In this insightful dialogue between Joan Borysenko, Ph.D., and Deepak Chopra, M.D., Borysenko reveals the seven pathways to God that are characteristic of the modern mystic: Path 1: Involves the root chakra, which grounds us, and has to do with our relationship to the earth as a living being
Path 2: The inner union of male and female and what has to happen in order for energy to be generated and for life to continue
Path 3: The path three mystic cultivates a type of meditation where humility is extremely important
Path 4: The way of the heart, exemplified by Mother Teresa -- to give and receive love
Path 5: Involves discipline, ethics, and will -- St. Paul is a good example
Path 6: Relates to the third eye, the place of very serious inquiry, insight, and contemplation
Path 7: The crown chakra is in play here -- where people in the midst of the worst dark night of the soul remind us of the infallible workings of grace
