The title of the Book says it all!
The author does a phenomenal job of articulating ancient spiritual truths in common parlance using science as the funnel through which his ideas emerge. A shift in consciousness and perception (which is our birthright) is the foundation upon which our "reality" and this book, is based. Clear, concise yet not devoid of personality, this book causes one to rethink what Jesus of Nazareth meant when he said "I am with you always." I will read this material over and over again - from different states of mind - and enjoy it more than the time before. I would say that this work is not only important reading, but necessary for anyone who would like to replace dogma and constraint with something much more liberating and joyful.

Life-changing material
Great book! Very explanatory. The Divine Matrix is a field of energy. It is our world and everything in our world. We are part of it too.
The book talks about the process of getting what you truly want and "how to do it". Recaps the 20 important things to remember at the end, after explaining each of the 20 in depth, in its chapter spot. Some of the things explained are that you must put out there the thought of what you want (your consciousness creates), include emotion in the thought, and it is imperative that you see yourself as already being there/having the item/situation. That last one is a deal-breaker. (I've personally found it very helpful, when you are visualizing what you want, to include all of your 5 senses in the visualization process, too--or as many of the 5 senses as possible. See it. Feel it. Smell it, etc. That also enhances the "emotion" factor they speak of in the book.) The book goes into in-depth explanations on quantum theory and scientific-based explanations throughout the book that will amaze you. Good material. If you REALLY want to change your life, and are willing to do some radical belief-changing (at least for most people), and some attitude-changing, this book provides great information and the process.
Assuming you are not already there, you must begin changing from the inside out. You must begin to let go of negative emotions (fear, anger, jealousy), so that you can tune in to the correct vibrations. Hint: This really is a prerequisite. Start anywhere you can in self improvement, but you gotta get rid of negative vibes.) (If you hang on to the negative vibes, they will interfere with your ability to manifest what you truly want. You will, instead, manifest what you do NOT want. An great example is fear. You are afraid the car will break down. You keep thinking "I hope the car does not break down. Guess what. It does because you kept thinking about it. Even though you said "not". The universe does not understand the "not" part. And, while you were thinking "not," that fear put a lot of emotion in the thinking process. When I think back about some of the things that happened in past years after my fears put all that energy into them--coincidence? Nah! Way too many times. The more emotion, the quicker they come to pass. Be careful where you put your thoughts. Remember the old saying "Be careful what you wish for") Anyway, read the book. You won't go wrong. This is life-changing material.
There is a lot of similar stuff out there right now, covering this very hot topic, and for good reason. There are more opportunities today than ever before to raise your awareness. People are beginning to put their beliefs and experiences into print and are also able to provide some scientific evidence of things previously thought to be lies/B.S./a joke/impossible, etc.
Different books out there talk about "mirroring," how people will "mirror" your behaviors/fears/uncertainties, etc. back to you, as a lesson for you to see. Toward the end of the book, it includes a more in-depth explanation about mirroring, explaining 5 types of mirroring. "Reflections of the Moment" is the normal mirroring, reflecting back what you think. But the second type of mirroring is "Reflections of what we judge in the moment". This was the first time I read of mirroring the way we judge and it was a big "aha" moment for me. I believed I was pretty free of judging others, but there were 2 people who I still had issues with. I could not figure out why. I was not EVER like they acted. Then I realized, I was unconsciously still "judging" their behaviors. That lesson, alone, was worth the price of this book for me! Now I can resolve these issues and be "free" of these feelings once and for all.
I also highly recommend motivational materials by Dr. Wayne Dyer. I also recommend getting away from the television (too much negativity) and finding yourself some really peaceful music, whatever artist(s) resonates best with you. If you're into Angels, check out Doreen Virtue. If you are looking for communicating with Spirit Guides or Animals, or Aura Reading, or interpreting messages from nature and/or animals, try Ted Andrews. Ted also has a Kaballah book which I have only skimmed through so far, but he puts out excellent books which are very informative.
Peace and love to you in your quest for knowledge.

plenty of substance for skeptics
The Divine Matrix is a very strongly written book in the first two thirds or so. The final third seems to suffer a bit from its abbreviation of arguments Braden has apparently made in his earlier works. Nonetheless, I think it merits 5 stars for what it accomplishes, and I have ordered more Braden material to see if his total vision holds up as strongly as it seems to promise it can. The one point in his discussions with which I have difficulty, only briefly alluded to here in the Divine Matrix and not well explained, connects ancient religious texts and the human genome. I am really not sure I can go there, but otherwise, the physics and metaphysics jibe well with my own decades of exploration and experiences with academic research, qi gong practice, Buddhist mediation and other esoteric pursuits. My own academic work also describes a deep web of interconnectivity, and this ancient wisdom tradition is indeed, as Braden describes it, reflected in many scientific and metaphysical considerations of "reality". Braden explains it very well however, and where I found the film "What The Bleep" to be sadly fuzzy and all over the map in its imprecision, Braden has undertaken a course correction and done a fine job doing so. Readers will have plenty to chew on, without having to buy everything hook, line and sinker.

