Inuition
Why are we so afraid of the idea that matter might have properties that affect us subtly? Why is it hard to believe that vibrations and frequencies – fundamental physical phenomena – could also be felt in the body? If crystals are frequencies in the most literal physical sense, then it is not unreasonable to assume that they could have subtle

And when we refuse to listen to the other, it does not fall silent – it simply disappears from our language, from our institutions, from our collective ability to think

But at the outer edges of physics, something radical begins to happen: The observer affects the observed. Particles communicate without contact. Time and space behave like playgrounds. Matter is vibration, frequency, energy.
Suddenly physicists and spiritual practitioners are saying almost the same thing – but in different languages. When quantum
