Book Description
Between 1993 and 2000, a series of groundbreaking experiments revealed dramatic evidence of a web of energy that connects everything in our lives and our world—the Divine Matrix. From the healing of our bodies, to the success of our careers, relationships, and the peace between nations, this new evidence demonstrates that we each hold the power to speak directly to the force that links all of creation. What would it mean to discover that the power to create joy, to heal suffering, and bring peace to nations lives inside of you? How differently would you live if you knew how to use this power each day of your life? Join Gregg Braden on this extraordinary journey bridging science, spirituality and miracles through the language of The Divine Matrix.

Such fools these mortals be........2007-10-03
If there was a "Divine Matrix" allowing everyone to wish what they deeply desired into existence do you think a just and sane "Divinity" would let a bunch of somewhat evolved apes loose with such an ability? Thank God I do not have such power because I know in all honesty that I am not evolved enough and wise enough to use it well. But those who want something for nothing, those who are still infants at heart wishing their mere wish and every need to magically be granted by Parent in the Sky or latest pseudo-scientific mumbo-jumbo hash of how reality is will flock to buy this latest mystical puff-piece. When it doesn't work for them they will blame themselves or look for the next similar work that claims they can have everything without any real effort beyond believing and tuning themselves. Yes, inner attitude makes tremendous difference. But it must be matched with well planned action and lots of it to accomplish anything in this world.
You Have the Power!.......2007-10-02
"The Divine Matrix" by Gregg Bradden reveals insights into scientifically verifiable universal energy that connects and affects all aspects of our lives.
The central message in this book is that each person has the power to speak to this universal energy/force and thereby create a more peaceful and joyful life for oneself and ultimately transform the planet.
An inspirational read, especially with the central message that our true power for life transformation comes from within!

Does Verify Quantum Science.......2007-09-03
"The Divine Matrix: Bridging Time, Space, Miracles and Belief" by Gregg Braden, is firstly about discovering the Divine Matrix and revealing the mystery that connects all life. Secondly, the book goes on to describe how the Divine Matrix works, and brings insight into bridging between imagination and reality. Finally The Divine Matrix explains how to successfully work with healing in Quantum Awareness, which includes insight and messages from the Divine Matrix.
Also, the Divine Matrix is scientifically verifiable in terms of the latest findings in Quantum Science...and interestingly the hologram is a perfect analogy to ideas presented in this book.
Most highly recommended.
If you like Divine Matrix then you'll be fascinated with a recent New Age novel I've discovered that is also about connectedness, spirituality, and life transformation:
Nexus: A Neo Novel
Best "Consciousness Research" book I've Read to Date.......2007-08-05
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).
Consciousness Tools.......2007-07-31
Thank you Gregg for helping wake people to the matrix of energy we all share.
There is no escaping that "all is one". Anyone interested in books that search quantum physics/science for an explanation of the Divine, Spirit, unifying energy of One will enjoy this book. Caryn Colgan, Ancient Pact
Book Description
Why is it that our current twenty-first century a.d. is so similar to the twenty-first century
B.C.? At a time when religious fanaticism and a clash of civilizations raise the specter of a nuclear Armageddon, many ask: Is history destined to repeat itself? What does the future hold? Will biblical prophecies come true, and if so, when?
Ever since Zecharia Sitchin, in his first trailblazing book The 12th Planet, brought to life the Sumerian civilization and its record of the Annunaki—the extraterrestrials who had come to Earth from their planet Nibiru, fashioned mankind, and gave us civilization and religion—questions have abounded. Are the ancient gods still here, or did they leave? Will they return? What will happen then? Will there be another Deluge or Apocalypse when Nibiru meets Earth? What about “Planet X” and the Mayan 2012? What about Jesus?
In The End of Days, a masterwork that required thirty years of additional research, Sitchin dares to give the answers by presenting compelling new evidence that the Past is the Future—that mankind and its planet Earth are subject to a predetermined cyclical Celestial Time.
Tracing historical events from the messianic fervor and use of nuclear weapons in the twenty-first century
B.C., Sitchin resolves ancient enigmas like the Nazca Lines or the origin and significance of the Cross, the Fishes, and the Chalice, places in context the events of the Last Supper and hidden clues like those in Da Vinci's painting, explains the space-related reasons for the everlasting centrality of Jerusalem, and—following in the footsteps of Sir Isaac Newton—deciphers the Time Code in the books of Daniel and Revelation and of the Day of the Lord and the End of Days prophecies.
In this remarkable and relevant conclusion to his bestselling The Earth Chronicles series, Sitchin shatters perceptions and uses history to reveal what is to come at The End of Days.

Awesome FICTIONAL work........2007-09-26
What a great story! From a purely fictional point of view that is. But please don't take Mr. Sitchin seriously. Yes, he's done a lot of work and he's very passionate and I believe HE believes all that's in his books. But if you want facts, follow the work of true scholars.
There are plenty of reviews on this book and even more opinions I'm sure.
What's more important than a review is a call to reason. People - please... Just because you want or need to believe something is true doesn't mean that it is. When dealing with history and languages, I would highly recommend reviewing the work of true and accomplished scholars. Do this and you will likely get complete (as much as is possible) and the most accurate picture of the past as one can.
His credentials in no way qualify him to make such claims. If nothing else, look at his credentials and ask yourself how is this man qualified to make such claims?
