Social engineering, to a degree, we've never seen in our world before. And leading to a world of centralized power and control. So let me, I'll just give you an example. Food security. Everybody wants food security. I'm down with that, you know, 100%. Now you read the fine print. You would think they would want to help small agrarian families in rural areas throughout the world.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
Their idea of food security is to pump money into the big pharma and the big agriculture, corporate farms, GMO seeds, GMO insects to take care of these things. And what's happening is the little farmers are being forced out of business in the rural areas, not just in America. This is happening all over the world. And it's what it says on their website.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
I mean, they're telling you how they want to achieve these things. So the small guys get forced out of business. These big corporate farms, they come in and they're buying up the farmland throughout America and throughout the world. That's not good for us. That's not good for us. Some of the climate goals that they're looking at.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
I'm hesitant to get into this because each one could be an entire program, but let me just share. I want to share something with you and you probably, you may not be aware of this. As a degree geologist, I did a little experiment in January of 23 and I said, let's look at these climate goals because we're being led to believe that we are the problem. We humans Fossil fuels are the problem.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
So rather than pushing back, let's just accept it. What would the world look like if we met every one of those goals? So let's take carbon dioxide, for example. Right now, CO2 levels about 420-ish parts per million. And I haven't looked in the last few months. I don't know, but it's in that ballpark. Is it high? Higher than it was 10 years ago? Absolutely. Is it higher than it was 50 years ago?
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
Absolutely. Is it the highest it's ever been on our planet? As a geologist, I can tell you absolutely not. We've had times during the Cretaceous and the Jurassic periods where 1,000 parts per million, 2,000 parts per million, and life, Earth was lush, green, life thrived. It was a little bit warmer. It wasn't unbearably warm. The ice melted. The sea levels rose. And here's the interesting thing.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
What you see on those geologic maps is sometimes the CO2 levels are high and the temperatures are low. At times the temperatures are high and the CO2 levels are low. They're not necessarily 100% directly correlated. So if we were to meet the goals, right now the UN is proposing right around two, I think if we met the goals, we would see a CO2 level right around 220 or so parts per million.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
Now most people say, okay, what's the big deal? Extinction level CO2 on this planet, when the CO2 drops below a certain level, forests die and life does no longer thrive. That is 180 parts per million. Wow. Now, the CO2 on Earth, it's not like you can take a little dial and fine tune and click, you know, by 10 parts per million here and there. I mean...
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
If they knock it back to the 220s, we're about 36, where's that, 36 away from parts per million away from the 180. That is really, really bad for us. So as a geologist, I went to the charts and I said, when was the last time we saw that on this planet? And it was during a time we call the Pleistocene era. We saw low levels of carbon dioxide, forests died, temperatures dropped.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
Right now our average global temperature is about 59 degrees Fahrenheit. These proposals would drive it back to 46 degrees Fahrenheit. which means we'd have more ice in northern hemisphere, forest died, extinction levels. Here's the bottom line. It's not good for us. Those proposals are not good for humans. And you say, well, who's it good for? There's a whole conversation around that.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
So that's one thing right there. Now let's take it to the next level. Let's look at what's happening. We are being encouraged to have conflict. Right now, the wars, you see very few people trying to back off and deescalate. Everybody's full scale ahead. Now, hopefully that's going to change.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
But at the time of this conversation, there's a very real concern of the kind of wars that we haven't seen since the Cold War in the 1980s with nuclear weapons. What is the outcome of that? What we see is we're being encouraged for the nations of the world to deplete their weapons, deplete their resources, deplete their manpower. All right. That's not good for us. And that's happening.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
So now we've got a remaking of the planet that's not good for us. We've got a remaking of our defenses that's not good. And now you look at society. And the social bonds that hold us together as families and communities and societies are systematically being dismantled. It started right around 2014 with the Occupy movement, the rich against the poor, which is an important conversation.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
We need to have it in a kind way to solve the problem, but it was weaponized to divide us. rather than used as a way to bring us together. And then it went from that to men against women. Important conversation. It was weaponized. It went blacks against whites, Christians against Muslims, Jews against Muslims. Now men against women again, adults against children, the whole gender issue.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
And when we allow ourselves to get drawn in to these conversations that hit those primal instincts that elicit states of consciousness, that betray our very nature, they elicit hate, they elicit revenge, they elicit fear. That steals from us the very essence of our humanness. And I'm going to talk about that here in just a moment. So now that's being happening.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
You put this all together and you begin to look. There's a systematic movement to remake this world in a way. I'm 70 years old. I've never seen this in my 70 years. Really? Here's where this is different from any time in the past. A systematic movement to remake the world around us and a systematic movement to remake the world within us. Because we now have the technology.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
to change the biology of our bodies, to change what it means to be human. And we are the prize, Lewis. This is what I want to say. This is what our viewers to know. I want people to have a deeper appreciation and be proud of our humanness because it's through our humanness that we have access to something that no other form of life has. And that is
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
I'll use the word, and then I'll define it, and then we can have a conversation about it. The word is human divinity. For many people, divinity is linked with religion, and I can see why. There are schools of divinity that have been built to make that association, but the contemporary definition of divinity has nothing to do with religion.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
It literally reads, divinity is the ability to transcend perceived limitations. Transcend means to become more than perceived. I love this. They may not even be real. We may be living limits in our lives. And as a 14-year-old boy from a dysfunctional alcoholic family, I was told what my limits as a man, as a human would be.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
And this is where I began to push against those limits and test those limits. Now, I didn't know then, obviously, what I know now. But the ability to transcend the limits that we've been indoctrinated through family, culture, society, science, medicine, have all led us to believe we've got limits. And here's the thing. New discoveries are blowing the doors off every one of those limits.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
Consciousness informs itself. through its creations. The technology that we're building in the world around us is reminding us that we are that technology, that within us, we have the capabilities as what we now call soft technology, not computer chips and chemicals in the blood and wires under the skin. We're more than that. We're human, we're neurons and we're DNA and we're cell membranes.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
And we have the ability to self-regulate this soft technology in a way that no other form of life has. And here's the beauty, and this is every guest you've ever had, is hitting on one facet of this technology. When I was in the industry, what I learned is the more complex a system is, the simpler the user interface. You've probably seen that.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
I mean, pick up a cell phone, you touch the screen, and man, you can pay your bills and talk to your friends, and you never even, you never typed a letter. That's very sophisticated.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
