Headlines That Shoulda Been, Part II
“Deepak Chopra Admits to Be Earth-Shakingly Irritating.”
Had a powerful meditation just now—caused an earthquake in Southern California,” Chopra wrote to his nearly 179,000 Twitter followers shortly after the quake.
And then, to clarify: “Was meditating on Shiva mantra & earth began to shake,” he tweeted. “Sorry about that.”
According to a ridiculously cursory Google search, Mr. Chopra once said, “If you and I are having a single thought of violence or hatred against anyone in the world at this moment, we are contributing to the wounding of the world...”
I’ll be meditating on that later this evening. Be on the lookout for world wounding.

Sounds like an admission of liability to me. Let’s sue his ass.
Perhaps a class action suit on behalf of all the folks who were materially effected by the quake damage…
I had a powerful meditation this morning ... but a quick flick of the flush handled took care of it.
I’ll be meditating on that later this evening.
I hope the earth moves for you as well.
Best I’ve been able to accomplish lately is making my office chair rattle.
I can see how the thud caused by one going off the deep end can easily be mistaken for an earth tremor.
“Correlation does not imply causality,” so that may be sufficient to deflate any class action lawsuits.
