Albert Einstein's brain had significantly more folds than an average brain, providing him with greater surface area and more neurons, which are biological antennas that connect us to a vibratory field.

@ André Duqum
Neurons in our brains do not store memories; instead, they tune into a vibratory space in a field that connects all things, as confirmed by scientists at CERN in 2012.

@ André Duqum
Our neurons act as antennas that connect to a subtle energy field where information is stored, similar to how DNA functions in learning and creativity.

The process of learning something new, like a language or music, involves a compulsion that triggers neurons to connect and create pathways in the brain, which takes about three days.
GB

@ André Duqum
When we replace our natural biology with synthetics, we lose our neurons and DNA, which means we lose our ability to connect with the field of information and intuition.
GB

@ André Duqum
The human brain continues to produce neurons until the last breath, but if new neurons are not engaged meaningfully within about 14 days, they will atrophy and die.

The changes in our DNA, including the fusion of chromosomes, cannot be explained by natural circumstances, indicating a deeper mystery in our origins that science is only beginning to explore. Additionally, 200,000 years ago, a significant change occurred that connected our tongue, brain, and mouth, enabling complex speech and singing.

Human chromosome 2 is a fusion of two chromosomes, which is not something that occurs naturally, indicating that our evolution involved significant changes not explained by traditional evolutionary theory.

The odds of the mutations that define our humanity occurring naturally are so small that scientists suggest there must have been some form of intervention.

The scientific community often struggles to integrate new discoveries into existing models, preferring to fit new information into pre-existing frameworks rather than allowing the data to guide the narrative.

The mutations that give us our human traits cannot happen through natural processes, leading to the question of how they occurred.

If we are the product of an intentional act from 200,000 years ago, we should look for evidence of that act, possibly in ancient texts or traditions.
