A coded message has been found within the molecules of life; deep within the DNA in each cell of our bodies. Through a remarkable discovery linking Biblical alphabets to our genetic code, the language of life may now be read as the ancient letters of a timeless message. In The God Code, Gregg Braden shares the life-changing discovery of his extensive study of the most sacred and honoured traditions of humankind.
Author and computer systems designer Gregg Braden wrapped this entire book around the premise that God's name is literally encoded into every human body. According to Braden's logic, the basic elements of DNA--hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen and carbon--directly translate into specific letters of the Hebrew alphabets (YHVA), which then translate into the original name of God. Braden's hope is that knowing that God's signature is carried within each cell of the estimated six billion humans on earth will give humankind the evidence we need to overcome our differences and renew our faith:

Beyond Christian, Jew, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Shinto, Native, Aboriginal, white, black, red, or yellow; man, woman, or child, the message reminds us that we are human. As humans, we share the same ancestors and exist as the children of the same Creator. In the moments that we doubt this one immutable truth, we need look no further than the cells of our body to be reminded. This is the power of the message within our cells.

One could argue that this melding of spirituality and science may be the next frontier in human evolution. Nonetheless, skeptics could also argue that this DNA=YHVA equation is an eerie coincidence, instead of a quantum breakthrough--like folding a $20 bill in a certain shape and seeing the twin towers in flames (Braden dispels such skepticism by asserting that the "odds that this relationship has occurred by chance are approximately 1 in 200,000"). This is neither a consistent or easy read. Some passages are filled with dense, analytical stretches of cross referencing ancient texts with modern science. Others are more prosaic as Braden explains his beautifully optimistic hope for peace on Earth. --Gail Hudson

Summary: Great cd accompanies this book!!!!
Comment: If you love the God Code, you'll love the audio cd entitled: The Divine Name, sounds of the God Code! It was made by Gregg Braden and Jonathan Goldman. Tracks are: The Awakening 4:15 and, Harmonic Revelations 59:55. Use as a meditation cd and experience healing through hearing the Divine Name. Look for used/new sellers on Amazon to find the cd. Remember to look in collectable books under the God Code book title; some sellers sell the book and cd as a combo!

Summary: SCIENCE MEETS GOD
Comment: The part of this work that was most interesting to me started in the middle:

"From ...the phenomenon of 'twinned photons' mirroring one another's behavior even when separated by distances of many miles... the foundation of our worldview was changing in a dramatic way...

"Scientists...[acknowledged] the existence of a previously unknown form of energy... described as a force that is everywhere all of the time... and exhibits a form of intelligence that responds to our deepest emotions... [S]uch descriptions sound strikingly similar to ancient references to the presence of God."

Greg may not like to hear this but this book redirected my reading from from books written by New Agers trying to reinvent spirituality (include me in that group) to centuries-old texts in the Catholic Church written by people who understood these concepts before science started supporting them.

Greg has built the bridge between science and matters of faith and I expect others will use this work as a foundation to expand the connection.
My only negative is that the book could have been half the length with good editing.

Summary: Disappointing, but what was I to expect
Comment: I came upon this book by accident and given some of the great reviews and the claim by the author to have worked for many years as an engineer, I expected this would be a logically sound book. I was very disappointed to learn that not only was the book mostly(about 95%) a compilation of works from other authors and just common knowledge, but to make the leap from what the author wants to believe and what he presents to be so undeniable is just absurd. There is no proof, nor did I expect any, but I did expect a logical progression to making logically sound points, which were missing. Assumptions were made left and right to come to a conclusion that the author wanted to believe in more than anything. Very disappointed with this book, would not suggest this book to anyone, and unfortunately I've bought two books by this author before being acquainted with his work, so I'll just have read The Divine Matrix and provide my review independent of The God Code.

Summary: God Code
Comment: Thought provoking. Makes you wonder about all that we don't know about our history and about our prehistory.
