DB: You have a new book coming out in January, and you’ll be in Anchorage in September talking about some of this material – what’s it about?

GB: The new book and program I’ll be presenting stems from a 12-year research project that began when I was an aerospace engineer during the end of the Cold War. I was working in Denver on the Peacekeeper missile program, which was the U.S. answer to the Soviet threat of nuclear war. Together, our answer and their threat provided “Mutually Assured Destruction and Deterrence,” which sounds like an insane strategy, wherein if either side were to initiate the atrocities through nuclear weapons, nobody would ever win.

Working within that context, I was researching and writing about ancient texts. My sense was that somewhere in our history, we were left a clue as to how we might discover a principle of unity that would transcend any of our differences such as those leading up to the Cold War, so that maybe we’d never have to have a Cold War again. Somewhere in our past, there must be a way that we could look beyond the differences that we believe separate us into a common bond that links all of us, something that could not be denied once it was recognized.

It was from this perspective that I began the research project in the late 1980s. That project is not complete. However, it is at a point of completion that stands upon its own and that discovery is the basis for the new book and the program I’m doing in Anchorage.

What the discovery has shown is that there is a mathematic link between ancient biblical alphabets, such as Hebrew and Arabic, and the human genetic code. When we look at our genetic code, we may see letters that don’t seem to make much sense – T, C, C, G, A, G, T, etc. When we replace those letters with their equivalents in the ancient alphabets, however, we find a meaningful, translatable text message encoded within every cell of every human who has ever walked this earth.

DB: That’s fairly amazing!

GB: Yes, the fact that the message is there says to us that there is an intelligence that underlies our existence. We can’t deny that because the message is there. Secondly, I believe that when we begin to understand what the message says to us, we will see it lays the foundation of the principle that I believed was there back during the Cold War – a message that says we are greater as a species than any difference that has ever separated us in the past. Now, while we may still choose to kill one another and have the suffering that we impose on one another, we can no longer use our differences as the means to justify those types of atrocities.

DB: Because?

GB: Because that message is held within every human regardless of lifestyle, beliefs, religion, race, age, heritage or bloodline. The same message within each of us says that beyond all those differences there is a common denominator that links us all as a global family. That is the power of the message in our cells!

The implications of the language within the biology of life are staggering. They are also very controversial. The implications in terms of theology, religion, microbiology and genetics say that life, from this perspective, is not random; that there is intelligence and order and intention. The implications in terms of human evolution are vast, though my focus is to use this message as a principle of unity and peace in a time that may be the most critical time in human history.

DB: Is this genetic text translated?

GB: The text appears to exist in layers. And each layer has its own key or code to be translated. It took me 12 years to find the first key to the first layer. That first layer is a relatively brief text, which I will be sharing in the program and in the book. The same key or translations do not work for the other layers.

DB: So, it is an unfolding mystery…

GB: I think part of the mystery is that it is only in our ability to see our world as unified that we are given access to the wisdom this kind of worldview allows for. The only way that I could have ever found this link is through transcending the traditional boundaries that we place upon the sciences and marrying all that we know into a greater wisdom. I feel it was my perspective of a unified worldview that allowed me to find that code. Once I found it, I had to find experts in ancient languages, molecular biology and linguistics to validate what it was that I was looking at in their field of expertise. So, I think part of what the message in our cells is all about is connected to the realization that the only way we are ever going to find this message or understand this wisdom is to look beyond our traditional boundaries of compartmentalized science.

The reason this is important is that we are living in a unique time in human history. Over the past 18 months, I’ve had the opportunity to be on every continent except Antarctica, and almost universally there is a sense among the people of the world that we are living in a time that is unlike any other time that they recall or that their history allows for. Science and statistics bear this out. In the last 100 years alone, we’ve acquired the ability to customize genes in our gene pool, in the womb, in an unborn child. Is this right, wrong, good or bad? We are still struggling to understand, but the point is that we can do it. We can modify our weather patterns in ways that go beyond simple seeding for clouds. We have the ability to move high and low pressure systems across entire land masses. We have the ability to create forms of life that have never been seen in this world before, and to create forms of matter that would never be found under natural conditions. We can do these things. These are powers that historically have been left to what have been called God and Nature.

So, we have these abilities on the one hand – an amazing technology that allows us to tap the forces of Nature as we never have before -- and on the other hand, children are still orphans and families are still destroyed from diseases that spread unchallenged across entire continents. We still find ourselves suffering at the hands of one another from cruelties based upon our differences. All this in the presence of such amazing technology! We have to ask ourselves, why? Why are we living this dichotomy? How can these things both be happening at the same time?

DB: It’s an incredible range, isn’t it?

