"The physical world, including our bodies, is a response of the observer. We create our bodies as we create the experience of our world"
About this Quote
The intent is motivational metaphysics with a therapeutic sheen. It invites listeners to feel agency where they usually feel trapped: by illness, by appearance, by circumstance. It also fits neatly into a late-20th-century self-help ecosystem that merges pop psychology with a simplified, Western-friendly reading of Eastern philosophy and quantum talk. The message isn’t “mind matters,” it’s “mind is sovereign.”
The subtext is where the claim becomes culturally potent and ethically fraught. If you “create” your body, then suffering can read as miscreation - a failure of attention, belief, or spiritual hygiene. That implication can be empowering for someone seeking control, and brutal for someone confronting structural limits or chronic disease. Chopra’s success has always lived in that tension: he offers cosmic permission to rewrite the self, and he does it with language just scientific-sounding enough to feel like more than a metaphor, while remaining slippery enough to resist being pinned down.
