[THEME MUSIC]

My name is Greg Braden, and I'd like to welcome you to this

very special presentation of "Missing Links,"

the deep truth of our origin, history, destiny, and fate.

In our last episode, we identified

the science-based discovery of a field

of energy, a real-life matrix, that functions

in three very precise ways.

This matrix, number one, it's the container

for the universe itself and for all things that

can happen in the universe.

Number two, it's the bridge between our inner

and our outer worlds.

Everything that happens from within, our thoughts, feelings,

emotions, and beliefs are conveyed to the world

beyond our bodies through this field.

And number three, the mirror-- the mirror-- this field

is a mirror in the world for what

we claim to be true in our deepest, sometimes

subconscious beliefs.

Well, scientists are no longer asking the question,

are we connected?

The field tells us that we are.

Now the question is, how deeply are we connected?

How much influence do we really have in the world

through this field?

Well, there are two very futuristic scientific

experiments that take us light years beyond anything

that we believed in science as accepted in the past.

And I want to share those with you.

What they are showing, however, has opened the door

to a possibility that modern science is now struggling with.

So let's take a look at these two experiments.

The first one was published in the Russian bulletin

of the Lebedev Physics Institute in 1992.

And the experiment begins with something seemingly very

innocent-- a glass vessel, a vase, where all of the air

has been completely drawn out of this vessel to create

what we call a vacuum.

So a vacuum implies that this vessel is empty,

but we know it's not completely empty, because there are still

little photons of light that remain in this vessel.

And scientists know this.

So the question now is, where are those photons?

They want to get a baseline and see where the photons are right

now.

So the first part of this experiment,

they draw the air out of the vessel,

and then they measure where these photons

are in the vessel.

Are they all piled up on the bottom?

Or are they floating around the inside?

Or are they all stuck to the edges?

And what they found was no surprise.

The vessel showed that these photons are completely random.

They're completely random.

And by the way, these are the same kinds

of photons, the particles of matter,

that make up the atom itself that we

described in the last episode.

So we're dealing with these fundamental particles

of the stuff that our world is made of.

And that's important.

So the scientists found that the distribution

of the photons in this vessel was completely random--

no surprise.

That's what they expected.

The next piece of this experiment

is where, while the experiment is fascinating,

what I find really fascinating is

the thinking of the scientists that

made the experiment possible.

For a scientist trained in the scientific method based

upon all of those false assumptions

that we saw earlier in this program, those assumptions

of separation, for the scientists

to move out of that box of thinking

and begin asking new questions like,

what if our assumptions are wrong?

What would that tell us about our world?

That's where it gets really interesting,

and that's what the next part of this experiment is all about.

Because what the scientists did was, into the vessel

that had completely random photons,

they put human DNA-- human DNA.

Because they wanted to see if human DNA

has an effect on the photons.

And before I go any further, I just

would invite you to think about what they're asking.

Photons are the stuff this world is made of.

DNA is the stuff we're made of.

And scientists are asking in the laboratory,

does this stuff we're made of have

an effect on this stuff our world is made of?

This is where it starts to sound like science fiction,

or at least something that an advanced yogi would

be working with.

But these are in a bonafide scientific laboratory,

these questions.

This is where they're being asked.

So here's what they did.

They took human DNA, and they placed it inside the vessel.

And then they measured the DNA again to see what would happen.

And they measured the photons again to see what would happen.

And the results of this experiment

changed the way we had been conditioned to think

about ourselves and the world.

Because the photons went from being completely random when

they were first measured, and in the presence of the human DNA,

the photons are no longer random.

They are ordered.

They followed precisely the geometry of the DNA.

The DNA was having a direct effect on the photons.

The stuff we're made of is having a direct effect

on the stuff our world is made of, just like some of our most

ancient and cherished indigenous and spiritual traditions have

always told us, that we are connected to the world.

So this is the first experiment.

Human DNA has a measurable effect

on the stuff our world is made of.

