Art shared his candid impressions of the conversation, admitting to a blend of skepticism and intrigue. This episode was a part of a series delving into a controversy that began with Richard Hoagland, offering listeners a comprehensive view by featuring voices from all sides, including honoring Dr. McDaniel in a previous segment.
Art also took a moment to mourn the passing of actor JT Walsh, known for his roles in “Dark Skies” and other notable films, praising him as a genuinely nice person. The discussion then veered back to the Mars Global Explorer, with Art teasing more insights to come in future episodes. He expressed a keen interest in personally interviewing Dr. Michael Malin, hinting at a deep dive into the scientist’s work and thoughts.
Next was Greg Braden, a guest whose background in geology and aerospace engineering bridges ancient wisdom and modern science. Braden, known for his contributions to understanding ancient sciences and inner technologies, shared his views on the Mars story, adding another layer of depth to the ongoing discussion about the Red Planet and its mysteries.
Art delves into the disruptive potential of discoveries like the Face on Mars, the chambers beneath the Sphinx, and archaeological sites under Antarctica’s ice. He and guest Gregg Braden discuss how such revelations could fundamentally alter humanity’s self-perception, challenging religious and scientific institutions. Gregg, an optimist, believes that uncovering such truths could unify humanity, transcending our divisions to embrace a shared history and destiny. The conversation then explores the potential impact of finding the mythical Hall of Records beneath the Sphinx, suggesting it could hold a continuous record of human history spanning the last 50,000 years.
This discovery, if made public, would force a reevaluation of human identity and history, suggesting a collective path toward a significant turning point. Gregg questions whether society is ready to redefine its history, noting a division between those eager for change and those in power structures reluctant to disrupt the status quo. He shares personal experiences of backlash from devout Christians, illustrating the deep divides such discoveries could exacerbate.
Art and Gregg discuss the removal of key elements from sacred texts 1,700 years ago, arguing that modern belief systems, science, and understanding of our relationship to the world are based on incomplete information. This historical revisionism, they suggest, has profound implications for how we interpret discoveries that challenge conventional narratives.
Gregg and Art explore the intentional revisionism of historical texts about 1,700 years ago, suggesting that key elements were removed or altered to simplify understanding for the common people. This manipulation of texts has led to a modern understanding of our world, heritage, and relationships that is based on incomplete information. Gregg emphasizes the importance of looking back at original texts from before this period to gain a fuller understanding of our past.
They discuss how discoveries that challenge the established narrative, such as potential findings in Egypt, could disrupt society by revealing a more technologically advanced ancient civilization. Gregg introduces the concept of “inner technology,” suggesting ancient texts contained knowledge on intentionally changing body chemistry and genetic ordering, implying a civilization capable of significant feats, possibly even placing monuments on Mars.
The discussion shifts to societal readiness for such revelations, with Art speculating on the small percentage of the population required to spark significant change, akin to the American Revolution. He suggests that while a majority might be ready for the truth of an advanced ancient civilization, a significant minority could find such truths too disruptive.
Gregg and Art conclude this segment by questioning whether society is prepared to accept knowledge of past civilizations, their potential artifacts on the moon, space travel capabilities, genetic alteration, and the possibility of extraterrestrial involvement in human history without societal upheaval.
Gregg Braden emphasizes the readiness of many people to embrace a heritage far greater than previously believed, despite a relatively small group dictating policies that restrict access to this heritage. He highlights the responsibility of presenting this information in a way that integrates it into contemporary life, suggesting a shift from anger and chastisement towards those who have historically withheld this knowledge to a more positive and inclusive approach. Gregg advocates for using this wisdom to advance humanity in ways only dreamed of, leveraging the opportunity this generation has to redefine our relationship with our past and each other.
The conversation transitions to Gregg’s upcoming cruise with prominent figures like Dr. Zahi Hawass, where he plans to moderate a debate on ancient mysteries. He shares his intent to question Dr. Hawass about the exploration of chambers beneath the Sphinx, reflecting on the inaccuracies and speculations surrounding these explorations.
