With the amount of lady’s yoga wear and equipment on the market, you might assume the practice in the United States was a bit of a girl’s club. However, yoga was originally brought to the west from India by a line of male instructors, and it has only been within this generation that women have been adopting more influential and powerful roles. This influx of female energy has transformed the way in which yoga is currently being taught by focusing more on intuition, connection, family flow, community, and activism.

In his journey to understand the devastation of poverty pervasive across cultural boundaries, Foster Gamble has discovered a code derived from UFO technology that has been embedded and represented in nature and human social systems throughout the centuries. He believes that this information is a blueprint for finding a clean, limitless supply of energy that could completely revolutionize the way people live. Gamble asserts that power could potentially be extracted from the space surrounding us, and therefore stands as a direct threat to our largest and most powerful economically influential industries. By following greed and corruption through diverse sectors of our society, he makes the case that this information has been deliberately suppressed in efforts to control governments, banks, businesses, housing, medicine, and educational institutions.
Through renewable energy, popular political will, and communication, can we come together as a people and not just survive, but thrive?
