We have become a culture of people who try to shun the past. It has become an active, obsessive campaign. And it is true, there is value in the idea of what’s in the past, should remain in the past. This is certainly true of the memory of any experience that holds our lives in place and prevents us from growing stronger and expanding as spiritual beings. However, we do continue to walk each day with conscious and unconscious memories being the backdrop to our lives. Not only are they a part of our thought-track, but emotional memory is translated into energetic forms that become lodged in our cells and various parts of our body.

A comparison between eastern and western medicine through the definition of the energy known as Qi. In Chinese medicine, this ‘energy’ is called Qi, and is roughly translated to mean an ‘air-like substance’ or ‘life-power’…The latest research in physics, consistently prove that our universe is fundamentally made of energy. It consists of negative and positive parts. This, we call in ancient Chinese medicine, ‘yin’ and ‘yang’ Qi.

Co-dependency was first associated with addictions and alcoholism. Now it is recognized as a cultural issue that is interfering with our ability to address global issues such as climate change, peak oil, economic and political instability and the over-consumption of the earth’s resources. Co-dependency makes people afraid of changing their beliefs about who they are, about how the world operates and encourages them to hang on to their “things” as a way of feeling safe during times of crisis or rapid change.

In this podcast, Jorge Luis Delgado discusses in depth with Merryn Jose the Apukunas (Mountain Light Beings), Andean priests and healers, Lake Titicaca, the feminine polarity of Earth, and much more. Jorge Luis Delgado received training with Shamans in the region northeast of Lake Titicaca and studied with the Qero (key-air-o) Elders of the Cusco region, the last remaining spiritual descendants of the Incas. Jorge is known as a leading authority on Inca culture and spiritual practices. He serves as a teacher, guide to the Sacred Valley and other Andean sacred sites and is the author of Andean Awakenings: An Inca Guide to Mystical Peru. Jorge recently gave a workshop at Star Visions in NY!

Science and spiritual wisdom is becoming more and more entwined as the growing awareness of a wholly interconnected, conscious and holographic universe has radical implications for each of us. It reveals that in the Cosmos, consciousness is primary to the creation of the physical world and that these momentous times are the wave front of a global shift of consciousness. One of the most profound harbingers of this Shift is that we are individually and collectively able to directly access newly available cosmic energies that transcend our personal sense of self. Our liberated perception assists us in healing and releasing old patterns and limitations. And as we free ourselves, we are empowered to consciously co-create a new way of being in the world.

I would recommend this book to anyone who desires a change — in their own lives, their relationships, their job, or in the larger world around them. Whether your focus is finding the love of your life, stopping destructive patterns, or ending war and violence in our world, this book has something to offer. Braden cites an interesting statistic in his book — that less than one percent of any population (actually the square root of one percent) can change the reality around them, and that for the entire world to change all that is required is for 8,000 to focus on it. I find that an amazingly hopeful figure, and while I’d like to think that many of that 8,000 are already on the job and improving our world, I would be satisfied if I thought the rest were coming as a result of reading The Divine Matrix.

This experience, and these stories, have changed my life. To come to this powerful awareness can dispel much of the fear of death and loneliness that afflicts many of us. No longer afraid of death, we can embrace life. No longer plagued by feelings of loneliness and worthlessness, we can be comforted by the knowledge that we are never alone. We find ourselves more secure, content and whole. This is an essential component to any notion of healing.
