QE Afrofuturism Finale Background Story: FREEDOM, LOVE, and the CULTIVATION of OMNIPOTENT CONSCIOUSNESS Quantum Elders love episodes present unique multi-dimensional journeys through humanity’s earliest cultivation of consciousness before the formation of humankind. An Afrofuturistic perspective immerses you in archetypical love stories that emerge from a less-distant past when the QE first infused living organisms with nuclear consciousness during their initial explorations into assorted realms the earliest forms of existence on Earth far beyond our visible world. The QE holistic, vibratory, spiritual, and optimistic worldview is told through an interdisciplinary art form. The dynamic qualities of the tales suggest more universal implications and meanings.