I drive a fancy sports car and can give you the exact specs on the engine and body, from top to bottom. I could WOW the best of them with all the tech talk about the engine, transmission, suspension, etc. I could even carry on a detailed conversation with the mechanic if I had to. But I can tell you with certainty that if I was given a shop full of tools all to myself I couldn't fix my fancy sports car if it broke.
If you take your car into the shop be worked on, do you want the guy who talks like he knows what he's doing working on your car or do you want the guy with all the certificates on the wall that's PROVEN he knows what he's doing working on your car?
This is the case with Mr. Sitchin and his books. He talks a good line but has no credentials to prove he's anything more than just a fanciful talker.
Mr. Sitchin graduated from the University of London, majoring in economic history and he was a journalist and editor in Israel. How does this make him an expert in ancient Hebrew and the old Testament? In Sumerian culture? IMHO, this is a classic case of someone learning enough about an ancient language "to be dangerous". He absolutely sounds like he knows what he's talking about and sadly that fools a whole lot of people.
Like many, I was very taken initially with his ideas. But too much didn't add up. After months of research I was quite disappointed to realize that the basis of at least some of his theories (the ones I researched anyway) were too full of holes to be true.
There is an upside though - this a GREAT fictional story!
Real seekers of truth will check multiple sources and validate claims from many different sources. Do this and in time you will find the truth.
If you are looking to be entertained, look no further.
A LITTLE BIT CONFUSING..........2007-09-13
The book somewhat confused me because of some claims. The author also states that the reader should read his other books to understand this book clearly. Nevertheless, I still admire Zecharia Sitchin for all his efforts.
A Keeper.......2007-09-06
Buying a book is one thng haveing it be worth the storage space another. This is worth the storage space.
Creative .......2007-08-27
Sitchin can spin a tale of fiction that is inspired to say the least. He is universally hated in the astronomical, archaeological, and historical communities for his attempt to pass pseudo science off as fact. If fact is not what you are after, then buy this book and invest in a tinfoil hat.
A little disappointing ****** SPOILER ALERT *******.......2007-08-21
I've read all of Sitchin's books and was always pleased at the conclusion of each one. They were like adventure quests of hidden knowledge with the worst case scenario being a nice scifi story (and what a story!). This one left me wanting. I believe he just wanted to put his two cents in about 2012 even though he doesn't think it will be a date that anything significant happens. I think he's got a better theory floating around in his head but didn't want to share it for whatever reason. The beginning of the book is a bit boring as he has to tell the back story. The middle is more interesting with more detail about the tales of the annunaki and their petty power struggles. The end was a bitter disappointment to me. His theory on the davinci last supper painting, in which he thinks the space between jesus and mary/john is where elijah should be and the missing cup being the grail that elijah took, is just lacking. To me the alternate grail theories make more sense and have better documentation. Obviously this book is a must read if you've read the rest of the series as how can one not read the supposed last one but it doesn't hold up to his prior standard. When does Sitchin think the annunaki will return? Sometime in the age of pisces .... and that only leaves up to anywhere from 100 years from now to about 800 years from now depending on if you are going by the math or by sight.

Book Description
The highly anticipated follow-up to the 2,000,000 copy bestselling inspirational book, The Power of Now
With his bestselling spiritual guide The Power of Now, Eckhart Tolle inspired millions of readers to discover the freedom and joy of a life lived “in the now.” In A New Earth, Tolle expands on these powerful ideas to show how transcending our ego-based state of consciousness is not only essential to personal happiness, but also the key to ending conflict and suffering throughout the world. Tolle describes how our attachment to the ego creates the dysfunction that leads to anger, jealousy, and unhappiness, and shows readers how to awaken to a new state of consciousness and follow the path to a truly fulfilling existence.
The Power of Now was a question-and-answer handbook. A New Earth has been written as a traditional narrative, offering anecdotes and philosophies in a way that is accessible to all. Illuminating, enlightening, and uplifting, A New Earth is a profoundly spiritual manifesto for a better way of life—and for building a better world.
Customer Reviews:
Nihilistic mystic who takes serious mental labor to waste this earthly life.......2007-09-30
Both this book and his previous "Power of Now" discuss the same mystical and emotional experience one may sooner or later encounter during his search for life's meaning or purpose. There's almost no distinction of this book's essential "teaching" from those you read about in ancient Lao-Tze, Zhuang-Tze, Zen Buddists, and New Age writers. They all exalt "Oneness", universal connections, or "Nothingness". They all "see" through the illusory nature of human perceptions, consciousness, or this reality. And they all offer the promise of another or a deeper "reality" which will transform our sufferings, problems, and conditions of our earth.
My personal experience taught me that it's impossible to consistently practice, not mention to achieve, what this book or all mystics preach, because the essence of all kinds of mystical teachings is to abandon one's identity and consciousness. If becoming a non-conscious being is your goal, this book is for you, but I don't think anyone can achieve that goal or "super-consciousness" and stay there without taking serious effort of deluding himself. To the serious students of mysticism, they may gladly offer many years of life just for another taste of the ecstatic spring. What then?
However, I do agree with one point of the book that "Happiness can be achieved only within, not without."
A New Earth: Awakening to your life's purpose.......2007-09-16
Excellent presentation. Powerful knowledge. Mental toolkit for living life grounded in the now, where it happens. It is good.
