The Divine Matrix by Greg Braden
A review by Colin Whitby
As Greg states in his introduction, if you’ve always sought to answer the questions "are we really connected, and if so, how deep does that connection go?" and "How much power do we really have to change our world?" then you’ll like this book.
With the Divine Matrix Greg digs into some of the more recent scientific discoveries and uncovers how even our most eloquent scientists have been struggling to describe the quantum theory. He quotes Michio Kaku, the co-author of the unifying theory of superstrings, when he said "It is often stated that of all the theories proposed this century, the silliest is the quantum theory. Some say that the only thing that the quantum theory has going for it is, in fact, that it is unquestionably correct".
So what is missing for the theory to make sense, well Greg believes it is us. We are the precise factor that’s missing in the existing theories, specifically it is our ability to purposefully create the conditions of consciousness (thoughts, feelings, emotions, and beliefs) that lock one possibility of our choosing into the reality of our lives.
Following his discussions regarding the scientific theory Greg goes on to give some insights into how the Universe is talking to us through the Divine Matrix and how our beliefs and thoughts create our reality. I particularly liked Greg’s comparison to a computer, where when we change the commands (our feelings, emotion, prayer and beliefs) we change the program that runs reality.
There are some similarities here to the way Suzanna Kennedy describes her Divine Human Upgrade, and going back a few years, how Lynne McTaggart described the same force in her book The Field. Another book in a similar vein is The Biology of Belief by Bruce Lipton.
For me I find it reassuring that science is beginning to link our energetic selves to the world rather than keep trying to prove we are not connected, it’s a shame they have taken so long, after all the quantum theory goes back as far as 1900.
This is a great book for those people like myself who like to see links and proofs appearing in our scientific world that we are spiritual and energetic beings, and we do have ‘something’ to do with creating our reality. As Greg says ‘For some of you, what you are about to read is a new and very different way of thinking about how things work in life. For others, it’s a comforting synthesis of what you already know, or at least suspect to be true.
For over 20 years, Gregg Braden has searched high mountain villages, remote monasteries and forgotten texts to uncover their timeless secrets. Combining his discoveries with the best science of today, his original research crosses the traditional boundaries of science, history, and religion offering fresh insights into ancient mysteries. In doing so he has redefined our relationship to our inner and outer worlds, while sharing his life-affirming message of hope and possibility.
