Some excerpts from Deepak Chopra’s “How to knowGod” to begin with…
We evolve to find God. A seeker always hopes to see the one, true final God who will settle all doubts, but instead we hunt for clues. Unable to take in totality of God, we get hints from the brain, which is exercising an amazing ability to insert a glimpse of spirit in the most mundane situations. ….
Modern life appears to us random and chaotic….it looks meaningless because we are worn out of old responses, old realities….and an old version of God. In this lifeless life we want to bring God back….so we will have to find new responses….new clues….to lead us on the path. As some spiritual teacher has put it…..
” The material world is infinite, but it is a boring infinity….The really interesting infinity lies beyond….”
God’s most cherished secrets are hidden inside the human skull – ecstacy, eternal love, grace and mystery….Find a window to God…you have to realize that your brain is layered into regions that are ruled by different impulses. The new kingdoms are full of higher thought, poetry, and Love like Qur’an or Bible or any sacred text.
Prayer is a journey in consciousness – it takes you to a place different from ordinary thought. The awareness is the “light” torchbearer for all intelligence and life.
The fact that we are born with the potential to go from simple survival to God-consciousness is the remarkable trait that sets our nervous system apart from all other creatures.
Think God….Feel God….as He describes Himself….and why not…why any doubt ….since the science modern religion affirms and traces creartion back to light….
24:35. Allah (is) the Light of the heavens and the earth. The Likeness of ITs/His Light is as if there were a Niche/Alcove and within it a Lamp: the Lamp enclosed in Glass: the glass as it were a brilliant star: Lit from a blessed Tree, an Olive, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil would almost glow forth (of itself), though no fire touched it: Light upon Light! Allah doth guide whom IT/He will to ITs/His Light: Allah doth set forth Parables for men: and Allah doth know all things.
visit and see what it has to show indeed the TRUE LIGHT