And I want you to see the way the scientists responded

to this.

So I'm going to read this to you directly.

In the journal "Nanobiology," and this was published in 1995,

the way the scientists describe this,

they said that the photons were described as behaving--

and this is a quote-- "surprisingly

and counterintuitively"-- counterintuitively.

It's counterintuitive because the scientific thinking

is that everything is separate from everything else

and there is no stuff to convey any effect

from the DNA to the matter.

That's why it's counterintuitive to the science.

But the next piece is what I find particularly interesting.

I'm going to invite you to listen to the language.

It says, "We are forced to accept the possibility"--

they're saying that they are forced.

They're not saying "it looks like," or "it appears,"

or "this is what we've found."

They're saying "we are forced to accept the possibility

that some new field of energy is being excited by the DNA."

Well, I think we know it's not a new field.

It's a field that's been around a long time.

It's simply that we are just now recognizing that field

and what it means to us.

So the summary of this second experiment

is that science now confirms that human DNA influences

the stuff our world is made of through the photons

by communicating directly through the field.

That's a big piece.

But now let me go to the second experiment.

This experiment was published in the "Journal of Scientific

Exploration" in 1994.

It begins with human DNA once again.

And this is a very precise kind of human DNA.

It comes from umbilical cords of newborns,

because that DNA is what's called very pristine DNA.

It hasn't been eroded over time, as happens

as we mature in life.

So it's a very pristine kind of DNA.

And the DNA is isolated in one vessel,

and that is encased in another vessel

to make sure that there are no other influences that

are happening from outside to influence the DNA.

So here is the experiment.

This very unique DNA is now placed

within the range of the field of a human heart

that we described in an earlier episode.

Every human heart, if you recall,

has a field of energy that extends

beyond the physical heart for a distance between five

to eight feet.

And that field is an electrical and a magnetic field

that we can measure with conventional equipment.

So the question is, through that field,

is the DNA influenced by the emotions of another person?

Can our emotions actually influence

the DNA in our bodies?

Before I tell you the experiment,

let me just share a little bit about why this is important.

Human DNA, when it is in our cells,

it is coiled in very specific kinds of ways.

And what scientists have found is

that in the presence of certain emotions

that we would call negative emotions--

and I don't really like to use that term,

but I'm going to use it to be clear what we're talking about.

So when we talk about emotions, for example,

of anger or hate or jealousy or rage or frustration, those

that we would typically consider as negative emotions,

they have an effect on the DNA within our bodies.

And the effect is that in the presence of those emotions,

the DNA is actually-- coil is tightened.

It's tightened like a little knot.

And that's important, because when

it is tightened in this way, the DNA does not express

to its fullest capacity.

So negative emotions tighten the coil

and prevent the DNA from expressing

the fullest capacity of whatever it is that it is expressing.

Whether it's our immune response or our anti-aging hormones

or whatever it is, the DNA simply cannot do its full

complement of what it's designed to do.

So from this description, you can probably

imagine what the positive emotions do.

Positive emotions actually loosen the DNA.

They relax the DNA.

So these are the emotions of compassion, gratitude,

appreciation, for example.

Those kinds of emotions actually relax the DNA within our bodies

and allow that fullest expression.

Knowing this, the scientists wanted

to see what effect human emotion from one person

would have upon DNA that's not in that person's body,

but it's in this special container that was designed.

So that's the experiment.

Here's what they found.

The human DNA was isolated.

And in the presence of the positive emotions,

in the presence of the gratitude, appreciation, love,

and compassion, what happened was

the DNA actually began to relax, and it relaxed so much

that it began to unwind itself.

The two coils began to unwind, as if the DNA

was about to replicate itself and produce a new strand of DNA

in the presence of positive emotion.

All that was happening was gratitude, appreciation, care,

compassion, and the DNA was responding

in such a positive manner that the DNA acted, again,

as if it was about to reproduce itself

in a new, vitalized, healed state.

