Time to Stop Herding Sheep and Tell the Simple Truth?,
By Harriet Palmer (Medford, Oregon) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Isaiah Effect: Decoding the Lost Science of Prayer and Prophecy (Hardcover)
Prophecy, like compassion, Mr. Braden, is NOT a science. It has proven itself to be visionary guess work at best. I will give you two credits. First, you've come a long way from your end-time argument of Awakening to Zero Point where you insisted that the Earth (around this time now), would stop its 1000 mph rotation and start spinning in the opposite direction, reaping major cataclysm along the way. Second, you've caught wind of the power of focused intent and prayer. I participated in the LightShift 2000 August 11 and 1/1/2000 quantum global meditations, and witnessed the miracle of no Y2K problems, no terrorism, peace, smooth transition, and an END to the end-time philsophies (like your own)of so many religions, cults, and individuals. However, here, the author only continues to cash in on herding the gullible through clever titles and associations which have weak, if any association. The Isiah Scroll is not unique. There are thousands of references throughout history that focused prayer changes life, witness the American Indian tradition. Read LightShift 2000 for a total validation of this concept in action and truth. Poor Nostradamus, who was a plague surgeon by day, and a drug taking alchemist by night, wrote before the printing press, had bad hand writing, and has been mistakenly interpreted for centuries. Cayce was a healer who of 14000 readings, only had a handful that dealt with Earth change which at this point are dead wrong. The Maya were an extremely violent culture who drank blood and ate their dead. The other view of their culture, that they were from the Pleides is sheer speculation, not science. Certainly, the Hopi, the Tibetan Buddhists, the Maya, and many other cultures were well versed and grounded in solid spiritual principles. Their worlds existed without MONEY. After reading this book, I have to think that MONEY is the reason it was written, just like the zany end-time philsophy of Awakening to Zero Point. This planet is in a crisis: Spiritually, Environmentally, Socially, Politically. The seas are dying, the planet is warming, everything is getting crowded -- powerful Karma is being worked out. Let the karma unfold -- that is our purpose for being here. Mr. Braden will learn that it is Mother Nature who is in charge of the weather. Do you TRULY think we're supposed to be all getting together to pray to change the forces of nature? Let it rain, let it snow, let the sun shine, the wind blow, the water flow. Indeed, humanity coming together in spirit will help, but it is not the silver bullet Mr. Braden claims it is. Being kind, honest, truthful, good humans doing useful and helpful activities is a spiritual start. Head 'em up again, Mr. Braden, move 'em out.....I bought your book. But I'm selling it at my next garage sale for a dime.

Ancient Wisdom for Modern Times,
By Cynthia Sue Larson "Author of Reality Shifts" (San Francisco bay area, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Isaiah Effect: Decoding the Lost Science of Prayer and Prophecy (Hardcover)
Gregg Braden's infectious enthusiasm is evident in every page of his book, THE ISAIAH EFFECT, as he describes his quest to find ancient wisdom in sacred places around the world. Braden covers some big ideas in THE ISAIAH EFFECT, including: how ancient spiritual writings have been removed and/or altered in much of our modern western education; the tremendous significance that those ancient writings have for us today; and how these teachings explain ways that we can rediscover how to choose the outcomes and possibilities in our life. Braden takes us on an exciting spiritual adventure to Egypt, Tibet, Peru, and the American southwest as he ponders these questions and shares his epiphanies along the way.I find the single most powerful section in THE ISAIAH EFFECT to be Braden's explanation of how to regain the lost language of prayer by learning to align one's thoughts, feelings, and emotions. This "fifth mode of prayer" is not anything like the more common categories of prayer noted by prayer researchers (Colloquial, Petitionary, Ritualistic, Meditative). Those of us who have experienced times of being at one with everything will be thrilled to see this way of praying being adequately described in some detail. I am also fascinated by Braden's assertion that several different religions and cultures describe prophecies of apolocalypse side-by-side with an alternative path of peace and cooperation. Both possibilities may seem to be contradictory, yet they are likely helping to show us how we can actively participate in selecting the future we prefer. This book renews my sense of optimism that together, people of Earth can join in prayer to make a choice between greed, comfort and profit... or love, strength, and balance.

Thought Provoking,
By TheHighlander (Richfield, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Isaiah Effect: Decoding the Lost Science of Prayer and Prophecy (Paperback)
Greg Braden is a former earth science expert as well as a computer systems designer turned tour guide of sacred and religious sites all over the world. He has written a number of books on similar subjects. The Isaiah effect examines many tenants and religious beliefs throughout man kind's history. Looking at who wrote the Bible, why books were left out and what it meant to the overall understanding of the Bible that the books were not included in the final project. He looks at the Bible with all the books and also looks at Native American, Mayan and Aztec beliefs among many others (to be listed later). How are they similar? The writer will show you. Greg Braden believes we are missing something today. He explains how mass prayer has been proven to work. He discusses quantum physics theories that make many of the ancient prophecies seem plausible. The book spends a good bit of time discussing "The Bible Code" and the possibilities that it teaches us. The writer also has chapters discussing healing through prayer among many other faith based actions. This book tries to make you think. Common prophecies, common threads in religion, did we all come from one belief? The book also presents a new way to look at time, time travel, dimensions, religions and quantum physics, prayer and prophecy, alternate realities, multiple paralleled universes. Can we bounce back and forth between them? Maybe even without knowing? Are we actually just now starting to learn or relearn what the ancient people knew? If so, why? How do the prophecies from Peru, Tibet, Egypt, Jerusalem and the American Southwest coincide? Many questions are explored in the book. Some answers are given which in turn just raise a few more questions. This is a book that makes you think about many things including how we, as a race, relate to the seen and unseen worlds. If you are in a contemplating mood this is the book for you. If you are interested in the history and contents of religions this has some interest. If you feel something is missing in today's religions, read this book. It will make you think.
