I had looked at that, but this close to Christmas I didn’t justify the spend. I also bought a guidebook relating to it. From what I understand, grad s...

I'm late to the party but ordering it today! I'll be sure to check the version :)

Thanks, glad to be here :) Could we define intention as energy behaving in a certain way? I read somewhere about an argument between matter producing ...
