A new world is emerging before our eyes, while the unsustainable world of the past struggles to continue. Both worlds reflect the beliefs of our past. Both exist—but only for now. Which world do you choose?
- Evolution alone does not explain our existence
- We’ve been on Earth much longer than acknowledged by conventional history
- We’re “wired” for peace, not war
- We’re at a pivotal tipping point in our existence
Best-selling author and visionary scientist Gregg Braden suggests that the hottest topics that divide us as families, cultures, and nations-seemingly disparate issues such as war, terrorism, abortion, genocide, poverty, economic collapse, climate change, and nuclear threats-are actually related. They all stem from a worldview based upon the false assumptions of an incomplete science.
The History:
The obsolete beliefs of our modern worldview have brought us to the brink of disaster and the loss of all that we cherish as a civilization. Our reluctance to accept new discoveries about our relationship to the earth, one another, and our ancient past keeps us locked into the thinking that has led to the crises threatening our lives today.
The Facts:
The scientific method allows for, and expects, new information to be revealed and assimilated into our existing beliefs. It's the updating of scientific knowledge with the new facts from new discoveries that is the key to keeping science honest, current, and meaningful.
To continue teaching science that is not supported by the new discoveries-ones based upon accepted scientific methods-is not, in fact, scientific. But this is precisely what we see happening in traditional textbooks, classrooms, and mainstream media today.
The Opportunity:
Explore for yourself the discoveries that change 150 years of scientific beliefs, yet are still not reflected in mainstream thinking, including:
· Evidence of advanced, near-ice age civilizations
· The origin of, and reasons for, war in our ancient past, and why it may become obsolete in our time
· The false assumptions of human evolution and of the Darwinian theory "Let the strongest live and the weakest die" and how this plays out in corporations, societies, warfare, and civilization today
Deep Truth reveals new discoveries that change the way we think about everything from our personal relationships to civilization itself. When the facts become clear, our choices become obvious.
New York Times best selling author Gregg Braden is internationally renowned as a pioneer in bridging science and spirituality. Following a successful career as a Computer Geologist for Phillips Petroleum during the 1970s energy crisis, he worked as a Senior Computer Systems Designer with Martin Marietta during the last years of the Cold War. In 1991 he became The First Technical Operations Manager for Cisco Systems, where he led the development of the global support team assuring the reliability of the internet in its early days. For more than 22 years, Gregg has searched high mountain villages, remote monasteries, and forgotten texts to uncover their timeless secrets. To date, his work has led to such paradigm-shattering books as The Isaiah Effect, The God Code, The Divine Matrix, and his most recent, Fractal Time: The Secret of 2012 and a New World Age. Gregg??s work has been published in 27 languages and 30 countries and shows us beyond any reasonable doubt that the key to our future lies in the wisdom of our past.

A Vision for Humanity Informed by the Past
Gregg Braden is internationally renowned as a pioneer in bridging science and spirituality. In Deep Truth, Gregg focuses around the crisis points threatening our future on this planet, and how our responses to these crises are so heavily colored by misunderstandings of accepted truths. The "Deep Truth" in the title refers to a comment made by Niels Bohr to Albert Einstein in which he said that "the so-called deep truths are statements in which the opposite also contains deep truth." Gregg describes the scientific evidence that shows another side of some of the passionately held truths that divide us. For example, he describes archaeological records of advanced civilizations 10,000 years old that showed no evidence of war. These peaceful societies showed that survival of the fittest is not a "law" of nature, and separation and domination are not necessarily our genetic inheritance. Another matter of emotional contention is the issue of global warming. Both sides of the argument are both right and wrong. Yes, global warming is a fact, but glacial core samples covering hundreds of thousands of years show that is also a cyclical event that happens in relation to the earth's trajectory around the sun. Are man-made greenhouse gases accelerating it? Probably, but that is relatively irrelevant. The point is that it is happening and we need to be making contingency plans for dealing with the impending consequences, rather than pointing fingers, walking out of international conferences and trying to extract the last buck from our crumbling environment. "We can't go back to the familiar world of our past...we're on a one-way trip. We can't go back to the world of the past because it no longer exists," says Gregg. All we can do on an individual level is to make the kind of personal choices that will become our collective answer to the crises of our time. As nations we have to get real and find the common ground that will let us move forward together. This book is a beacon, lighting the way.

