Hello.

My name's Gregg Braden.

And I'd like to welcome you to
this very special presentation

of The Divine Matrix,
bridging time, space,

miracles in belief.

In the last episode,
we saw the evidence

for a universal field of
energy, the matrix, that

provides the container for
everything in our lives.

It also provides the
bridge between our inner

and our outer worlds
and the mirror

for our deepest and truest
beliefs in the world around us.

Well, in this episode
we'll turn our attention

to how the matrix
works, the rules, that

determine what's possible in
the world, as well as our body.

It was a Sunday
evening in 2003 when

Hei Young had a feeling about
her son Ron, a premonition.

At the very instant that
she was having the feeling,

he was on a military mission
just outside of Baghdad

in Iraq.

He was piloting an
Apache helicopter

that would been shot down.

I wanted to share with you, in
her own words, precisely what

it is that Hei felt as she
shared in an interview that

happened later.

She said, "I just had
a mother's feeling.

I felt like Ron
was there with me.

I felt like he was there.

And he put his arms around me."

Well, not long after
she had the feeling,

her fears were confirmed.

There was a knock at
the door, and that visit

from a military
entourage told her

what she didn't want to hear--

that Ron's helicopter
had been shot down.

And he and another
pilot had gone missing.

And their whereabouts
were unknown.

He was missing in
action at that time.

It was only on a
news broadcast that

happened later that evening
from a Middle Eastern station

that she saw the film footage
of her son and the other pilot.

They were being held captive.

The good news is
that they were alive.

When Kay saw that news footage,
she screamed out, "I knew it.

I knew it.

I knew it."

Three times because her
intuition was right on.

She knew that her son was in
trouble before anyone had ever

told her.

The question is,
how did she know?

What is it that conveys the
information from our loved ones

happening in one
place in the world,

halfway across the nation,
or halfway across the planet?

And what is it within
us that receives

that information in a
way that is meaningful,

that we can interpret as a
message the way that we do?

Well, the good news
is that Ron's story

has a really happy ending.

In one of the most
daring military missions

during the war, Ron, as
well as five other POWs,

were rescued in April
of the same year.

And all of them were
reunited with their families.

When we hear about stories
like Kay and her son Ron

and we have these familiar
experiences in our lives,

what is it that's really
happening and would

become so accustomed to
the experience itself?

Do we ever really consider how
that experience is unfolding?

What is it that allows us to
be in such a deep connection

with a loved one so far away?

Well, you already know
the answer to this

because the science
has determined--

as we saw in the last episode,
in Episode 1 of this series--

when two things are once
physically connected,

even though they become
separate energetically,

they are still connected.

The connection is
the entanglement.

Ron and his mother
were entangled,

as well as you and your
mother, me and my mother,

and our loved ones.

And this entanglement allows
us to have connections

and interactions on this
very, very subtle level

that sometimes we discount.

But sometimes, they play
a very, very powerful role

in our lives.

Well, this first rule of
The Divine Matrix, this

is the rule that
tells us precisely

why this connection happens.

And I'm just going
to reiterate--

when something is
once joined, even

though that something
becomes separate,

physically, energetically,
it remains connected.

This is the first rule
of The Divine Matrix.

But in addition to
the entanglement,

there is another principle,
a second principle,

in a divine matrix that allows
these kinds of experiences

to happen as well.

And I'd like to share
this rule of the matrix

from a poetic perspective
from William Blake.

"To see a world in
a grain of sand,

and heaven in a
wildflower, hold infinity

in the palm of your hand
and eternity in an hour."

What is William
Blake telling us?

He's describing from
a poetic perspective

the second very, very powerful
rule of The Divine Matrix.

The Divine Matrix
is holographic.

And William Blake is talking
to us about the hologram.

Now, I know that the term
"hologram," it's a common word,

and we hear it used frequently.

But I also know that different
people use it in different ways

to describe different things.

So I'd like to be really
clear about precisely

what a hologram is.

So the definition
of a true hologram

is that for every piece of
something, in that piece,

the rest of the
something is reflected.

I'm going to share this with
you in three different ways

just to give you three
different perspectives of what

this means.

In previous episodes
of "Missing Links,"

I shared with you one
example of a bookmark.

So back in the 1980s,
holographic bookmarks

were becoming very, very popular
with the new thought movement.

We saw these amazing
holographic bookmarks

of dolphins jumping over
pyramids, or of Mother Mary,

or of a rose in full bloom.

And these were
holographic bookmarks.

When you held them
in the light, they

looked as if they were
hovering above your hand

while you were holding them.

Well, in a true
hologram, I'm going

to give you an example
with a bookmark,

and then, I'm going to
apply it to our bodies.

