oneness and the quantum hologram
by gregg braden
in this interview, gregg goes into detail about why the energy of the present energetic changes in the earth are very personal for each one of us, and what they mean for our lives and our ability to consciously co-create a better world.
spiritual tradition and western science
i've had the opportunity to travel throughout the world. i have been on every continent except antarctica. i have been in some of the most pristine, highest mountains in the world, remote villages in the himalayas and the andes, as well as along the rivers near the cradles of civilization.
and one of the most interesting things that i've found is that it is only here in the west that we feel this need for logic-based explanations — like the concept of the unified field, or the consciousness grid — for how everything works: the need for proof every step of the way.
and i think this is because in other parts of the world, as in many ancient traditions, people do not perceive the need to engineer the forces of nature. rather, they accept the relationships as they are, and then apply them in their lives.
so when we go into the dead sea scrolls, for example, or some of the gnostic traditions, or the old egyptian or native traditions, we find that they were not actually trying to figure out how things worked. they just accepted things as they were, and then asked, "how do we apply this in our lives? how do we create miraculous healings in our bodies? how do we invite the forces of nature to create rain for our crops so that we can survive?"
in the west, we want to know why and how because we choose to engineer our world. we choose to engineer the forces of nature, and to do so, we have to understand how nature functions.
i'm not saying that there's a right, wrong, good, or bad in these different perspectives, but i am saying that the ancient traditions seem to contribute the most intact records of who we are in the cosmos and how we relate to creation. it's just that in our world of science, technology, and engineering, the ancient texts have not been well received or given much credence because they do not explain the why or the how of nature.
but these texts do tell us how to deal with the relationships that already exist.
our scientific concept of the the unified field and the consciousness grids is reflected in these texts as oneness or unity. we are are not simply a part of the earth, these texts tell us. we are the earth. we are not simply a part of the force that governs all creation. we are that force.
further, in my travels i have had the opportunity to correlate the relationships between the measurable physical changes that are going on in our world with the predictions made in some of the most cherished traditions of our time: the hindu, buddhist, egyptian, mayan, native north american, south american, ancient hebrew, pre-christian, and christian traditions.
and i have found that all of them, as different as they may appear on the surface, refer to this current time in history as one of great change on the earth.
and many of the traditions that remain intact take us one step further. they say that this isn't a change we can sit back and watch. instead, this change is actually a catalyst that invites us, as individuals and collectively, also to make changes within ourselves. we are being called upon to reconcile the meaning of this great change in our lives — day in and day out — in our careers, our relationships, our health, our bodies, and in the peace or lack of peace between nations.
reconciling these things within our own bodies actually prepares us to acclimate to the changes that earth is undergoing.
this need for change within ourselves is the piece i saw that was missing from scientific and technological traditions.
