The Hermetic Code in DNA: The Sacred Principles in the Ordering of the Universe

Michael Hayes is not a formally trained scientist yet in spite of that, or perhaps because of that, his book has the clear tone of authenticity and "elegance". For those who wish to go beyond the formal, basic, scientific knowledge presented by many college professors, Hayes draws from an understanding of music, esoteric philosophy, and the I Ching. He is part of a small cadre of brilliant and brave people dedicated to taking us to a higher understanding of DNA, and the ancient knowledge (which many scientists now dismiss as myth) of the inherent intelligence it possesses. We are in the middle of a revolution of understanding. Spirituality and science are merging (as they once were) and Hayes presents complex material in clear and interesting ways. If you love Graham Hancock, Colin Wilson, and many others in the forefront of the New Science of Humankind, then you will love this book. Enjoy!

DNA has been in the forefront of virtually every aspect of our modern lives,from cloning to criminal investigations.And we should not forget Zacharia Zitchin,Shannon Dorey and, of course,Joseph P. Farrell, in their explorations into the DNA molecule. However, I found Michael Hayes' book going deeper into the subject than anyone has, so far. It is not an easily read book, but one that deserves the time and patience to explore its fascinating ideas.It is quite obvious that an incredibly profound mystery lies hidden in each and everyone of us, and Michael Hayes has shed some light on its implications for our future existence. Well worth the time and effort!

The book is vert informative on how our DNA and the I-Ching evolve us and the universe to a higher scale of existence,with a study of math and vibrations.

22/7. That about sums up most of the concrete information in this book. The author provides a wide ranging survey around metaphysical concepts surrounding the nature of reality and Hermetics. If you don't know anything about Hermetics, resonance, or any metaphysical books printed in the past few years then this is a good place to start.However, if you are aware of many of the authors around alternative human histories then your search for the secrets that this book may claim to have at face value will leave you largely frustrated. You get short segments around the octaves comprising 22 notes (8 notes to the octave, thus 7 notes *3 octaves +1 to cap the transition to the fourth octave, 7*3+1 = 22). And you get some cursory math around Pi in the pyramids of Giza and Central America. But that's about all you are going to be able to point to here.There are many interesting bits here. The author surely does draw from a great number of sources. But in the end you feel that the synthesis of information as to where the author was pointing to never really got concretized.If you want to get into harmonics and resonance then better places to start are with either Nassim Haramein (resonance project) or Hazrat Inayat Khan (a Sufi).

Very good. I would highly recommend it.

nice book, daughter reading it and can not put it down

The Hermetic Code in DNA: The Sacred Principles in the Ordering of the UniverseBy Michael Hayes(Inner Traditions, 2008)This book is not meant for the light reader who wants an easy fix. Being a longtime follower of Gurdjieff and Ouspensky, I found this information an important addition to my understanding of the harmonies that form the bedrock of all manifestation. Reading this book demands your attention to details and being able to place them in a broader understanding. Michael Hayes takes us one huge step forward in understanding what was meant by, “In the beginning was the word.” Well worth the read.Rahasya Poe, Lotus Guide

Groundbreaking science today coincides with ancient philosophies and religions from all over the world in identifying distinct numerical patterns that would seem to hold the secrets of the universe.In The Hermetic Code in DNA , Michael Hayes reveals that these patterns are connected by a precise code, the Hermetic Code, apparently known to ancient cultures but lost over time. Grounded in this code are the harmonic ratios of the octaves underlying what we call music, the overtones of which make a striking appearance in the very basis of biological life: DNA.So... life is music. Let's tune in...The opening chapter begins with a discussion of archaeological, geologic and mythological evidence indicating that the origin of scientifically sophisticated human civilization on earth dates back far longer than modern conventional wisdom would allow. Prehistoric civilizations, Hayes tells us, seem to have been almost entirely preoccupied with the idea of order and harmony on a universal scale. In his search to ascertain the origin of the Hermetic Code, he finds evidence of its most fundamental component--the octave, the sacred constant--dating back at least 75,000 years.The book continues with an exploration into a higher octave of consciousness known to the ancients but now obscure, the secrets of the great pyramids, the essence of time and space, reincarnation, mathematics, religious traditions and more... and how all of it relates to the code that determines, for each and every one of us, the essence of who we are.Clearly written, thoroughly indexed and packed with compelling descriptions of multitudes of phenomena we've all heard about but of which most of us have little understanding, The Hermetic Code in DNA is an exciting and wonderful read.
