Deep Truth: Igniting the Memory of Our Origin, History, Destiny, and Fate [Hardcover]

Gregg Braden (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 15, 2011

 

The Crisis:

Best-selling author and visionary scientist Gregg Braden suggests that the hottest topics that divide us as families, cultures, and nations—seemingly disparate issues such as war, terrorism, abortion, genocide, poverty, economic collapse, climate change, and nuclear threats—are actually related. They all stem from a worldview based upon the false assumptions of an incomplete science.

 

The History:

The obsolete beliefs of our modern worldview have brought us to the brink of disaster and the loss of all that we cherish as a civilization. Our reluctance to accept new discoveries about our relationship to the earth, one another, and our ancient past keeps us locked into the thinking that has led to the crises threatening our lives today.

 

The Facts:

The scientific method allows for, and expects, new information to be revealed and assimilated into our existing beliefs. It’s the updating of scientific knowledge with the new facts from new discoveries that is the key to keeping science honest, current, and meaningful.

To continue teaching science that is not supported by the new discoveries—ones based upon accepted scientific methods—is not, in fact, scientific. But this is precisely what we see happening in traditional textbooks, classrooms, and mainstream media today.

 

The Opportunity:

Explore for yourself the discoveries that change 150 years of scientific beliefs, yet are still not reflected in mainstream thinking, including:

·         Evidence of advanced, near–ice age civilizations

·         The origin of, and reasons for, war in our ancient past, and why it may become obsolete in our time

·         The false assumptions of human evolution and of the Darwinian theory “Let the strongest live and the weakest die” and how this plays out in corporations, societies, warfare, and civilization today

Deep Truth reveals new discoveries that change the way we think about everything from our personal relationships to civilization itself. When the facts become clear, our choices become obvious.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truth's are relevant for specific eras. September 24, 2011

By Jane Connell

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

Interested in life?
Interested in science?
Interested in our world?

This book is so relevant for our time. As a retired biology teacher interested in spirituality this book contains volumes of information that speaks to me. I feel it's ring of truth for today. It's most difficult to keep pace with the massive volume of information present today. I am synthesizing as I progress trying to derive meaning from all the "apparent" chaos.
This guy is very good... he uses science to help us catch up so that some of the major problems facing humanity today may have a different point of reference based on the newest science fact. Paradigm shift might be an appropriate term. We are living in a huge lag time for scientific information. We are teaching out dated information and it's that information that keeps us bound in a time that is no longer functional for humanities healthiest survival.
For science people, math people and people interested in the latest truth from a scientific point of view.
For instance: Chimps have 48 chromosomes we have 46 it seems that there has been 2 chromosomes that have fused to make one for us. I found that most interesting. Especially how he reflects upon this information. The "truth" that DNA codes one code=one protein, no longer a truth. Just 2 of the facts he has woven into the fabric of this book. This just speaks volumes to me, personally, about how we cling to our out dated information. You know, as humans, we have a tendency to "own" our information. We are so fearful of being duped. We strive for the "truth" of it all many times kicking and screaming as we fear we might lose our hold on "our" truths.

A quote from Gregg Braden's newest book just released, "Deep Truth"
"We are drowning in information, while starving for wisdom. The world henceforth will be run by synthesizers, people able to put together the right information at the right time" This is a quote attributed to evolutionary biologist E. O. Wilson.

I highly recommend this book, Gregg Braden is a geologist/explorer and a synthesizer.
He brings to light much of the newest information and how it reflects on our world.
It's easy to read. If he uses the difficult science jargon he goes on to explain what it means in easy to understand terms. Gregg Braden is truly a "Deep Truth" thinker. I applaud his gift of synthesizing information for us during a very pivotal crucial time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Potentially the MOST IMPORTANT BOOK of the 21st Century December 15, 2011

By Robert Steven Thomas

Format:Hardcover

What lies ahead for mankind in this century? Will our advanced civilizations crumble under the pressure of the vast religious, scientific, economic, political and intellectual divide that is exponentially expanding among the people and nations of the world? Or can we find the collective strength, morality and will to modify these same forces, enabling humanity to raise our degree of evolution to a new higher level? If this second alternative comes to pass, "Deep Truth" will go down in history as one of the most important works of our time. It's going to join ranks with the other great modern contributions that will have historically marked our turning point. If the first, more likely alternative comes to be and the world implodes, the books ultimate standing is moot.
If you doubt this degree of divide exists among us, you have only to read the amount of angry polarization expressed in the book reviews that are posted here. As the author has eloquently expressed in "Deep Truth" -- The problems that currently exist have brought our world to the precipice of a major fork in its future. Moreover, the window of opportunity for us to make a well-reasoned, collective choice for the correct path to follow is narrow and rapidly closing. If we do not act fast the window will close and our fate will become sealed to the detriment of all intelligent beings. Contrary to the misguided-uninformed claims made by some of the reviewers here, this book is NOT "New Age." It is brutally harsh, honest-reality. It is firmly rooted in established science. Ignoring the significance of the case this book makes for the need to re-evaluate, modify and teach our understanding of history, evolution and the current world paradigm mandated by the modern Establishment will result in the collapse of civilization. The choice before us is no less critical and significant then the series of events that led to the medieval Dark Ages. Read this book. Send copies to anyone you know who has an open mind and a genuine interest in making a personal contribution to the future of humanity during their lifetime. I have spent 40 years of research and study in the subjects of discussion in this book. The information must be disseminated and adopted by a wider world-audience if we are to survive. It truly is that important.