The discussion further delves into the evidence (or lack thereof) for Atlantis and the age of the Mars Face, drawing on historical records and circumstantial evidence to speculate on ancient civilizations’ technologies and their potential impact on our understanding of human history. Gregg suggests that discoveries under Antarctica’s ice and the potential uncovering of ancient societies could significantly alter our comprehension of human history, proposing that these societies might have been based on technologies very different from those chosen today.
Gregg Braden continues discussing the potential of ancient technologies and inner wisdom, emphasizing the importance of integrating this knowledge into contemporary society. He contrasts his optimistic view with Art’s more skeptical perspective, including a discussion about divergent beliefs regarding the age of Earth and humanity’s history. Gregg suggests that the current generation is pivotal, standing at the crossroads between clinging to outdated paradigms and embracing a richer, more inclusive heritage that incorporates ancient wisdom and technologies into our lives.
Gregg envisions this generation as the one that history will remember for choosing to embrace inner technology over reliance on external machines, highlighting the significance of ancient energy patterns, social changes, and the global rethinking of family structures and political ideologies. He reflects on his unique career path, from working as a geologist and engineer in the oil and gas industry to developing free energy devices and later contributing to defense projects while exploring ancient sciences of compassion.
Art inquires about the mental processes involved in working on a weapon capable of ending the world, leading to a discussion about Gregg’s motivations and experiences in the aerospace and defense industries. Gregg shares his journey from expecting to contribute to space exploration to finding himself involved in missile development, reflecting on the internal conflict and growth resulting from these experiences.
Gregg Braden shared insights into the mental and emotional challenges he faced while working on nuclear missile projects, highlighting his internal conflict between contributing to a potentially world-ending technology and his personal beliefs in peace and compassion. He discussed the notion that technology itself is neither good nor bad, but its application determines its value. This led to a broader conversation on the existence of other, possibly more advanced, weapons systems such as biological and electromagnetic weapons, which were developed alongside nuclear technologies.
Braden revealed that during the time of his work on the Peacekeeper missile, there was an awareness of the development of other weapons systems, which eventually made nuclear missiles obsolete. He reflected on the strategic decisions made during the Reagan administration that contributed to the end of the Cold War, emphasizing the role of technological advancements in these geopolitical shifts.
The discussion also touched on the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) or “Star Wars” program, with Braden suggesting that SDI was not fully implemented as originally intended but may have served other, undisclosed purposes. He expressed a commitment to pursuing truth and knowledge, despite potential consequences, aligning with Art Bell’s perspective on pushing forward in the quest for understanding.
The conversation delves into the potential of free energy technologies and the challenges of introducing such innovations into existing power structures. Gregg Braden discusses his experiences working with free energy prototypes and how their reception varied based on the perceived threat they posed to conventional energy systems. He emphasizes that collaborative approaches to integrating these technologies were met with more openness, suggesting ongoing development and implementation efforts, particularly in less industrialized nations.
The discussion then shifts to the practical application of these technologies, with Gregg mentioning their development for use in agricultural applications and in homes in third-world countries, where conventional power infrastructure is unfeasible. Despite Art Bell’s skepticism, Gregg maintains that such technologies, particularly those tuned to Earth’s natural frequencies, are being explored, though he acknowledges the challenge of generating sufficient amperage.
Art expresses doubt about the existence of commercially available free energy devices, urging Gregg to provide concrete examples or company information for verification. Gregg admits he doesn’t have this information readily available but insists on the potential of these technologies to make a significant impact if introduced appropriately.
The conversation also touches on the broader implications of introducing groundbreaking historical or technological discoveries. Gregg draws parallels between the resistance faced by new energy technologies and the potential upheaval in historical understanding, suggesting that how new information is presented to established authorities can significantly affect its acceptance.
