They were hinting at ideas like the Big Bang, parallel universes, the so-called God particle, and even the quantum field. And here's where it gets really cool. When you get this, like really get it, you understand exactly how to align with the universal flow.Could that be the reason this wisdom was kept under lock and key for centuries? Can't have the peasants realizing their power right?So let's take back that power back and return to our divine roots. Our guest is Peter Canova.