And then, I'm going to
apply it to our brain.

And then, I'm going to apply
it to the universe around us.

So from different perspectives,
we all learn differently.

And this is why
it's good to have

so many different perspectives.

In a true hologram,
here's what happens.

You can take one of those
beautiful, shiny, and

holographic bookmarks,
and you can cut it

into a million different pieces.

And with each of those
million different pieces,

you put them under a microscope.

If it is a true hologram,
under the microscope,

you will see the entire image
reproduced in that fraction

because the fraction
always holds the whole.

This is what William
Blake was saying

to us in the grain of sand.

So when we see these
holographic images,

these holographic bookmarks,
what they're telling us,

they're reminding us of a
principle that actually allows

us to function in this matrix
in the way that Kay and her son

did, as I just
described earlier,

through their intuition.

Well, it wasn't until the 1990s,
when this holographic principle

went beyond just the
bookmarks, that scientists

began to understand that it
applies to our bodies as well.

The holographic
principle gives us

a clue as to why a
change in your DNA

can be reflected throughout
your body as quickly as it is.

And I want you to
think about this.

The average human body has
about 50 trillion cells

in the body-- so
50 trillion cells

that have the DNA within
them for the average person.

If you made a
change in one cell,

and that change had to be
reflected cell by cell by cell

for the whole body
to mirror the change,

think about how long
that would take.

50 trillion cells-- if
it even took one second

for every one of those
50 trillion cells

to reflect the change,
I can tell you,

you don't have to do the math.

I've done it for you.

It would take 1,585,600
years for one change

in your DNA to be reflected
throughout your body.

But you know that it
doesn't happen that way.

When we receive a
vaccination, for example,

it happens very, very
quickly that our body

begins to reflect what's
happening in that vaccine--

or if our cells are
modified in any way.

And it's because of the
holographic principle--

our DNA is holographic
within our bodies.

But let me give you an
even deeper example when

it comes to the brain.

There was a time when I
was studying biology--

again, back in
the 1960s, 1970s--

when I was taught
that the brain has

very specific parts
of the brain that

do very specific functions.

And if we lose that
part of the brain,

that we lose that function.

Well, it was through the work of
pioneering neuroscientist Karl

Pribram and physicist David Bohm
that we discovered that this

simply is not the case.

It doesn't work quite the way
we had been led to believe.

During their experiments,
they showed that our brain

is holographic as well.

What happened was that
there was research

that was being done
when laboratory

animals, for example, would lose
a certain part of their brain

that had been
believed to perform

only a certain function.

So maybe there is a part of the
brain that was used for speech,

or part of the brain that
was used for motor function.

The old thinking says,
if that part of the brain

no longer exists, that
that function is lost.

It's not what was happening
in the experiments.

When a specific
part of the brain

was damaged, or in some
cases even removed,

other parts of the brain began
to reflect the characteristics

that were present in the
part of the brain that

was no longer there.

This led the scientists to
hypothesize-- maybe the brain

is not as linear as we think.

Maybe it is holographic.

So they began to do experiments.

And I'll tell you
exactly how this works.

Karl Pribram postulated.

He hypothesized that
since the brain releases

electromagnetic
fields of energy,

that we should be able
to take those fields

and analyze them as we do other
fields through what's called

a Fast Fourier Transform.

And in doing that, what they
found is the information

the brain is
actually distributed.

And I want to share with you,
in his own words, Karl Pribram's

words, what this
distribution is all about.

He said that quote,
"the holograms

within the visual
system are what

are called 'patch' holograms."

End of quote.

A patch hologram--
what does that mean?

If you've ever seen
the eye of an insect,

like a fly for example,
there's a single eye.

But the eye has multiple lenses.

Each lens is
interpreting the reality.

But it's feeding into the
brain as a single image

of the insect, of
the fly for example.

It appears our brains work
in a very similar way.

It's not through our eyes,
but through our perceptions.

Patch holograms
within the brain,

they are feeding into
the common perception.

So I'm sharing this
with you because it

is this potential of the
hologram in our bodies,

in our DNA, and the principle
that I'm describing that I just

described in the bookmark.

These principles are all
playing out in the matrix,

in the field that surrounds
us, the field that

permeates our bodies.

We are living in a
holographic reality.

Now, I know you've
heard that before.

And the words, as I said,
mean different things

to different people.

And I'm hoping to bring
a new understanding

to the potential
of what this can

mean in your life and my life.

The holographic
principle gives us

a clue as to some of the
very potent possibilities

in our lives.

And let me just use one
other example to help

understand what this means.

And we'll begin applying
this in our lives.

In 1972, there was a study that
was done with 24 United States

cities.

Each city had populations
of over 10,000 people.