Exactly, exactly. So our user interface is like that, and it is the subject of our most ancient and cherished spiritual traditions, thoughts, feelings, emotions, breath, focus, nutrient, and movement. That's our user interface. When we know how to bring those together in just the right way, we are awakening the potential of a soft technology that was given to no other form of life.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
And it's a very different way of thinking. So divinity, because we're covering a lot of ground here, Divinity is the essence of our humanness. Divinity is the part of us that's timeless. It's ageless. It's where our love begins. It's where sympathy, empathy, compassion, forgiveness, understanding to our healing begins is our divinity. So there is a concerted movement now.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
to veil us from our own divinity, to steal that power from us. Because when we are no longer connected with our divinity, we are more vulnerable to fear, more vulnerable to the agendas and the ideas of others, and more willing to accept other people's views of what our lives and what our world should look like.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
I didn't. I didn't reject them. I just didn't accept them. It wasn't safe in my family to reject anything. If you've been around alcoholism, that's very unpredictable. You know, your father comes home. You never know which father you're going to get. You never know how your conversation is going to be heard or responded to. So you're in survival mode a lot. You are in survival.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
Can I just do a little side journey on that just to show how deep that goes? I lost my mom during COVID. I wasn't ready for it. And it surprised me because I'm an adult and I'm 70. And I knew that I was going to lose her at some point. But when you're in a dysfunctional family, an alcoholic family like that, at least in our case, my mom is always my protector.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
And there was a part of me, not the grown adult Greg, but there was a part of my psychology when my mom passed that realized that my protector in this world was gone. Wow. And I ended up, I was twice in the hospital with heart issues. Really? That were not heart issues. They kept saying, Mr. Braden, there's- Psychological issues. Well, they call them somatic now, which was very kind.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
But it was funny. I mean, they went through all the tests and they said, Mr. Braden, you're really, really healthy. I said, there's nothing wrong with your heart. And I said, well, what am I feeling? And they said, the somatic, well, this is the doctor. He would come in and say, there's nothing wrong with you. I don't know why you're here in this hospital. I was in the ER.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
He said, I know why you're here in the ER. And then he left. A nurse came in. The first thing she did, she looked at me. Listen, she said, what's happening in your life? And I started to say the words, I just lost my mom. And I couldn't even get those words out. And I was just sobbing. I wasn't even crying. It was like gasping sobs. And she said, you're dealing with unresolved grief.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
And I said, okay, yeah, I know that. No surprise there. She said, grief? Not grief isn't bad, but the unresolved grief can actually have a physical influence on the little muscles in the chest around the heart. And if you don't know any better, and it's good to get it checked out. She said, you think you're having an episode, a heart episode. She says unresolved grief.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
I went to a grief counselor and went away and never came back.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
through grief counseling, redefining, and it's different for everyone. For me, I had to find a sense of safety, knowing that my protector was no longer in the world. And I say that because I know I'm not the only one. Other people have that experience, but that's how deep and how lasting those kinds of experiences go in our lives. The ability to resolve grief is a facet of human divinity.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
Well, I'm going to answer it in two ways. And this is not separate from this conversation we're having about human divinity. And I'm going to tie back into what we're now exploring. I just want to give context and structure here. We're exploring, getting into the nitty gritty of the power of human divinity and why we want it and what happens if we give it away.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
If we give our humanness away, we no longer have the abilities that I'm going to share right now. So this is, it's part of the conversation. So first of all, when someone feels that, it's always good to get it checked out because you don't know. You cannot determine unless it's happened in the past and you recognize this is exactly what happened in the past. You really can't determine.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
It's terrifying. It's scary. It is. It is. It is. And fortunately, we live in a city where we had, it's a small, Santa Fe, New Mexico. It's not a big 80,000 people. You know, it's not a big community, but we had, and I had good medical care. To answer the question, we have to understand what's really happening.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
Every emotion that we've ever had in our lives from the moment, even before we emerged into the world through the birth canal, while we're still in the womb, Every emotion that we're having has a chemical equivalent that is called... Candice Pert was the first Harvard-trained medical physician that linked emotion and chemicals in the body in a scientific way. Wow.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
I had the honor of knowing her before she passed in 2013. She wrote a book called Molecules of Emotion. I'm sure a lot of your viewers are familiar with that. And she identified these chemicals are called neuropeptides. Neuropeptides typically will be created by the emotion and they metabolize through the body. No big deal. Unless we're having an emotion that we can't resolve.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
Then the neuropeptides, our bodies are so smart. The neuropeptides will stay in the body. The body will actually store the neuropeptides, and this is where it gets really interesting, in the organs, tissues, and glands that we associate with our trauma. And everyone has trauma. And everyone's trying your trauma. You might have a trauma. And I look at it and say, what's the big deal?
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
Because my filters interpret it differently. Or I would have a trauma and and you would look at it and say, come on, Greg, you know, suck it up and get over it because your filters are different. But we all have trauma and it's personalized. And those neuropeptides will stay with us 10 minutes or 70 years until we have the tools to resolve the the trauma.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
Sometimes they'll give you a little nudge to let you know they're still there. It might be a little irritation, might be a rash on the body or inflammation or swelling. And we will take a pill or put on a cream to make the symptom go away. But that neuropeptide is still there. And then they'll say, well, maybe you need a little bit more.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
a little bit more of a nudge, and then we start developing symptoms of things that we call illness and disease. This is so fascinating to me because the science is showing us rarely do our bodies break. Rarely do we have illness and disease. in the way we think we have it.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
What we are experiencing is our body in the presence of the conditions, the epigenetic conditions that we've given it to work with. It can be nutrition, it can be environment, and the most powerful environment is the emotional environment. Over 90% is the emotional environment. So rather than saying our bodies are broken,
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
which ruins the trust that we have in our bodies, it's useful to say, what am I giving my body to work with? What is the environment, the emotion? And sometimes the emotional environment is a subconscious. In my case, it was subconscious. I had a subconscious fear of not being safe.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
Well, it makes sense because the first seven years averaged first seven years of a human life, we are in an altered state of consciousness. It's actually called a hypnagogic state is the term that psychologists use where we have very few of any filters. We are absorbing behavior patterns from our caregivers. This is nature's way of preparing us for life.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
Nature believes that we're going to be in the same environment that our parents are So we learned from our parents how to deal with conflict and how to treat people that you like and how to treat people you don't like. We mimic them. We do. Consciously and subconsciously. Consciously, those are the programs up until the age of seven. The Jesuits knew this.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