Another Eckhart Jewel.......2007-08-28
I have read Tolle's "Power of Now" multiple times and was anxious to go further with him on his journey to bring peace to the human condition. While I did not enjoy this book quite as much as PON, this is a great read because it continues to add color to the direction Tolle and others are treading. This is great material but it suffers from a fundamental problem: The message cannot be completely communicated with words! These are ideas that transcend what can be written directly. This leaves the communicators with an obvious challenge. Tolle continues to meet this challenge eloquently in "New Earth" by pointing us in the general direction of ancient yet fundamental truths about our existence. My greatest hope is that enough of us will lock on to the direction these folks are pointing in so that we can help with the heavy lifting by simply living as the truly "free beings" as we are meant to be.
Inspiring.......2007-08-24
It is one of the greatest books I have ever read!
Eckhart Tolle has been very important in helping me determine the path to follow on my journey.
If you are looking for your inner and outer purpose, this is a must read!
I feel enlightened.......2007-08-18
This book is about how we can attain enlightenment.
According to the author, not everyone is ready to be enlightened, but many are, and with each person who awakens, the momentum in the collective consciousness grows, and it becomes easier for others. An enlightened being is consciousness that has become conscious of itself (p. 182).
There are some very interesting concepts in this book, and I had to reread it twice to really appreciate them. Here are some of the concepts:
Words reduce the reality to something the human mind can grasp. Language consists of five basic sounds produced by the vocal cords. They are the vowels a, e, i, o, u. The other sounds are consonants produced by air pressure: s, f, g, and so forth. Do you believe some combination of such basic sounds could ever explain who you are, or the ultimate purpose of the universe, or even what a tree or stone is in its depth?
The way in which you speak to the chairman of the company may be different in subtle ways to how you speak to the janitor. How you speak to a child may be different to how you speak to an adult. Why is that? You are playing roles. You are not yourself, neither with the chairman nor with the janitor or the child. When you walk into a store, a restaurant, the bank, the post office, you may find yourself slipping into pre-established social roles. So you are not relating with that person at all, but who you think you are is relating to who you think the other person is and vice versa. It is therefore not surprising there is so much conflict in relationships. There is no true relationship (p. 94).
Kasan, a Zen teacher and monk, was to officiate at a funeral of a famous nobleman. As he stood there waiting for the governor of the province and other lords and ladies to arrive, he noticed that the palms of his hands were sweaty. The next day he called his disciples together and confessed he was not yet ready to be a true teacher. He explained to them that he still lacked the sameness of bearing before all human beings, whether beggar or king. He was still unable to look through social roles and conceptual identities and see the sameness of being in every human. He then left and became the pupil of another master. He returned to his former disciples eight years later, enlightened (p. 94-95).
"If you think you are so enlightened," Ram Dass said, "go and spend a week with your parents." The relationship with your parents is the primordial relationship that sets the tone for all subsequent relationships. The more shared past there is in a relationship, the more present you need to be; otherwise, you will be forced to relive the past again and again (p. 100-101).
By making peace with the present moment you become at peace. The present moment is the field on which the game of life happens. It cannot happen anywhere else. Once you have made peace with the present moment, you become one with life. Being one with life is being one with Now. You then realize that you don't live your life, but life lives you. Life is the dancer, and you are the dance (p. 115).
If there is such a thing as "my life," it follows that I and life are two separate things. If I and life are two, if I am separate from life, then I am separate from all things, all beings, all people. But how could I be separate from life? What "I" could there be apart from life, apart from Being? It is utterly impossible. So there is no such thing as "my life," and I don't have a life. I am life. I and life are one. So how could I lose my life? How can I lose something that I don't have in the first place? How can I lose something that I Am? It is impossible. We are therefore eternal (p. 127-128).
The inability and unwillingness of the human mind to let go of the past is illustrated in the story of two Zen monks, Tanzan and Ekido, who were walking along a country road that had become extremely muddy after heavy rains. Near a village, they came upon a young woman who was trying to cross the road, but the mud was so deep it would have ruined the silk kimono she was wearing. Tanzan at once picked her up and carried her to the other side. The monks walked on in silence. Five hours later, as they were approaching the lodging temple, Ekido couldn't restrain himself any longer. "Why did you carry that girl across the road?" he asked. "We monks are not supposed to do things like that." "I put the girl down hours ago," said Tanzan. "Are you still carrying her?" Now imagine what life would be like for someone who lived like Ekido all the time, unwilling to let go internally of situations. What a heavy burden of past he would carry around with him in his mind (p. 139).
It may be shocking when you realize for the first time that there is something within you that periodically seeks emotional negativity, seeks unhappiness. Once the unhappiness has taken you over, not only do you not want an end to it, but you want to make others just as miserable as you are in order to feed on their negative emotional reactions (p. 145).
Women are more in touch with their inner body and have greater openness and sensitivity toward other life-forms, and are more attuned to the natural world. If the balance between male and female energies had not been destroyed on our planet, we would not have declared war on nature, and we would not be so completely alienated from our Being. During a three-hundred-year period between three and five million women were tortured and killed by the "Holy Inquisition," initiated by the Roman Catholic Church to suppress heresy. The sacred feminine was declared demonic. Other cultures and religions, such as Judaism, Islam, and even Buddhism, also suppressed the female dimension, although in a less violent way. Women's status was reduced to being child bearers and men's property. Males who deny the feminine even within themselves are now ruining the world (p. 155-156).