The study was done by the TM
people, the Transcendental

Meditation Research Lab.

And the purpose of the
study was to determine

if people trained in
TM and who are actually

using TM techniques within
a specific window of time,

if they had the
ability to influence

what was happening in the
world beyond their bodies.

So they were using TM to
create peace and balance

within themselves.

The experiment was designed to
see if that peace and balance

somehow went beyond
their physical bodies

into the world around them.

Well, the results of this
study were astounding.

And what they showed was that
during the window of time--

when the facilitators who were
trained in the practice of TM--

when they went into
their meditative states,

statistically significant
changes happened in the world

around them.

Emergency hospital
room visits declined.

Traffic accidents declined.

Crimes against people declined.

And here's the key.

When they stopped
what they were doing,

all those statistics reversed.

Well, this
understanding, and this

is a holographic principle
that is in place functioning

in the world--
this principle was

taken to an even
larger experiment that

was done in the Middle East
during the war between Lebanon

and Israel in the 1980s.

And it was called the
International Peace

Project in the Middle East.

The same thing, a same
protocol, was used.

People who were specifically--
these were experts in TM--

and they were trained within
a specific window of time

to create peace within
their physical bodies

to create peace
through the TM process.

And while they were doing
this in the world around them,

statistically significant
results occurred.

Terrorist activities
dropped to zero while they

were in their meditative state.

Once again, violent
crimes, crimes

against people, emergency
hospital room visits,

traffic accidents--
all declined.

And when they stopped
what they were doing,

all of the statistics changed.

So a couple of things that
I want to point out here

about this study.

First of all, it
illustrates a very powerful,

a very powerful
principle, in that

the piece that was being
created is less about something

that we do in a moment in time.

It's more about something
that we become in our lives.

The matrix, the
field is reflecting

what it is that we have
become in our bodies.

If we are that peace only for
a window of time, when we stop,

of course, it's going
to stop being reflected

in the world around us.

So rather than
something that we do,

the invitation is for
peace to become something

that we become to the
best of our ability.

That's number 1.

Number 2, mathematically,
what the researchers found

was a formula for
how many people

it would take in a
given geographic area

to facilitate the peace.

So the formula they
came up with originally

was the square root of
1% of a given population.

That number is actually
a pretty small number--

the square root of 1%
of a given population.

Well, the reason that I'm
hesitating a little bit

as I share this with you is
because new studies have now

gone beyond this linear
thinking of a square root

of 1% of a given population.

It's less about the
numbers of people

and more about the quality
of the peace that's being

created within their bodies.

And the reason is because
of the holographic principle

that you and I are
exploring right now.

In the hologram, a relatively
small number of people

can create a powerful change
in the quantum hologram

as a result of the
clarity of whatever it

is that they have created
within their bodies-- the peace

or the healing that they
create within their bodies.

And this brings us to the second
rule of The Divine Matrix.

The first one is that
the matrix is entangled.

The second rule is that
the matrix is holographic.

And what that means is that
on the quantum level, when

a change is made in one
place in the hologram,

it is reflected
throughout the hologram.

So I want to take this
back to the experiment

that we did earlier in this
series, The Twin Photon

experiment.

And I asked you a trick
question in the past.

When the two photons were
separated by 14 miles--

they were in
laboratories in cities

that were 14 miles apart--

one photon had an experience.

The other one in
exactly the same time

had precisely the
same experience.

Here's what I mean by that.

If one of the photons was
given a specific charge,

the other one had
exactly the same charge.

If one photon was forced to
take a path in one direction

when two paths were
available, the other one

would take precisely
the same path,

even though another
path was available.

And the question was, how did
the information get from point

A to point B. In
the last episode,

I shared with you
that it didn't.

It was already there
because it's entangled.

The second piece
of this answer is

because of the holographic
nature of the field that

contains these photons.

When something is happening
in one place on the quantum

level--

and these are
quantum particles--

that change is reflected another
place in the quantum field.

So when it comes
to our relationship

with the world around
us and with what we now

know is this matrix,
this field of energy,

there've been two very,
very different perspectives

that scientists have
held in considering

our relationship to the field.

One of those perspectives
was held by Albert Einstein.

He believed that we are separate
from the world around us

and that we have very,
very little influence

on the world around us.

And I want to share with you,
in Einstein's own words, what

that perspective was.

Albert Einstein said,
and this is a quote,

"we live in a world which
exists independently of us

human beings, which
stands before us like

a great eternal riddle,
at least partially

accessible to our inspection
and our thinking."

End of quote.

And Einstein took
us even further

because when quantum physics
began to suggest that somehow,

we have within us the ability to
influence the world beyond us,

Einstein coined a very, very
specific word that has caught

on in the scientific lingo.