Gregg Braden discusses the implications of introducing revolutionary ideas or technologies to established power structures, emphasizing a collaborative approach over confrontation. He shares an example from his visit to Egypt, specifically the temple at Abydos, which is thought to predate many known Egyptian structures. An archaeologist there used empirical dating methods, counting layers of Nile silt, to estimate the age of the temple, leading to a possible dating of around 22,000 years, challenging conventional Egyptian chronology.
Braden expresses his belief in the existence of high-technology civilizations that predate current historical understanding, suggesting that up until 1700 years ago, humanity had a much clearer understanding of its relationship with the world. He mentions how key insights were lost or removed from texts 1700 years ago, leading to the development of science and technology based on incomplete information. He cites various sources, such as the Dead Sea Scrolls and Gnostic traditions, as reminders of this more profound knowledge.
The conversation then shifts to a discussion on civilization types, referencing the theory of theoretical physicist Michio Kaku. Kaku categorizes civilizations from Type 0, which rely on burning coal and oil, to Type I, which harnesses the power of its planet, and beyond. Braden agrees with Kaku’s assessment that the transition from Type 0 to Type I civilization is fraught with challenges, including the potential for self-destruction through warfare or environmental degradation.
Braden remains optimistic about humanity’s ability to overcome these odds, emphasizing the importance of internal reconciliation and the “inner technology” humans possess to adapt and survive. He suggests that while there are many external threats to humanity’s survival, the key to overcoming these challenges lies within our ability to harness this inner knowledge and technology.
Gregg Braden discusses the potential for a major shift in human evolution, suggesting that humanity is on the verge of a genetic transformation. He introduces the idea that since 1995, documented changes in human DNA indicate the emergence of what some refer to as “millennium children” or a new species of humans. This phenomenon, described as spontaneous genetic mutation, is seen as a response to the challenges and environmental pressures of our time, potentially setting humanity apart from previous statistical predictions about our survival.
Braden posits that these genetic changes are happening within our generation and are a mystery to modern science because researchers often view these mutations as unrelated anomalies rather than signs of a broader evolutionary shift. He suggests that these changes are a direct response to the current state of the Earth and human society, including environmental degradation and the proliferation of new diseases.
The conversation also touches on the broader implications of these changes, including how ancient traditions and texts might have predicted or aligned with this evolutionary leap. Braden’s optimism about this transformation is not blind but based on leading-edge research and a reinterpretation of ancient knowledge.
Gregg Braden delves into the scientific evidence supporting the idea that human DNA is undergoing significant changes. He references a global blood study initiated in 1995, driven by the need to understand the HIV virus’s spread. This study, conducted across diverse geographic, age, cultural, and ethnic backgrounds, aimed to identify patterns of resistance or susceptibility to HIV.
The findings, as reported by the Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center in New York City and published in respected journals such as Science News and Nature, revealed that at least 1% of the global population tested showed a mutation in their DNA that conferred a high level of resistance to the HIV virus—up to 3,000 times the resistance observed in the average human. Braden clarifies that while this mutation doesn’t render individuals immune to HIV, the degree of resistance is notable.
Braden points out the rarity of such a significant genetic mutation occurring within the same generation, suggesting that it’s an example of what scientists are calling “spontaneous genetic mutation.” This type of mutation, according to research cited by Braden, including works by Nathaniel Lando and studies from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, appears to originate within the individual’s lifetime in response to environmental factors or challenges, such as exposure to the HIV virus, rather than being inherited at birth.
The University of Alabama at Birmingham’s research further identifies five gene sets that seem to be dormant in some people but become activated in others during their lifetime, particularly in response to the challenge posed by the HIV virus. This observation suggests a dynamic aspect of the human genome, capable of adapting rapidly to environmental pressures and challenges within a single individual’s lifetime, rather than over generations.
