The Spontaneous Healing of Belief

We are, in fact, the architects of our experience.

We are cosmic artists expressing our deepest beliefs

on the quantum canvas of the Universe.

Gregg Braden, New York Times best-selling author

My husband, Duaine, and I were blessed to meet Gregg Braden back in the early 90’s and facilitate his workshops in Arizona. We have seen Gregg’s work evolve and his teachings grow at light speed through the years as one of the leading international authorities in bridging science and spirituality. Gregg’s latest book, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief, Shattering The Paradigm of False Limits, is truly his crème de la crème as a distinguished teacher, although all his books are superb and important contributions. This one, however, will stretch readers to new possibilities.

The history of the universe is, in effect, a huge and ongoing

quantum computation. The universe is a quantum computer.

Seth Lloyd, MIT Professor and designer of the first feasible quantum computer.

Gregg asks readers to consider what it would mean to discover that everything from the DNA of life, to the future of our world, is based upon a simple Reality Code—one that we can change and upgrade by choice. A growing body of scientific evidence suggests that our universe works like a Consciousness Computer. Rather than the number codes of typical software, our Consciousness Computer uses a language that we all possess yet we are just beginning to understand the implications of how that works in our daily lives.

“A long time ago, the Great Programmer wrote a program

that runs all possible universes on His Big Computer.”

Jurgen Schmidhuber, Computer Scientist

The amazing synchronicity in reading this book was a dream I had on my birthday in 1994 of Jesus at a computer in an Upper Room in a private home. I was downstairs sorting through greeting cards, one of which had a glittering map of the Ark of the Covenant. I faxed that dream to Gregg for feedback, as the computer itself was such an “out of place artifact” or anomaly in 1994. We purchased my Mac in 1992, but very few homes even had computers back then and no one had a clue what the World Wide Web was. One day in 1999, when having lunch with friends at an Abraham event, I posited the question, “Do you think the Universe could be a giant computer?” Their jaws were agape and they looked at me in with incredulous expressions that I would pose such a question. Back then, I guess it really did seem farout!

As I shared in my book, Magnetizing Your Heart’s Desire, the best-kept secret in the Universe is that we design and create our reality through the language of our feeeeeelings! As Braden writes in this latest book, “…our life code is based in the language of human emotion and focused belief. Our thinking and our beliefs are the programs that run our consciousness. Since we are the ones creating them, we are the programmers and we choose which thoughts become our commands and which emotions signal when to bring them to life…”

“Through the inner technology of our ‘belief ware’,

we’re clearly the architects of our lives.” Gregg Braden

Braden presents 31 belief codes, as summaries of his main points, which are also encapsulated at the conclusion. These codes provide an overview of our conditioned beliefs and how they impact our life. I particularly appreciate how Gregg draws the honesty cards in his personal life by sharing specific examples (he also did this in Divine Matrix, which is very helpful to see the patterns we all create in our lives).

The Spontaneous Healing of Belief combines quantum physics with spirituality that mirrors how we create our reality through our beliefs. The analogies to a computer are compelling and fascinating reading. Braden provides brief explanations of the roles that computers play (such as output, the operating system, the programs) with descriptions that allow us to compare the fractals of computers to the larger workings of the Universe. Our beliefs are actually the software (or belief ware) that programs our reality and determines our experience. Personally, I could not put this book down. I highly recommend buying a copy immediately if you want to be stretched to new life-altering possibilities and upgraded software “patches” for your inner technology.

Shine on!

From my heart!
