The God Code:The Secret of our Past, the Promise of our Future Paperback – January 1, 2005
Purchase options and add-ons
“A rare blend of scientist, visionary, and scholar.” —Deepak Chopra
A scholar and New York Times–bestselling author shares his shocking theory of an ancient language—found in the decoded elements of our DNA—that shines new light on the mysteries of existence.
What would it mean to discover an ancient language—a literal message—hidden within the DNA of life itself? What we once believed of our past is about to change.
A coded message has been found within the molecules of life, deep within the DNA in each cell of our bodies. Through a remarkable discovery linking Biblical alphabets to our genetic code, the “language of life” may now be read as the ancient letters of a timeless message. Regardless of race, religion, heritage, or lifestyle, the message is the same in each cell of every woman, child, and man, past and present.
Sharing all-new, fascinating research, Gregg Braden discusses the life-changing discovery that led him from a successful career in the aerospace and defense industries to an extensive 12-year study of the most sacred and honored traditions of humankind.

Editorial Reviews
Review
—Dr. Wayne W. Dyer, New York Times–bestselling author of Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life
“Gregg Braden is a rare blend of scientist, visionary, and scholar, with the ability to speak to our minds while touching the wisdom of our hearts.”
—Deepak Chopra, New York Times–bestselling author of The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success
“The God Code explores a fascinating premise—-that there is a tangible, verifiable, and universal message planted firmly within the foundation of life—a message that may provide evidence for a higher intelligence operating behind the scenes of the phenomenal world that we all take so much for granted. Scholar Gregg Braden is to be commended, as he has opened an unprecedented window into our understanding of the great mystery of existence.”
—Hank Wesselman, Ph.D., anthropologist, and author of The Journey to the Sacred Garden and the Spiritwalker trilogy

- Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2005I purchased the God Code after being impressed with Mr Braden's Awakening to Zero Point material. Even though I thoroughly enjoy anything that attempts to combine spiritualism and science, it took me a while to absorb the true messages beneath his words.
Quantum science proves we are energy based beings; our carbon based bodies beyond molecules, are waves of energy that when we "look" form particles. The idea that the vibration of the chemical composition of our cells translates to "God/Eternal Within the Body" in Hebrew, Sanskrit, and its been suggested even Arabic, is truely an amazing feat of genetic engineering so to speak.
The idea that this is an accident - is just fallacy. There is definitely a universal intelligence behind our design, and the way Braden presents this information is admirable, at a time when Unity is a matter of strategic importance. Quantum science shows that unity strengthens the field, disunity weakens it.
The overiding message I get from this book is that all life is precious, because we all have a vibration that comes from the same source. I recommend this book highly, and it makes a useful complement with Dr. Bruce Lipton's Biology of Belief.
If ever there was a justification for treating your neighbour with the same integrity and respect as you would yourself, this certainly adds to it. The only minor qualification I would make is that if you're a non-scientist, it might take a while for the pieces to fit together. I was lucky in that I was able to attend one of Mr Braden's seminars, so I had a head start in terms of understanding the overall gist of the information.
I found it advanced and a great effort considering much of what we believe is true today, is inconsistent with experience, because most of our beliefs or historical 'memes' are based on incomplete information. Great scholars like Mr Braden are courageous for their attempts at filling the gaps, and society will eventually come to realise we owe them a lot.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2006WOW! I just finished reading "The God Code", and found it to be one of those books that's just so interesting and absorbing that I didn't want to put it down. It's also one of those books that leads you to ponder, wonder and think about the world as it is, and the world as it could be...
"The God Code" speaks about a code that was discovered in our DNA, and the implications of such a code. While using the science called "gematria" (which involves converting words/letters back to either of 2 of the most ancient languages, and then applying the number values associated with the letters of one or both of these languages to find words that are "related in nature"), the code "God/Eternal within the body" was found.
This means that in every one of our bodies, God's signature, or reminder to us, is shown in each and every one of our cells - how wonderful and incredible is that!!!
This book also discusses the idea that this code could be used as a reminder to us that our sameness is more important than our differences - as we all have the same code within us. In a time where we humans tend to look for the differences between us, and then use these differences to ignite all sorts of negative feelings and reactions (including war), it would serve us well to look for what will unite us - for that which would bring us together as the family we all are.
As the author so poignantly shows, during times of extreme strife (like Sept. 11 and the many major disasters of our time), we tend to forget our differences, and jump into a mode of helping one another without even thinking about it first - it's as if these times are a demonstration of who we "really" are. But, how can we demonstrate this level of caring for our fellow man without there having to be a disaster - what would it take?
Overall, I found this to be a very interesting read. And as such, I would recommend it to anyone interested in the idea of unity vs. separatism, as well as those who are intriqued by the idea that our Creator left us a sign to remind us that we are more than the bodies we are currently in.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2024In the breakdown of some of the original scriptures references to the original name of God, the spelling along with decoding those letters into numerical values, it is hard to argue that it is a coincidence that our DNA actually reflects God's name. I found this book so fascinating and it has given me a new way to look at my fellow humans.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2007Like so many books that delve into the more esoteric aspects of reality, the God Code explores the hidden, unseen aspects of codes. Hidden in our DNA, and applying gematria (Hebrew letters which are assigned number values), we get a very important message that God is eternal and within our bodies.
For some people, a few of Braden's conclusions will be a stretch and seem far-fetched. However, I totally relate to all the numerological relationships Braden puts forth, so I really enjoyed the God Code. The book actually helped me understand several important connections about YHVH (Hebrew name of God) and the four DNA bases that make up all life. Because this was important to me, I referenced his observations in the book I was writing at the time.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2014I am a little bit in love with Greg Braden, the speaker. I discovered him through a breadcrumb trail of metaphysical videos on YouTube. I love the wisdom and sincerity in his eyes and his enthusiastic yet humble authority on the subjects about which he speaks. I also love the fact that he rocked one of the most smoking hot mullets I've ever seen. So when I read this I couldn't help but a teensy bit - and I stress only the teensiest bit - disappointed that his writing style, while technically brilliant, lacked a just a little bit of the warm, fuzziness I had gotten from him as a speaker. Although I do get WHY it's written this way, It felt just a little TOO scientific. That said, the material in this book is brilliant, enlightened, enlightenING, and truly next level.

SorinReviewed in Spain on February 2, 20242.0 out of 5 stars Not worth reading
The author draws conclusions that are biased by his own beliefs and uses the scriptures to make a point. He tries to prove that the "name of God" from the old Hebrew writings it is found in our DNA. I found this absolutely ridiculous and his arguments totally unconvincing. It could be an interesting idea but it's not science based even if he tries hard to make it look like it is science.
Not worth reading.

The author takes the reader through a journey of discovery about our true divine origin.
Even tough some parts of the book must me read twice to clearly understand them, the simplicity of the ideas make the reading a pleasant and significant journey through the discovery of our divine origin and our true purpose in life.
