Awakening to Zero Point : The Collective Initiation (Paperback)

~ Gregg S. Braden (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

There is a process of unprecedented change unfolding within the earth. You are part of the change. Without knowledge of the artificial boundaries of religion, science, or ancient mystic traditions, the change is characterized as dramatic shifts in the physical parameters of Earth accompanied by a rapid transformation in human understanding, perception, and experience. This time is historically referred to as "The Shift of the Ages."

As science witnesses events for which there are no reference points of comparison, ancient traditions say that the timetable is intact; the events of "The Shift" are happening now. Each event carries with it a similar message, and is a by-product of something much more significant than the event itself. During key moments in human history, wisdom has been offered allowing individuals to experience rapid change without fear. This is one of those moments. You are living the completion of a cycle that began nearly 200,000 years ago, and a process of initiation that was demonstrated over 2,000 years ago.

5.0 out of 5 stars Scientifically engaging, pragmatically mystical, September 4, 1999

By	Fred J. Lunau (Connectict, USA, Earth.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The implications of this book still affect me today. Gregg Braden intellectually synthesizes current geological events with past-cultural predictions, quantum physics with non-hyped "new consciousness", while never pretending to predict. He weaves a non-denominational tapistry of possible outcomes for our collective consciousness, while never preaching. Bravo.

We need more books like this from scientists that think way outside of the box, and have the compassion to want to share their ideas with us. Reading "Awakening To Zero Point" is refreshing, cerebrally stimulating, and comforting that even just one human amongst us billions thinks this way.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good book despite scientific lapses, February 26, 2003

By	Catherine Gallanti "www.cosmicessence.com" (San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Awakening to Zero point is a great book by Gregg Braden , a geologist, sacred journey guide and spiritual man. I have met Mr Braden in person and think he is a fabulous man, that really cares about the earth and with a profound intuitive insight regarding the changes that we are undergoing. The book is a collection of theories and ideas that attempt to bring together what many of us are feeling intuitively ( "things on earth are changing" and "the past of humanity is not as we thought" ) with some solid evidence and scientific fact. I think Gregg does a very good job at this and provides plenty of food for thought.

The science in the text can be definitely improved upon though, as has been pointed out by a few reviewers with a scientific background. As a former physicist i too found that some of the science in the book is approximative. Maybe gregg's science, although better than that of most new agers, is not as good as some of the people for which science is their daily occupation. I too had some slight uncomfortablness at some of the statements within the book, from a scientific prospective. However I would not for this reason throw out the baby with the bath water. Gregg's science might not be fool proof, but his his intuition surely is. I ultimately found this book very valuable. At least it is a movement in the right direction. Science and Spirit will soon be meeting, if humanity is to progress at all. Gregg has definitely put a very positive foot forward in this endevour as well as sharing of his experience and very positive essence in this text. A very worthwhile read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Who are we?, June 3, 2000

By A Customer

Braden's books not only speak to my intellect and knowledgeable mind, but also to the essence of truth which lives within us all. Anyone interested in a search for the truth will appreciate this book. If we have at times felt "separated" from other people, not "connected", we will begin to understand how all of us share a "onenes" in our mind, body, and spirit. The key is to realize that although we are all the same, some people are willing to make an effort to reach out and grasp new meanings which may be completely foreign to other people. Yet, we take that step anyway. Then, when we least expect it, we begin to find insights and understandings which touch our hearts. I enjoy all the Braden books, this one is no exception.
