This moment highlights the toxic online culture and its psychological roots.
The Spiritual Battle: Understanding Naiveté vs. Intentional Evil
Gregg Braden delves into the concept of a 'deeply spiritual battle' unfolding globally, asserting that many participants in negative or destructive acts are not inherently evil but rather naive or 'trapped.' He explains that individuals with spiritual weaknesses like greed, power, or control naturally gravitate towards roles that perpetuate this battle, often unknowingly. This clip offers insight into the complex motivations behind societal issues, distinguishing between conscious malice and unwitting participation.
The Human Body as 'Soft Technology'
Gregg Braden explains how modern science is starting to view the human body not just as biological matter, but as an advanced 'soft technology' that communicates information. He highlights its capacity for self-regulation, linking it to ancient spiritual traditions.
How Humans Commit Atrocities: Severing the Link to Divinity
Following a discussion of 'pure evil,' Gregg Braden and Joe Rogan acknowledge the historical and present reality of evil acts (e.g., Hitler, Gaza). Braden explains his belief that the only way one human can perpetrate atrocities against another is by 'severing the relationship to their divinity' and soul. He posits that a person connected to their divinity and soul could never inflict such harm, suggesting that this severance allows for extreme cruelty.
Wayne Dyer's 'Sex Machine' Head & Hair Antenna
Gregg Braden shares a humorous anecdote about Wayne Dyer's shiny head being a 'solar panel for a sex machine' and counters with his own theory about hair as 'dimensional antennas.' Joe Rogan then discusses practical tips for saving hair, referencing 'Derek more plates more dates.'
The Gnostic Secret: Our Direct 'Hotline to a Higher Realm'
Gregg Braden explains his understanding of 'divinity' as our inherent ability to express, drawing from Gnostic texts. He clarifies that these texts, deemed heretical, taught that humans possess a direct 'hotline to a higher realm,' bypassing the need for intermediaries. This 'spark,' unique to human life, allows us to become 'godlike' when awakened. Braden connects this ancient wisdom to the contemporary challenge of whether we will embrace the 'gift of our humanness' and divinity.
Documentary Interview Hack: Ask About Your Filming Slot
Joe Rogan jokes about his show being 'rabbit holes' due to frequent pivots. Gregg Braden then shares a valuable tip for anyone being interviewed for a documentary: ask if you're an early or late interview, as early interviews risk their content being irrelevant if the storyline changes later in production.
Thorium: The Suppressed Clean Energy Source We've Had for 70 Years
Gregg Braden introduces thorium as a powerful, abundant, inexpensive, and safe element that could provide clean, sustainable energy. He explains that it cannot melt down or be weaponized, and its waste can be recycled as fuel, suggesting its suppression is due to political and military interests rather than technological limitations.
Geological History Debunks Dangerous CO2 Levels Claim
Gregg Braden, a degreed geologist, challenges the notion that current CO2 levels (around 418-420 ppm) are dangerously high. He explains that geological records show periods with CO2 levels of 1,000-2,000 ppm where Earth was lush and green, suggesting that the current narrative is misleading.
The Secret to Defusing Criticism: Unwavering Self-Satisfaction
This moment offers valuable advice on how to handle criticism by first being 100% happy with your own work. It explains that criticism only truly hurts when you know it's valid due to a lack of effort on your part, making it a powerful lesson in personal integrity and self-assessment.
The Unparalleled Scalability of the Human Brain vs. Microprocessors
Gregg Braden contrasts the human brain with microprocessors, noting that while both are fast and efficient, their scalability differs dramatically. He references a Salk Institute study showing comparable numbers of transistors to synapses. Braden explains that microprocessors have a physical limit, but the human brain's 'top end' is unknown. He highlights that when pushed, the brain 'morphs and adapts' to unlock 'a whole new vista of potentials,' demonstrating the unique, divine capacity of human consciousness beyond artificial limits.
