Using the analogy of copper wire wound around an iron bar, Braden describes how Earth generates its magnetic field through the rotation of inner cores around an iron center. He explains that geologic records preserved in ocean floor lava reveal at least 14 magnetic reversals in the last 4.5 million years. The most recent occurred between 10,500 and 13,000 years ago, correlating with the end of the last ice age. Ancient calendars from Mayan, Egyptian, and Tibetan traditions all terminate in this current era.
Braden presents research showing that human DNA may be a variable code responding to environmental conditions. He cites a 1996 global blood study revealing that a significant portion of the population has activated dormant genetic codes conferring high resistance to the AIDS virus. He argues that emotion serves as the biological switch controlling these genetic changes, connecting modern science to what the ancients called the technology of compassion.
Key Moments
Earth's magnetic field has fallen from 10 to ~1.5 in 2,000 years: Braden walks Art through the magnetic-field decline: at peak 2,000 years ago, on a 1-to-10 scale Earth now sits at about 1 to 1.5. The decline is logarithmic - 6% lost in just the last 100 years - and at least 14 times in the last 4.5 million years Earth's magnetics have fallen all the way to zero, last documented in the rock record 10,500 to 13,000 years ago.
Earth's 7.8 Hz heartbeat is rising - convergence at zero point: Braden introduces the second measurable parameter: Earth's Schumann-resonance 'pulse,' historically constant at 7.8 Hz for so long the military built communications and weapons on it, was placed under an IGY 1958 publication ban - and in the mid-1980s began rising. Falling magnetics meeting rising frequency define the 'zero point' the ancient Mayan, Egyptian, and Tibetan calendars converge on.
Ancient chambers tuned to today's Earth - the King's Chamber: Braden reports that with aerospace-grade equipment in the mid-to-late 1980s his team measured ancient sacred-site chambers worldwide and found they simulated the very Earth conditions humanity is living through right now. Art confirms: when he laid in the sarcophagus in the King's Chamber at Giza, acoustic studies by Boris and Dr. DeBecky put the resonance just above 7 Hz - tuned to Earth.