Gregg Braden continues to explore the remarkable findings related to human DNA and its adaptive capabilities in response to environmental challenges, focusing on the significant genetic changes documented since 1995. He highlights studies that show how certain gene sets, previously inactive, are becoming activated in response to various stressors, including the HIV virus. This research, initially driven by efforts to understand HIV resistance, has broadened to include other areas such as cancer research, revealing a more dynamic view of human DNA than previously understood.
A key aspect of this research is the discovery of new amino acids in human populations that have never been observed before, documented in the publication “Cytokine.” These amino acids are contributing to enhanced immune systems and faster cellular regeneration, suggesting a rapid evolutionary response to current global health challenges.
Braden suggests that the changes in human DNA are not just random mutations but are influenced by the individuals’ outlook on life and their responses to environmental challenges. He posits that humanity as a whole may become resistant, if not immune, to diseases like AIDS due to these genetic adaptations.
The discussion also touches on the impact of conventional treatments for HIV, such as the combination of antiretroviral drugs, on the decreasing number of AIDS deaths. Braden raises the question of whether the observed decrease in AIDS-related deaths and the instances of HIV remission, particularly in children born with the virus who later test negative, could be attributed to these spontaneous genetic changes rather than solely to medical treatments.
He introduces the concept that emotion, married with logic and belief systems, may play a crucial role in activating these dormant genetic codes. This idea ties back to ancient texts and practices, suggesting that a “lost technology” or science of emotion could be key to unlocking human potential and facilitating these genetic adaptations.
Gregg Braden further elaborates on the link between emotion, belief systems, and physiological changes, including DNA activation. He discusses a study by William Tiller at Stanford University in 1996, which explored the relationship between emotion and the immune system. Tiller’s research suggested that human biological oscillators could be synchronized through mental and emotional self-control, impacting heart rate variability and potentially activating dormant genetic sequences.
Braden emphasizes the physical nature of emotion as a waveform, which can directly influence DNA by activating or deactivating specific genetic sequences. This concept points to a potentially lost science or technology, dating back 1700 years, that understood how to harness emotion and belief systems for physiological adaptation and healing.
Despite the significant implications of these findings for understanding human evolution and health, Braden notes the lack of widespread attention in mainstream media. He suggests that the complexity of the implications and the novelty of the concept might contribute to this oversight.
The conversation touches on listener engagement, with a fax from a listener suggesting that their child might be an example of the adaptation Braden is discussing. This personal observation aligns with Braden’s theory that a subconscious decision to evolve could be driving these physiological changes in response to current and future challenges.
Braden argues that ancient traditions provide a context for understanding these phenomena as part of a larger pattern of human adaptation and evolution. He posits that humanity has faced similar periods of transition in the past and that ancient wisdom may offer guidance on navigating these changes.
The discussion also raises questions about the documentation of spontaneous healings and whether there has been an increase in such cases in recent years. Braden suggests that the capability for spontaneous healing has always been part of human potential but that only recently have researchers begun to study these phenomena in depth.
Gregg Braden delves deeper into the connections between belief systems, emotion, and physiological changes, including the activation of dormant genetic codes. He highlights studies, particularly from Stanford University and the Institute of HeartMath, that explore how our thoughts, feelings, and emotions can influence biological oscillators within the body, potentially impacting our immune system and genetic activation.
A significant study Braden discusses was published in the Journal of Advancement in Medicine in 1995. It linked emotion directly with our immune system, suggesting that our attitudes and emotional states could have a tangible effect on our physiological health. This study supported the idea that emotions could synchronize biological oscillators in the body, affecting heart rate variability and potentially turning on or off key genetic sequences.
Braden suggests that emotion, rather than the mind alone, plays a crucial role in this process. Emotion provides a template that determines whether genetic triggers are activated or deactivated. This perspective ties back to ancient traditions, which, according to Braden, understood the power of combining logic and emotion to influence physiological states and potentially heal or protect the body from diseases.