1.0 out of 5 stars Paled by The Source Field Investigations October 9, 2011

By inayat2012 on youtube VINE™ VOICE

Format:Hardcover

(If you want to see a great video on you tube watch 'Gregg Braden Debunked')

This book is a minor work compared to David Wilcock's The Source Field Investigations: The Hidden Science and Lost Civilizations Behind the 2012 Prophecies. Simply, this is a New Age book, part shallow survey of studies, part invented 'deep truths'.

From the book:

"Deep Truth One: Our ability to defuse the crises threatening our lives and our world hinges upon our willingness to accept what science is revealing about our origins and history."

It's sounding like Gregg wants us to follow science the way folks followed the church for centuries and that resulted in the Dark Ages. Science is still clinging with white knuckles to the linear evolution, 'we are the best ever', crossing the Siberian land bridge, and all that malarkey. And just because some studies are bucking the trend does not mean you should give your power away to ANY institution to just follow blindly. In this book you are not being taught how to think. If you want to pickup a deep truth it is this, to thine own self be true, trust your own insights, not papers (or books) written by others who have agenda (or books) to sell.

Is it a deep truth to realize that science and government are not disclosing what they really know about our past or anything else really? Nope. If there is money to be made or other agendas to fulfill then truth will be kept under tight wraps. The Disclosure Project, Graham Hancock, David Wilcock, and especially Nassim Haremein, all point to deeper conclusions. Collating some of your own conclusions by reading others research neither constitutes a good book or deep truth.
.
.
"Deep Truth 3: The key to addressing the crises threatening our survival lies in building partnerships based upon mutual aid and cooperation to adapt to the changes, rather than in pointing fingers and assigning blame, which makes such vital alliances difficult."

Ok, that's better, but is that a 'Deep Truth'? Didn't your mother teach you that growing up? When I think Deep Truth, I think universal truth.

There is no deep truth in this book. This book is some kind of preachy manifesto as to what is wrong from the viewpoint of science intersecting social trends. This isn't even in Greggs core audience demographic. If he is trying to make a socio-political statement then he needs to re-label the book with something like 'My ideas for making the world a better place'. You are not getting into deep truths with this kind of stuffing. At it's best the highest talk in this book is kinda like a light advertisement from mega trend books from 1980s like Future Shock, The Third Wave, and Megatrends: Ten New Directions Transforming Our Lives.
.
.
"Deep Truth 2: The reluctance of the mainstream educational systems to reflect new discoveries and explore new theories keeps us stuck in obsolete beliefs that fail to address the greatest crises of human history."

From Future Shock (back in 1984): "It would be a mistake to assume that the present-day educational system is unchanging. On the contrary, it is undergoing rapid change. But much of this change is no more than an attempt to refine the existing machinery, making it ever more proficient in the pursuit of obsolete goals. The rest is a kind of Brownian motion, self-canceling, incoherent, directionless."

The above was written in the mid-1980s. And now the author is going to bring up something known as common place from nearly 30 years ago as a new found 'Deep Truth' ?! C'mon.
.
.
If you like Alberto Villoldo, Wayne Dwyer, and other similar Hay House authors you might like this book. [Alberto's books are better than this.] But if you are looking for some real information it's not here.

If you want to be blown away by a volume of real research then David's The Source Field Investigations: The Hidden Science and Lost Civilizations Behind the 2012 Prophecies will make this book look like a rushed outline.

If you want some serious insights into past civilizations then Joseph Farrell has crafted a fine a detailed survey here The Grid of the Gods: The Aftermath of the Cosmic War and the Physics of the Pyramid Peoples

If you are just getting into metaphysics and have never read this book then there are really deep truths waiting here The Universe Is a Green Dragon: A Cosmic Creation Story

If you want solid information from physics that challenges paradigms then you should spent time with Nassim Haremein as in Black Whole.

If you want deep truths from a Native American perspective then these are among the best Being and Vibration and Sound: Native Teachings and Visionary Art of Joseph Rael
