Japanese-raised beef remains a luxury food of the wealthy few, selling for up to $100 per pound.”

“The only way for photons to know when they’re being observed is if they are conscious beings. In the quantum world, each of the parts is aware of the whole.

― Kenneth Schmitt, Quantum Energetics and Spirituality Volume 1: Aligning with Universal Consciousness
