Wonderful! ( )

"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.
In How to Know God, Deepak Chopra charts a fascinating course as he 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 greatest subject of all: the ultimate quest we are all on, whether we realize it or not. For, as Chopra puts it, ""God is our highest instinct to know ourselves."" This extraordinary book makes a dramatic, and enduring, contribution to that knowledge."

This is a wonderful book in which Chopra discusses faith. I read it not long after 9/11, and I believe it really helped me sort through things in my mind. I'd recommend this very highly to any and everyone. ( )