Thinking isolates a situation or event and calls it good or bad, as if it had a separate existence. Through excessive reliance on thinking, reality becomes fragmented. This fragmentation is an illusion, but it seems very real when you are trapped in it. And yet the universe is an indivisible whole in which all things are interconnected, in which nothing exists in isolation. This is illustrated in the story of a wise man who won an expensive car in a lottery. His family and friends were very happy for him and came to celebrate. They said, ''You are so lucky." The man smiled and said, "Maybe." For a few weeks he enjoyed driving the car. Then one day a drunken driver crashed into his new car at an Intersection and he ended up in the hospital, with multiple injuries. His family and friends came to see him and said, "That was really unfortunate." Again the man smiled and said, "Maybe." While he was still in the hospital, there was a Iandslide and his house fell into the sea. Again his friends came the next day and said, "Weren't you lucky to have been here in hospital." Again he said, "Maybe."The wise man's "maybe" signifies a refusal to judge anything that happens. Instead of judging what is, he accepts it and so enters into conscious alignment with the higher order. He knows that it is impossible for the mind to understand what place or purpose a seemingly random event has in the tapestry of the whole. But there are no random events, nor are there events or things that exist by and for themselves, in isolation. The atoms that make up your body were once forged inside stars, and the causes of even the smallest event are virtually infinite and connected with the whole in incomprehensible ways. If you wanted to trace back the cause of any event, you would have to go back all the way to the beginning of creation. The cosmos is not chaotic. The very word cosmos means order (p. 196-198).
J. Krishnamurti, the great Indian spiritual teacher said at one of his talks in the later part of his life, "Do you want to know my secret?" Everyone became very alert. Many people in the audience had been coming to listen to him for twenty or thirty years and still failed to grasp the essence of his teaching. Finally, after all these years, the master would give them the key to understanding. "This is my secret," he said. "I don't mind what happens." This implies that internally I am in alignment with what happens. To be in alignment with what `is' means to be in a relationship of inner nonresistance with what happens (p. 198-199).
The Zen Master Hakuin lived in a town in Japan. He was held in high regard and many people came to him for spiritual teaching. One day the teenage daughter of his next-door neighbor became pregnant. When being questioned by her angry parents as to the identity of the father, she finally told them that he was Hakuin. In great anger the parents rushed over to Hakuin and told him with much anger that their daughter had confessed that he was the father. All he replied was, "Is that so?" News of the scandal spread. The Master lost his reputation. This did not trouble him. Nobody came to see him anymore. He remained unmoved. When the child was born, the parents brought the baby to Hakuin. "You are the father, so you look after him." The Master took loving care of the child. A year later, the mother remorsefully confessed to her parents that the real father of the child was the young man who worked at the butcher shop. In great distress they went to see Hakuin to apologize and ask for forgiveness. "We are really sorry. We have come to take the baby back. Our daughter confessed that you are not the father." "Is that so?" is all he would say as he handed the baby over to them. The Master responds to falsehood and truth, bad news and good news, in exactly the same way: "Is that so?" To him there is only this moment, and this moment is as it is, and so he does not become a participant in human drama. He is so completely at one with what happens that what happens has no power over him. Only if you resist what happens are you at the mercy of what happens, and the world will determine your happiness and unhappiness (p. 200).
When someone criticizes you or calls you names, instead of immediately defending yourself--do nothing. Allow the self-image to remain diminished and become alert to what that feels like deep inside you. For a few seconds, it may feel uncomfortable, as if you had shrunk in size. Then you may sense an inner spaciousness that feels intensely alive. You haven't been diminished at all. In fact, you have expanded. You realize that through becoming "less," you become more. This is what Jesus means when he says, "Deny yourself" or "Turn the other cheek." (p. 215).
If you are content with being nobody in particular, content not to stand out, you align yourself with the power of the universe. Instead of trying to be a mountain, teaches the ancient Tao Te Ching, "Be the valley of the universe." In this way "all things will come to you." Similarly, Jesus, in one of his parables, teaches that "When you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place so that when your host comes, he may say to you, friend, move up higher. Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at table with you. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted." (p. 216).
According to a Sufi story there lived a king in a Middle Eastern land who was continuously torn between happiness and despondency. The slightest thing would cause him great upset or provoke an intense reaction, and his happiness would quickly turn into disappointment and despair. A time came when the king finally got tired of himself and of life, and he began to seek a way out. He sent for a wise man who lived in his kingdom and who was reputed to be enlightened. When the wise man came, the king said to him, "I want to be like you. Can you give me something that will bring balance, serenity and wisdom into my life? I will pay any price you ask." The wise man said, "I may be able to help you. But the price is so great that your entire kingdom would not be sufficient payment for it. Therefore it will be a gift to you if you will honor it." The king gave his assurances, and the wise man left. A few weeks later, he returned and handed the king an ornate box carved in jade. The king opened the box and found a simple gold ring inside. Some letters were inscribed on the ring. The inscription read: This, too, shall pass. "What is the meaning of this?" asked the king. The wise man said, "Wear this ring always. Whatever happens, before you call it good or bad, touch this ring and read the inscription. That way you will always be at peace." (p. 224).
When you become aware of the fleetingness of every situation, your attachment to them lessens. Being detached does not mean that you cannot enjoy the good that the world has to offer. In fact, you enjoy it more. You can enjoy the pleasures of the world while they last without fear of loss or anxiety about the future. When you are detached, you gain a higher vantage point from which to view the events in your life instead of being trapped inside them (p. 225).