Searching for Microbes Next to Massive Monuments on Mars
Gregg Braden highlights the irony of the Viking probes' mission to Mars in the 70s: searching for microbial life while landing next to massive, 50,000-year-old geometric structures and monuments, which represent undeniable signs of advanced life.
Cherish the Gift: Human Evolution and Our Divine Purpose
Gregg Braden delivers a powerful message about the importance of cherishing and honoring the human body. He suggests that human evolution involved an 'intervention' that created our unique mutations, making us a special species worth preserving. This clip inspires listeners to recognize their 'humanness' and 'divinity' before potentially losing it to technology.
Art Bell's Respect and the Contagion of a Positive Approach
Gregg Braden and Joe Rogan discuss Art Bell's unique ability to treat all guests with equal respect, even those with outlandish claims. They segue into the importance of discernment in the age of AI and bots, and how a positive, loving approach to life is contagious and beneficial for everyone.

The Conscious Universe: Galaxies Moving Themselves to Safety
Gregg Braden discusses new physics theories suggesting the universe is alive, intelligent, and conscious. He cites James Webb Space Telescope images showing galaxies actively creating jets to move themselves out of harm's way, challenging the old view of a dead, inert universe and implying an intentionality behind existence.
Unnatural Metals on the Moon & China's Promise of Disclosure
Gregg Braden reveals that Apollo mission lunar samples contained metals not found naturally, suggesting advanced machinery. He then discusses the current 'race for the moon' and China's unique position, being outside historical non-disclosure agreements, promising to televise live what they find on the lunar surface.
Lunar Inscriptions: Messages from Our Past Selves?
Gregg Braden proposes that structures on the moon might contain inscriptions in ancient human languages, suggesting they are not from extraterrestrials but from a previous advanced human civilization that destroyed itself through war. He believes finding such evidence could be a unifying factor for humanity, especially amidst current global conflicts.
Astronauts Saw What? The Truth in Ancient Texts
Joe and Gregg discuss reports of astronauts seeing things on the moon they were not allowed to share, with some revealing secrets on their deathbeds. Braden then connects this to ancient texts from Sumerian, Akkadian, and Babylonian eras, suggesting they tell similar historical stories without religious dogma, hinting at a deeper, suppressed history.
Human Chromosome 2: The Smoking Gun Against Natural Evolution?
Gregg Braden, a geologist, explains how Darwin's theory of human evolution breaks down with new DNA evidence. He highlights Human Chromosome 2, which shows evidence of a telomere-to-telomere fusion that 'does not happen in nature,' suggesting an intentional act in human origins around 200,000 years ago.
Science at a Crossroads: Intelligent Intervention in Evolution
Gregg Braden argues that science is 'stuck' because new DNA evidence challenges Darwin's theory of evolution, suggesting 'intelligent intervention.' He critiques the scientific tendency to force new data into old models rather than allowing evidence to lead to new conclusions, especially when those conclusions point to something beyond current scientific understanding.
VR Goggles & Brain Atrophy: The Diminished Imagination
Gregg Braden warns about the impact of virtual reality goggles on children's developing brains. He explains how constant VR use leads to atrophied parts of the brain responsible for imagination, language, and communication skills, while unnaturally enlarging the visual cortex, citing similar effects observed in shamans with chronic psychedelic use.
Every Human Cell is a Circuit: Trillions of Volts in Your Body
Gregg Braden reveals how Soviet research first depicted human cells as complex circuit diagrams, complete with inputs, outputs, transistors, resistors, and capacitors. He calculates the immense electrical potential within the human body, emphasizing that every cell functions like a technological component.

How Tech Companies and Data Enable Global Control
Gregg and Joe discuss how power and control, especially through tech companies and data, are used to manipulate populations. They argue that a limited few control vast resources and narratives, leveraging social media to divide people and extract wealth. Joe cites Hillary Clinton's comment about controlling social media as evidence of this agenda.
