Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

How to Know God is a truly remarkable work and in many ways it can be viewed as a summation of Deepak Chopra's work so far. A distinguished physician and lecturer, Deepak Chopra is also renowned for the small library of inspirational titles he has authored. His core subjects are physical and spiritual health, moral responsibility and ancient wisdom, and throughout he offers an insightful and holistic approach to the deepest questions in our internal and external lives. How to Know God draws upon all of these subjects in a profound study which marks an evolution in Deepak Chopra's thinking. The key factors here are religious philosophy and quantum physics, neuroscience and mysticism. Together they form a synthesis--a seven-stage theory of how we can know, understand and reach God. The stages are a series of responses: fight or flight, reactive, restful, intuitive, creative, visionary and sacred. At each stage we are learning to understand the complexities within ourselves, our environment, humanity as a whole and the totality of existence--the totality that equals God or "infinite intelligence".

It's an immense undertaking to explain. But in 300 pages, Deepak Chopra guides us through with simplicity and skill and with a deep sense of empathy. He also avoids the rarefied academic tone which a work such as this could fall prey to. How to Know God is both accessible and easily absorbed. It's about the God within ourselves and the God we perceive around us; it's about how we can reach our God and affect positive change. "I absolutely agree with Dr. Chopra's view that if we want to change the world we have to begin by changing ourselves." --The Dalai Lama. --Lucas LoBlack



Review

Chopra, a former doctor, is an incisive and persuasive writer. Here, he takes as his subject the most profound mystery of all: how to know God. He uses anecdotal evidence along with scientific argument, exploring phenomena such as clairvoyance and telepathy as well as aspects of psychology and neurology. It's an interesting and stimulating read, and the authoritative tone does much to sweep the sceptical reader through. However, his premise - to examine God as an objective entity - is almost immediately belied by his stated search for God as subjective; as a component or state of the mind. 'We are trying to find the basic facts that will make God possible, real and useful,' he asserts, adding that 'God is as we are'. A 'useful' God seems an unattractive and rather pointless proposition, but Chopra does not pursue this line, choosing instead to focus on the brighter picture of the divine within - the limitless self.

5.0 out of 5 stars brilliant, 15 Mar 2000
By lilos.r@zahav.net.il (Tel-Aviv, Israel) - See all my reviews
As usual Deepak speaks from his personal experience,as a person who has read all his books I am convinced that Deepak has God consiouness quite often. In every Book I notice his spiritual advance. The most surprising is the feeling that he writes about what is and has happen to me.