The discussion also touches on the role of belief systems in enabling these dormant genetic codes. Braden posits that the difference in health outcomes among various populations, such as the prostitutes in Africa who show a higher incidence of HIV, could be related to their belief systems and emotional responses to their life conditions.
Braden’s argument extends to the ancient knowledge that might have understood these relationships between emotion, belief, and health, suggesting that humanity has the capacity to choose thoughts and emotions that positively influence our physiology. This ancient wisdom, he believes, offered codes or equations of logic and emotion that could enable genetic links in our bodies, helping us navigate pivotal times in human history.
Braden addresses the question of why these significant findings are not more prominently featured in mainstream news. He provides an example of a 1995 study that compared human bone marrow with that of Neanderthals, Australopithecus, and Cro-Magnon, showing no close genetic match, challenging the notion of direct descent. This example illustrates how such groundbreaking studies are often overlooked or not widely publicized, despite their profound implications.
Gregg Braden discusses the remarkable findings of genetic changes in humans that appear to have occurred within individuals’ lifetimes, suggesting the emergence of a new species of human. This transformation is evidenced by the activation of certain genes that are not normally active in the general population, providing increased resistance to diseases like HIV. Specific genes, such as B27, B57, B18, B51, A32, and A25, were identified as being activated in individuals who exhibited a significant resistance to the HIV virus, highlighting a rapid evolutionary change within a single generation.
Braden emphasizes the role of belief systems and emotional states in influencing these genetic activations. Studies from institutions like Stanford University and the Institute of HeartMath have shown that human bodies can be viewed as biological oscillators, with thoughts, feelings, and emotions tuning these oscillators in ways that can directly affect immune system function and potentially activate dormant genetic sequences.
One study from 1995, published in the Journal of Advancement in Medicine, linked emotion with the immune system, showing that antibodies could be influenced by emotional states. This connection between emotion and physiological responses supports the idea that specific kinds of thoughts and emotions can choose the chemistry of our bodies, tying back into ancient traditions that understood the relationship between emotion, belief, and physical health.
Braden also touches on environmental factors, such as the breakdown of the ozone layer and increased ultraviolet radiation, suggesting that these conditions could be influencing the observed genetic changes. He notes that some organisms have thrived under increased ultraviolet light, which is used in laboratories to treat diseases like AIDS and cancer. This observation leads to a discussion about the potential for belief systems to play a key role in how individuals respond to environmental changes, including increased ultraviolet radiation.
Gregg Braden discusses the evidence for a new species of human emerging due to genetic changes, highlighting specific genes that have been activated in individuals showing an extraordinary resistance to HIV. These changes, documented within individuals’ lifetimes, signify a rapid evolutionary shift. Scientists have identified genes like B27, B57, B18, B51, A32, and A25 as being activated in people with a high resistance to HIV, genes that are not usually active in the general population. This activation suggests that human DNA is more variable than previously thought, opening up the possibility for rapid adaptation to environmental pressures and challenges.
Braden stresses the importance of belief systems in enabling these genetic changes, connecting modern scientific findings with ancient wisdom. He argues that our thoughts, feelings, and emotions can tune the biological oscillators in our bodies, influencing our health and genetic expression. This idea is supported by studies linking emotion with the immune system, suggesting a direct correlation between our emotional states and our physiological health.
The conversation also touches on environmental factors, such as increased ultraviolet radiation due to ozone layer breakdown, and how humans might adapt to these changes. Braden suggests that belief systems play a crucial role in how individuals respond to environmental challenges, proposing that positive beliefs about ultraviolet radiation, for example, could boost the immune system and trigger beneficial genetic changes.
A caller named Nancy shares her personal experience with a Christian group that engaged in book burning and denounced certain art as satanic, illustrating the resistance some segments of society might have to new ideas or knowledge that challenge their beliefs. This anecdote serves as a springboard for further discussion between Gregg Braden and the caller about the potential societal reactions to the unveiling of ancient knowledge or significant changes in our understanding of human DNA and history.
