'm correct, right?

  • -That's right. That's my A.I. twin.

  • -And this has read all of your books?

  • -It's read all my books, articles.

  • It has access to libraries.

  • It will one day speak to the grandchildren

  • of my grandchildren, tell them about the show...

  • [ Light laughter ] ...and learn from them, as well.

  • -And I can -- I can use it tonight, is that right?

  • -If you want. Ask it a question.

  • [ Cheers and applause ]

  • -It's happening.

  • All right.

  • I have to say... Hello, Digital Deepak.

  • -Hey, Jimmy.

  • -Oh, my gosh. [ Laughter ]

  • -Digital Deepak, what is metahuman?

  • -I believe there's an inner intelligence within all of us,

  • which is the ultimate and supreme genius

  • and which mirrors the wisdom of the universe.

  • That's metahuman -- the genius inside you.

  • I have a meditation that will help you with this.

  • -Meditation. You guys want to try it?

  • Do we want to try a meditation?

  • [ Cheers and applause ]

  • Can we do this? Roots, wanna do a meditation?

  • Okay, Digital Deepak, let's do it.

  • -Let's begin.

  • Please close your eyes.

  • Just sit quietly, uncross your feet,

  • put your feet on the ground, and now relax your body.

  • Relax your mind. Let thoughts drift in and out,

  • just observing them like clouds in the sky.

  • Observe the breath in.

  • And now observe it as it goes out through your nostrils.

  • And you have started your journey in meditation.

  • -Wow.

  • Thank you, Digital Deepak.

  • -My pleasure. Bye-bye.

  • [ Laughter and applause ]

  • -That's crazy. That's amazing.

  • Deepak Chopra, everybody!

  • "Metahuman: Unleashing Your Infinite Potential"

  • is available now.

-You're one of my favorite guests,