So this is something that scientists were not expecting.

So now we've seen the results of these two experiments.

In the presence of the positive emotion, the DNA is relaxed.

In the presence of negative emotions,

such as anger, hate, jealousy, rage,

the DNA was tightened like a little knot.

It coiled up very, very tightly.

And this is telling the scientists something

that we've never seen demonstrated under laboratory

conditions before.

Anecdotally, it may have been suspected.

But this is the first time in a laboratory environment

that we could actually see human emotion, intentionally created

by those trained to create very specific kinds and very

specific qualities of emotion, that human emotion changed

the shape of the DNA.

It changed the ability of the DNA

to fully express the full complement of what it is,

whatever that DNA is expressing.

So I'm going to share with you now directly.

I want you to hear from the scientists, quote,

"Individuals trained in feelings of deep love and appreciation

were able to intentionally change

the shape of the DNA in their bodies."

And they went on to say that "human emotion produces

effects which defy conventional laws of physics."

Now, what are those results saying to us?

It's saying that when we embrace the deepest truth, the power

that is available to us, when we tap the fullest

potential that we have available to us,

that we are not bound by the conventional laws of physics,

at least as we have known those laws in the past.

Maybe the laws of physics are going to change.

But the fact that we have the ability to feel a certain way,

to create a certain emotion in our body

and literally change the DNA within us

and, in the case of experiment, that was not even part of us,

that tells a new story.

And here's what this story is all about.

So I'm going to invite you now to think about these two

experiments.

The first experiment, human emotion

changes the shape of the DNA, and you saw that.

The second experiment is that DNA changes physical matter.

The DNA influenced the photons that were in the vessel.

If you take out the middle piece, human emotion changes

DNA, DNA changes matter, if you take out the overlapping

statements of DNA, what we find is this-- human emotion changes

matter.

Human emotion influences the stuff our world is made of.

And as we learn to embrace the qualities of feeling

and emotion that change the DNA in our bodies,

not only does it influence the healing in our own bodies,

as you'll see in future episodes,

not only does it influence the DNA in additional ways,

as you're going to see in future episodes,

it literally taps, it influences the stuff

our world is made of in ways that sound superhuman, that

sounds like something that a yogi studying

in a monastery on a high mountaintop half

a world away for a lifetime would be able to do.

But the beauty of these experiments

is that we don't have to do that.

We don't have to leave everything that we love

and all the people and the experiences

and live in a monastery on the mountaintop

for a lifetime or two to embrace what these technologies are all

about.

And this is precisely what we are talking about.

This is a technology.

It is an internal technology that

is available to every human if we choose

to embrace it in our lives.

So what have we learned from these experiments?

We now know, science confirms, human emotion

influences the field that connects all things

and the stuff our world is made of.

When we study physics, traditional physics,

one of the great mysteries of the physics as we know it today

has to do with the outcome of yet another experiment.

This experiment was first performed in 1909,

at the turn of the 20th century.

And at that time, the scientists didn't know what

to make of this experiment.

Prior to 1909, physics was mechanistic.

They're called Newtonian physics, classical physics.

It was all about things bumping up

against other things, electrons and atoms and neutrons.

But the new physics that was developing at the time

through the theories that were being developed

in the late 1800s and early 1900s,

that physics said that there's something else that's

happening that on the level of things that are very small

and the level of things that are very huge, in terms of galaxies

and in terms of very, very small particles,

there's another physics that's working.

That's the quantum physics.

And the experiment that I'm talking about

was known as the very, very famous double slit

experiment, performed in 1909.

And the mystery is because the result

of the double-slit experiment actually

is determined by whether or not someone

is watching the experiment, OK?

Let me say that again.

Let me tell you how this experiment works.

The double-slit experiment begins as a beam of photons.

And you see a common theme here.

We're talking about photons.

They are the elementary stuff that atoms are made of,

the stuff our world is made of you.