Maybe you've had other speakers talk about this. They would say, give us your sons, because it was a male organization. Give us your sons until the age of seven and they'll be ours forever. Wow. So what they meant, give them to us for this first seven years.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
They can go home to you, but they won't want to because they will be indoctrinated into the patterns of the Jesuits and their home life will no longer make sense. That's an example of how powerful those first seven years of life are. It's the programming, right? It's the programming. So the neuropeptides can stay in the body forever. as long as they need to.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
And there are techniques, breathwork techniques, heart-brain coherence. I know my brother Joe Dispenza, he and I have taught together, and we use these techniques. There are all kinds of body EFT and, you know, body memory therapy, and that's a whole conversation. But there are a lot of ways to resolve that.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
And it's fascinating to me because when we do resolve them through a breathwork session, for example, Those neuropeptides are made of chemicals in the body and elements, minerals. And you'll actually begin to taste metallic taste in your mouth or your urine. Your urine will smell funny because it's not the typical urine. These are chemicals.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
Or your tears or your perspiration will taste different and it'll smell different. You'll sweat and you'll smell different. when you're going through this because now those neuropeptides are metabolizing through the body, through body secretions.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
Body secretions. So it's tears, perspiration, saliva, sexual fluids, feces, all of those things is how we release. Wow. Oh, they've been fascinating. This goes back to the power. Human divinity is the part of us that's timeless, it's ageless, it's all-knowing. It is the part of us where our healing begins.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
And what the science is showing is that divinity doesn't live, those patterns don't live in our bodies. This is where it gets really, really interesting. It was already interesting, now it's gonna get really, really interesting. They don't live in the cells of our bodies.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
The cells of our bodies, the neurons, the DNA, and the cell membranes, literally our antenna, that tune us to an energetic place in the field that underlies all existence that we now know science confirmed it in the year 2012 at the The CERN superconducting supercollider, they actually announced it on July 4th in America, 4th of July, 2012, that there is a field that underlies all existence.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
2022, the Nobel Prize in Peace, no, in Physics. The Nobel Prize in Physics was given to the physicists that confirmed that in this field, everything's connected.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
It's an energetic field, and... And we are that field. Every human, the average human is about 50 trillion cells in the body, approximately, give or take. You've got more cells than I do because you're taller than I am. Oh, wow. And every one of those 50 trillion cells has about 100 trillion atoms. And every one of those atoms is doing this.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
It's emerging from that field and collapsing into that field every nanosecond of the day, like right this nanosecond. And as it emerges from the field, it is building our bodies to fit the template that we hold in our consciousness of who we are. And this is why healing is possible. This is why spontaneous healing is possible when we change the way we think and the way we feel.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
We change that blueprint. We change the template. And that information will now fill in a new and healthier blueprint. And this is all very well documented. I mean, the science knows the bits and pieces. Science is reluctant to. to bring them together because it tells a story that many scientists are reluctant to embrace. What's that? The story is that we are not what we've been told.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
We're more than we've been led to believe. And that is the essence of why I've written this book. Yeah. I'm going to answer that question for you right now. What I'm going to say is this, Lewis, there's something inside of us We humans, it is so powerful. It is so beautiful. It is so ancient. It is so precious.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
That there are organizations in the world today, and there always have been, societies in the past that will go to any length to shield us from that part of ourselves because that's where we find our power. When we are in our power, we are less vulnerable to fear.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
And fear, I think you'll agree, is probably the greatest commodity in a world that is moving toward the ability to create authority and centralize that authority. In the world, that is our divinity. This is why we are the prize. We are literally the prize.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
And I want to make this conversation relevant to our viewers because so many people, they write to us and we see the comments and say, okay, you know, these conversations are cool. What's that have to do with the world? And what's that have to do with my life right now? Yeah, the world out there. So here's what it has to do with the world that we're living in.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
That part of us that is so beautiful, powerful, ancient, precious, is the reason for everything we're seeing happening in the world. Those powers that be will stop at nothing to distract us and keep us diverted. Nations will go to war with nations. Economic systems will be collapsed. Pandemics will be unleashed. Climate will be engineered.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
Nations will rise and fall, all in an effort to distract us. Wow. Because we are the prize. The human body is the prize because our humanness is the link to our divinity. This is why I began talking about an ancient battle. There is an ancient battle between good and evil. And evil means different things to different people. But the ultimate evil is to shield a human from their divinity.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
When we are kept from our divine nature, our ability to love fearlessly, to forgive, to heal, to imagine, to innovate, to create, that is a form of evil. And that's a form that is playing out right now in this 2030 window of time.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
is the window of time when it is proposed that our humanness, our biology be replaced with technology, with AI, with computer chips, chemicals in the blood that mimic the systems that we do with synthetics, computer chips in the brain linking us to the computers now. And It's a very different way of thinking.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
Now, I'm a systems thinker, so I look at the big picture so that I understand where the nanosecond of my life fits into that big picture, and then I let it go. We don't have to know any of this, but I want people to know that what we're seeing, and it's not a crazy world. It's insane. It's not crazy. There is a method. There's a system. There's a process. And it won't last forever.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
It's this little window of time where you're seeing the powers that be jockey for position. And our humanness is a problem. Wow. Because we are such powerful beings. Nobody's telling our kids that. Our kids are being told that they're flawed forms of life, that they need something outside of themselves. to be the best version of themselves and to compete in business and compete in the world.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
So our kids are willing to give themselves away to virtual reality, to computer chips and I mean, I had some young people in one of my courses earlier. It was in the summer. And we were talking about Neuralink, the chip that the FDA just approved from Elon Musk. This is his company. And it allows a human without any wires at all to communicate directly with the hard drive on their computer.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
here's these young kids in the room and they're saying, this is cool. They're saying, Mr. Braden. And I said, no, please, Greg. And they said, okay, Greg. I said, I'm only 70. I'm not a Mr. Braden yet. They said, are you telling me that all I have to do is put a computer chip in my brain and I can play Grand Theft Auto with no wires?
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
I can think, no controls. Sweet. Or there's some other words they use, but sweet. Right, right, right. Sweet was a lot of it because they don't realize the biological imperative. There is an adage in biology that says use it or lose it. Perfect example.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
When I was back in the 50s and 60s, I was taught, and you probably were when you were young as well, that we were born with a fixed number of neurons in the human brain. And so this was leverage in college. You know, when you're in college, every beer you drink, you're going to lose some neurons, so you better not drink too many beers. You know, this is what they're saying.
The School of Greatness