The Purpose of Evil: Denying Human Divinity
Gregg Braden defines evil not as darkness, but as an active force whose purpose is to deny human divinity – our unique capacities for imagination, creativity, empathy, self-healing, and communication. He argues that modern technology, particularly when misused (like AI replacing human creativity or brain interfaces), represents this denial of humanness, which is an expression of evil, playing out a process that has existed for eons.
The Power of Mirror Neurons and Imagination for Healing
Gregg Braden explains the power of mirror neurons, discovered in 2004, which blur the line between watching and experiencing. He demonstrates how this mechanism explains addictive behaviors (like porn) but also reveals our power: by vividly imagining ourselves fully healed or awakened, we can program our bodies. This ability, known to shamans and ancient healers, highlights how much more capable humans are than commonly believed.
Klaus Schwab's Vision: Merging Worlds into an AI Database
Gregg Braden sets up a clip of Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum, articulating the singular goal of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Schwab states this goal as 'the merging of the natural world, the digital world and the biological world, our biological identity' into a 'massive database run by AI.' This clip is valuable for understanding the stated aims of powerful global organizations.
The Chilling Implication of 'Biological Identities' in the 4IR
Following Klaus Schwab's statement, Gregg Braden dissects the phrase 'fusion of our physical, our digital and our biological identities.' Braden points out Schwab's significant pause before mentioning 'biological identities,' explaining that the physical and digital worlds are already 'tokenized' (digital IDs for resources, etc.). The implication is that the final frontier for this fusion, and the most concerning, is the integration of human biological identity into this AI-driven system.
Triumphing Over Evil: The Benchmark of Affirming Your Humanness
Gregg Braden presents a powerful perspective on the 'fundamental struggle between good and evil' in the world, linking it to the denial of human potential. He offers a motivational strategy for triumph: living the best version of ourselves, embracing imagination, empathy, and creation. Braden provides a practical 'benchmark' for evaluating actions and information: 'does it affirm or deny my humanness?' and our core abilities like love, forgiveness, and intuition.
Information Silos & Saul Alinsky's 'Rules for Radicals' in Action
Gregg Braden, from a computer scientist's perspective, explains how social media creates 'information silos.' He illustrates how algorithms feed different, isolated perspectives to family members, leading to fractured understanding and broken social bonds. Braden then connects this phenomenon to Saul Alinsky's 'Rules for Radicals' strategy: 'choose a target, freeze that target, you isolate it, you personalize it, and you polarize it,' demonstrating how this simple algorithm is being actively applied to divide society.
Choosing Love Over Fear in the Face of World Events
Gregg Braden poses a profound question: 'What do we become in the presence of what the world shows us?' He challenges listeners to choose how they respond to global events, such as a disappointing election outcome, rather than succumbing to primal emotions like hate or anger. The core message is to make decisions driven by 'love of families... friends and community' rather than 'fear of what we perceive as our enemy,' emphasizing this choice is made 'every moment of every day.'
The Ancient Struggle: Will We Give Our Humanness to Technology?
Gregg Braden emphasizes that humanity is at a critical juncture, on the 'precipice' of deciding whether to surrender our 'humanness away to technology' or ensure technology serves us without enslaving us. He highlights AI and Brain Computer Interfaces (BCI) as key examples, framing this as part of a larger, 'ancient struggle.' Braden concludes with the powerful idea that 'there's something inside of us that's worth the struggle,' a truth he believes children are not being taught.
Vostok Ice Cores: Temperature Rises BEFORE CO2 Levels
Gregg Braden reveals a crucial finding from Vostok ice cores: temperature historically rises *before* CO2 levels. He explains that this challenges the conventional understanding of CO2 as the primary driver of warming, suggesting an alternative mechanism is at play. This is a highly controversial and thought-provoking scientific insight.