People, in their restless search for something significant to happen to them, continuously miss the insignificant, which may not be insignificant at all. The philosopher Nietzsche, in a rare moment of deep stillness, wrote, "For happiness, how little suffices for happiness! The least thing precisely, the gentlest thing, the lightest thing, a lizard's rustling, a breath, a wisk, an eye glance--little maketh up the best happiness. Be still." (p. 235).
A Zen Master was walking in silence with one of his disciples along a mountain trail. When they came to an ancient cedar tree, they sat down under it for a simple meal of some rice and vegetables. After the meal, the disciple, a young monk who had not yet found the key to the mystery of Zen, broke the silence by asking the Master, "Master, how do I enter Zen?" He was, of course, inquiring how to enter the state of consciousness which is Zen. The Master remained silent. Almost five minutes passed while the disciple waited for an answer. He was about to ask another question when the Master suddenly spoke. "Do you hear the sound of that mountain stream?" The disciple had not been aware of any mountain stream. He had been too busy thinking about the meaning of Zen. Now, as he began to listen for the sound, his noisy mind subsided. At first he heard nothing. Then, his thinking gave way to heightened alertness, and suddenly he did hear the hardly perceptible murmur of a squall stream in the far distance. "Yes, I can hear it now," he said. The Master raised his finger and said, "Enter Zen from there." The disciple was stunned. It was his first satori--a flash of enlightenment. He knew what Zen was without knowing what it was that he knew! They continued on their journey in silence. The disciple was amazed at the aliveness of the world around him. He experienced everything as if for the first time. Gradually however, he started thinking again. The alert stillness became covered up again by mental noise, and before long he had another question. "Master," he said, "I have been thinking. What would you have said if I hadn't been able to hear the mountain stream?" The Master stopped, looked at him, raised his finger and said, "Enter Zen from there." (p. 236-238).
The apparent solidity of matter is an illusion created by our senses. The physical body, for example, is 99.99 % empty space. This is how vast the space is between the atoms compared to their size, and there is as much space again within each atom. In many ways, our body is a microcosmic version of outer space. To give you an idea of how vast the space is between celestial bodies, consider this: Light traveling at a constant speed of 186,000 miles (300,000 kilometers) per second takes just over one second to travel between the earth and the moon; light from the sun takes about eight minutes to reach the earth. Light from Proxima Centauri, which is the sun that is closest to our own sun, travels for 4.5 years before it reaches the earth. Light from the galaxy closest to our own, the Andromeda Galaxy, takes 2.4 million years to reach us. Isn't it amazing that your body is just as spacious as the universe? So your physical body, which is form, reveals itself as essentially formless when you go deeper into it. It becomes a doorway into inner space. Although inner space has no form, it is intensely alive. That "empty space" is life in its fullness, the unmanifested Source out of which all manifestation flows. The traditional word for that Source is God (p. 251).
Book Description
This book has the potential to profoundly transform your world view. Using high-speed photography, Dr. Masaru Emoto discovered that crystals formed in frozen water reveal changes when specific, concentrated thoughts are directed toward them. He found that water from clear springs and water that has been exposed to loving words shows brilliant, complex, and colorful snowflake patterns. In contrast, polluted water, or water exposed to negative thoughts, forms incomplete, asymmetrical patterns with dull colors. The implications of this research create a new awareness of how we can positively impact the earth and our personal health.

The Hidden Messages in Water by Masaru Emoto, David A. Thayne.......2007-10-03
Definitely something to think about -- A must read! I purchased extra copies for friends.
This book deserves a minus 5 stars, I am amazed at how many good people accept without question what this guy presents.......2007-09-03
I am a water efficiency consultant. I am fascinated and amazed by the magical beauty of water. But I also recognize that there are many scientific principles that govern the behavior of water. That science does not detract from the beauty and mystery of water for me. I do not need to throw science out the window to appreciate that beauty but apparently many others do. I once watched a 2 hour slide show and talk by Mr. Emoto, hoping to ask questions. He refused to take any questions afterwards, even though I had plenty. Where are the side by side comparisons of the ice structure of the same water that did not have the word or picture influences? Until similar photos are created with a control group and with the involvement of neutral 3rd party scientists, I can not believe any of the claims. But I will always have a childlike amazement at the endless beauty and mystery of water.
Enlightening.......2007-09-03
An amazing wake up call. There is a StarTrek episode where an alien calls humans "ugly bags of mostly water"... We are all mostly water and we can create huge changes if we simply focus. Read this book to understand how you can make a huge difference in yourself and the world.
How of the emotions are important for the better world!.......2007-07-20
This book show us how is important for the people to have good feelings and good thoughts. Perhaps, for the sceptic person this kind of experiment doesn't means anything. But I thing it's time to open our minds for the new experiments. The scientists who desagree, they must propose new experiments to refuse.
It's time to people learn that our feelings and thoughts influence matter. All of the atoms and subparticles are vibrating all the time and our thoughts and emotions are vibration too. Hence, the waves are emitted by us influence the atoms and subparticles. So I can't understand the people refuse this kind of experiment without reflection!
water crystals.......2007-07-12
Written in a clear and vivid language and supplemented by crisp photographs of water crystals, the author has shown the importance of thinking and acting positively if we want to keep the water crystals in perfect shape. Since everything, music, words, thoughts, actions, have an impact on the water crystals, we have to be very careful not to think in destructive ways. An excellent and thought-provoking book. It makes one think twice before saying a word or acting in a way that might have a negative influence on the water crystals.