But now we know up until the last breath. The hippocampus in the human brain is creating new neurons, but there's a catch. Every time those neurons are created, they must be engaged in a meaningful way within about seven days or they will atrophy and die. So that is true for all the systems in the body. We are a biological system that works on demand.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
If we don't use our systems, then they begin to atrophy. So you begin to replace the human brain with computer chips. Or here's a study, an actual study that was done. Young kids, three, four, five years old, get up in the morning, they eat their bowl of Cheerios or whatever it is. Their parents sit them on the floor with an AI visor and they leave them there for a few hours.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
And here's what's happening. In that AI world, they're seeing stuff they would never see in their backyard with their friends. They're hearing sounds. They're seeing images, colors. And what has happened, this has gone on long enough now that psychologists are able to do the studies. Those young people are, their physical stature is demented. Their brain size is stunted.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
Their cognitive development is stunted. Their visual cortex is enlarged because look at what they're doing. They are simply watching rather than engaging in creating. When you and I were kids, I mean, We'd go out, we'd take a blanket off the bed.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
Yeah, we'd make a tent and make a fort. And all of a sudden we've got a fort and we're using our imagination. They're not doing, they're just watching it all done for them. And so the psychology magazines are actually showing that. And it can all be reversed through epigenetics so that they're not lost. But it's showing that it's not harmless. There is an impact, there is an effect.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
And it's another example. When our biology is replaced with technology, the gift of our humanness begins to atrophy in many different ways in one generation. Next generation comes along through epigenetics. Now it's passed down and the body says, oh, We don't do those functions anymore.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
We used to, but it's a vestige of our past because now we've got a chemical to create the immunity in our bodies, for example. And that's something that's actually proposed right now. Right now, policies are being written. Laws are being enacted. to implement many of these technologies in our bodies. And the term, there's a general term for this, Lewis, it's called transhumanism.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
Trans simply means beyond, and human is our biology, so it's beyond our biology. And I did an interview recently and someone asked, I said, well, isn't this a part of our natural evolution? It's not. Not a part of our natural biological evolution. It is a form of a technological evolution that's not good for us.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
It's not good for us humans because we lose the very essence of what it is that we cherish in our humanity. We lose our ability to love, forgive, sympathy, empathy, compassion. we lose the ability to discern rather than judge. We're taught to judge, but the healing comes from our ability to discern. Wow. We lose all of those things when we begin to give our humanness away.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
So we've just covered a whole lot of ground. I'm going to come back. There's a concerted effort right now in these next few years to diminish the power of our humanness. One of the ways that's being accomplished is by us either being encouraged or mandated. Some of the policies will be mandates coming from the UN through our United States Congress.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
They're going the legal route to accept technology into our bodies to replace our humanness. When we do that, we relinquish that precious, ancient, and sacred gift that we were given when the first of our kind stepped onto this planet 200,000 years ago. You know, we've only been here 10,000 generations. 200,000 years is not that long.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
You can start with the easy questions first.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
And we were given these abilities given to no other form of life. And now we're being taught and indoctrinated to believe that we are flawed, powerless victims of a world that we have no control over and that we need something outside of us.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
So the flip side of this now, in the new science, and this is exciting, is showing us, wow, that we are literally a highly advanced, technologically sophisticated, soft technology. Neurons. One of the reasons that science is beginning to think of us, maybe some of your guests have talked about this, is
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
is that we've been conditioned to think of our biology is this soft, gooey, sticky, wet stuff, you know, inside the cells. And that is one way of thinking of us. But now the scientists are looking at us from a perspective of information technology. These are IT perspectives. And so the discoveries, they're not showing up in biology books.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
They're showing up in engineering journals like IEEE, you know, in these engineering. Who's reading those? I mean, my community is not reading. But let me just give you an example. There was the Journal of Advanced Computing Technology, which I don't read and most of my colleagues don't as well, unless we're researching a book or something.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
came out with an article and it showed that human DNA is literally a fractal antenna is the term that they use. So what's that mean? We think of antenna as being tuned to something very specific, like a specific TV station or radio station or CB station or whatever. Fractal antenna are receiving multiple signals from a broad spectrum of bandwidth simultaneously.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
There's an emerging philosophy in the scientific community right now, I think, that will help to answer that question. This is completely unscripted. I don't know where we're going. I'm going to follow your lead on this. So I'm going to begin by sharing that philosophy. And it begins with a statement that simply says that consciousness informs itself through its creations.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
We're pulling in information from the world around us all the time across this broad spectrum, and we're transducing it into meaningful signals in our bodies. That's a very different way of thinking of the human body. So I'll just run through this really quick. What the science is showing, 50 trillion cells in the body. Every cell is a miniature, a micro circuit.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
It's a gated circuit is what engineers call it. It's got input, output. All the functions within our cells, they function as transistors, as resistors, as capacitors that are massaging. That information, every cell has a voltage of about 0.07 volts.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
Say, well, that's not very much, but you do the math, 50 trillion times 0.07 is over 3 trillion volts, 3.5 trillion volts of electrical potential, which is- In our bodies. In our bodies. Now, we don't actualize it all the time, but what if you could harness that? for your own healing or to optimize, optimize cognition, optimize whatever it is we're going to do in our lives.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
But it doesn't stop there because we're receiving photons of information. We're transmitting photons of information. We already said the DNA in our bodies, our DNA stores information. And let me just use the terminology and see if you've heard this before. The DNA in our bodies stores every successful genetic transaction in our species in a way that's transparent, it is immutable, and it's secure.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
And if that sounds familiar, it should, because that is the basis for what is the new financial system of the world, the decentralized financial system we call blockchain technology. Blockchain technology mimics the way information is stored in the DNA of our body. Really? So once again, I'm saying all of this that we build around this is mirroring what we already do in our bodies.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
They compared a human brain... to a microprocessor, the Salk Institute in La Jolla is where this actually, I'm doing this from memory, Salk Institute in La Jolla. And the way they did it, for our techie engineers out there, is they equated the synapse in the human brain between neurons to the transistors on the chip. And interestingly, the numbers are very similar.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
On a modern microprocessor, it's about the same number of synapses we have in the brain. Then they did the studies, and what they found is the human brain is 100-fold faster than the processors. Here's the beauty of where this goes. All of those computer chips, man, they're fast. They're accurate, hands down. But are they scalable? They can only scale.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
as far as the limit of the physics of the stuff they're made of allow. So if it's a silicon chip, the atoms are in predetermined geometric patterns that make silicon, and information can only move so fast across those. So fast, yes. Efficient, yes. Scalable, not so much. Now, human neurons, every time they push a human neuron, to the edge of the limit that has been accepted in the textbooks.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
We do what humans do. The neurons morph and they adapt and open up an entire new vista of processing capability. And we do this again and again and again. What is the upper limit of a human neuron? We don't know. We may be infinite when it comes to scalability. That's soft technology. And it goes on from there. I'm just giving a couple of examples. I know I'm covering all the ground.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
And we break that down, what it means is the things that we build in the world around us, everything from the books that we write and the art, the sculpture, the dance, certainly the music,
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
Can I share one more? Go ahead, go ahead. This is really exciting and then we'll pull this together. There was an experiment that was done in 2022 and some of our viewers may be old enough To remember the computer game that I'm going to reference, 1972, a game called Pong, P-O-N-G, was released. Today it looks primitive. It is essentially a tennis game, a badminton game.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
Two little blocks going up in one ball, and one ball, and it's going like this. People were fascinated when that game first came out. So here's what happened. Scientists took human neurons... independent from the body and put them into a petri dish. So they're not even attached to a human.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
And they have a special chip where the little dendrites, the little tentacles, if you will, from the neuron will fit into a port on the chip. So now you've got a chip and a neuron interface. And they were able to hook that up to a computer that was loaded with Pong. Well, guess what? These neurons started playing the game Pong. But listen, they knew how to play.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
And the longer they played, the better they got. They learned. So here's the question now that the scientists have to ask. How does a neuron... not attached to a human in a Petri dish know how to play Pong? Are the instructions stored in the neuron? The answer is no. And this is going to go back to what we said earlier.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
The neuron is the antenna that tunes to the place in the field where Pong lives in our Some people call it an Akashic record or they call it the plant field or zero point field or the divine matrix or the matrix, whatever you want to call it. There is a field that underlies all existence and that field is information. So in the experiment, the neuron was the antenna connected to Pong.