The Earth's Core is Heating the Oceans: A Geologist's Alternative Theory
Gregg Braden proposes a radical theory: the Earth's core, not human activity, is the primary driver of ocean warming. He explains that as oceans warm from underneath, they release CO2 into the atmosphere, challenging the mainstream climate narrative. This clip presents a compelling, contrarian view from a geologist's perspective.
Cosmic Rays and Earth's Core: The 12,500-Year Cycle of Warming
Gregg Braden explains a complex geological theory: cosmic rays from the Milky Way's center periodically hit the Earth's core, heating it and causing mantle perturbations. This, he argues, leads to the oceans warming from underneath in 12,500-year cycles, linking deep Earth processes to climate change and ancient events like the Younger Dryas.
Human DNA is a Fractal Antenna, Tuning to Vast Signals
Gregg Braden highlights a fascinating scientific discovery: human DNA is a three-dimensional fractal antenna. He explains that this means our bodies are capable of tuning into a vast array of signals across a broad spectrum, offering a new perspective on human biology and consciousness. This clip is a mind-bending 'did you know' moment.
Use It or Lose It: How Technology Atrophies Natural Abilities
Gregg Braden explains the 'use it or lose it' principle applied to human biology, particularly brain cells. He argues that replacing natural abilities with synthetics, like technology, leads to atrophy. He uses the example of the hippocampus continually producing new brain cells that die off if not used meaningfully.
Tibetan Monks Shatter Limits of Human Brain Capacity
Gregg Braden uses the example of Tibetan monks to illustrate the untapped potential of the human brain. He recounts how monks, through meditation, pushed brainwave frequencies far beyond the previously believed 40 hertz limit, reaching 80, 100 (gamma), and even 200 hertz (hyper gamma). Braden then reveals the 'mind-blower': monks consciously drove their brain state to 0.5 hertz while remaining fully conscious, challenging scientific assumptions about brain activity. This demonstrates that through 'nothing more than breath and focus,' humans can 'exceeding the brain capacity that we thought we had in the past.'
Heart Math: Harmonizing Your Heart & Brain for Instant Coherence
Gregg Braden introduces the Institute of Heart Math, a pioneering research organization that explores the heart's power beyond a simple pump. He reveals their 1991 discovery of 40,000 'sensory neurites' in the human heart—neurons that think, feel, and process independently from the brain. Braden explains that trauma is stored in both the brain and heart, and Heart Math offers simple techniques to harmonize these two neural networks into a 'single potent system,' creating 'coherence' at will, a unique human ability to achieve 0.1 hertz.
The Incredible Benefits of Heart-Brain Coherence: Immunity, Longevity & Intuition
Gregg Braden outlines the extensive benefits of achieving heart-brain coherence. He describes 'passive benefits' including a supercharged immune system, awakened longevity enzymes and stem cells, and restored resilience to change by resetting heart rate variability to a youthful state. Furthermore, 'active benefits' involve profound 'deep intuition,' enabling precognition where the heart senses events before they occur, supported by scientific evidence. Braden notes over 1300 positive biochemical reactions from this harmonization.
Achieve Heart-Brain Coherence: Steps 1 & 2 (Focus & Breath)
Gregg Braden outlines the first two of three simple steps from the Institute of Heart Math to achieve heart-brain coherence. Step one involves shifting your focus from your mind to your heart, often aided by physically touching the heart, a technique practiced by indigenous cultures globally. Step two is to slow your breathing, specifically exhaling for a longer duration than inhaling, which triggers the parasympathetic nervous system and signals to your body, 'I am safe.'
Achieve Heart-Brain Coherence: Step 3 (Choose Gratitude) & Potent Affirmations
Gregg Braden details the third and most powerful step to achieving heart-brain coherence: consciously choosing to feel a positive emotion, with gratitude being universally effective. He highlights humanity's unique ability to generate feelings intentionally, rather than just in reaction to external events. This chosen feeling, combined with slow breathing, sends a 0.1 hertz signal from the heart to the brain, producing all the discussed benefits (immune response, longevity, etc.). Braden also explains that this coherent state acts as a 'hotline to the subconscious,' making affirmations significantly more potent.
