These are shaped not by any one religion but by an instinct that is hardwired into the brain.

In this remarkable book Deepak Chopra takes us step by step from the first stage a fight or flight response which leads us to a God who is an all powerful but sometimes unpredictable parent to the seventh stage where the brain experiences God as a pure being beyond thought a sacred presence.

It is at this seventh stage that we attain a true lifechanging spiritual understanding of the world and our place in it it is the level at which saints and sages dwell.

All seven stages are available to each of us all the time.