Informative.......2007-05-15
It was so refreshing and informative to read about the most important Person on earth - The Holy Spirit. The book would be an excellent reading source for those who are first experiencing Who the Holy Spirit is in their lives.
This book is a must for understanding the Creator's original assignment and program for every human being........2007-04-10
The insight and understanding Dr. Munroe has in regards to the kingom message of Jesus is incredible. For centuries this message has been misunderstood and mishandled mostly because we live in the western part of the world and have no concept of what a kingom is or how it functions making it difficult for us to understand the basic concepts of the Bible because we approach it from a democratic mentality. Because Dr. Munroe was born under the Kingom of Great Britain, he brings not only perspective but real life experience. I believe this book will help every kingom citizen regardless of denomination grasp the big picture of God's original plan of God for humanity and His plan for implementing His kingom purposes. This book will make you want to re-read, re-study, and re-assess the Bible because it helps us as a global church rediscover God's original mandate.
Extremely Informative.......2007-04-10
For quite some time I have been studying the specificity of the Kingdom of God/Heaven. Myles' contribution in this teaching is quite simply the most enlightening that I have studied next to the scriptures themselves. One can really learn and understand who they are in the Kingdom and how important the role of Holy Spirit is in our lives and in the Kingdom. I would highly recommend this to anyone who seriously wants to learn to have more power over his or her own lives.
Mom bought it.......2007-04-10
I didn't read it. My mom used my account (I allowed it) and bought these books.
A New Perspective on the Kingdom of God.......2007-04-07
This is the most eye-opening, inspirational book I've read in a long time. Dr. Munroe makes the Kingdom of God real and let's me know that I have an important place there. I'm more excited about being a child of God (citizen of Heaven) than ever before - I can hardly wait to see what Father/King has in store for me in the future. Thank you, Dr. Munroe, for this wonderful revelation.

Zecharia Sitchen's The 12th Planet is the starting point on a quest that spans six books and 20 years worth of ancient aliens, genetic manipulation, and scrutiny of linguistic minutiae. If we trust Sitchen's translation abilities, we must be prepared for the imminent return of an alien race who created us some 300,0x00 years ago. The 12th Planet is perhaps the best written of Sitchin's Earth Chronicles series; full of example after example of ancient Sumerian passages, astronomical observations, archaeological finds, and technological coincidences supporting his theories. The price we pay for all this evidence is a bit of a dry read at times, but the ideas Sitchin proposes are more than scintillating enough to make up for the overtly scholastic tone of his text. --Brian Patterson
Book Description
Over the years, startling evidence has been unearthed, challenging established notions of the origins of Earth and life on it, and suggests the existence of a superior race of beings who once inhabited our world. The product of thirty years of intensive research, The 12th Planet is the first book in Zecharia Sitchin's prophetic Earth Chronicles series -- a revolutionary body of work that offers indisputable documentary proof of humanity's extraterrestrial forefathers. Travellers from the stars, they arrived eons ago, and planted the genetic seed that would ultimately blossom into a remarkable species...called Man.

Ignorance isn't bliss!!.......2007-09-19
I can't understand why people put some much negative engery into someone else's work such as a legend as Dr. Sitchin. As much as time they spent writing their negative reviews they could have perhaps written their own book. Anyways......it has been a true pleasure studying the works of Dr. Sitchin a true "Einstein" in our midst. Please see youtubedotcom for more on this "magnificent" scientist.

The 12th Planet.......2007-09-13
An enlightening look at how mankind came to be on this planet while explaining why a missing link cannot found. It molds together the ideas of creation as explained in religious manuscripts and theories of evolution into a feasible chain of events.
Bringing Forth An Unknown.......2007-06-29
I have to thank Sitchen for writing this book because it was an incentive for me to research and validate what I read. I have enjoyed all of his books.
I can say that almost of the information he has given can be validated if one has the desire to know.
Sitchen introduced me to Ninhursag, the chief geneticist and the co-creator of the human body as we know it today. I did not say she created the mind or the spirit that inhabits the body. I just write she co-created the human body as we know it today.
Bettye Johnson, author, Secrets of the Magdalene Scrolls
The 12th Planet.......2007-03-09
This book was the start of a different thought process for me and Mr Sitchin "I THANK YOU SO MUCH" What a change in my life since I 1st read this book in 2002 and since I have read everything Sitchin and I must say I believe in what he writes.
An Interesting Theory..........2007-02-07
This book is interesting. The theory makes some sense, and I would like to see the material cited as "proof" backing up the theory.
A lot of the "pictures" are just drawings, which leaves room for questioning their authenticity. Being the skeptical believer I am, I really wish I had access to more reliable information that would confirm some of the things this book claims. It held my attention enough that I not only finished it, but also started to read the second book "The Stairway to Heaven" (which lost my attention after the first 20 or so pages... I'll get back to it at some point).