Clear Presentation on the Invisible Energy that Connects Us All
This is a very informative book. Don't let the simplicity and clarity of the presentation fool you - it goes farther than most presentations in explaining, in practical terms, the "miraculous energy" that connects us all. More scientific references (Plank, Einstein, academic/ government scientists) than spiritual references (Bible, metaphysical writers) make this less a "leap of faith" and more a well-reasoned presentation of how things really work, including miraculus things. It you are into "The Secret", "What the Bleep", the impact of Quantum Mechanics, or "How did Jesus do that?", this book provides a workable perspective on it all.

Science Discoveries, Condenced Version
I found the book very interesting and informative for all. The Author composed scientific facts with the possibilities of others to come. He has a way of writing that simpifies the facts, so they can be easily understood. It opens the mind to so many other possibilities. This book should be a requirement to read for everyone. If people did not already know this information or feel there was something more to the All of existence. They have choosen to ignore the All and live in a small place. They are missing so much in life. From the vibrations of the rocks to the existence of never ending space, that is the All, meaning connectivity of everything. Seen or unseen. Everything one should all ready know and feel. To have true Wisdom is to be open to all possibilities, even a Theory that seems unbelievable. Believe till proven wrong. Believe in the possibity. All is possible if you believe.

Where's the Proof?
Saying something exists, and demonstrating it, are light years apart, and there was no Divine Inspiration in this tome to render the Light. I get the idea that we are all connected by the Divine, and therefore will live foreover, etc. etc...But its really all just speculation, unprovable, and not that different from the religious dogma underlying Christianity or Islam. Why some people are impressed, and buy this book (I borrowed it from the local library) is what fuels all religious belief - the need, as Ernest Becker (Denial of Death, 1973) to repress the consciousness of death.

I Love Gregg Braden!!!.......
.....and this is his best book yet!
I have been to his lecture in King of Prussia and learned about the DNA experiments he outlines in this new book. Now I can read about the experiments again and again, savoring each reading and learning more each time as well.
Gregg has exceptional insights regrading the cutting edge scientific discoveries of our times. He writes in a clear, concise manner about these new theories and discoveries, and makes them very easy to digest.
I have read most of his work, but this latest book is a great culmination of previous work AND a much needed spiritual guidebook for the future!
A fine gossamer that holds it all together!
Great piece of work, Gregg! A groundbreaker, for sure!
Congratulations and kudos!!!

The Truth Will Set You Free
Braden has put into print what has been taught at the Ramtha School of
Enlightenment for twenty years plus. At last the truth is hitting the public from well-known authors. The truth does indeed set one free. I highly recommend this book.

Good read, but not Devine ....
This book was a paradox for me.
I was expecting "Divine" inspiration and found it nowhere in the text. I have been an amateur student of Newtonian physics, Einstein's relativity, quantum/string/ and super string theories since the 50's and I have grown along with all of those theories as the information was made available: and I have always found it a fascinating world of ideas. I am also a very long time believing Christian. I have always felt that if we could get a glimpse as to how God manipulates the universe (like only God can) then we could understand how He created pillars of fire, parting of seas, etc which would help me in teaching. I wasn't looking for how to do it, just looking for modern science to show that with the right knowledge, it could be done. This book addresses that and provides some very good information and insight as to "how" the manipulation of the quantum foam through prayer, and meditation can create miracles. From that point of view this is an awesome work.
I was a little disappointed however that Gregg Braden comes from the new age idea that we are god and if we do this and we do that, then we can save the world.
The book is an interesting read, but don't expect to find it written from a Divine point of view.

Greg Braden is rapidly becoming one of my favorites
This book will make you contemplate. What more can an author hope for. I got this with a simple meditation cd and as soon as I was a few pages in, I knew Greg Braden had written another best seller. The cd too is a perfect tool, although I suggest NOT listening to parts of it while on a long commute! This cd is best listened to on a headset, while in a safe and comfortable space. It too will cause the listener to contemplate. I don't want to give it all away, so I will leave this vague rave, but do yourself a favor and BUY the book, and get the meditation cd too. You will REALLY be happy you did. Greg Braden is a GREAT current day author and philosopher.