Truth's are relevant for specific eras
Interested in life? Interested in science? Interested in our world? This book is so relevant for our time. As a retired biology teacher interested in spirituality this book contains volumes of information that speaks to me. I feel it's ring of truth for today. It's most difficult to keep pace with the massive volume of information present today. I am synthesizing as I progress trying to derive meaning from all the "apparent" chaos. This guy is very good... he uses science to help us catch up so that some of the major problems facing humanity today may have a different point of reference based on the newest science fact. Paradigm shift might be an appropriate term. We are living in a huge lag time for scientific information. We are teaching out dated information and it's that information that keeps us bound in a time that is no longer functional for humanities healthiest survival. For science people, math people and people interested in the latest truth from a scientific point of view. For instance: Chimps have 48 chromosomes we have 46 it seems that there has been 2 chromosomes that have fused to make one for us. I found that most interesting. Especially how he reflects upon this information. The "truth" that DNA codes one code=one protein, no longer a truth. Just 2 of the facts he has woven into the fabric of this book. This just speaks volumes to me, personally, about how we cling to our out dated information. You know, as humans, we have a tendency to "own" our information. We are so fearful of being duped. We strive for the "truth" of it all many times kicking and screaming as we fear we might lose our hold on "our" truths. A quote from Gregg Braden's newest book just released, "Deep Truth" "We are drowning in information, while starving for wisdom. The world henceforth will be run by synthesizers, people able to put together the right information at the right time" This is a quote attributed to evolutionary biologist E. O. Wilson. I highly recommend this book, Gregg Braden is a geologist/explorer and a synthesizer. He brings to light much of the newest information and how it reflects on our world. It's easy to read. If he uses the difficult science jargon he goes on to explain what it means in easy to understand terms. Gregg Braden is truly a "Deep Truth" thinker. I applaud his gift of synthesizing information for us during a very pivotal crucial time.

Potentially the MOST IMPORTANT BOOK of the 21st Century
What lies ahead for mankind in this century? Will our advanced civilizations crumble under the pressure of the vast religious, scientific, economic, political and intellectual divide that is exponentially expanding among the people and nations of the world? Or can we find the collective strength, morality and will to modify these same forces, enabling humanity to raise our degree of evolution to a new higher level? If this second alternative comes to pass, "Deep Truth" will go down in history as one of the most important works of our time. It's going to join ranks with the other great modern contributions that will have historically marked our turning point. If the first, more likely alternative comes to be and the world implodes, the books ultimate standing is moot. If you doubt this degree of divide exists among us, you have only to read the amount of angry polarization expressed in the book reviews that are posted here. As the author has eloquently expressed in "Deep Truth" -- The problems that currently exist have brought our world to the precipice of a major fork in its future. Moreover, the window of opportunity for us to make a well-reasoned, collective choice for the correct path to follow is narrow and rapidly closing. If we do not act fast the window will close and our fate will become sealed to the detriment of all intelligent beings. Contrary to the misguided-uninformed claims made by some of the reviewers here, this book is NOT "New Age." It is brutally harsh, honest-reality. It is firmly rooted in established science. Ignoring the significance of the case this book makes for the need to re-evaluate, modify and teach our understanding of history, evolution and the current world paradigm mandated by the modern Establishment will result in the collapse of civilization. The choice before us is no less critical and significant then the series of events that led to the medieval Dark Ages. Read this book. Send copies to anyone you know who has an open mind and a genuine interest in making a personal contribution to the future of humanity during their lifetime. I have spent 40 years of research and study in the subjects of discussion in this book. The information must be disseminated and adopted by a wider world-audience if we are to survive. It truly is that important. Robert Steven Thomas (author of INTELLIGENT INTERVENTION)
