The Wisdom Codes: Ancient Words to Rewire Our Brains and Heal Our Hearts

by Gregg Braden

We think in words. We speak in words. In the silence of our minds, we hear the word-messages of our subconscious thoughts repeating at the dizzying rate of 60,000 to 80,000 times each day, according to scientific estimates.

Whorf’s 20th-century discoveries and recent scientific revelations in the fields of neuroscience and biology are telling us the same story. They point to the same relationship. Our words influence the chemistry in our bodies, the neurons in our brains, and the way our neurons connect and “fire” to determine: How we think of ourselves and solve our problems What we are even capable of thinking about

The chemical codes of human life, our DNA strands, are typically simplified by using four letters of the alphabet—C, T, A, G—as a shorthand representing the four proteins that make life possible: cytosine, thymine, adenine, and guanine. While some proteins contain as many as hundreds of underlying amino acids, by using different combinations of the shorthand, it becomes possible to read, write, and describe even the most complex proteins quickly and easily.

The beauty that you live with, the beauty that you live by, the beauty upon which you base your life.

Om Namah Shivaya. USE: This code is a traditional Hindu mantra that awakens our self-confidence to find strength and purpose in life.

Strive to make your love greater than your need and let love be the most powerful force in your life. Then nothing can overcome you.

The power of love to heal, to free us from the burden of hate, and to catapult us beyond our suffering is a theme that has been recognized, analyzed, and shared by the learned masters of the past. The 13th-century Sufi poet Jalāl ad-Dīn ar-Rūmī, known simply as Rumi, beautifully summarized our relationship to this universal force: Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.

In the Gospel of Thomas, for example, the author describes the power of love as part of a discourse from the master teacher Jesus: “Blessed is the man who has suffered, and found life.”

to feel our love, we must be vulnerable to our pain. It’s through the depth of our hurt that we discover how deeply we can feel. And as we allow ourselves to feel, rather than trying to mask or deny our feelings, we discover our capacity for love.

Simply put, hurt is the price that we sometimes pay to discover that we already have the love we need to heal ourselves. Sometimes, merely knowing of the relationship between wisdom, hurt, and love is enough to catapult us from the pain at one end of our emotional spectrum to the healing that awaits at the other end of the spectrum.

Almost universally, the power of forgiveness has been acknowledged throughout time and across cultures and continents. American writer Ernest Holmes described this power beautifully when he said, “Through the power of love, we can let go of past history and begin again.”

Just to be clear, for the purpose of this discussion, the act of forgiveness is being treated as a personal act that is intended for personal healing. As described beautifully by Andrea Brandt, Ph.D., forgiveness doesn’t excuse what another person has done; it doesn’t mean that you need to tell another person that he or she is forgiven; it doesn’t mean that you should forget what has happened or should not continue to have strong feelings about a violation of trust or a physical or emotional boundary. And perhaps most importantly, forgiveness isn’t for the person that you are forgiving. It’s for you. Forgiveness is an act of love that you perform for yourself.

Brandt describes forgiveness beautifully, stating, “By forgiving, you are accepting the reality of what happened and finding a way to live in a state of resolution with it.”

WISDOM CODE 15: If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you.

We are the Field. The atoms of our physical bodies are constantly appearing and disappearing, emerging and collapsing, following the blueprint of our consciousness to produce the selves that we are familiar with. In other words, we are like artists expressing our deepest passions, fears, and desires through the living essence of a mysterious quantum canvas. But unlike a conventional artist’s canvas, which exists in one place at a given time, our canvas is the same stuff that everything else is made of. It exists everywhere. It’s always present.

Code Meaning I am I claim in the Universal Field that the action following this statement is already manifest in a state of existence. that The state of existence is present and sustained. I am I claim in the Universal Field that the action following this statement is already manifest in a state of existence.

To optimize our success when it comes to altering the relationships, health, abundance, and success that the Field is reflecting to us, we must be clear on our desired outcome, while at the same time remaining free of our attachment to the outcome. Although at first blush this may sound like a contradiction, when we break down the statements, the reason why to both specify our desire and also detach from it becomes clear.

When we have an attachment to a particular outcome, we can only have that attachment by comparing our experience to something else. And it’s through comparison that we fall into the ancient trap of judgment. We tend to hold our experience in the light of what someone else has accomplished and judge our success or failure by making the comparison.
