Description: Art Bell welcomes New York Times bestselling author Gregg Braden to discuss his twelve-year research project revealing what he calls the God Code, a literal text message encoded within the DNA of every living cell. Braden explains that by converting the atomic mass numbers of the four DNA base elements, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon, into their equivalent letters in ancient Hebrew and Arabic alphabets using the centuries-old science of gematria, a coherent phrase emerges: God eternal within the body.Braden details the mathematical methodology, noting that the odds of this message appearing by chance are approximately 1 in 256,000. The same name of God, a form of Yahweh, appears across indigenous traditions worldwide, from Buddhist and Hindu practices to Native American spiritual sounds. He emphasizes that the discovery does not identify who or what God is, but strongly suggests that life is intentional rather than accidental, and that all living things sharing this code possess a common heritage.Art connects the finding to the Bible Code research of Michael Drosnin and the Princeton Global Consciousness Project. Braden reveals that deeper layers of the genetic message remain undecoded, with hundreds of letters between identifiable sentence boundaries still awaiting translation. He frames the discovery as a potential unifying principle for humanity, one that could transcend the religious and cultural divisions that have historically led to conflict.
