Shifting to a Better World
He also discusses the concept of intelligent design. “Evolution is a fact, yes, but that doesn’t apply to us. We have a fusion of chromosomes that give our DNA uniqueness.”
Although Braden states that he doesn’t know who or what was responsible for our existence, he lays out a precise argument that our biological complexities are beyond the reach of random chance.
Be open and evolve
When asked if he will get some flak for backing the theory of intelligent design, Braden stands by what he’s written. “What I’ve put in Deep Truth about intelligent design is not speculation. I worked very hard on the research, and everything in the book is factual. If somebody has a problem, it’s with the data, not me.”
More important, he says, is that the science taught in our schools is woefully outdated—“When new information is revealed, we discount it,” he says—not just dismissing the idea of intelligent design, but also insisting on the use of the scientific method to the exclusion of all other types of research and verification.
“Humanity’s era of greatest suffering coincides with the use of the scientific method and the idea that everything in this world is based on competition—not just biological development, but all our systems, such as the economy. But it’s not true. It served us until recently, but it won’t work in the coming era.”
One of the reasons for writing Deep Truth, Braden says, was to point out that if we as a civilization continue to cling to old information and “produce another generation steeped in false assumptions” without making room for the new, we won’t progress. However, if we open ourselves to the unexpected and the unknown, our future will be bright.
“The world’s problems are so big they will never be solved by one nation, but by us, individually and collectively. We will work together to survive, and when the need disappears, we will be in a better world—the new world our ancestors saw.”

I agree we are in changing times and we have a responsibility. We are giving birth to a new reality. So how do we want that reality to appear?
We will instantly get the society we all dreamed of if we all could rise above our self serving nature and make all our decisions based on the benefit of society. This is a win win situation, since you and I, all of us, are part of society. If we each base our decisions on benefiting all, then we will not need to worry about going without our basic needs, or living in fear of others. Many of our worries will disappear instantly.
How do we manifest this? – that is up to you, as a holistic minded individual. Use any technique you are master of, yet rather than focusing on manifesting that new car or more money, try focusing on this sort of society – where we all rise above our selfish wants and make sure all members of society get what they need.
By doing so we will be giving birth to that loving, caring, benevolent reality we have always wanted. This could be our last chance to get it right. As Mr Braden said…
“The world’s problems are so big they will never be solved by one nation, but by us, individually and collectively. We will work together to survive, and when the need disappears, we will be in a better world—the new world our ancestors saw.”
