We also discuss the convergence of science and spirituality, manifestation, personal evolution, and the continuous journey of self-discovery and alignment with higher vibrations.

0:00.0	Our ego tries to keep us within our present paradigm because it cannot control us in the realm of the unknown.
0:08.4	The realm of the unknown outside, whether you call it cracking or opening, expanding awareness,
0:13.7	the ego cannot control you outside of that.
0:16.6	And that's where all the goodies are.
