The first tape was not indicative of the second tape. If I had not read the reviews, I never would have gotten to the second tape. The second tape was explosive. Most interesting was the information on the relationship of emotions/vibrations to the restructuring of our DNA. This helped me to understand how sick people can recover through, meditation, prayer, their own will, positive emotions, caring and surrounding themselves with people and situations that foster emotion and vibration. I highly recommend this tape to those seeking spiritual meaning to their lives.

Having studied Christian Theology, Joseph Campbell's work and the major religious philosophies, I must totally disagree with the READER FROM NEW YORK's review titled "Potentially Dangerous".. this material is awe-inspiring. Any scholar knows that the Bible, as we know it today was written and re-written by man with full intent to control the masses through fear and guilt and has worked marvelously for two millenium.... the material Braden is speaking of, newly found and still under study, The Dead Sea Scrolls, is the only known material that is concrete evidence of actual history. Braden has only cracked open the vessel holding this information and we are fortunate to have it to open our minds and our hearts to the beautiful value of this...it is a known fact that Jesus actually did exactly what the Isaiah scrolls speak of...and said that all others can do all of what he did and more....great learning here. Religionists love to control by fear and threats,,,don't let that stop you from learning what this material holds for you..Peace and love....

I can't say I was as impressed with this as I was with the above mentioned book. The first tape is mostly a review on the book and it can be nice for who hasn't read it or for who has read it long ago. So I did not get particularly impressed with it. The second tape, however, does contain some very good teachings and as I listened through my feelings went from disappointment (from hearing tape 1) to being impressed and enlightened. I will therefore recommend it both for who has read the

related book and for who hasn't.

If you are on a spiritual quest but have difficulty orienting yourself, I am convinced that you will find teachings in Beyond zero point.

This book/audio tape is incredible. Gregg Braden explains what we are all experiencing at this time and how to futher prepare ourselves for the shifts taking place. The information is based on scientific experiments as well. I am circulating the tapes among my friends and ordering more to send to others. This is information we all need to have.

Beyond Zero Point by Gregg Braden is a CD I will listen to several times to fully absorb all the information he imparts. For me, it emphasizes the importance of living in harmony with our Earth. The scientific data, well presented, supports what Gregg Braden says. I have two copies, one for myself, and one to share with close friends. Excellent. Wish I had a copy of the video Awakening to Zero Point.
I highly recommend this CD for anyone who is forward thinking and living in the now thinking.

Gregg's text is correct.

As if each person is represented by a grain of sand on one of the many beaches of the Earth. Every day the sun rises and shines upon and warms the sand pebbles. The sand pebbles know of that warmth only from their particular location and relation to their overall enviroment. They do not see the light from the same angle or feel the exact level of warmth as even the sand pebble which lays next to them. Each pebble is oblivious to every other pebble of sand on the beach, just as we can sometimes be to each other. They perceive the light and warmth as only they can. Though some sand lies on the same beach, and some sand lies on beaches on the other side of the earth. They are all sand, lit by one light, and warmed by one siglular source.

I have enjoyed this several times since I bought it. The concepts are not new, but given in another point of view. On CD it is easy to listen to and enjoy. Things that make you go hmmmmmmmm?!!

At this point, a lot of this info is "old news" (2005)
and for anyone who has read any of Gregg's other books, eg
The Lost Mode of Prayer, the background info is very similar and repetitive.
I'm sure when it first came out it was more impactful.

Stupid me thought it was the book, which was what I wnated. This was an audio book and very well done. A lot of good points were made. Still I would have frather had the book.

Braden bases much of his teaching on Gnostic texts (from the Nag Hammadi library) - which the early church apostles warned was heretical. Gnosticism was essentially a psuedo-christian cult - no different than many cults today who distort the truth of the Gospel. Braden also bases his teachings on the Essene text translations (from the Dead Sea Scrolls) of Edmond Bordeaux Szekely, which have been exposed as forgeries among scholars. Braden states that Jesus was an Essene - which there is absolutely no evidence of whatsoever. Jesus was clearly known as the son of Joseph in his hometown when he started his ministry, and had he been living in a self-exiled community for all those years, this wouldn't make sense at all. Not to mention that the teachings of Jesus were in sharp contrast to Essene traditions. Braden also states that Jesus didn't die - but yet he does believe that the shroud of Turin is authentic. The bible cleary tells us that Jesus was dead for three whole days, then ressurrected. Braden does an admirable job in trying to explain the physiological process that must have occurred in the ressurection. He also has an interesting take on Christian rapture teachings and end-time prophecy. But Braden never acknowledges Christ as savior by his blood sacrifice, and I'm sure he doesn't believe such a thing (as the Gnostics didn't).

I can only recommend this book to Christians who are knowledgable in their faith, who might find some interesting insights here. If you are not too familiar with what the bible teaches, then this book/audio can do more harm than good. If you are not Christian, this book will feed your mind with all sorts of seemingly wonderful ideas (see the other reviews) - and this is potentially very harmful ! Braden was the kind of teacher that Jesus and the apostles warned us about, who would deceive many (although perhaps unknowingly as his intentions seem to be good).
