15. Max Planck, from a speech that he gave in Florence, Italy, in 1944, entitled: “Das Wesen der Materie” (The Essence/Nature/Character of Matter). Source: Archiv zur Geschichte der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft, Abt. Va, Rep. 11 Planck, Nr. 1797.
Below I have included a portion of that speech in the original German, with the English translation following.
Original German: “Als Physiker, der sein ganzes Leben der nüchternen Wissenschaft, der Erforschung der Materie widmete, bin ich sicher von dem Verdacht frei, für einen Schwarmgeist gehalten zu werden. Und so sage ich nach meinen Erforschungen des Atoms dieses: Es gibt keine Materie an sich. Alle Materie entsteht und besteht nur durch eine Kraft, welche die Atomteilchen in Schwingung bringt und sie zum winzigsten Sonnensystem des Alls zusammenhält. Da es im ganzen Weltall aber weder eine intelligente Kraft noch eine ewige Kraft gibt - es ist der Menschheit nicht gelungen, das heißersehnte Perpetuum mobile zu erfinden - so müssen wir hinter dieser Kraft einen bewußten intelligenten Geist annehmen. Dieser Geist ist der Urgrund aller Materie.”
English Translation: “As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear-headed science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as a result of my research about the atoms this much: There is no matter as such! All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particles of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together… . We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent Mind. This Mind is the matrix of all matter.”

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
New York Times best-selling author Gregg Braden has been a featured guest for international conferences and media specials, exploring the role of spirituality in technology. A former senior computer systems designer (Martin Marietta Aerospace), computer geologist (Phillips Petroleum), and technical operations manager (Cisco Systems), Gregg is considered a leading authority on bridging the wisdom of our past with the science, healing, and peace of our future.
For more than 20 years, Gregg has searched high mountain villages, remote monaster
ies, ancient temples, and forgotten texts to uncover their timeless secrets. His search led to the 2004 release of his paradigm-shattering book The God Code, revealing the actual words of an ancient message coded into the DNA of all life.
Between 1998 and 2005, Gregg’s journeys into the monasteries of central Tibet revealed a forgotten form of prayer that was lost during the biblical edits of the early Christian church. In his 2006 release, Secrets of the Lost Mode of Prayer, he documents this mode of prayer that has no words or outward expression, yet gives us direct access to the quantum force that connects all things.
From his groundbreaking book Awakening to Zero Point, to the intimacy of Walking Between the Worlds and the controversy of The Isaiah Effect, Gregg’s work awakens the best in each of us, inspiring our deepest passions with the tools to build a better world.
