Rating:  Summary: Deepak Chopra Should Stay With Healing Wounds and Diseases Review: I was going to stop reading on page 1 after I found six errors. But I continued to read until page 14 and then had enough. His writings are more like the speeches of the sophists of ancient Athens who twisted the minds of people for political or personal interests. He is a book salesman who appeases people, for instance, in the fields of religion, nformation systems thinkers and physics. Chopra claims that his three component world theory parallels the religious worldview. This is not true. The religious view has only two components -- God and Nature. He adds his third component, which consists of a quantum soup and information, in between God and Nature, seemingly only to appease and sell more books to the physicists and information specialists. By adding this third component, he destroys most religions in the Western world and also the field of metaphysics. His idea that God can be known beyond His existence is also opposed to most religions in the Western world. That was enough for me.
Rating:  Summary: Divine Whopper Review: This book is a divine whopper. Divine nourishment for every cell of your reality sandwich. Read it and your awareness will be transformed forever. It`s not only a how-to-know-book, it`s as well a how-to-do book, or better a how-to-be-book. Read it and become one with your ever permanent witnessing observer. Knock at the door and it shall open...Deepak Chopra has written the new book of books...it`s a practical guide towards enlightenment!
Rating:  Summary: A big disappointment. Review: I found this book very limited and shallow and, at least for me, it answered absolutely no questions. I found the writing uninspiring and, in general, do not recommend the book.
Rating:  Summary: p.s. Review: A postscript to my last review:This book can be powerfully used as a teacher by "taking on" the characteristics of the level just above the one you're on. When you do this, what is in the way begins to come up, available to see and to clear up. Not to make this sound easy - it is hard work and requires the willingness to look inside for answers. Quite a gift from Mr. Chopra!
Rating:  Summary: This book creates limits instead of infinite possibilities. Review: Chopra tried to create a step by step process to know God and to rate where you stand as a human being. It is not possible to put God into a category. Therefore, the book limits itself instead of creating infinite possibilities...
Rating:  Summary: Deepak Does It Again! Review: Recently, Deepak appeared on LARRY KING LIVE While promoting this book. When Larry asked what the difference is between religion and spiritually, Deepak replied, "Religion is for those who are afraid of going to hell. Spiritually is for those who have already been there." The power behind Deepaks work and his books has always come from his directness and his refusal to be "politically correct." He continues that in this new book, which is not only filled with exceptionally well-written ideas about our quest to connect with the spiritual and what we call God, but also callings us to dig deeper than we are normally comfortable doing. Also, don't miss Deepak's no-holds-barred interview in Nina L. Diamond's new book, VOICES OF TRUTH: Conversations with Scientists, Thinkers, and Healers, a must read for all thinking people.
Rating:  Summary: WE KNOW ONLY WHAT GOD IS NOT Review: 'God' is a situation. Not a power, or a being, or an influence. Not a 'he' or a 'she', but an 'it'. Not entity or non-entity, but the situation in which there can be both entity and non-entity. Have I learnt correctly from Deepak Chopra? Because people cannot understand that what is not can influence what is, they maintain that 'God' is and does. But our ignorance of 'God' -- and I keep putting the word in inverted commas in order to except it from its common meanings -- and its motives will always remain infinite. To ask "What is God?" is as futile as to ask "When does infinity begin and end?" Through Chopra's writings I have understood that existence is ultimately or potentially knowable; 'God' is infinitely unknowable. The most we shall ever learn is why existence is AS IT IS - why it requires such laws and such constituents to continue. We shall never learn ultimately WHY IT IS.
Rating:  Summary: The most definitive book on experiencing God Review: I have read most of Mr. Chopra's books. All have been excellent. However, he has outdone himself now. This is truly the best book I have ever read, the most inspiring and a must read for anyone on the spiritual path. It answers so many questions, and makes sense out of life. What more could one want. Mr. Chopra I suspect you are on your way to Sainthood!
Rating:  Summary: A Path to Love Review: I am thankful that Deepak has taken the time to share his insights with us. I feel that many of his ideas about intuition and seeking God within, are needed for our survival. More than anything, the book gives faith and hope to the reader that we can move mountains. Deepak's ideas are very useful for daily life and spirtitual development. Tonight, I had difficulty feeding my 10 month old son, only to step outside and see inspiration eight feet from my door...a robin feeding her 6 days old babies. A connection that would have gone unnoticed, prior to my experience with How To Know God.
Rating:  Summary: How to Know God: The Soul's Journey into... Review: After reading some books by Chopra I thought I was ready to handle "How to Know God"...but what i got instead was an incredible spiritual journey. The book came to me at a time when I myself was experiencing an "inner battle" and the book sort of gave me the answers. Thank you Deepak for sharing your insights and wisdom with us...
