How to Know God: The Soul’s Journey into the Mystery of Mysteries

by Deepak Chopra

📖 320 pages 🗓 1999 ISBN 978-0609604052

About This Book

An ambitious synthesis of neuroscience, comparative religion, and mystical experience, this book proposes that the human brain is wired for seven specific "responses to God" — states of consciousness that correspond to the major types of spiritual experience reported across all traditions, from miracles and visions to non-dual awareness. Chopra argues that these are not supernatural events but natural expressions of the brain's built-in capacity for transcendence.

What You'll Learn

God is not a fixed entity but a projection of human consciousness at its various levels of development — the same ultimate reality appears differently at each level of spiritual growth. The seven responses to God correspond to seven levels of brain function — understanding these helps the practitioner navigate the spiritual path with greater clarity and less confusion about conflicting religious claims. Peak experiences, mystical states, and moments of grace are not anomalies but demonstrations of the brain's highest natural capacities.
