If we are all one on the same journey what is left is the choosing of our personal possibility out of all the possibilities and then recognizing that while we have free will and own our choices, we are still on the same journey as each other aspect of ourselves which amounts to the billions who occupy our planet at this time and space. To forgive oneself is to forgive everyone and thus to save the planet. Gregg Braden is a knowledgeable teacher of the simplicity of our complicated planet and in compassion for ourselves lies the hope of all of us. The science of compassion is only the forgiveness of ourselves. He is fascinating and makes so much sense that even skeptics have to stop and wonder. Thank you, Gregg, for quitting your 9 to 5 to give us all 24.

This book gave me the opportunity to understand what happens to all of us who are in the "caring" occupations. Healthcare, nursing, etc. It provided insight into how to connect commpassionately all day every day and not become discouraged, bitter, or disheartened at all the pain and struggles in the world. It gave me hope and clarity into my own dealings with myself. A wonderful stretch of the mind and heart.

I found this book to be a great hand book on life. However, one must really wade through some of Mr. Bradens poetic writings such the liquid crystalline essence we call life, to get the point. Once the wading is accomplished the ideas presented are really a way to make getting through life bearable. I actually am looking foreward to reading this book again. Thank you Mr. Braden for sharing your knowlage.

A remarkable journey home, only to realize that we have been there all while. The Words in this book walk the Soul (clearly & gently) along the pathway of Life's experiences, showing that compassion is the Way. Life is a Miracle, blooming from this book, from the beautiful symbolic drawings to the Soul Love Lessons etched in wonder. The Soul takes a deep breath knowing It's finally Home.

I must admit that I'm typically the fiction book reader. A friend loaned me this book over a year ago. I decided to give it a shot before returning it unread. Once I started reading I was hooked. I felt like this book must have been written for me exclusively. I plan on buying lots of copies and giving them away. I would encourage anyone to read this book and find your life changed immensely.

The relationship and knowledge transmitted from the essenes is refreshing. This is much better than his last book, Zero Point, which was supported a zany apololyptic ttheory with little evidence. Here there is a much softer feel and stronger message, though I'm a bit puzzled how compassion can be or is a science Read LightShift 2000 by Ken Kalb if you would like to see the ideals to of compassion brilliantly put into action.

Quotes from The Gospel of Thomas (Nag Hammadi Library) set off a series of seven relationship "mirrors" which Braden explains and lusciously illustrates with personal examples. Learn, here, how to read: 1. the Moment, 2. my Judgements, 3. the meaning of Loss, 4. the Most-Forgotten Love, 5. my Father/ Mother/ God issues, 6. the Quest, and, 7. the Greatest Act of Compassion--to master the emotional challenge of walking between the worlds.

The author appears sensitive, intelligent, caring and pretty sensible. Probably an excellent counselor. I consider the book very good to excellent. The wretched grammar and often unclear sentence structure are disconserting, to say the least. The attractive format certainly gives no clue to the very, very poor editing.

I like Greg Braden bit his other books are more interesting. I don't remember the titles now as this is a stressful time and nothing stays in my mind.

Braden goes on another chain of erroneous logic based on "channeled literature,"
the fraudlant literature of Carlos Castaneda, Emerald Tablets, Alice Bailey and the Satanic Gnostic texts. He aims to convince the reader that they are really God and that they just forgot, and that we can all be God through compassion. Which is pure misrepresentation and perversion of the 'ancient teachings'. He makes all sorts of claims with no evidence to back them, about the physiological evidence of the anti-aging benefits of compassion without citing any form of peer reviewed studies. His incoherent rants about the 64 DNA CODONS are laughable, and not grounded in biological reality whatsoever. Humans do not possess all 64 Codons! 64 codons exist as map for DNA to RNA to protein transcription for all species possessing eukaryotic DNA. Get the biology straight and stop propegating rumours. Braden pitches his conjectures about DNA are the truth instead of explaining the true scientific facts. Rather than adding to the body of science, he exploits, twists, and changes scientific theory to suit his needs. Any genuine scientist worth his salt would be extremely skeptical if not cynical about this new age drivel.....Let's all embrace Ignorance, he's not such a bad guy after all, right. Now let's get even more compassionately confused in our science. Another reviewer made the witty comment that perhaps the electric surge Braden suffered did far more damage to his brain than he knows......