Bypass Ego Loops: Heart-Brain Coherence for Objectivity & Intuition
Gregg Braden explains how heart-brain coherence is powerful for increasing intuition and, crucially, for bypassing the 'ego loops' of the brain. He notes that the brain operates in polarity (right/wrong, good/bad), but the heart is 'non-polarity.' By harmonizing the two, one can avoid emotional reactions to criticism and become more objective. Braden shares a personal anecdote from a Cisco boardroom where this technique allowed him to process criticism without taking it personally, leading to more effective responses.
Manage Your Energy: Don't Let Social Media Negativity Rob Your Joy
Joe Rogan and Gregg Braden discuss the impact of criticism, noting that while intelligent criticism can be valuable, much of it is designed to hurt. Joe introduces a powerful analogy for energy management: imagine you have 'a hundred energies for the day.' Spending 30-40 units on social media negativity and criticism will 'rob the 60% that you really enjoy,' detracting from time with friends, family, hobbies, and other passions. This clip offers a practical framework for prioritizing mental and emotional well-being by consciously allocating one's daily energy.
'Work is Love Made Visible': A Transformative Perspective
Gregg Braden shares a powerful personal story about how Khalil Gibran's quote, 'Work is love made visible,' changed his perspective on even the most arduous jobs, turning a midnight warehouse shift into an opportunity for a 'great workout.' This clip is highly motivational, showing how to find meaning and purpose in any task.
Al Gore's 'An Inconvenient Truth': Was it Inaccurate and Hyped?
Joe Rogan and Gregg Braden discuss the lasting impact and alleged inaccuracies of Al Gore's 'An Inconvenient Truth' film. They highlight how the film 'freaked everybody out' with predictions that haven't materialized, while wealthy individuals continue to buy coastal properties, questioning the narrative and its financial motivations.
The Pong Experiment: How Neurons Tune to the 'Field'
Gregg Braden recounts a 2022 experiment where neurons in a petri dish, without human connection, learned to play Pong and improved over time. He uses this to illustrate that instructions are not solely in the neurons, but that neurons act as biological antennas tuning into a pervasive 'field.' He then connects this to the discovery of the Higgs field and asserts that humans, with trillions of atoms emerging and collapsing into this field, *are* the field, making us incredibly powerful for healing and self-regulation.
The Last Generation of Pure Humans? AI and the Transhuman Movement
Gregg Braden warns that believing humans are 'flawed' leads us to seek technology as a 'savior,' driving the transhuman movement to replace natural biology with chips and chemicals. He states experts predict that by 2032, we may be the last generation of 'pure humans' before widespread technological integration into the body.
The 'Who Are They?' Agenda: Climate, War, Social Bonds, Transhumanism
Gregg Braden connects seemingly disparate global issues—climate goals pushing for global cooling, perpetual war, the breakdown of social bonds, and the transhumanist movement—into a cohesive 'agenda.' He argues these actions are detrimental to humanity and asks, 'Who would that be good for?' This clip offers a provocative and comprehensive look at perceived global control mechanisms.
The Battle for Our Humanness: Technology and Control
Gregg Braden discusses two parallel themes: a concerted effort to remake our world and bodies using new technology, and modern science revealing humans are far more capable than believed. He argues that we are in a 'battle for our humanness' in this generation, as external forces seek to deny our extraordinary potentials for self-regulation, critical thinking, and sovereignty. Joe Rogan then identifies the core problem as power and control.
UK's Digital IDs and Social Media Arrests: An Orwellian Nightmare
Joe Rogan highlights disturbing trends in the UK, including the implementation of digital IDs and over 12,000 arrests for mild social media posts, even for liking or viewing content. He calls it an 'Orwell nightmare' and criticizes the mainstream media's silence and America's lack of outrage over these attacks on fundamental Western principles of free expression.
