> COMMENT CONNAÎTRE DIEU, par Deepak Chopra - Ed. du Rocher. — Connaître Dieu est, de l'aveu de tous, l'ouvrage le plus ambitieux de Deepak Chopra : selon lui, tout le monde peut faire l'expérience directe de la divinité, car notre cerveau est programmé pour connaître Dieu. Le système nerveux humain présente sept réactions biologiques qui correspondent aux sept niveaux de l'expérience divine. Cette conception ne s'appuie sur aucune religion particulière, mais se fonde sur le besoin que nous éprouvons nécessairement de trouver un sens à cet infini chaos qu'est l'univers - et qui nous mène inévitablement face à Dieu.
Alliant science et philosophie, Deepak Chopra nous montre comment aller à la rencontre de Dieu, éclairant en chemin les mystères que sont l'éveil religieux, l'extase, le génie, la télépathie, la personnalité multiple et la voyance - mystères qui font partie intégrante de ce "champ de l'esprit" qu'a découvert la physique quantique il y a près de cent ans. Ce lieu invisible, qui semble intégralement vide, est en réalité la matrice de la création. Dieu est notre co-créateur dans le processus continuel d'auto-création qu'est la vie elle-même. Et mieux connaître Dieu nous permet d'accéder directement à la guérision, à l'amour et aux miracles. "Dieu est le niveau le plus élevé de l'instinct qui nous pousse à nous connaître", dit Deepak Chopra. Ce livre apporte une contribution majeure et durable à ce savoir.
Médecin, professeur à l'université de médecine de Boston et responsable d'un centre de soins à La Jolla (Californie), le Dr Deepak Chopra est l'auteur d'une vingtaine d'ouvrages traduits dans trente-cinq langues.

I’m on a more biblical path now, so I thought I’d re-evaluate what I think of the book.

Basically, now I want to memorize the Psalms, so that’s going to interfere with the desire I once had to read all of Dyer & Chopra, at least once.

Stereotypical TV General: *upset* There isn’t. Time.

As to its value, if I can say after going over it once, well, of course I don’t know if his stages of God-consciousness are the best possible, or, more to the point, if assuming that his outline has merit, whether he prepared the dish like a Gordon Ramsay or a teenager or something in-between.

But I will say this: it’s better than watching TV. TV at its best is harmless, but.

When it comes down to ultimate things, that’s when you really become either proud or wise, and I don’t think that you have to clone me to advance.

And, you know, (affirmations) and meditation and other forms of new age study and repetition are a better primer for memorization study than.... sci-fi comedies.

“The giant squids are overcoming the earth! E gad!”

Bless and do not curse.

Generally, this is one genre of books that I don't particularly buy into. Why did I think this one would be any different? Well, I guess the name Deepak Chopra carries more weight than I thought it would. Let me explain. When someone goes and writes over eighty books on anything and has a good proportion of those books in the New York Times Bestseller list, I suppose a lot of weight is added to their words and works. Plus a lot of people gave this book a five-star rating. Collectively, people know things and have good opinions, right?

Personally, this book just got hokier as it continued. It started out well enough, try to tie quantum mechanics into our search for God. This makes some sense I guess. I mean, the quantum physicists themselves spend a great deal of time saying things like how quantum mechanics can't be understood or whatever. No one goes and doubts the existence of Atoms though. Even though most of Quantum Physics is equations and other esoteric abstractions, there are pieces of evidence for them existing.

This "Doctor" Chopra gives credence to the idea of clairvoyance and other pseudoscientific ideas. As many people have quipped before, "to any telepaths in the room, raise my hand." This is just the tip of the iceberg for this man. He irresponsibly states that science has shown that prayer is effective. If someone gets cancer, I am sure they appreciate being prayed for, but I am surer that they will appreciate the science that is fighting for them even more.

As you know, there are seven levels of spiritual development that people go through. The bottom is the atheist and the top is the true believer. Or something like that. I just skipped through after he started throwing clairvoyance and other things at me. It reminds me of the story of the counting horse or some other carnival act. If you are a Chopra completionist, you might enjoy this, though if the book does contain a blurb about his eighty other books, you might want to try one before he seemingly sold out. ( )
