Melchizedek Seminary | Terrence Howard explained by Jain 108
Science Redefined. Jain 108 explains the enigmatic work of Terrence Howard!
Does his technology based on the negative space of the 3-dimensional view of the Flower of Life, challenge the world of physics? Is he on the same level as Tesla?
Get ready to view science through a fresh lens, thanks to Howard’s incorporation of Walter Russell’s groundbreaking periodic table, which is founded on waves and octaves of light. This paradigm shift suggests that 1×1 may equal 2, and that straight lines are merely an illusion—only curves exist.
With 97 patents to his name, is Howard pioneering propulsion systems rooted in sacred geometry instead of harmful fossil fuels?
Are we ready to rethink our understanding of gravity, black holes and Creation itself?