He called this spooky
action at a distance--

spooky action at a distance.

And Einstein struggled with
this relationship between us

and the quantum world
in the world around us.

He never could embrace
the possibility

that we somehow have something
to do with what's happening

in our physical world.

Well, at exactly the
same time that Einstein

held this perspective, a friend
of his, a peer, a colleague,

they worked with
exactly the same data.

They had the same equations,
the same information

in the same period of time.

But this colleague had a very,
very different perspective.

His name is Professor
John Wheeler.

He was working at Princeton
University, as well as

Albert Einstein.

Wheeler sensed that something
very, very different

was happening in this
relationship between us

and the matrix.

And also, I want to share
with you Wheeler's own words.

They're so powerful.

And while what he said may
seem commonplace in our world

today-- if you can think back
to the 1940s and 1950s, when

these scientists were making
these discoveries-- for John

Wheeler to have the
strength, and the fortitude,

and the courage to say in the
scientific community what it is

that you're about to hear in the
presence of a world that didn't

support his theories,
it gives us insight

into what a very
powerful man he was

and how powerful his insights
continue to be in our lives

today.

Listen to what
John Wheeler said.

Wheeler said, and
this is a quote.

He said, "we could not even
imagine a universe that did not

contain us as the observers."

He said, "because the very
building blocks of the universe

are the acts of us looking
and observing the universe."

Wheeler said, and
this is a quote,

"we are part of a universe
that is a work in progress.

We are tiny patches of the
universe looking at itself

and building itself."

We live in what he called
"a participatory universe."

I love this.

We live in a
participatory universe.

Think about what John
Wheeler has just said.

He said that the universe exists
because we are creating it

as we go along.

It's a very, very different idea
from conventional physics that

says the universe
was here first,

and we've come along
later as an afterthought,

and that we have
very little influence

in the world around us.

Wheeler is saying
that we are actually

building this universe.

It's not finished yet.

We are still building in
a participatory universe.

And I want to take just
a moment, just a moment,

and really dive in to
the implications of what

Wheeler has just said here.

What he's saying is
that we will probably

never find the smallest
particle in the universe.

The particle that they're
looking for at CERN,

he said, we'll probably
never find that.

He also is implying
that we will probably

never find the edge of the
universe and what's beyond.

We're building
machines, telescopes

that keep looking
further, and further,

and further to the
edge of the universe.

Wheeler is saying,
we'll never find it.

And here's why.

Here's what he's saying.

He's saying, the act--

it is the act of you
and I looking, peering

into the universe
with the expectation

that something exists
for us to see that is

an act of creation unto itself.

So the act of peering into
the smallest, smallest

particles of matter
with the expectation

that something is
there is always

going to put another
particle there for us to see.

That's exactly what's happening.

We build bigger
and bigger machines

with more and more
energy to collide

these quantum particles that
are breaking into a bazillion

pieces.

And every time,
scientists say, aha,

we've got the ultimate
smallest particle.

They look a little closer, and
there's something else there.

It wasn't long ago
scientist using

radio telescopes
believed they had

found the edge of the universe.

They said, we've
reached a boundary,

the edge of our
universe, that we've

got to build another
telescope to see

what's beyond the boundary.

And they built another,
more powerful telescope.

And now, they said,
oops, it wasn't really

the edge because there
is something beyond that.

What Wheeler is saying
to us, what he's telling

us is that our role
in The Divine Matrix

is a living, vibrant role,
where we are creating as we go.

So as we know the
rules of the Matrix,

it empowers us in terms
of how we interpret

what's happening in
our lives and what's

happening in our world.

So with these ideas in mind,
what John Wheeler is telling us

that we are living in a
participatory universe,

with the rules that we know
so far of the quantum matrix,

of the divine matrix--
number 1, it's entangled.

Number two, it's holographic.

Now, we come back to what the
abbot in Tibet said to us.

And it makes perfect sense.

We must become in
our lives what we

choose to experience in the
world, as well as our body.

So in addition to telling
us how this Matrix,

this field is receiving
information from us,

the new discoveries
are also telling us

how we receive information
from the field.

And every moment of
every day, you and I

are part of a conversation
that is unfolding.

It's a two-way conversation.

We are feeding information
into The Divine Matrix,

and it is giving
information back

about what it is
that we've said--

what we've said through our
thoughts, feelings, emotions,

and beliefs.

In the next episode, we'll
discover the elegant, yet

simple language
that the Matrix uses

to communicate with
you and me when

it comes to our beliefs,
our relationships, and even

the healing of our body.

Thank you for joining me today.

And be sure to tune
in for our next

all new episode of "The Divine
Matrix," bridging time, space,

miracles, and belief.
