From the video Sacred Geometry DNA changes 2012 Mollecular Atom Consciousness... My first comment is that they spelled molecular incorrectly in their title. "With the deliberate push for government controlled educational curriculums, generation after generation of the youth are being taught to focus only on the facts, figures and numbers.

"Never Let Schooling Interfere With Your Education," by Grant Allen and popularized by Mark Twain. "One year in Italy with their eyes open would be worth more than three at Oxford."