I do have to say, though, that towards the end I was a little turned off, mostly by the fact that:
- the book claims the 12th planet approaches Earth every 3,600 years
- the book uses its own interpretation of ancient texts to support its claim and says that ancient people described the periods when the planet approached Earth as times when the climate would go crazy due to the gravitational pull caused by this huge planet's proximity to Earth
- the book says the planet was near us at about 3,800 BC
- if the planet had come by us at about 3,800 BC, the actual last time the planet was near Earth was at about 200 BC, a time when such incredible event would have been clearly recorded by people, who had already developed pretty modern languages, and kept records of everything
- I never read anything from approximately 200 BC saying there were huge climatic changes on earth, big earthquakes, tsunamis, volcano eruptions, etc. around that time...
Another event that didn't make sense was that the writer tells the "gods" decided to let humanity perish by orbiting the planet in their spaceships while Earth was flooded by the deluge. The writer goes on to say that the aliens (gods) were crying in desperation in their ships because it was so horrible that earth was being destroyed and they regretted not saving men, and that they were starving in the ships because the food they brought wasn't enough.
Well, while the author says everything mentioned on the paragraph above, he also says that the 12th planet was near Earth when this happened. If they were starving and desperate, why didn't they just fly back to their planet? They could have come back in another 3,600 Earth-years (which, by the way, were just the same as one of their years) to check out how we were doing if they missed us too much.
On the other hand, it would make sense that such a messed up race (humans) would have come from such a messed up family of aliens. But, then again, we may just be making god to our own image, as usual...
All in all, it's an interesting theory for an interesting subject, definitely worth reading if you don't expect it to reveal all the secrets of the universe.

Unorganized, scattered ideas.........2007-08-28
I really hate to be the one to give this book a negative review, specially with all the positive reviews it has gotten so far, but honestly and truly this book did absolutely nothing for me. In fact, I did not get past the firt 2 chapters. I truly believe the Author holds wisdom in her words--I really do-- the only problem for me was that she(or the editor) did not take the time to focus her ideas one at a time and write them in a well-versed and organized format.
Almost every sentence is an advice on its own expressing a different idea to take in, and the reader is being told this and that relentlessly, but is it really getting through? You'll be left wondering if that sentence you just read was the same one you read in the previous paragraph. Didnt she just say that? These are some of the questions I kept asking myself. Alas, as hard as I tried, I could not finish the book.
Make positive and extremely beneficial changes in your life.......2007-08-09
Can't figure out why certain things are happening to or not working for you? You could possibly find the answer in here. "If any area of your life is not working, one of your beliefs in that area needs to be changed" -from the book.
Many universal laws and principles are covered in this book. ie: Energy and how to sense and work with it, love, forgiveness, pain, how your imagination is a very important tool, (and the way it works with your subconcious is pretty amazing.) Each chapter ends with a 'Playsheet' which is very helpful, and gives you excercises to think about and try for yourself.
Besides the abundance of information, another nice thing about this is, while it's great to start at the beginning and read through, you can open this up randomly and read something beneficial.
This is an 'Orin' book, which means evidently the book is channeled from this entity through Sanaya Roman. I've only read a few books that claimed to be 'channeled', and I don't have a problem with it especially when the information is geared towards helping people to make positive life changes. There are lots of ways to grow and learn from reading this book and applying the new knowledge.
As always a good book.......2007-08-07
I really love sanaya's books, they leave you with a warm feeling and an inner knowing. This book was very good but i wish there were more excersizes like her other books ie spiritual growth.
Mark D. Hyde, Author of "Coloring Outside the Lines: One Gay Man's Journey to Self-Acceptance & Spiritual Awakening.......2007-06-16
I initially read Personal Power through Awareness about a year and a half ago. I was COMPLETELY amazed. It felt as if this book had been written specifically for me. The adage, when the student is ready, the teacher will appear is absolutely true. Sanaya Roman's book encapsulated my entire stuggle for the first 35+ years of my life. I so desperately wanted to be the good son, the perfect minister, ideal Christian, husband, friend, employee, etc. I wanted to please everyone, but the one who matters most.....me. This book was momunental in helping me reclaim myself and getting in touch with my energy. I even quote the following reference in my own book. "Being alone, sitting quietly, allowing yourself to rest physically, emotionally, and mentally will give you an increasingly clear sense of self. In those still times you are not playing out any role or any identity, and your soul can speak to you more clearly. You have the clearest sense of your own energy when you are not around others, when you are alone." I just finished reading this book again and even after five times through it, I still walk away with something new, timely, pertinent, and extremely helpful. I have no doubt whatsoever that you will do the same.
My life is forever improved........2007-02-13
This book, as with all books by Sanaya Roman with Orin as her channel, has perminently improved my life. I understand so many wonderful things about the universe that I did not understand previously. I am experiencing joy and love at a whole new level. This book really prepared me for reading "Opening to Channel" by Sanaya. "Opening to Channel" is the greatest gift I have received from any book I have ever read. Although "Soul Love" also by Sanaya, may have benifited me as much and I may not realize it. When a person is ready for this information, it will improve their lives forever! I am gratful that I found these books.

Natural Magic 2.......2007-08-31
This book was easy to understand and read. Gave good information of what Natural Magic is and was very imformative.
Connect with the Elements !.......2007-08-28
I adore Scott Cunningham's work, and EAF&W is no exception. Although I love EARTH POWER as well, I like that EAF&W has more techniques and really helps the reader to understand how natural things are affected, and in turn, affect the elements. I love Cunningham's ability to show the reader that magic doesn't really need 50 candles and some expensive oil to be magic - all we have to do is remember our Earth and work with her - directly...that's what real magic is about.

