The Divine Matrix: Bridging Time, Space, Miracles, and Belief

I recently completed reading The Divine Matrix by Gregg Braden and found it very insightful and thought provoking. This book describes in a clear and compelling manner the fundamental structure of the universe and how it operates. The astounding implication regarding the nature of the universe and that it actually responds to us is almost unanimously accepted as fact within the scientific community. This review includes clips from the book interspersed with my own notes, observations and scriptures. Science has discovered that matter at the subatomic level doesn't actually physically exist. The atom along with the electron are just energy fields and are not physical in nature. Furthermore, if we could see the universe in its entirety from a higher vantage point, the objects in our world appear as just a projection from another realm. This other realm is the original and is a deeper level and is more real than the physical. The projection of the universe we observe is constantly changing and responding to our consciousness. Experiments in Quantum Physics show that just focusing our awareness on something for even an instance changes its properties while we are watching it. The act of observation is an act of creation. Although this is difficult to grasp, human beings actually participate in ongoing creation. In the unseen realm, our beliefs and emotions create the blueprint for our relationships, our successes and our failures, that is projected into the seen or physical realm. In a sense science has caught up with what the Bible has said from the beginning. The implications of being in a pliable world of our own making are vast and powerful. The way we see our role in the universe is altered as we realize that we can intentionally change our outcomes. This may sound incredible but is actually verified scientific fact. However, more importantly, it lines up completely with the laws of prayer and faith that are revealed in the scriptures. II Corinthians 4:17,18 says that our light affliction, which is but for a moment, works for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; while we look not at the things that are seen, but at the things that are not seen: for the things that are seen are temporal; but the things that are not seen are eternal. We are told not to look at the seen (physical) things that are temporary and transitory but to "look" at the unseen things that are eternal and not subject to change. Paul is not talking about using our eyes to see. How can you look at something that is unseen, unless you are using some other faculty such as your mind or your imagination? As we intently observe those things in the spiritual realm that have yet to manifest in the physical realm an eternal substance is formed within us. Modern science has discovered that our bodies undergo chemical changes as we experience love, compassion, forgiveness, hate, judgment and jealousy that this force extends beyond our bodies into the quantum world! We know from the scriptures that failing to walk in love effects the outcome of our prayers. Galations is very specific in telling us that faith works by love. Discoveries has shown that we are connected to everything in the universe and are not limited by space or time and that we can use that connection consciously as long as we see ourselves as part of the universe rather than separate from it. We are able to manifest through fervent faith in the physical realm what we imagine in the spiritual realm. After all, the energy field that connects all things also makes up all things. Experiments show that our consciousness has a direct effect on the most basic particles of creation and that we might live in a world actually created by consciousness and one that responds to us. The key to moving our desire from the nonphysical imagination to the physical realm is to feel we already have them. The key is to put our focus on the completed act. As we observe and focus our attention on our desired outcome we are locking in that specific possibility into place. The principles of faith as laid out in the New Testament tell us that in order to receive what it is we are praying for we need to believe that we have already received it (Mark11:24). Physics has determined that there is a nonphysical energy field (hence the divine matrix) that connects everything and everyone in the universe. In a sense it is the "stuff" that carries our prayers beyond our bodies and holds the world together. The Bible tells us that with wisdom God created the universe. The implication is that wisdom was the actual substance or building blocks that God used to create everything. I believe that this force is God Himself and that it manifests itself through love and faith. This force permeates everything in the universe and responds to love and faith. We activate this force as we walk in love. This begins to make sense as we realize that the scriptures tell us that faith is the substance of things hoped for. The implication of these scientifically proven discoveries is staggering and not insignificant. This is not some new age belief but is scriptural truth lining up and harmonizing completely with the reality of the function and nature of our universe as it was designed by God. As we join ourselves with God's purposes, walking in love and in faith, we become co-creators of our own lives. Romans 5:17 says that "those who receive God's abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign (as kings) in life through the one man, Jesus Christ."

It’s hard to explain why I loved this book so much. It resonated with me and it did so by answering questions in a way that left me questioning and curious and inspired. It really helped me to see all that I’ve seen already in my life but have not been able to join all together.

I've read many, many books of a spiritual nature over the last several years and, over & over again I would read that we are all connected somehow and that we impact, or co-create, our reality. But, until reading Braden's "The Divine Matrix", I didn't really understand these ideas. This book is so powerful because Braden doesn't just tell readers how to "intend" a different future, or make the statement that we are all connected, but instead he explains how & why these statements are true based on new scientific evidence. Plus, although the scientific concepts he discusses are quite complex, he has the ability to make them easy to understand for people who, like me, have no physics background. The overall concept is that there is a web of energy where all things begin and all possibilities exist. It's this "web" that connects us to everyone and everything, and through which we bring possibilities into existence (co-creating our reality through imagination, prayer, judgement, expectation, etc...). What a brilliant design! An awesome "bonus" is the "20 Keys to Consciousness" he includes at the end, where he outlines how to use the information he provides to create the life you want to live. You may want to type these up, print them out, and hang them somewhere that you'll see them everyday... In addition to the scientific concepts and research discussed in "The Divine Matrix", Braden also shares some personal stories reflecting his journey of discovering, understanding, and using this information - providing a really nice balance between the science & the personal. Overall, I would HIGHLY reccomend "The Divine Matrix" to anyone interested in how science is beginning to prove the truth of ancient spiritual concepts, as well as those who'd like to co-create a better future. It's insightful, profound, and an "easy read" (when compared to other books of this genre).