Braden emphasizes the importance of compassion as a “vibratory technology” that can influence the chemicals in our bodies, suggesting that ancient traditions understood and utilized this principle. He mentions research and studies that link belief systems with the ability to activate genetic codes, pointing out that our outlook on life significantly influences our physiological health and genetic expression.
The conversation touches on the role of belief systems in enabling or hindering the acceptance of new scientific discoveries, including those related to human evolution and genetic changes. Braden argues that ancient texts, pre-dating the distortions of 1700 years ago, align with the ideas he presents, suggesting a continuity of wisdom that has been obscured over the millennia.
Nancy expresses skepticism about the willingness of certain religious groups to accept these ideas, citing her experiences with a fundamentalist Christian group that prepared for government persecution and viewed non-Christian beliefs as satanic. Braden responds by encouraging individuals to hold onto their belief systems until they no longer serve them, suggesting that personal experiences that challenge these beliefs might lead to an openness to new ideas.
Braden’s approach emphasizes love, support, and compassion in facilitating a gradual acceptance of new perspectives, acknowledging that people learn and evolve at different rates. He suggests that pivotal experiences in individuals’ lives can prompt them to reconsider their beliefs, potentially leading to a broader acceptance of new scientific findings and ancient wisdom.
Gregg Braden and Art Bell delve into the concept of collective resonance, the idea that a shift in a small portion of the population’s beliefs or behaviors can influence the whole, akin to the 100th monkey principle. They explore the possibility that humanity is at a critical juncture, where openness to new ideas and understandings about our history and potential is increasing, despite the resistance from certain segments of society who might not be ready to accept these ideas due to deeply ingrained belief systems.
A caller, George, expresses skepticism about humanity’s readiness to embrace revelations about advanced ancient civilizations or significant changes to our understanding of human history. This prompts a discussion about the fear and resistance that such revelations might provoke, and the importance of rediscovering an “inner technology” or inherent power that enables humans to face these potential truths without fear.
Braden suggests that humanity has forgotten this powerful internal technology, which could empower us beyond the limitations and fears defined by our current understanding of history and our place in the universe. He implies that this inner technology could help us reconcile with the idea of advanced ancient civilizations and the possibility of life from other parts of the universe, making the prospect of rearranging our entire history less daunting.
The conversation also touches on the potential implications of discovering chambers under the Sphinx or faces on Mars, and whether these discoveries, if based on a technology we have yet to remember or understand, would even make sense to us today. Braden argues that our path towards external technological development, without a corresponding internal evolution, could lead to our demise.
In the end, Braden envisions a convergence of external technology and internal evolution, suggesting that the separation between modifying our genetic structure through internal means and using external scientific advancements to address challenges like earth changes is narrowing. This convergence could represent a holistic approach to overcoming the challenges facing humanity, blending our growing understanding of our genetic potential with scientific advancements to navigate the future.
Gregg Braden discusses the convergence of science and spirituality in understanding and manipulating the human genome. He suggests that while science is making strides in mapping and potentially manipulating the human genome, there is also a parallel process happening through emotional and spiritual means. Braden posits that the challenges facing our world might accelerate this internal process, as evidenced by the rapid appearance of new amino acids in human bodies, according to the Cytokine bulletin.
The conversation then shifts to a listener’s question about Jesus Christ walking the Earth and whether He was a “reference being” demonstrating the potential of human capabilities. Braden affirms this, suggesting that Jesus was one of several beings throughout history who exemplified a code of conduct that could activate dormant genetic potentials within us.
Another listener inquires about the possibility of analyzing the DNA from the Shroud of Turin, believed by some to be the burial cloth of Jesus. Braden shares insights from a five-year research project involving Los Alamos National Labs and Sandia National Labs, which examined the Shroud of Turin using aerospace technology. Contrary to a later study that dismissed the shroud as a hoax, this earlier research confirmed the presence of human blood, hemoglobin, bio pigments, and blood proteins on the shroud. Braden speculates that DNA analysis of the blood might reveal amino acids either newly discovered or yet to be seen, reflecting the unique genetic codes he discusses.

