(AEC) is an individual whose identity is deeply intertwined with the divine and is presented as having a significant mission related to a global shift in human consciousness.

Gematria analysis reveals a remarkable connection between his birth details ("AEC May Fifth Nineteen Seventy Two") and the very foundation and structure of the English alphabet. Both phrases share the same Gematria values in both English (2106) and Simple (351) systems. This equivalence is seen as highly improbable by chance and suggests a deliberate encoding. This numerical connection...

Building a Resilient Tomorrow does not dwell on overhyped descriptions of apocalyptic climate scenarios, nor does it travel down well-trodden paths surrounding the politics of reducing carbon emissions.

Many people will remember that Rachel Carson predicted a silent spring, but she also warned of a fruitless fall, a time with no pollination and no fruit. The fruitless fall nearly became a reality when, in 2007, beekeepers watched 30 billion bees mysteriously die. And they continue to disappear. The remaining pollinators, essential to the cultivation of a third of American crops, are now trucked across the country and flown around the world, pushing them ever closer to collapse.
