How To Know God
Deepak Chopra
The Soul's Journey Into The Mystery Of Mysteries

The bestselling author of Ageless Body, Timeless Mind has written his most ambitious and important work yet - an exploration of the seven ways we experience God. These are shaped, not by any one religion, but by an instinct that is hardwired into the brain. In this remarkable book, Chopra takes us step by step from the first stage, where the brain's 'fight or flight' response leads us to a God who is an all-powerful and sometimes unpredictable parent, to the seventh stage, where the brain experiences God as pure being, beyond thought, a sacred presence . It is at this seventh stage that we attain a true, life-changing spiritual understanding of the world and our place in it; it is the level at which saints and sages dwell.

All seven stages are available to each of us, all the time. Deepak Chopra explores mysticism, religious ecstasy, genius, telepathy, multiple personality and clairvoyance, drawing insights from psychology, neurology and physics, as well as from the great religions. The result is vintage Chopra applied to the ultimate quest.

About The Author:

This book is glowing account of our limitless potential, 14 Feb 2001
This book is surely inspired. It combines a lucid understanding of many aspects of spirituality with revelatory quotations from Christianity,
Buddhism and Hinduism. It is founded upon a deep appreciation of cutting edge medicine and science, even exploring the further reaches
of today's quantum physics. Nor does Chopra thrust upon the reader any kind of evangelical enthusiasm for his views. His respect is for all
aspects of belief, religious experience and the knowlege of God. The Seven Stages of humanity's perception of God are revealed with
gentleness, compassion, love and brilliantly relevant anecdotal references allied to an amazing range of quotations, coming from a broad
and profound knowledge of the world's scriptures and mystical writings. The book gathers a tremendous force- an almost breathless
excitement- as it progresses. Readers will find their own personal spiritual experiences being validified and valued as they eagerly read on.
It is a transendant summation of the meaning of our lives and the joy that has happened, is happening and will happen to us. A wonderful,
beautiful, practical and enriching journey of discovery into ultimate truth.