This book started off really well. It reminded me quite a bit of "The Holographic Universe" that I read way back when and loved. Sometimes the author's logic seemed flaky, but I really appreciated the reminder (and in some cases update) of physics research, parallels with religious experiences, and general implications in life. About 2/3 through the book though, the style, the theme, the general feeling of the book changed. Now I find myself cringing at his writing, including his own personal reflections. For example, where I am right now in the reading, our geologist cum computer engineer and martial arts student author is talking about mirrors in life - how events in your life and your perceptions of it will of course tell you a lot about your character. To me this is common sense, but I do understand that he is asking us to look a bit deeper. Right now he's talking about a time in his life where he decided to put a lot of trust in a few people in his life, despite that they were not getting along very well at all. When he returned from a business trip and found his banks accounts drained by one of them and himself in the red for checks bouncing that he had paid to contractors to renovate 100+ year old adobe dwellings on his property, he at first got angry, but then decided to do nothing about it. He says that instead, he asked what mirrors he was currently looking at and decided Life was showing him the mirror of his own Judgements. He saw that he judged dishonesty (lying and stealing), and decided the time had come to heal himself. Learning that he had a strong criminal case and could probably press charges and get this person thrown in jail, he instead decided he didn't care enough about this person to have a continuing relationship (his words). This is an example. I of course don't know the details of the situation, but what he's provided in the writing paints a very strange picture of at least decision-making ability, if not character itself. What do I get out of this? Well, there's the immediate mirror - I myself in my eagerness to believe got caught up in the spiritual/life implications of what he was reading, and began to let my criticism go, began to get a bit naive. Oh, and then the judgement mirror - people in the position of those such as Mr. Braden have a lot of responsibility, and I get critical when I believe they are giving such flimsy information and teachings, due to either insufficient experience/research or just simply not thinking clearly. Back to the beginning, however: The first 1/2 to 2/3 of this book is good. It's not that heavy if you're familiar with the topic, and his writing style is very loose. Regardless, I do recommend this. Just read critically.

I have listened to Gregg Braden over the years many time but had never invested in purchasing a book to read... quite honestly I have a ton of books on my Kindle that I 'hope' to get to 'one day' .... but I felt an urgency to read this book and I am so glad that I did. It took me a couple of days of intense reading and re-reading just to make certain that I got what he was saying.... profound is what I can describe it.... the reality that we are all connected ... that the web of the Divine Matrix holds us ... I tend to have a more personalized viewpoint of it all but none-the-less, this book confirmed much of what I already had learned and known and believed. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a paradigm shift.... awakening is necessary for each individual and we are in a time of mass awakening and its glorious! Gregg conveys a whole lot of truth with good examples and personal experiences to back them up. Thanks for increasing my knoweldge, understanding and revelation of quantum physics with this book! I don't think we really can fathom just how 'connected' we truly are .... but I hope its enough that we begin to care for our neighbors as we care for our own selves!!

I found this book fascinating as it looked at the wisdom of the ancient peoples, and scripture verse, and explained how they can mean the same thing and how we can truly create our lives and the world we are experiencing. It goes into scientific quantum physics data to back up some of these philosophies. Many verses from the Nag Hammadi, the hidden scriptures found with the dead sea scrolls. To me this book can teach one why and how to view our world differently and the impact it can have on one's life.

It helps me with my project.

Gregg Braden is always brilliant and his books are just fantastic too. This particular one is breath taking, interesting in a big variety points of views. Gregg bring us cientific proven that we are in fact the architects of our whole universe and we are responsible for the changes we want to see in the world. Let's beginn!

コアなメッセージとしては、人間は悲しいものを見ると細胞が悲しい基準で配列したり、嬉しい時は嬉しいように細胞が配列する、というものをデータでとったもののようですが、読んでいてずっとおーこれは、と興奮しながら読めるものではなく、だれてきます。個人的にはこういった本をわかりやすく解説してくれるメンタリストのDaigoさんやYou tuber のサラタメさんのような方のほうが面白く感じてしまいます。ただコンセプトは面白いので、頑張って読みます。まだ読み終わってません。

As Deepak Chopra wrote: "Gregg Braden is a rare blend of scientist, visionary and scholar with the ability to speak to our minds, while touching the wisdom of our hearts." This ability of the author is, what makes his books timeless wisdoms. The book The Divine Matrix, published in 2006 invites the reader to explore a new world of possibilities, a world "not bound to the law of physics as we know them today". Based on the newest scientific researches many results are discussed, giving us new insight into the universe, our life, and our relationship to the world we live in. Some of the most spectacular research results suggest that: 1. Human DNA has a direct effect on the stuff that our world is made of. 2. Human emotion has a direct effect on the DNA that affects the stuff that our world is made of. 3. The relationship between emotions and DNA transcends the bounds of time and space. The effects are the same regardless of distance. A truly inspiring book, that has the potential to change peoples lives, and thus our world.

A Must Read for anyone who would like to understand this Universe / God. Human brain cannot understand it fully, but at least it will scratch the surface. Regular science is incomplete without spiritual understanding of this Universe. I am a Graduate in Science, therefore it helped me to understand this book better. You may have no background of science, that's okay. If you believe in a higher power that's enough. This book cements the faith. Traditional organized religions have always confused and exploited the masses. Books like this will give the power back to people, where it belongs. As this book helps to understand, there is no need for middle man between You and God. Another book which vibes at the same level is, Dr. Bruce Lipton's The Biology of Belief. I buy lot of stuff through Amazon. I never bothered to review any purchase. This is my very first review. I thought I should use five minutes of my day, just to show my appreciation for this book. The author is a highly trained scientist who has also done first hand research into spiritual traditions worldwide ( not the organized religions whom politicians propagate, sorry for being blunt). My policy is to say it all, or to keep mouth shut. I don't believe in convineint truths that fit the bill. Thank you. Have a great day.

It is great read and specially challenged me as a Christian that the biblical principals have not been practically applied by us.,to create reality in our lives.Awesome 👍