are entertainment in some respects, and beyond that, that they are reminding us, they're telling us something about ourselves that we are asking ourselves to either remember or perhaps learn for the very first time. And if this is true, Lewis, it applies to technology as well. I'm a scientist by degree, a systems thinker.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
In our lives, the neurons in our brain and the neurons in our hearts and in every organ of the body, they've now been found, connect us to that field. When we replace our natural biology with synthetics and we no longer are using those neurons and we're no longer using DNA, we're still human. And we can still function, but we've lost our divinity.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
We've lost our ability to love, forgive, to initiate our own healing, innovation, imagination, creativity. This is the essence of our humanness. This is why we're the prize, because when we lose those, we are vulnerable. to power, control, and other people's ideas of what our world and our lives should look like. The transhuman movement is the movement to do just that.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
Can you see where that would be now based on everything? That's where I wanted to cover those experiments.
The School of Greatness

How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
And that is the essence of our humanness. We have conscious stories and unconscious stories. I had an unconscious story that I am not safe in the world without my protector. I was not consciously aware of that. So that inner conversation is vital. It's more than important. It's vital. Our story defines the way that we are in the world.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
So we live our lives based upon our story, the way we're conditioned to think about ourselves. Everybody has a story that begins before we're even born in our mother's womb. The epigenetic factors are determining our subconscious story. the way that our friends and our family and our peers and our school and our church teach us to deal with the world. That's all part of our story.