You and I are made of photons.

Our world is made of photons.

So it's not surprising that they would be used a lot

throughout these experiments.

So in the double-slit experiment, a beam of light,

photons, particles of light, was fired from a device.

And it was fired at a barrier.

And the barrier had two slits on either side.

And what scientists expected to see

was that once the light hit the barrier,

it would go through both of the slits,

and we would be able to see the patterns that

was creating in a very expected way on the other side.

Well, this is where the mystery comes in.

Because what scientists found is that when

the light hit the barrier and it went through

and it was being observed-- now, the observer

could be another human.

It could be a device watching it.

But somehow, the observation actually

determined how those particles of light would behave.

When no one and nothing was observing,

the particles would behave in one way.

When someone or a gadget was recording,

the particles would behave in another way.

And here's the difference.

Under one set of circumstances, the particles

remained particles.

Under another set of circumstances,

the particles became waves.

So now we're talking on a quantum

level about the difference between the particles

and waves.

It's the same energy expressing in very, very different forms.

Now, this is going to be really important,

because what we have just done is

we've talked about the ability of humans

to create the emotion that influences their DNA

and influences the stuff our world is made of.

And now we're talking about the stuff our world is

made of behaves differently-- sometimes it's a particle,

sometimes it's a wave-- depending on whether or not

it's being observed.

The implications for healing, the implications for prayer,

the implications for remote healing

within the context of these discoveries

take on a whole new meaning.

And if you think about this, we know scientifically

that prayer has an effect.

Many studies have been done, and the question

was, how could a prayer in one person's living room

for their loved one, their son or their daughter, their mother

or father in a battlefield of Afghanistan half a world away,

how could the prayer have any influence on the other side

of the planet?

And yet it does statistically.

What the studies were showing was

that people fared better when they were ill

or when they underwent a surgery.

Those that had people praying for them fared better,

recovered faster, had less trauma, less bleeding,

less swelling, less bruising than those that did not.

These are very, very well documented studies.

So I'm not going to spend a lot of time on those.

The question is, why does it happen?

How does it happen?

That's what we're spending time on.

Because we're going to take us now to the next level.

We're going to take it even further than we

have in the past.

Because it begins to tie into what

we have called "miracles" in the past.

A miracle is only a miracle until we understand the science

underlying what's happening.

Then it becomes a technology.

And it's something that we all have available to us.

Although the observer effect was first

documented during the first double-slit experiments

early in the 20th century.

As happens so often with these very important experiments,

this particular experiment was repeated later in the century,

using even better equipment with new ideas

and new understandings.

And I'd like to share with you precisely the exact language

of what the scientists at the Weitzman Research Institute

discovered when they repeated the double-slit experiment.

1998, scientific headlines all over the world

reported this experiment.

And they read, and this is a quote,

"researchers at the Weitzman Institute of Science conducted

a highly controlled experiment demonstrating how a beam

of electrons"-- so these are quantum particles--

a beam of electrons "is affected by the act of being observed."

But even beyond that-- that observation effect

was noted early in the century.

But listen to this.

Listen to the new portion of this discovery.

The scientists said, quote, "the experiment revealed

that the greater the amount of watching,

the greater the observer's influence on what actually

takes place," and of quote.

And this was actually reported in a very prestigious journal

"Nature," February 26, 1998, volume 391, if you want

to look it up for yourself.

This experiment is telling us that not only are we

intimately enmeshed with the world around us

and with the world within us, but the more focus, the greater

our focus, the greater the attention that we give,

specifically something that's happening

in our lives, the greater the effect.

But I think this is interesting, because we already knew this

if we followed the principles in some

of our most ancient, again, and cherished spiritual traditions.

For example, in the Sutra from the Mahayana Buddhist

traditions, there is a statement that

essentially summarizes what the Weitzman experience just

told us.

And that statement says, quote, "Reality exists only

where the mind creates a focus." "Reality

exists only where the mind creates a focus."

