A tight and unmarked copy-" A coded message has been found within the molecules of life, deep within DNA in each cell of our bodies. Through a remarkable discovery linking Biblical alphabets to our genetic code, the "language of life" may now be read as the ancient letters of a timeless message. Regardless of race, religion, heritage, or lifestyle, the message is the same in each cell every woman, child, and man, past and present. Sharing all-new fascinating research, Gregg Braden discusses the life-changing discovery that led him from a successful career in the aerospace and defense industries to an extensive 12-year study of the most sacred and honored traditions of humankind Review: Author and computer systems designer Gregg Braden wrapped this entire book around the premise that God's name is literally encoded into every human body. According to Braden's logic, the basic elements of DNA--hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon--directly translate into specific letters of the Hebrew alphabet (YHVA), which then translate into the original name of God. Braden's hope is that knowing that God's signature is carried within each cell of the estimated six billion humans on earth will give humankind the evidence we need to overcome our differences and renew our faith: Beyond Christian, Jew, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Shinto, Native, Aboriginal, white, black, red, or yellow; man, woman, or child, the message reminds us that we are human. As humans, we share the same ancestors and exist as the children of the same Creator. In the moments that we doubt this one immutable truth, we need to look no further than the cells of our body to be reminded. This is the power of the message within our cells. One could argue that this melding of spirituality and science may be the next frontier in human evolution. Nonetheless, skeptics could also argue that this DNA=YHVA equation is an eerie coincidence, instead of a quantum breakthrough--like folding a $20 bill in a certain shape and seeing the twin towers in flames (Braden dispels such skepticism by asserting that the "odds that this relationship has occurred by chance are approximately 1 in 200,000")., Hay House Inc., 2005, 4, David Brown Book Co, June 2003. Paper Back. New. The fundamental question Jesuit Paul Mommaers asks and seeks to answer -- ''If mystical experience is not a monopoly of Christians, how essential to it is the bodily presence of Christ?'' -- resonates in these pages by way of scholarly attention and clear-sighted prose. A quick flip through his bibliography testifies he's done the work to back it up. Mommaers begins with a discussion of the differences between image and idol, noting that the idea of the Absolute as a detached presence from materiality seems engrained in us. No doubt agnostic and Buddhist styles of spirituality are in vogue. Is the true contemplative gifted with an imageless experience, and if not, how is the imageless married with the image? The Christian responds with little hesitancy, ''Jesus is the image and the Reality.'' Mommaers points out image is not an imaginative way of knowing but an anthropological view that sees man and woman ontologically related to God. But it also has a psychological movement, as in ''going beyond the image'' to experience something more of Presence. The term ''veneration'' rises here. Discussing many of the medieval mystics, Mommaers explores the experience (and fallacies) of ecstasy and the role of the intermediary in prayer. Hadewijch, a thirteenth century Beguine, writes, ''I desired that his Humanity should to the fullest extent be one in fruition with my humanity.'' Paul Mommaers goes a fair distance in clarifying this marriage of being materialized in the person of Christ., David Brown Book Co, 6<

A distinctive feature of mystical experience is that it is imageless. Mystics of various traditions witness indeed to their going beyond all intermediaries so as to enjoy immediate union. Understandably, the idea of imageless immediacy is attractive, and it is especially in vogue with those who hope to discover that different (religious) spiritualities converge if only the particularity of, say, the Christian way would be left behind. However, a crucial question arises here. If mystical union consists in simply transcending what is part and parcel of the human condition, where is its relevance? Is the mystic as such in a position to be his or her human self - thinking and loving, enjoying and suffering? Can he or she be active in the world of humankind? Obviously, it is especially in the Christian tradition that this matter comes to the fore as a radical difficulty. For here there is the divine Image and Mediator, so much so that the Humanity of Jesus ought to be integral to a person's union with God. Perhaps the Christian mystic is such an extraordinary figure that the Humanity and all other images and intermediaries are, for him or her, at best a stepping-stone that is bound to disappear? The Riddle of Christian Mystical Experience aims to clarify this issue by analyzing the writings of such visionaries as Julian of Norwich, Teresa of Avila and Maria Petyt; of the ecstasy-minded masters Richard of Saint Victor, Bernard of Clairvaux and Bonaventure (describing Francis of Assisi's experience); of the cream of the Flemish mystics, namely Hadewijch and Jan van Ruusbroec. Nevertheless, the preference for the mystical text does not prevent the Riddle from drawing on the insights of modern philosophers such as Jean-Paul Sartre and Jean-Luc Marion when treating of images and idols, or Michael Polanyi and Ludwig Wittgenstein when reflecting on intermediaries. The main result of this procedure may come as a surprise. Far from turning into a detached creature who forgets about the Humanity and the human, the full-fledged mystic is, as a Flemish mystic puts it, wholly in God, where he rests in enjoyment, and wholly in himself, where he loves with works. Experiencing union with intermediary and without intermediary, the true Christian mystic is unimaged as well as imaged upon the humanity of our Lord through heartfelt affection.
