<ul><li>You don't need to be on the brink of death to have an experience that transcends the physical bounds of your body.</li><li>There's simply no doubt that our consciousness isn't confined to our bodies; it exists beyond physical limits because consciousness itself is limitless and infinite.</li><li>We reach the infinite possibilities of metareality, therefore, by activating the infinite potential of our consciousness.</li></ul>

Consciousness exists beyond the limits of the physical body

<ul><li>At a fundamental level, we apprehend reality through our senses, filtering the world through our abilities to see, hear, smell, feel, and taste.</li><li>Everything our senses apprehend is alchemized by our minds into information and experiences we can understand.</li></ul>

Reality is a simulation

<ul><li>Our mind-made reality isn't just made up of all the data that gets filtered by our senses. It's also constructed from all the ideas and impressions that we filter through a complex matrix of beliefs.</li><li>This matrix helps us to organize and understand the world we live in, and shapes our understanding of the past, present, and future.</li></ul>

We exist in a matrix of human-made mental models

<ul><li>Anyone can tune into the universe’s infinite possibilities.</li><li>The Sudden Genius Principle proves it. Sudden genius can occur when the patterns and intricacies of the universe spontaneously open up to someone.</li><li>Some of us are born savants with exceptional mental abilities; others acquire savant abilities.</li></ul>

We all have the potential to become metahuman

<ul><li>Metareality is pure awareness beyond the bounds and limitations of everyday perception.</li><li>It is reality without limits or constraints—a wellspring of infinite possibilities.</li><li>To access it, strip your consciousness of all mind-made models that inhibit it, and you are left with pure awareness—awareness produces all reality, and when reality is freed from illusion and artifice, only awareness remains.</li></ul>

Beyond our perceived reality, there is pure metareality

<ul><li>At its source, the true self is infinite, immaterial, and ever-changing.</li><li>Yet, as we exist in the world, we accrue fixed characteristics that limit our potential. As a result, we deny our true, infinite potential. Reverting these processes of reification is necessary.</li></ul>

Learn to strip away mental conditioning, and you will meet your true self

<ul><li>The key message in these ideas are that our day-to-day reality is inauthentic, compromised by limiting mental and social frameworks that humans have imposed upon it.</li><li>Our true reality is metareality, which exists outside of all of the many interpretations that we human beings add to it.</li><li>By shedding the constrictions of mind-made reality and activating the infinite potential of our own consciousness, we are able to access our own infinite, metahuman potential.</li></ul>

Final summary

<ul><li>The first step on your journey is to ground your body and mind in the present, letting constructs of the past and future fall away. To achieve this, practicing mindfulness.</li><li>Tune into your perceived reality at the very source of perception: the five senses.</li><li>Relax into the present moment, and open yourself up to the flow of things happening around you.</li><li>Observe these experiences, and as you relax into them, allow your observations to grow deeper and richer</li></ul>

The journey to metareality begins with cultivating the mind-body connection

<ul><li>The source of creativity lies in metareality, which is accessible to all of us.</li><li>Profound creativity occurs when an individual perceives that which lies beyond the conventions of everyday reality.</li><li>It is tempting to believe that creativity exists on two planes—the mental and the physical—but they are all one.</li><li>A painting isn't separate from the desire to paint or the understanding of how to paint, it's all aspects of the same creative intelligence.</li></ul>

Activate your creative potential through consciousness

What if you could move beyond your current reality to experience a higher form of awareness, one that brought you into contact with your own infinite potential as a creative, emotional, intelligent being? The fact is, you can. There is something more to life, and it's accessible to each of us if we can learn to tap into it.

The New York Times-bestselling author unlocks the secrets to moving beyond one's present limitations to access infinite possibilities by becoming metahuman, liberating oneself from old conditioning and the mental constructs that underlie anxiety and ego-driven demands.

Is it possible to venture beyond daily living and experience heightened states of awareness? Deepak Chopra says that higher consciousness is available here and now. “Metahuman helps us harvest peak experiences so we can see our truth and mold the universe’s chaos into a form that brings light to the world.”—Dr. Mehmet Oz, attending physician, New York–Presbyterian, Columbia University  New York Times bestselling author Deepak Chopra unlocks the secrets to moving beyond our present limitations to access a field of infinite possibilities. How does one do this? By becoming metahuman. To be metahuman, however, isn’t science fiction and is certainly not about being a superhero. To be metahuman means to move past the limitation constructed by the mind and enter a new state of awareness where we have deliberate and concrete access to peak experiences that can transform people’s lives from the inside out. Humans do this naturally—to a point. For centuries the great artists, scientists, writers, and many so-called ordinary people have gone beyond the everyday physical world. But if we could channel these often bewildering experiences, what would happen? Chopra argues we would wake up to experiences that would blow open your body, mind, and soul. Metahuman invites the reader to walk the path here and now. Waking up, we learn, isn’t just about mindfulness or meditation. Waking up, to become metahuman, is to expand our consciousness in all that we think, say, and do.  By going beyond, we liberate ourselves from old conditioning and all the mental constructs that underlie anxiety, tension, and ego-driven demands. Waking up allows life to make sense as never before. To make this as practical as possible, Chopra ends the book with a 31-day guide to becoming metahuman. Once you wake up, he writes, life becomes transformed, because pure consciousness—which is the field of all possibilities—dawns in your life. Only then does your infinite potential become your personal reality.
