Chopra Blames Own Meditation for Baja Quake [Excerpts]
The U.S. Geological Survey is blaming day-to-day seismological changes for [April 4, 2010] 7.2 earthquake along the U.S.-Mexico border. But Deepak Chopra, the famed alternative-medicine practitioner and transcendental meditation guru, is pretty sure he knows what really happened.
"Had a powerful meditation just now -- caused an earthquake in Southern California," Chopra wrote to his nearly179,000 Twitter followers shortly after the quake.
And then, to clarify: "Was meditating on Shiva mantra & earth began to shake," he tweeted. "Sorry about that."
Deepak Chopra… sent messages [April 4, 2010] to his thousands of Twitter followers apologizing for causing an earthquake in Southern California with powerful meditation.
Chopra might want to apologize directly to those in California, who haven't suffered significant infrastructure damage but are still bracing for more temblors, and to those in Mexico, where two are dead, hundreds are injured and thousands are still without power.
Transcendental meditation (TM) was largely popularized by Chopra, who's been dubbed "McMeditation" for the multimillion-dollar profits he's earned off books, DVDs and his Chopra Center for Wellbeing in Carlsbad, Calif. -- where a six-day mind-body wellness program runs around $2,500.

[TBC: The end result for those who have believed the lie that “ye shall be as gods” (Genesis:3:5For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.) is to actually believe they can acquire and use godlike powers. While Chopra’s claims may inspire his followers, they only furnish further evidence of the deception he promotes and may well believe.]