How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
And based upon our story, our story defines every relationship we'll ever have. This is an adult audience, I'm assuming. So every relationship, every friend that we'll ever have, every human that we invite into our bed is a reflection of the story that we have told ourselves about ourselves and believe. This is the key. What story do you believe?
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
Many people tell themselves stories, but they don't even believe their own stories. Those are called affirmations. You can say the affirmations a million times a day if you don't believe that you are worthy of a perfect mate, if you don't believe that you're worthy of the healing.

What you just described is the workshop of life. That's where the workshop begins. But the workshop has to begin with the story, Lewis. We are not what we've been told. We're more than we've been led to believe. We need the reasons to think differently about ourselves. I can walk into an audience and I can say, you're powerful beings. And I've seen it a million times with a million speakers.

How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
People have a notebook just like you have right there. Yep. And they write just like you're writing right now. And they'll say, I am powerful. I'm a power. And then they'll look up and say, yeah, what's next? Because it meant nothing. But if they don't believe it. Exactly.

if someone is looking for the reason to think differently they're saying greg give me a reason to think differently about myself i'm sharing with you in the book a lot more detail but i'm sharing the science that that shows us that we are a soft technology we're not a frail uh biological flawed biological form of life subject to flaws we have very very few flaws our body performs

How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
with what it's given to work with. Our body is a reflection. Candice Peart, the Harvard MD said this. The molecules of emotion. Molecules of motion.

The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
At that time, and even to this moment, I have yet to see any technology built in the world around us that does not mimic what we already do in the cells and the systems of our body. And in many cases, we meet and exceed the capacities. We do it better. Really? So the answer to your question about what is it that we're about to give away, our humanness is under attack right now.

So I, as a child, had to reconcile what I felt, what I would call my soul compass, because it wasn't supported in my community. People didn't talk like this when I was a kid.

Can I share a couple of stories? Go ahead. Yeah. Two very powerful stories. An experience when I was 14. So now I've left home. I'm living with my band. And I go see my first rock concert. It was a group that was called Jefferson Airplane. And the lead singer was this stunningly beautiful woman named Grace Slick is her name. She's still alive today.

How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
And I sat on the front row and yelled at Grace Slick and told her how much I loved her. And she completely blew me off. But I watched in that room, there were about 30,000 people.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
And I watched them moved by what a couple of people did on that stage. But here's, here's the thing. The concert was over and we left. And everyone needed to have something to recreate that experience. At that time, there were eight-track tapes or albums. They needed something to recreate that. Now, a couple of weeks later, I have another experience.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
And I'm not saying I'm aligned with the message. There was an evangelist named Billy Graham, a powerful, powerful speaker. He spoke to 70,000 people in the Kansas City Athletics Stadium, outdoor stadium. And here's the difference, when those people left, they felt differently about themselves.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
They didn't need anything to recreate the feeling because his words had helped them to sense and to feel and to see themselves differently than they did before they went in to hear that. What I recognized as a kid, I don't know exactly how I'm going to do this, but I think there is a way our words, The words are so powerful.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
I mean, when you think about what we do with words, we breathe the breath from outside of us. We invite it into our bodies. We begin to flutter our diaphragm. We push the air back.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
over the direction it just came down from, and as it's moving back, we begin to flutter our vocal cords in just the right way, listen to this, to reflect the thoughts and the feelings that we're having as acoustic waveforms so they can leave our bodies and fall on the skin and onto the eardrums of another living being to convey our deepest, most intimate experiences.

That's the beauty of our humanness and our divinity. We have the ability to choose. We must accept the responsibility with that choice that we choose to not to be defined by our past. That was a choice. It was a conscious choice I made when I was young. I looked at my father's life. I looked at the destruction, the emotional destruction. I looked at what it was doing to me.

And I said, now my younger brother, and I love my brother. And if he's watching this, I haven't talked to you for a while, brother, but I love you.

You know, you're looking around you for the reasons And that is a fundamental shift in understanding our relationship to the world. We must choose, consciously or subconsciously, I'm not saying it's always a conscious choice, but on some level we choose to be defined by the circumstances of the past, or we choose to free ourselves.

If we don't have our human divinity, the ability to innovate, to imagine, to create, to love, These are all facets of human divinity.

Because once we relinquish our humanness to the technology, we'll never get it back. Once we give our humanness, once we give our biology away, we'll never get it back.

And if you're going to do a soundbite, maybe this is going to be the soundbite because not everybody's into the good and evil. Not everybody's into the technology and all of that. It comes down to love. The question that we all ask ourselves, do we love ourselves enough to accept the gift of our humanness
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
And the responsibility that comes with being a human and our divinity, expressing our divinity fearlessly in this world. That's the question we're all asking ourselves. And without a verbal answer, the choices that we make, the politics that we choose, the medical systems that we choose, the food that we eat, the wars that we create, or the peace that we create are the answer to that question.

We're all answering it right now, but how can you answer it if you don't know the context? So I'm going to go back. Good and evil. A battle between good and evil. This is a very different battle.

and the way you triumph and this is the beauty you don't have to know any of this the way we triumph is by living the best version of ourselves we live our humanness we live our divinity we love fearlessly we innovate we create we forgive without expectation when we do that forgiveness we do all of those things and by doing that that is the very opposite the evil wants

Our human experiences of empathy, sympathy, compassion, the ability to self-regulate our own biology, these are seen as flaws. And for young people, if they are flaws, it means we need a savior.

