Walking up New York's Fifth Avenue one morning, Chopra recounts a story from his first days in America. He was working at a hospital in Plainfield, N.J., earning $202 every two weeks, when he stopped into a Volkswagen dealership. Nice cars, he told the dealer, but he had no money. They talked: a little give, a little take. For $50 down, and $25 monthly payments, he left with a new red VW Bug. It is one of the few personal anecdotes he volunteers, and a fitting one for Chopra's odyssey. Because there is a confidence game here, but there is a car as well: conjured from the unified field, a rubber-and-steel ticket to infinite possibilities. If this is possible, what else? Chopra laughs. When he got that car, he says, ""I thought, America is a great country!''

    I enjoyed this article and Chopra certainly has a following, maybe this is because, what he says we all agree with on a Spiritual Level. However although many of the things he expounds are true, no one including Chopra, has found the specific way of doing them yet. He certainly has perfected the publicity and celebrity lifestyle.