Braden speculates that DNA analysis of the blood might reveal amino acids either newly discovered or yet to be seen, reflecting the unique genetic codes he discusses.
Gregg Braden continues the discussion on the interplay between science, spirituality, and human evolution, focusing on the potential for humanity to activate dormant genetic codes through emotional and vibrational changes. Braden reiterates the idea that modern science, through various studies and research, is beginning to uncover the relationship between emotions, thoughts, and physiological changes at the DNA level. This discovery aligns with ancient traditions that have long suggested our thoughts, feelings, and emotions can significantly impact our physical bodies.
A caller, Dan, mentions Candace Pert’s book “Molecules of Emotion,” which explores the connection between emotions and physical changes at the molecular level. Braden acknowledges the importance of this work, noting it as part of the growing body of evidence that supports the theory of a variable genetic code influenced by emotional states.
Another caller shares his personal experience of being able to consciously control his heart rate, illustrating the kind of internal technology Braden discusses. This caller’s ability to calm himself and affect his heart rate variability through focused thought and emotion reflects the potential for humans to influence their physiological functions.
The conversation also touches on the concept of raising one’s vibrational frequency to transcend diseases and empower individuals to realize their innate potential. This idea of empowerment and self-realization through understanding and harnessing our internal capabilities is central to Braden’s message.
Heather, a caller from Vancouver, brings up the concept of “conscious evolution,” a term popularized by Barbara Marx Hubbard, which suggests that humanity is on the cusp of a significant evolutionary leap that integrates physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects into a new state of being characterized by love or compassion. This new state transcends traditional categorizations, embodying a holistic approach to evolution and personal development.
Gregg Braden delves deeper into the four key elements that were removed from our traditions around 1700 years ago, which he believes are crucial for understanding and harnessing the power within us. These elements include:
- The Uniqueness of This Time in History: Acknowledging the significance of the current era in human development and its unique challenges and opportunities.
- Our Relationship with the World: The idea that we have direct access to influencing our reality through a “vibratory technology” of thought, feeling, and emotion, which is fundamentally different from the conventional understanding of prayer.
- The Perception of Forces in the World: How we interpret the forces around us as either beneficial or detrimental, which directly impacts our physical and emotional well-being.
- The Science of Compassion: Viewing compassion not just as a moral virtue but as a practical tool for triggering positive genetic and physiological changes within our bodies.
Braden suggests that by reintegrating these elements into our lives, we can overcome the negative impacts of anger and fear on our immune systems and cellular functions, which are well-documented. This approach offers a way to support individuals in transitioning from old belief systems that no longer serve them to more empowering perspectives.
Listeners call in to share their experiences and questions, touching on topics like ancient civilizations, anomalous artifacts, and the potential for humanity to harness ancient knowledge and technology for our development. One caller mentions a metal column in India made from an alloy not recognized by modern technology, suggesting the existence of advanced ancient civilizations.
Braden emphasizes that what we consider anomalies from our current paradigm would be expected and normal within the context of these ancient traditions. He advocates for a broader understanding of science that honors our relationship with the natural world, which could lead to the rediscovery of technologies and capabilities lost to modern civilization.
The discussion highlights the principle of “contempt prior to investigation” as a barrier to understanding and embracing new ideas. Braden and Art Bell stress the importance of keeping an open mind and exploring possibilities without the need to convince or persuade, allowing individuals to make informed choices based on a full spectrum of information.
Gregg Braden discusses the ongoing changes in the Earth and humanity’s response to them, emphasizing the idea that we are not merely passive observers but active participants in how these changes unfold. He introduces the concept that these changes might propel humanity into greater potentials of human expression. Braden asserts that we are currently living in the time of the “shift of the ages,” a period of transformation that many ancient traditions have pointed to, and he expresses optimism about humanity’s collective wisdom to navigate this shift.
