 The God Code May 1, 2004
14 out of 20 found this review helpful
Taking literal the Biblical reference to seek within to find God,Braden tries to unlock a secret coded message he believes God has left behind in each of us. Using the Hebrew language, he breaks this down into individual letters which have hidden meanings and secret numerical values. This is then applied to the name of God,Man,Woman,Soul,Heaven,Fire,Air,Water,etc. and these values shown. The same is done with modern day elements and their atomic masses as well as the DNA structure. Using the addition of these number values and the science of Gematria (reversal of letters/numbers) in assorted equations, the hidden "code" is revealed. Oddly, this can only work when known words are broken down into alphabet letters and the letters into these secret numbers. The system cannot be used in reverse to prove itself as it only works in one order. Much of the book is spent on the authors perspective viewpoints, his personal journey, and the source of materials which led up to this "discovery". I surmise in an attempt to validate and give credit to the premise of this book. I believe this is a case where the experimenter became part of the experiment and found what he wanted to see. I don't see it.
 a valuable addition to an exisiting body of knowledge.... May 1, 2004

This is an excellent book with startling new information about the link between the atomic make-up of man and the name of God in the Bible. The reason I'm writing this review is because some of the other reviewers here just don't get it. They seem to be threatened by a universal biological atomic structure which would bring a sense of unity to mankind. They are so wrapped up in their own dogmatic religous beliefs and their own definite opinion of who God is, that they are unable to accept the author's credible proposition that there is a direct atomic connection between God and man. Braden has come up with a fascinating theory which may be the true secret code in the Hebrew letters that spell-out the name of God. If you think about it, what better way could the ancients pass on the knowledge that humankind is composed of four basic elements? The four letters in the name of God would be the perfect vehicle for transmitting this information. Otherwise, this information would have surely been destroyed by organized religion who denied all new scientific theories for hundreds of years. Lest we not forget the famous Alexandrian Library which was set on fire by religious zealots who destroyed 600,000 original ancient documents that are now lost forever. If this code had been written in any other way, you can rest assured it would have been destroyed by these same type of religious fanatics who insisted that the Sun revolved around the earth for 1200 years. Anytime, a true breakthrough in religious-science comes along, there will always be those detractors who are afraid that their religion may not be right about the true nature of God. It's time to let go of the Biblical fairytales and consider what the author is saying.
 Take a step towards your own evolution April 29, 2004
5 out of 10 found this review helpful
This book is important. Yes, it has a couple of inaccuracies. Yes, it proposes a theory which will shake the comfortable belief systems of most fundamentalists. BUT, the theory conforms to the basic, original tenets of the Christian faith (the ones that existed before Constantine's great editing orgy!), as well as every other religion on the planet. God lives here, and inside every human. We were created in the image of the creator, whoever he/she/it may be, and created imperfectly so we could take charge of our own evolution. Reading this book is a good place to start!
Provocative, Heavy Sledding April 25, 2004

If you enjoy Braden's work, you'll enjoy this book. If you're looking for science that cannot be challenged, or something to convince you of the existence of a higher power, this might not be the right door. Essentially, Braden argues that human DNA has markers that correlate with an ancient alphabet, and can be interpreted (using his formula) to include a message about our divine heritage. It's a theory. It's intriguing. If you are in the mood for exploration, it will provide food for thought.
Fallacy with serious argument, recommend Reading SB 1 or God February 21, 2004
62 out of 79 found this review helpful
I do not give book reviews, but this book is both extremely disturbing and debateable. The major weakness of the theory, (and I do say theory as there is no supportive evidense anywhere in this entire read,) is the assignment of numbers to DNA nucleotides derived from original Hebrew dialect. The notion is more than wishful thinking, it borders on fanatical insanity. However the striking point is, even if it were true, there is nothing in it that would bring us added awarenenss other than knowing Gods blueprint is in us, but Genesis claimed that property 1000s of years ago with the statement we were made in Gods Image. So what is the purpose of this book? I believe Gregg Braden is attempting to make a valuable contribution to World Peace by using the vehicle of Gods imprint on our DNA proving we are all equal and for that, should accept each other as Gods handywork. The book is a beautiful read with wonderful ideas and is quite fun to delve into. However I am quite disgusted at the random, out of the air or off the wall assumption central theme of correlating DNA to Hebrew tongues as there are invaribly billions of more word combinations in Human DNA than there are words of all the languages on the planet, and every other planet in the universe, not to mention that the correlation itself is so preposteriously ridiculous. That is why everyone of the Earths six billion people look different with the exception of twins, oops, a rewrite! I have a suggestion on the fingerprints of God in us, a very real book titled SB 1 or God by Karl Maddox.
