Unlocking Your Divine Potential: Greg Braden on Human Divinity and Transcendence

Greg Braden, five-time New York Times bestselling author and pioneer in bridging science and human potential, joins Lewis Howes to discuss the untapped power of human divinity and how we can access it to transform our lives.

Braden begins by explaining that there is something inside humans that is so powerful, beautiful, ancient and precious that there have always been forces trying to shield us from it. This is our innate divinity - our ability to transcend perceived limitations.

He argues that there is currently a concerted effort to veil us from our own divinity, because when we are disconnected from it, we become more vulnerable to fear and control. Braden sees the next 5 years as critical, with a push towards transhumanism and replacing our biology with technology by 2030. He urges us to protect and preserve our human bodies and divinity during this time.

Some key points Braden makes about human divinity and potential:

• Our bodies are an advanced "soft technology" with capabilities beyond what modern science can replicate. We have 50 trillion cells that act as antennas tuning us into an energetic field underlying all existence.

• Trauma creates chemical imprints (neuropeptides) in our bodies that can be released through techniques like breathwork. This allows us to heal emotionally as well.

• We have conscious and subconscious stories about ourselves that define our relationships and experiences. We must choose not to be defined by past trauma.

• Knowledge is power - understanding our true potential gives us reasons to think differently about ourselves.

• Our divinity is the essence of our humanness - it's where our ability to love, forgive, heal, innovate and create comes from.

• We triumph over evil not by fighting, but by living as the best version of ourselves and expressing our divinity fearlessly.

Braden outlines some practical steps for tapping into our divinity and transforming our lives:

1. Know you have a choice and are not powerless
2. Be willing to embrace the truth of your humanness and divinity
3. Use techniques like breathwork to release trauma physically
4. Change the meaning/significance you give to past experiences
5. Surround yourself with people who have a healthy sense of self
6. Listen to your body as you start feeling differently
7. Make choices that honor and nourish your body/temple

He emphasizes that healing is a journey, not an event. We're already healed or we wouldn't be here - we're just seeking deeper levels of healing. Our bodies are wired to heal when given the right emotional environment.

Ultimately, Braden says it comes down to love - do we love ourselves enough to accept the gift of our humanness and divinity? When we live from that place of self-love and express our divinity fearlessly, we can transform not only our own lives but the world around us.

He leaves us with his definition of greatness: saying yes to what the universe brings to our doorstep and doing our very best to let our divine light, love, skills and talents shine through in a way that brings joy to ourselves and others.

Braden's message is a powerful reminder of the untapped potential within each of us. By reclaiming our divinity and living from that place of power, we can transcend our perceived limitations and create lives of true abundance, peace and fulfillment.