with a preface, an `after-word`, appendices, glossary and a concise index.
Interspersed with charming black and white illustrations, written in the usual Scott Cunningham style, packed with information and hints/tips:-
`Safe methods of leaving candles burning in your absence (while preventing the possibility of accidental fires):
Place the candle and its holder in a large, metal pot (such as a cauldron).
Burn the candle in the bathtub (Many, many natural magicians do this).
Burn seven-day candles (which are housed in glass jars).
Burn candles in an indoor fireplace.
Generally speaking, candles shouldn't be burned during outdoor rituals and never in a forest.'
`One Spell on a Candle'
It's best to use each candle for only one magical ritual.
Say you've been burning a blue candle to promote peace. When that spell's done, you've still got half a candle left. Should you re-charge the taper and burn it to, say, promote psychic awareness?
Nope. One spell to a candle, please. I usually let the candles burn out anyway, so I don't have stubs lying around.'
From the Glossary:-
`Witchcraft
The craft of the Witch. This is magic, especially magic that utilises `Personal Power' in conjunction with `Earth Power'.
From this definition, Witchcraft isn't a religion.
However, many followers of the religion of Wicca interchangeably use both terms to describe their religion.'
From `Star Magic':-
RELEASING
This ritual is designed to use the energy of the stars to absorb negativity. Use it to help make a clean break from negative habits, misplaced emotions, and other wonderfully human problems.
Sit outside
Attune with your `Star of Power'. (explained in previous section)
Visualise your problem. Visualise yourself wallowing in it, feeding it energy so that it is self-sustaining.
Hold out your arms before you. Cup your hands together. Push this visualisation out of your arms into your hands. Break all connections with that which is to be released.
See the problem and its causes sitting within your palms.
Say something like the following:-
Blazing stars;
Fiery stars;
What was mine
Is now yours.
With a strong, certain gesture, separate your hands, fling your arms to the sky and release the negativity to the stars. PUSH it from your body.
Send it wildly spinning up into the heavens, where the energy of the stars will cleanse and transform it.
Repeat as needed.'
not as good as "Earth Power" but still good.......2007-03-23
while I consider myself a christian and not pagan, some would argue that I practice some so-called pagan arts. For centuries my ancestors have practiced a sort of combination, if you will, of Catholic and native traditions. anyway, long story short ~ I like this book and while it doesn't really have any traditions my family would have practiced and mostly focuses on Old World (European) rites/traditions, I still find it interesting. it's not nearly as good as "Earth power" but a good read anyway. take it from me, Scott Cunningham is the perfect author for non-wiccans/pagans looking for good books on invoking the earth: nothing that offends unlike many others on the genre.
Great buy.......2007-03-15
I've owned this book for quite some time, and I use it as a reference guide for both daily household spells and specific issues. It's very well written; I can see Cunningham in my mind's eye while reading this. He really put his heart and soul into these books.
This was the first of his books that I bought. When I was a bit younger and first getting interested in Magic, I was ploughing through a pile of "New Age" books, and came across this. Even though it's an extension of one of his other books, it doesn't have to be read like that. He refers back to it a couple of times, but it's really a guide, and ought to be used as thus.
I highly recommend it. Whether you're beginning or just want to brush up on some other spells, this guide is beautiful.
Book Description
Re-released on the heels of Al Gores #1 New York Times bestseller, An Inconvenient Truth, comes the paperback edition of his classic bestseller, Earth in the Balance. First published in 1992, it helped place the environment on the national agenda; now, as environmental issues move front-and-center in the public consciousness, the time is right to reflect deeply on the fate of our planet and commit ourselves to its future. While An Inconvenient Truth closely examines one menace to our environmentglobal warmingEarth in the Balance takes a broader approach, focusing on the threats that everyday choices pose to our climate, water, soil, and diversity of plant and animal life. A passionate, lifelong defender of the environment, Gore describesin brave and unforgettable termshow human actions and decisions can endanger or safeguard the vulnerable ecosystem that sustains us.

An OK read..........2007-10-03
So this book was written in 1990...things have changed a lot since then - some for better some for worse. So keep that in mind while reading this book. But some good facts in the book though from extensive research. That is the selling point for this. However, I think the presentation and writing style made it a little difficult to maintain focus. I might have felt differently had I read this in 1990.
Earth In The Balance.......2007-09-25
Incredibly informative . Puts perspective on the Earth's history of climate change and how it affects civilizations.
Eye-Opener!!!.......2007-09-15
This book is an easy reader, meaning that it was easy to follow and understand. The need for more informative books like this one could definitely help inform the world how crucial it is to put pressure on the Amercian government, United Nations, and other countries to take reponsibilty for their part in deteriating the ozone layer.
Everyone should read this book.......2007-08-23
I was looking for something definitive on the natural environment and our destruction of it because there are so many different publications on the subject, some a bit theatrical and often too specific on a certain area or problem. This book is thorough, cold and to the point regarding the undeniable truth about the effect the human race is having on the planet. I was highly impressed with the detail provided and with how a great range of different causes and effects were brought together into perspective. This is the most important and the best book I have read in a long time.
Earth in the Balance.......2007-07-29
Al Gore's Earth in the Balance is no less than an eye-opener for any reader of any political loyalty. You cannot question the seriousness of the environmental crisis anymore.
