Movie Reviews of How to Know God
Movie Review: A Study of God's Presence in All Cultures
Summary: 5 Stars
Deepak Chopra brings a new understanding to our concept of God and includes ideas from Quantum Physics in this playful, yet captivating journey into the mind of God. We find Deepak Chopra in Las Vegas, wandering around in a desert where it seems to be snowing and viewing a movie in a theatre of the universe.
His narration throughout encourages a merging of many ideas into a wider understanding of how the universe works. He journey's to Egypt and India to explore how these cultures viewed God and then he delves into Greek Mythology.
The idea of Christ is briefly mentioned through a visual reference and the idea of a God visualized as a ancient man with a beard is quickly discarded. The God Deepak Chopra speaks of is much more the God of the "Universal Mind" with creative powers who lives through us while we are here on earth. The only hint that this is the same God of the Bible comes in when there is a discussion a out God being the "Word."
"How to Know God" brings more of an understanding to the compatibility of science and religion and in that regard it is very intriguing. From a historical viewpoint it is interesting to see how people throughout time have tried to communicate with God and how people in every country on the planet find some way to recognize God in various forms. The Theory of Everything mingles with ancient scriptures as Deepak Chopra walks along rivers, releasing prayers onto the water in the form of a candle set on a leaf.
Overall, this is a beautiful journey, although depending on your own religious beliefs, you will find common ground or find yourself resisting various thoughts. I think the overall message is healing and meaningful and this movie will be enjoyed by anyone who watched "The Celestine Prophecy" or "What the Bleep Do We Know." In fact, this is even more accessible and should please a wider audience because it remains very grounded in reality while addressing spiritual questions that have logical answers.
The visuals throughout are especially stunning with my favorite scenes being the Elvis impersonator in the Pink Cadillac. As he drives into the future, the colors behind the car change the scenery, so when you look in the rear view mirror the world is alive with beauty. Perhaps that is a subtle message and includes the idea that when we awaken to our true reality the world seems more beautiful.
Synchronicity is also addressed, and as a student of meaningful coincidence, I was of course amused when I finished watching this DVD, walked into the kitchen and noticed 11:11 on the stove clock. I haven't seen that number for what seems like weeks.
Onward, to The Secret...

Movie Review: Opening of the eyes, and thank God within us.
Summary: 5 Stars
I had a rare opportunity to view "How to know God" at
a special screening prior to it being released, and I must say...I was
Impressed with the wealth of knowledge that Deepak Chopra revealed, as well as the overall special effects, and production value.
Hat's off to Mr. Chopra for such an insightful, and powerful revelation
of this outstanding material. Everyone, regardless of their beliefs should
have the chance to exprience this thought provoking visual, with great music that appeal's to human beings (young, or more mature) it covers
the gamit...no matter what your race, this Insightful presentation reminds
us all that we are all apart of "The one Race here in this Universe" The Human Race, and "GOD is in Control".
5 stars...you better get it while copies last.
Peace, and good will to all mankind.

Movie Review: Awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
"How to Know God" is an enlightened, yet measureable, experience. We can already place it light years ahead of two recent additions to the dialogue on the nature of the universe. Consider, for a moment, the video for What the Bleep Do We Know?, an outright infomercial for JZ Knight's cult that extends the claims of science into the realm outright false testimony about what is known about our bodies and the universe. Throw it away. Replace the few minutes you will spend watching "The Secret" with Deepak Chopra's "How to Know God". "The Secret" claims that your desires will become manifest just because you desire them. As we know from many intellectual and spiritual traditions, desire creates suffering. Instead of expecting wealth in your life "just cuz", why not learn a little about the science of our universe and its parallels to ancient beleif systems? The outcome is startling.Movie Review: An achievement of the highest order
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been following Dr. Chopra's teachings almost since the beginning, and have been aware of the constant deepening and refining of his message. In the past week I watched this DVD and listened to the CDs of his Book of Secrets. Between the two, I've experienced one epiphany after the other. I began my spiritual studies in the early 70s with the Tao of Physics. It feels like a 35-year gestation period to FINALLY "get" the message and translate it into my own life. Dr. Chopra has been my primary midwife. It's all in there...everything you need to know to start living life in peace, harmony, love and bliss. I cannot recommend this too highly. It is a challenging but ultimately totally explicable rendering of the story of life.Movie Review: "How To Know God" dvd review
Summary: 5 Stars
I was drawn to the dvd because of the interest that I've had over the years for the writings of Deepak Chopra. I found the dvd enlightening as expected with a high production value. He covered many ideas that have been introduced in such movies as "What The Bleep...." as well as "The Secret". I was not disapointed. In fact as I've shared it with many of my friends, they have ordered copies of their own. It was informative, yet, not didactic. Fun visually, and entertainling without being simple minded or superficial.
These are complicated and thoughtful ideas. The dvd through Mr. Chopra covered the Universal/Universe and made it palatable as well as papable.