Braden touches on the idea of collective resonance, suggesting that even if isolated pockets of individuals hold onto obsolete belief systems, the overwhelming momentum of global consciousness moving towards acceptance and adaptation will carry humanity forward. He shares observations from his travels, noting that people around the world, regardless of their exposure to specific theories or predictions, sense that something significant is changing in their lives and their perceptions of the world.
The discussion also explores the potential for discussions and disagreements to open up pathways to new understandings and possibilities, emphasizing the importance of exploring a range of perspectives and ideas.
A caller introduces the topic of ancient civilizations that may have exceeded our current technological advancements, prompting Braden to speculate on what happened to these civilizations. He suggests that these societies might have followed a “second path” that focused less on external technology and more on understanding and integrating their relationship with the world. Braden hypothesizes that a cataclysmic event, not accounted for by these civilizations, may have led to their demise, leaving behind remnants that we see in ancient sites like Egypt.
Braden expresses his intention to visit Tibet to explore how contemporary monastic traditions might be directly descended from these ancient civilizations, aiming to bring back insights on how these traditions are lived today rather than merely discussed in historical texts.
A caller named Chris from California expresses appreciation for the show and then raises a question about the potential for emotional states to influence physical healing, specifically in the context of brain functions and the possibility of regenerating neurons. Gregg Braden responds affirmatively, suggesting that we are indeed capable of influencing our bodies down to the cellular and genetic level through thought, feeling, and emotion. He highlights the idea that our bodies are not regulated randomly but can be consciously influenced once we understand how to utilize our internal “technology” of emotion and thought.
Braden is cautious about discussing specific medical conditions without more information but generally supports the concept that conscious emotional states can significantly impact physical healing. He extends this discussion to the regeneration of internal organs, noting that while he has not seen documented cases of limb regeneration in the West, there are anecdotal reports suggesting such phenomena, especially from Eastern traditions.
The conversation touches on the broader implications of these ideas, including the potential for modifying genetic structures to enable physical regeneration. Braden suggests that the lack of documented cases in Western medicine might be due to a limited expectation of what is possible, implying that our beliefs and expectations play a crucial role in what we are able to achieve in terms of healing and regeneration.
A caller from Thunder Bay, Ontario, inquires about studies related to healing physical injuries through these methods. Braden confirms that there are well-documented cases of rapid bone healing and shares an anecdote about Japanese physicians using traditional healing techniques to make a bladder cancer disappear within minutes, observed in real-time via sonogram. This story illustrates the potential of combining emotional states with “magnetic therapy” to effect dramatic healing outcomes.
Braden hints at the broader technological implications of understanding how emotion and magnetism within the body can be harnessed for healing, suggesting that this area of study could redefine our understanding of what healing means and what is possible through the intentional use of our internal capabilities.
A caller named Rick from Seattle expresses appreciation for the positive perspectives shared by Gregg Braden and Art Bell, highlighting the importance of education in shifting paradigms and raising spiritual awareness. Rick introduces the idea that external factors, such as passing through different areas of space with varying vibratory levels, could influence human consciousness and physical changes. He specifically mentions the Schumann Resonance, the Earth’s vibration, which some believe is increasing.
Braden acknowledges the complexity and controversy surrounding the Schumann Resonance and the distinction between Earth’s vibration and human atmospheric resonance. Due to time constraints, they couldn’t delve deeply into this topic. Braden concludes by reiterating a core message from ancient traditions: by honoring each other and our relationship with the Earth, we naturally align with these vibratory changes, effectively incorporating them into our evolutionary process.
The show wraps up with Art Bell thanking Gregg Braden for his insights and contributions, offering listeners information on how to obtain Braden’s newsletter, books, and videotapes. Bell also previews upcoming shows, including discussions on the Titanic and other topics of interest to his audience.