So many people believe that there is no choice because they have been conditioned and indoctrinated to believe that they are powerless victims of a world around them that they have no control over and that they are a flawed form of life that needs something outside of their bodies.

At the age of 14, I left The court intervened and said, you have to go back until you're 18 or you become a ward of the state. So I went back. We lived in government subsidized housing. And it's one of those things, you can hear the words from a million different people. You have to find a reason to become more than the circumstances of your past. You have to find that reason for yourself.

And that's why the information, it's more than just data. When I can show someone the potential within their bodies to look at it differently, when I can show someone what their divinity is really all about, and that it's so valuable that nations will create wars to divert and distract us, what is it within us that could possibly warrant that extreme of hurt and suffering?

So the idea, this 2030, this was reflecting a statement by Ray Kurzweil. Ray Kurzweil, I think some of our viewers know, he's an author, he's a visionary, he's a futurist. He is heading up AI research at Google right now. And he made two statements that I think are relevant to this conversation.

How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
It's because we are so valuable and so precious. I can tell you another story. I have no idea how we're doing on time.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
And then the story will fit into this as well.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
To recognize that that potential is there and that we are rare and precious and beautiful and ancient and sacred form of life. No one's telling our young people that at all. You know... We see this in religious traditions where the human body is often called the temple. You see that.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
And in biblical traditions, other traditions, from that perspective, if someone is biblically inclined, I think it's 1 Corinthians 13, I think, that says, no, ye not, that ye are the temple of God. What does that mean? Well, When we go to Egypt, we go to Greece, we go to many of these ancient civilizations, when they build temples, they build them in layers.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
And the innermost sanctum is where the most precious secrets and the wisdom are always kept. For example, the Ark of the Covenant in Solomon's temple wasn't like by the doorway when you walk in. You had to go through layers.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
Chambers. And only certain people were allowed in there. Well, from that perspective, if the human body is a temple. Those ancient traditions, that innermost sanctum is called the Holy of Holies is the term that's given, the Holy of Holies. It's where the Ark was kept and Solomon's temple. We as a temple, as a human body temple, have not one Holy of Holies. We have 50 trillion.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
holy of holies, because the nucleus of every cell in our body holds the information that reminds us that we are not what we've been told. We're so much more than we've been led to believe. And when you begin to think of yourself from that way, now I agree, if you're If you're down and out, broke, strung out, unemployed, I mean, these are big concepts.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
Who's got time for that when you're just... Yeah, it's hard to overcome that. But it's not impossible because we're human. We are human and we have a choice. And this is what sets us apart from all of the forms of life. Now, there are techniques that we teach. And some of your other guests have talked about these as well. For example... You can't change what's happened to us.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
I can't change the hurt from my past. And what I've experienced is nothing compared to what many of my brothers and sisters on this planet have experienced. The trauma creates the chemicals in the body. There are techniques to release that trauma. And once it's released chemically, then what remains is the emotional remedies.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
It doesn't make a lot of sense to go through the emotional remedies and within the context of chemical trauma in the body. So I would recommend.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
I would recommend exploring techniques to release the trauma. And what I have found most effective. We do this in our four-day programs. I'm not here to talk about that, but I want people to know these are available. There are forms of breathwork. The breathwork is a lubricant. It's an emotional lubricant that frees those neuropeptides to move through the body.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
First, he said, by the year 2030, which is only five years from now, I mean, we're just about the year 2025. He said by the year 2030, when we talk to someone on the street, we will no longer be talking to a pure human. We will be talking to someone who has either embraced or been mandated to have some kind of technology accepted into their bodies. So by 2030, we will be speaking to human hybrids.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
There are emotional freedom techniques, EFT, for some specific forms of trauma, tapping. The tapping, yeah. Techniques people have used. therapy can work to a limited degree. And I want to back that statement up. In 1991, scientists discovered 40,000 specialized cells in the human heart that I say discovered.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
They'd always been there, but no one thought to look because they're essentially neurons. Why would you look for a neuron that you know is in the brain? Why would you even look into the heart? Well, they found a neural network in the heart. Wow. So what that means is when we have trauma, we experience it in two places.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
And the neural network in the heart thinks, feels, remembers, and emotes independently of the cranial brain. So that means the trauma that we experience throughout our lives, including me in coming from an abusive alcoholic family, that trauma is instilled if it's unresolved in both places. So I can go to a therapist and talk about my trauma from the polarity of my left and right brain.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
That's the ego. And the brain, because it's a polarity organ, it does what it always does. The brain will always see your trauma Impolarity, good, bad, right, wrong, success, failure, worthy, not worthy. That's what the brain does. The beauty of being able to access trauma from the heart is the heart is not in polarity. And there are techniques called, for example, heart-brain coherence.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
Some of your guests have talked, I know my brother, Dr. Joe, He and I used to teach together. I was using my programs. He began using his programs. It was very successful. He's taken a light years beyond where we were working together in the past because it works.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
And when you can begin to experience the trauma without the judgment, the polarity of the rightness or the wrongness or the goodness, how could they do that to me? Or I was betrayed or how could she have done that? Or how could he? That's what keeps us locked in the trauma.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
Yeah. Well, that's the ego. That's the emotion. But to heal, we don't have to understand it. What we're doing is releasing it. And the beauty of the breath work, the beauty of the coherence work is that you don't have to say any words. You don't have to describe it to someone. You don't have to relive it.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
Because every time you relive that trauma, what you're doing is you're strengthening the neural network that's hanging on to that trauma. And really what you want to do is to free the neuropeptides that were created from that trauma. Chemically and physically. Yep. Yep.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
So to be able to release, physically release that trauma is where I personally, in my journey, what I'm describing to you is my journey. And from that, knowing that we are chemically free of the trauma, there is an emotional component that says, ah, you feel different. You feel a release. Oh, man.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
What I invite people to do in our four-day programs is take a picture of their own eyes before we go through this process. And the process involves what we're doing now. It's information to give them reasons to think differently. It's techniques and it's breathing and other things that go with that. And then take pictures afterwards. Now, I'm not saying it's easy. I mean, these people I respect.
The School of Greatness

Yeah, you've been through that. Of course. And through all that, their eyes clear, perfectly clear, bright and shiny. And they are so happy. And they say, my God, I didn't know. They're so accustomed to the burden of the trauma. They forgot what they are like in the absence of that burden.

