Ancient Clock

In the quantum universe, everything is connected through an invisible web of complex energetic frequencies. At the core of everything is vibration and frequency. We know that our material world appears to be solid but is in fact just atoms vibrating at different rates with a whole lot of empty space in between the parts. Everything is interconnected, along with the consciousness of the observer, which ultimately determines what is seen and experienced. We all contribute and are part of the whole, forming an energy soup that makes up the universe.
