Excellent research - By: ONE, 26 Nov 2008 
This is a very well researched book on the nature of reality. He shows scientific experiments to prove the existence of an underlying field of energy which he calls the Divine Matrix. Braden postulates that we all affect this 'Matrix' with our thought & emotion - we are all a part of this matrix - all interconnected (and he proves it!).
To the new comer & even those who have heard of this material before, the proof can be quite startling (and inspiring). We are this Matrix he refers to - this is the proof he supplies & not only that - but we can consciously 'connect' or become aware of this Divine Matrixin our own awareness - thought provoking stuff?
Another good guide to experiencing the truth of this divine matrix comes from the equally stirring yet more spiritual book Finding Reality . Together these books could change your life!
The All-too-human Muddle - By: R. Lee, 28 Sep 2008 
I read this to find out what the latest thinking might be concerning the supposed relationship between quantum physics & 'spirituality'.
Unfortunately I'm none the wiser due to Mr Braden's error-filled & woolly thinking.
He makes too much of his own experiencein a tech industry, as if to give himself some authority. He cherry-picks the sciencein support of his own desired outcomes, he extrapolates hugely & unashamedly from the subatomic scale to human emotions & beyond, & makes unjustified jumps & associations of ideas to come up with unprovable conslusions.
It's not about quantum physicsin any that might help us understand our palcein the world. It's not a spiritual path or practise that might help us transform ourselves. So I guess it must be a good business model.
Interesting, but only if you like to take stuff at face value - By: A. R., 22 Sep 2008 
Gregg Braden's book is an interesting read, but although the author clearly states that his aim is not to produce a scientific piece of work (which is fair considering he's not a scientist), I feel like he has overstretched himself.
The general idea that Gregg tries to explainin the book is the existence of something like a field which permeates the entire universe, akin to the so-called ether. He believes that this field or matrix connects everything & everyone & makes it possible for us to influence objects or people without boundaries of time & space.
One of the shortcomings of the book,in my humble opinion, is that Gregg start by saying that the book is not meant to be scientific, but then goes on to describe a series of scientific experiments, mainly related to quantum physics, the results of which he extrapolates to our everyday lives. There is no way to make that connection without some sort of evidence. He uses & abuses of the term "quantum", & believes that the secret to tapping the power of this matrix is our emotions. He goes on to create a list of 20 'keys' to achieve this, which turns the book into a real new-age, will-change-your-life-forever-if-you-follow-the-keys kind of deal. Not that I think that there's anything wrong with that, but it's just not my cup of tea.
While the results from quantum physics really are interesting, the idea that they also apply outside the quantum realm is entirely without justification. Had he used the quantum results as a metaphor or as a means of motivating his personal belief that if he feels this way about a certain thing, he can influence that thing, it'd be fine. But he clearly uses the experiments as proof, which makes it just silly. Gregg attempts to explain that this supposed connection existsin the ancient beliefs of this or that tribe, & that science has finally caught up with the shamans.
Overall, I think that if you're into stuff like laws of attraction & don't really care about the scientific aspect of these things, you'll like the book. But if you are expecting a book which relates these things to science, you're set to be disappointed.
The Divine Matrix Permeates Everything - We are all one within it - By: Cat Eddy, 05 Sep 2008 The Divine Matrix is beyond,in fact light years beyond anything like `The Secret.'
The Divine Matrix is what I thought `The Secret' should have/could have been but sadly wasn't, the latter seemed to lack any real substance & just appeared to be a series of endless endorsements...
This book however, The Divine Matrix, provides the substance to really get your teeth stuck into plus the answers we are searching for,in a manner that is easily understandable by anyone, although I would suggest that you keep it to hand & reread it, as there is quite a lot to absorb, but saying that, it is extremely valuable information which is more than worth the time & effort.
Gregg Braden expertly teaches us the how's, why's & wherefores of the Universe at its most fundamental level along with the cutting edge of quantum physics embedded with spiritual knowledge that has been held concealed for 1000's of years - all adeptly wrapped upin a nice readily available package for the likes of you & I.
Read it, inwardly digest it & really change the way you look at & experience your/our world.
"Compassion is what connects all things" - By: Bob Lock, 17 Jun 2008 This is another of those books that needs to be read from beginning to end... divingin & looking at the "interesting bits" (using the index) will not do the book justice.
There is muchin this world that we do not understand... & probably never will... but we are getting there.
Books such as "The Divine Matrix" & "Secrets of the Lost Mode of Prayer" lead us to understand that we are all connected (irrespective of religious or cultural background)... & that we have much to learn from each other.
