The Divine Matrix: Bridging Time, Space, Miracles, and Belief
by Gregg Braden

For those who have followed the work of Gregg Braden, this book could have easily been retitled "The Best of Gregg Braden." In The Divine Matrix, Gregg Braden has pulled together his most profound writings, teachings, and research. It's an updated, well-organized refresher on the universal fears, the mirrors of relationship, experiments demonstrating the divine matrix, our creative role in the holographic universe, and the 20 keys to conscious creation. Having read most of Braden's material and attended several of his presentations over the year, I found this book to be timely for me, giving me renewed perspective on my personal life, my work life, and my role in the cosmic scheme of things. I highly recommend The Divine Matrix for those unfamiliar with Braden's work as well as the seasoned Braden aficionado.