GB: Before his death in 1996, the astronomer Carl Sagan coined a term to describe our time in history that I find applies very well. He said we are living in “technological adolescence.” It’s a time when a species gains the ability to tap the forces of nature before they mature into the wisdom of how that technology is applied. Sagan was often asked if he thought we were the only species or civilization on earth that has reached this time in history. He replied that there were two possibilities: perhaps we are the very first in all the cosmos to reach this, and that is why we don’t see evidence of other civilizations having done what we have done. Since his death, however, we know more clearly that this doesn’t seem likely – and that is what makes the second possibility even more disturbing. Sagan said that if we are not the first, then maybe that we are living a cycle that is typical of civilizations reaching a level of technological sophistication, and that the reason we do not see more of this in the cosmos or even in our own backyard is because such civilizations typically destroy themselves in the learning process; they do not survive the learning curve to gain the wisdom of how to use these technological abilities wisely.

We are living in a unique time, and we have just closed a century. Technologically and scientifically, a lot of good things happened. Socially and in terms of civilizations, it was a devastating century. Historian Eric Hobsbawm has called it “the most murderous century in recorded history.” Statistics show that over 187 million lives were lost just because people were different – be it in heritage, bloodlines, belief. This is by far, per capita, greater than anything that happened during the time of the Romans, the Spanish Inquisition, anything up until the 20th Century.

The reason I’m sharing these very uncomfortable statistics is that in the first three years of the 21st Century, the type of thinking that led to these kinds of numbers appears to remain. And to compound the situation – in addition to having the thinking that justifies killing one another because we are different – we also have the advanced technology in terms of weapons and communication that makes that kind of killing very efficient.

It’s within this context that I believe we must find a principle that excludes no one. A principle of unity that says to us that at the most fundamental level we are part of something much greater than ourselves, and once this principle is recognized, it shows beyond a shadow of a doubt, in a way that cannot be denied, that we are greater than our differences and we are part of one another.

DB: It’s one thing to understand this mentally – and what you are presenting is certainly exciting in that framework – but how will this knowledge become activated in the world? How will it touch people at deeper levels of their being, so that there is truly an undeniable inner knowing, and how will this knowing be activated on a global scale?

GB: The work that I have done since visiting Anchorage in 1998 is primarily embodied in unpublished material that I call Living in the Mind of God. This is not a religious term; the ‘Mind of God’ is a term coined by physicists to describe a field of energy that has only been recently validated. The energy field links all of creation in ways we’re only beginning to understand. It is described with three characteristics. In the early 1990s, quantum physicists began to confirm that we are permeated by a field of energy that is everywhere, a part of all that we see, even in-between the places where we think there is nothing. The second characteristic is that it appears to have been here always, from the time the scientists call the Big Bang. Thirdly, and this is where it gets very interesting, this field of energy appears to have intelligence. It is an intelligent field of energy that links all of creation, including all people of this world. And it is a field of energy that responds to coherent human emotions – not scattered, random emotions, but coherent, heart-based human emotions.

What the studies show is that when a relatively few number of people find a way to express feeling in a coherently, heart-based way – not a thought, not an angry protest, but a consciousness expressed through their heart center – this field of energy responds. It is through our hearts that we speak the nonverbal language that connects us to this field. And a relatively few number of people may evoke a consciousness that is mirrored in the world around them through this field of energy.

We in the Western World appear to need a reason to justify our beliefs before we’re willing to change them. In other words, we may all sense we are one and that we’re a family, but it’s kind of a mental abstraction because we don’t really have a lot of proof as to how that works. But when we can actually see a literal text message encoded within the cells of each of our bodies, it becomes more concrete. That understanding is a reason for us to find a way to transcend our differences. And once a relatively few number of people find a way to do this, it is mirrored in this field into a greater experience. It happens in the corporate boardroom. It happens in small communities. The statistics are now showing that it happens on a much broader level. We know that these things work. What is happening now is that it’s all being put together.

During the Lebanese/Israeli War of the early 1980s, the International Project for Peace implemented this process. Although they didn’t exactly understand why it worked, they found that during a window of time when a certain number of people were trained to experience coherent feelings of peace in their hearts – not just thoughts of peace – the terrorist activities in the Middle East dropped to 0, crimes against people dropped to 0, hospital emergency room visits declined, and when they stopped, statistically all of these results were reversed. This was published in the Journal of Conflict Resolution.

DB: So, in many ways, this is already present, and has always been present.

GB: Through experiments such as the one mentioned, the principles have already been implemented. The discovery in ourselves says that we are part of something much greater, that there is intelligence in the universe, and the way that we speak with that intelligence is through our heart fields. And if we were ever looking for a reason to justify creating peace among ourselves, what that message says – and the fact that the message is here – lays a foundation for that reason. We may find that our past has been the catalyst, patiently leading us to the most ancient source of knowledge in existence, the library within each of us that has held our secrets from the first day of our existence.