And I can't change what happened. But I have worked, and I will. It's not an event. The healing is never an event. It's a process. It's a journey. It's a journey. We're already healed or we wouldn't be here. And we are seeking deeper levels of healing. And I think that's important for people to realize. Our bodies are wired to heal. We are constantly healing. Healing is our nature.

And here's the catch. There is a catch. They have to be given the environment to initiate that healing, to create that healing. And the environment is the emotional environment that has the greatest impact. We have to feel that we are worthy of that healing. Divinity is the reason for that worth. And we understand our divine nature. And it has, again, nothing to do with religion.
The School of Greatness

That's what we're talking about. You have to know that there is a possibility, another possibility. So just faith? No, it's not faith. A lot of people discount knowledge. They say, yeah, just tell me what to do. Tell me what to do. The knowledge is a code. Once you see a potential about your body, you can't unsee it. Now you have a choice. You can deny it. We have free will. We can deny divinity.
The School of Greatness
How To Awaken Your Divine Manifestation Power To Attract Anything | Gregg Braden
Everyone has divinity, but not everyone will express their divinity. We have the ability to deny our own divinity, and many people will. They will say they're not worthy, that they don't have the power. We can have our divinity taken from us by those who have power over us,

So I was raised in an environment where the abuser will typically belittle and criticize those around them to elevate their sense of worth. And fortunately, I was born with a very strong soul compass. I didn't believe what I was being told. I have a younger brother, four years younger, same household, same experience, you know, listening to the same things. And he's a good man.

And I love my younger brother. And we're like night and day. If you were in this room, we don't look alike. We certainly don't think alike. Wow. And unfortunately, he believed everything that he heard. And and has chosen to be defined in his life by that criticism.

And I can't say consciously when I made the decision, but I remember thinking I will not be defined by my father's idea of who I am because I was blessed, as again, with a strong soul compass. I'm not saying I did it all right. For me, in the 50s and 60s, music was my outlet. And I began playing guitar at eight, play it to this day. I'm a musician when I'm not doing what I'm doing right now.

And I left our home at the age of 14, which now I think is probably illegal, but I moved in with my rock band. And during that time, the drugs were abundant. And I watched beautiful, talented men and women. We had a female vocalist. I saw their lives destroyed in a matter of months through the chemicals that they, put into their bodies.

And, you know, Louis, I didn't know then obviously what I know now, but I always had a sense that there's something about us that is so rare and so beautiful. that we need to honor and respect this gift of the body. And I had a sense I would need this body for something later in life. And my friends didn't think that way. So it was hard to have these conversations. Sure.

But I was always looking to see what it is within me. How can I be the best version of myself? How can I serve this world? And I leave this world. I don't know how long I'm here. We never do. I feel good, and I think I'm here for a while.

But the day that I leave, when I look back, I want to know that I left no stone unturned, that I gave to and loved this world to the best of my ability, knowing what I know. And I do. I love this world and the people of this world. We're going through a tough time right now, man. It's a tough time. It's not just America. It's everybody in the world.

And what I want our viewers to know is it's not going to last forever. And it's not random. It's not spontaneous. There's a structure. We are moving rapidly toward the close of a cycle.

There are cycles within cycles. There are cosmological cycles that shift our planet. There are geologic cycles that I studied as a degree geologist. There are financial cycles, there are economic cycles, there are conflict and war cycles. And many people don't know that the conflict and war are actually driven by natural rhythms.

The magnetic fields of the sun influence the earth, they influence our heart rate variability, they influence our sleep patterns, they influence blood pressure, all those things. So they're all converging now. And they appear to be converging around the year 2030. Really? Why is that? Well, this is okay. This is... I don't know how deep you want to go. Go as deep as you want.

So to have that conversation... We need to tread on territory that many of my peers are not comfortable talking about. And I'm happy to do that. And I want to do it in a really good and a responsible way.

The year 2030, for example, the United Nations has identified 2030 as the year they want to remake society and remake the world through what are called the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, the World Economic Forum. is identified 2030 as the target date for their vision, their vision of what they want the world to look like. What is that vision for the World Economic Forum versus the UN?

It's the same vision. This is a very concerning relationship. So now we're covering a lot of ground. Let's just back up. WEF, World Economic Forum, independent, non-elected individuals. They started meeting in 1971. Davos, Switzerland, we all hear about the meetings every year that, you know, for a week you get little tidbits.

Yeah, you get little, well, they're CEOs of corporations. They're politicians. They're kings. They're queens. They're leaders of nations in many cases. And they've always meant to have their conversations about what they feel, what these elites feel that our lives and our world should look like. And they have every right to do that. No problem. Until 2019.

Now, the United Nations has had a series of programs beginning. They started, there was UN SDG, Sustainable Development Goals, SDG for the year 2000. Their 15-year plan that expired in 15, and now they're looking at another 15 years, which expires in 2030. They put together 17 sustainable development goals that on the outside, Lewis, are beautiful goals.

And when you look at these, if you go to the computer and go to the website, they are a list of 17 things. Who wouldn't want these in the world?

For example... Not all 17, but yeah. Yeah, food security. Who doesn't want food security? Global health for families, global health for children. Who doesn't want those things? Now you read the fine print of how they plan to achieve those goals, and it is horrendous. It is a remaking of social structure of family and society everywhere.