So the ancient Buddhist traditions, they

didn't have the science, but they sure

understood the principle.

They understood the mechanism.

Where we create this convergence of thought, feeling,

and emotion, where we create that focus,

that is us observing the world around us.

And it is that experience and the fact

that that experience has such a powerful effect in our lives

that actually made Albert Einstein-- it

was making him crazy.

This is the piece of the puzzle that Einstein was never

able to solve.

He began early in the 20th century

with his theories of relativity, and he was always

searching for a unified theory, a unified field theory.

And here's what I mean by that.

A unified field theory is where a scientist,

like Albert Einstein, creates a single story that incorporates

all of the facets of nature and physics and mathematics

into one coherent story of us, our universe,

and our relationship to it.

The unified field theory has been an elusive theory.

It has yet to be discovered.

And the world supported Einstein,

thinking that this is the man-- if anyone could do it,

he could do it.

Here's where Einstein got stuck.

And he actually admitted this on his deathbed

in the early 1950s.

He got stuck because he did not like the idea that we are so

intimately connected with our universe

that we could have any influence whatsoever

on the universe in one place with us being in another place.

And as I mentioned earlier, he actually had a name.

He called this "spooky action at a distance."

He called this "spooky action at a distance,"

because to him, it was spooky.

One of the things I find particularly fascinating

is that although Einstein was working

with the same mathematics and the same equations

as his friends and colleagues, he came to the conclusion

that we are separate from one another

and that we are separate from the universe

and that we can be observers in the universe.

However, a dear friend and colleague

of Albert Einstein's a man that lived much longer than Einstein

and had a tremendously powerful influence in quantum

physics at Princeton University and our world today

was Professor John Wheeler.

He passed away just a few years ago.

So John Wheeler and Albert Einstein-- they were friends,

they were colleagues looking at the same equations,

the same math, drawing vastly different conclusions.

So while Einstein believed that we're

separate and have no effect, Wheeler said just the opposite.

And I want to share with you John Wheeler's exact words

just so you can hear his process and his thinking

and how passionate he was about this.

John Wheeler said we had this old idea that there is

a universe out there somewhere.

And here's man, what he called the observer, safely

protected from the universe by what he called

a six-inch slab of plate glass.

OK, so it's not really plate glass,

but that is his way of saying that there

is something between us and the universe out there.

But he continues.

He said, now we learn that to even observe an electron,

we have to shatter that plate glass.

And listen to what he said.

He said, so the old word "observer" simply

has to be crossed off the books.

He said, there are no observers.

We must put in the new word "participator"-- no observers,

only participators.

So what does this mean?

I'm going to just very, very quickly

encapsulate this idea of why it's so powerful in our lives.

Because what John Wheeler has just said to

us tells us that we will never find the smallest particle

of matter, no matter how many atoms and quantum particles

that we smash into one another and break

into a bajillion pieces looking for smaller smaller pieces.

And we will never find the edge of the universe,

no matter how far we look to the edge of the cosmos

and how technologically sophisticated our equipment is.

And here's the reason why.

What John Wheeler just said to us

is that every place that we look into the universe, every place

that we look into nature with the expectation that something

is there for us to see, the expectation

is the principle that will put something there for us to see.

So no matter how far, no matter how deep, as long as we're

looking, the act of looking is the act of creation

that makes sure there will always be something

there for us to see.

So what we've just witnessed are the science-based experiments

and the real-life application of these experiments

that not only confirm we are deeply connected to the world,

but also confirm that that connection is so fundamental it

begins at the very core of our existence with our DNA,

where we interact with life and reality itself.

In our next episode, let's take this one step further.

We'll discover that the source of our connection

is directly linked to the origin of the DNA in our bodies.

And that's what sets us apart from all other life.

Thank you for joining me for this program today.

And be sure to tune in for our next all-new

episode of "Missing Links," the deep truth of our origin,

history, destiny, and fate.
