    Infinite Intelligence Mechanics | The Superpowers That Can Be Unleashed By Anyone

    In a slightly different podcast this week, I delve into the beautiful and graceful subject of Infinite Intelligence Mechanics, as a subject that I knew nothing about until this amazing and enlightening podcast with JC Gordon.  I urge you all to take some time out from the chaos of life and open your mind to what is an amazing subject matter that could be the start of a better and more fulfilling life. JC Gordon is the Global Ambassador and Pioneer of the Angelize Yourself movement. He is also the Founder of Angeldom Academy. In 1994, he retired after a successful career as a banker and financial analyst. Two years later, on June 25, 1996, he was killed by a chainsaw.  During his afterlife experience, he has revealed the timeless mechanics of Infinite Intelligence and Angel Consciousness that the mind of God is. He was sent back from his afterlife experience to reveal the profundities and depths of Angel Consciousness and Infinite Intelligence Mechanics so their superpowers can be unleashed by anyone. From 1996-2019, he completed his twenty-three-year Angelization internship to prepare himself for its revealing. He has written fourteen books about his afterlife revelations and is today’s foremost authority on Angelization.
