Deepak Chopra on NM In Focus, tonight at 7 pm & Sunday at 6:30 am

One of Time Magazine’s top 100 icons of the 20th century recently visited the KNME studios and sat down for a one-on-one interview with NM IN FOCUS co-host David Alire Garcia.

Visiting New Mexico as part of a Wellness Conference, the nationally-renowned bestselling author and spiritual leader chatted about everything from health and politics, to his latest book,The Third Jesus: The Christ We Cannot Ignore. In this new work, Chopra proposes both a challenge to current systems of belief and a fresh perspective on what Jesus can teach us all, regardless of our religious backgrounds. Chopra theorizes that there is not one Jesus, but three, and told David that Jesus is also the topic of the next book he’s writing, The Man Who Would Be Christ. Catch the interview Friday night at 7:00 p.m. or Sunday morning at 6:30 a.m. or next week here on knme.org.

Also this week on N.M. IN FOCUS, our panelists get into a discussion of things currently being discussed by New Mexicans, such as the politics of “change.” It’s the buzz word for the presidential campaign, but what does it really mean to the country? Then the group weighs in on the political correctness battle and the fight over the future of Public TV.
