I am s=nding you my ideas about what for me would be a dream project. The Mind-Br=in Institute for Higher Consciousness and Global Leadership could be a las=ing legacy. For this to come true, it must take on a life of its own through young people who aspire to evolve i=to a new all-embracing peace consciousness. Let me offer=my blue-sky proposals. 1. We need t= forge living links with the influential people who can make a difference.=l am reminded that Henry Kissinger quietly became the center of a global n=twork of leaders by running a summer school at Harvard that brought everyone together around him. I'd like to d= that with a select group every summer. By spotting and inspiring the infl=encers of tomorrow, we would create a living legacy. 2. I've writ=en two books, Peace Is the Way and The Soul of Leaders=ip, where the outline of higher consciousness is fully detailed in pra=tical terms. I'd like to foster a central theme for creating peace consciousness, which comes from three "=S" words in Sanskrit: Seva is giving yourself in service to a c=use bigger than yourself . Satsang is sharing the truth in a group of the=like-minded. It would be wonderful if we could ingrain these val=es in every participant so that they can go home and form their own follow=ng around them. 3. To keep the three "S" words alive, let's use=social media as well as a website where participants dialogue with me ever= day. This would be an extension of the Facebook videos I've been doing for several years that now have millions of f=llowers. 4. I am going to write my next book on the future of huma= evolution, which is titled Meta-Human. I think we could=apply this as an inspiration for people to self-direct their own evolution and heal their own lives. Going beyond The=Soul of Leadership, I envision the mastery of leadership. It fits a nice a=ronym: META Mastery, Evolution, Transformation, Action. </=pan> 2 EFTA_R1_01882122 EFTA02645634 We can offer TED-style talks in a beautiful conference se=ting where "sages and scientists" address the latest progress in="meta" consciousness from a mind-brain perspective. 5. This brings up the brain side of mind-brain. I have li=ited interest in current neuroscience, despite its huge advances since I w=s in medical school, because the whole field is still totally materialist. There's no room for inspiration,=creativity, the higher self, or the soul when everything must be red=ced to brain cells bouncing electrochemical charges around. My alternative is the Enlightened Brain which I feel shou=d be the core of how we approach mind-brain in every aspect. Consciousness=creates and shapes the brain; mind isn't a byproduct of neurons twinkling away inside the skull. This is a fr=nge idea in today's neuroscience, but so was quantum healing and the consc=ous universe 20 or 30 years ago. I foresee an academy of top figures who convene twice a y=ar to further the Enlightened Brain with the intent of making = big impact on neuroscience Those are the basics that occur to me now, and I'm eager =o hear what you and Ray think. There are many creative possibilities, such=as documentaries like An Inconvenient Truth, e-books, a journal, etc. but in my experience such c=nventional outlets tend to get clogged up with a swarm of competing egos. = want everything to be uplifting, personal, human, and future-forward. I'm not sure what format this endeavor would take place .=Ray has made an enormous impact on health with his work with the UN . Coul= a similar partnership occur with the UN for global peace and a new leadership ? I'm eternally grateful for your lifelong love and support=and to Ray as well. My heartfelt thanks for sparking these ideas and maki=g me self reflect on what I want to do with the final and most important chapters of my life. Whatever shap= of form this next phase of my life takes I want this to be not about &quo=;me " as a person but "me " as an agent for service and tra=sformation . I would love to hear what you and Ray might have to suggert Love, Deepak Deepak Chopra MD 2013 Costa Del Mar Road Carlsbad, CA 92009 Chopra Foundation <http://www.choprafound=tion.org/> 3 EFTA_R1_01882123 EFTA02645635 Jiyo <http://www.jiyo.com/> Cho=ra Center for Wellbeing <http://www.chopra.corn/= target=> <https://www.disco=eringyourcosmicself.corni> <https://www.discoyeringyourcosmicself.cornk 4 EFTA_R1_01882124 EFTA02645636
