monde - des artisanes de lumière modernes, qui ont accepté de naître au cours de cette période historique. Pour être florissantes en cette nouvelle ère, nous devons cultiver l'expression authentique de notre essence. La lumière vous va si bien vous permettra de mieux entendre les appels de votre âme et d'éclairer le monde par votre présence. Rebecca Campbell a vécu son premier éveil à l'adolescence, mais faute de guide, elle a ignoré les appels de son âme et tamisé sa lumière afin de s'adapter. Puis, juste avant son trentième anniversaire, la vie qu'elle s'était si consciencieusement créée a commencé à s'effondrer. On aurait dit que tout s'éteignait autour d'elle, et elle n'a eu d'autre choix que de redécouvrir sa propre lumière. Dans ce livre, Rebecca raconte son parcours tout en proposant, à partir de messages qu'elle a canalisés de l'Univers, des outils pratiques qui vous aideront à vous raccorder à l'essence de votre être. Lorsque vous redécouvrirez ce que vous savez déjà sur le plan de l'âme, vous pourrez offrir au monde quelque chose d'uniqueLes savants fous: d'Archimède à nos jours, une histoire délirante des sciences

Voici une histoire des sciences relue sous l'angle des savants fous. D'Archimède à nos jours, ces personnages fantasques, bizarres et surprenants, ont tout bousculé, fait rire ou scandalisé, mais chacun a participé, à sa manière, à la grande aventure collective de la Science.
