Deepak Chopra, the celebrated author, presents a groundbreaking exploration of the ways human beings experience God in his magnum opus How To Know God: The Soul's Journey Into The Mystery Of Mysteries. This book helps the reader embark on the path to enlightenment. Chopra believes that God is the highest instinct that one needs to be aware of to know one’s true self. The book lists down the seven ways in which human beings can experience God. It is a scientific approach to spirituality and proposes that the human mind is hardwired to know God. He explains the seven natural reactions of the human nervous system that correspond to levels of divine experience. He elucidates how these are not shaped by any one religion or faith, but by the brain's requirement to get into terms with the infinite and chaotic universe and explore its meaning. Deepak Chopra takes the reader through a step-by-step procedure to achieve this, from the first stage to the seventh stage. When the human brain gives a 'fight or flight' response to God, it is the initial stage of experiencing God. At this stage, the mind experiences God as a powerful parent. It is the last stage in which the brain can experience God as a sacred presence and a pure being. At this level, one attains a true and life-altering spiritual understanding. Chopra claims that human beings have access to all the seven stages at all times. How To Know God: The Soul's Journey Into The Mystery Of Mysteries gives an insight into the longing of the human mind to connect with God. And by taking readers through these steps, Chopra explores telepathy, religious ecstasy, mysticism, multiple personalities, genius and clairvoyance. He draws his inspiration from different religions, psychology, physics and neurology. Chopra believes that God is not a thing or a person, but a process. In this book, he teaches how that process can be completed and ensures that everyone can engage in this process. About Deepak Chopra
