The highest spiritual goal one can possibly reach is to know reality totally, because with knowledge, we transform reality. I'd like to think that Deepak Chopra is asking folks to expand one's notions of space, time, matter, to try to embrace with understanding the phenomenon of what is amazing and certain, per scientific learning. There are those who believe that Chopra is referring to phenonmenon beyond the five basic senses. Realities Humans, being what they are, have devised ingenious ways to define the parameters through which they define reality. Philosophy is one such way.
Philosophy is the sum of mankind's attempts to answer the questions at the heart of being human.
There are, of course, as many differing philosophies as there are parameters for interpretation. MonoRealism - based on reality, reason, and the supreme value of your own life. Virtual Reality Eight - Scientific spirituality, scientific religions, virtual reality on a planetary scale. Regardless of what we call them, the process reduces itself to individual interpretation of external events, as data collected by the senses and analyzed. This is why one person may produce unending streams of evidence that Elvis Presley is a hero, worshipped for his showmanship, character, performance, musicianship, etc., while another questions the sincerity, honesty, talent, character and importance of the same figure.
