August 24, 2001: The Isaiah Effect - Gregg Braden | More Crop Glyphs - Richard C. Hoagland
Hoagland details differences between the Arecibo message and the crop glyph response, including the addition of silicon to the element list and an altered solar system diagram consistent with his tidal model of missing planets. The face and rectangular glyphs appeared simultaneously in a field directly adjacent to the Chilbolton telescope, oriented with the forehead pointing toward the research facility. The website crashes under unprecedented traffic as listeners worldwide attempt to view the images.
Gregg Braden, author of The Isaiah Effect, connects the crop glyph phenomenon to ancient traditions describing this era as a time of great change. He discusses a fifth DNA base called 5-methylcytosine that diminishes with aging, and references 1998 research showing AIDS patients developing genetic mutations granting up to 3,000 times greater immune response. He suggests human emotion directly modulates DNA, proposing an internal technology referenced in the Dead Sea Scrolls' Isaiah text.
Key Moments
Chilbolton glyph: a message from our past: Hoagland argues the differences between the Arecibo message and the Chilbolton crop reply, including a 21-billion DNA count, suggest the senders are telling us our past is far older and more interesting than imagined.
Three findings of the Isaiah Effect: Art reads Braden's three claims: we communicate with our world through an unrecognized energy outside spacetime; DNA influences the physical world; and we influence DNA through prayer and emotion.
Drop of blood reveals a fetus image: Braden describes Sue Benford running a Delaware-style image through NASA's VP8 analyzer, producing a fully three-dimensional rendering of the fetus from a single drop of a pregnant woman's blood.
Dannion Brinkley fax: prayer entered a parallel universe: Art reads a live fax from Dannion Brinkley claiming group prayer or willful intent saved his life and let him enter a parallel universe, endorsing Braden's research.
Lost mode of prayer: feeling, not words: Braden explains the Isaiah scroll teaches a non-religious internal technology where what we feel in the body, not what we say or think, speaks to the forces of creation, so we feel peace as already existing.
