The Divine Matrix by Gregg Braden. A Critical Book Analysis

Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject Literature - Modern Literature, grade: A, ( Atlantic International University ), course: SEMINAR PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT I, language: English, abstract: In his book, Braden is referring to the universal field of energy, that the father of quantum physics, Max Planck ¿ a German theoretical physicist whose work on quantum theory won him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1918 ¿ , describes as a field that connects everything. He calls that field of energy the Divine Matrix. Now, what is the Divine Matrix? According to the author, the Matrix is a universal energy that affects our reality; he uses quantum physics to explain it. Braden (2007, p. 52) mentioned that the Divine Matrix is everywhere at all time and that it is also the mind of the universe. Besides, the following book¿s review will help us understand how the Matrix works in our everyday life. Equally important, before the reading of this book, I would experience the kind of things that I somewhat thought to be the unique person on this planet to ever experience. Most importantly, I was incapable of explaining them. It is true that I would as well question people around me if they ever experienced some of them. The answer was ¿yes¿. But for the other experiences I did not even dare to ask someone else. The very purpose of this dissertation is to discuss some of the topics Braden tackles in his book. Because he talks about many themes, nevertheless I have selected those I thought to actually be highly relevant. Accordingly, I will discuss four (04) subjects: the connection which exists between everything within the Matrix; the origins of the universe is also another discussion of my dissertation. In addition to that, I shall debate bilocation and the power of imagination. On the latter, Braden (2007, p. 55) talks about the bridge between imagination and reality. Why do I term it as ¿power of imagination¿? Because the author even if he does not use the expression ¿power¿, conversely demonstrates that imagination in fact has a power. By utilizing the term ¿bridge¿, he means imagination is not far from reality given that as human beings and being part of the Divine Matrix, we ourselves can create our own reality. The four above issues will be discussed in details.
