Gregg has done a beautiful job explaining with great hope and love the connection between the world of spirituality and the world of science to explain the times we are currently living in. Rarely has anyone been able to wrap their arms around the "big picture" as well as he does. For those seeking answers and an understandable explanation for what is happening to the earth and her people, Gregg has put together a comprehensible, "mind/heart" picture that anyone can grasp once they have the awareness to sense that something truly is happening on the planet, and the courage to ask what it is. One could read numerous metaphysical/spiritual books and not come away with the understanding available in these tapes. Thank you, Gregg!

Gregg Braden's quiet but powerful presentation of his overview of the potential roles of those alive today as the 'Brige Generation' is truly inspiring and thought provoking. His former work in technological sciences lends itself to bring an element of credibility and cohesiveness to this collective of scientific facts and figures, personal observations and interactions, spiritual insights, and keen intellectual challenges that together invite the viewer to consider the opportunities that exist today for the healing of all things brought about by the reawakening of spiritual awareness and empathetic reconnection with the sacredness of all life. This vision of the current generation as the healing conduit for the restoration of balance and oneness is at once startling in it's simplicity and overwhelmingly grand in it's potential. Mr. Braden makes both concepts seem believable and acheivable.

Some interesting perspectives raised in this video but I feel that the attempts to invoke the authority of science had all the hallmarks of a con job. Once you hear a few demonstrably untrue assertions from Mr Braden you can't help but doubt the rest. Loose metaphorical connections were presented as hard scientific fact in what looked like an empty appeal for authority. I had the impression that Mr Braden was hiding behind evocative sounding jargon and piecing together a pseudo-scientific myth that he desperately wanted to believe.

Anyone who has had some scientific training will see that he uses the jargon in a strangely "dyslexic" fashion, as if he is a little unfamiliar with the material. Strange for a man claiming a former career in the earth sciences and aerospace engineering. That said, though, I think this man is sincere in what he believes and does walk his talk.

If you are interested in the interfaces of science and spirituality beyond lightweight analogies and tepid metaphor try reading "The Dancing Wu Li Masters" or "The Matter Myth" by Paul Davies. "A Brief History of Everything" by Ken Wilber is a good choice too. If you like your science strong and your metaphors tight and functional Mr Braden is not your choice. END

Gragg Braden presents himself as a scientist giving us a science lesson, but he sure does not behave or sound like a real scientist. Based on my knowledge and experience as a geologist, and on some quick research inspired by this video, I have trouble believing that even Braden himself completely believes what he is saying. He presents many total fabrications (his own or borrowed from others?) as "facts" and strings them together in ways that are intended to sound impressive to anyone unfamiliar with his subject matter. When he is presenting his "science," he almost never gives any references so an interested person can easily do some research to learn more. Is this because there's little or no substantiation for what he is presenting? One of his most significant errors is his presentation about the Schuman Resonance Frequency of the Earth which he claims is increasing dramatically . This alleged increase forms much of the basis upon which he builds his whole case for the Earth moving toward a "zero point." In fact, the University of California Berkeley Seismographic Station monitors this frequency approximately every 15 minutes, and long term records indicate that it is not changing. This information is available to anyone through their web site. Braden has zero credibility as far as I am concerned, and I would recommend that you not waste your time and money on this video. And, if this video is representative of the presentations in his books, they too are probably a waste of time and money.

Leads to understanding profound truths through a mix of eye candy and clear ideas, lags a teeny bit in places, but generally a magnet for ideas leading to AHA's. I loved it, as I do most of Gregg's productions.
