Tune into this episode as Frank Albo takes us on a journey of understanding the history of Freemason influence in architecture around the world, that lies hidden to the eye unless one "has the eyes to see it". Listen as he explains how numerology, the golden ratio and other esoteric knowledge has been imbedded into our lives byway of architecture and symbology with this hidden knowledge. Learn how he first stumbled upon these findings right in his hometown of Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada, that ultimately lit the fire for becoming a student of unlocking the mysteries of the esoteric; and taking him all the way around the world to Astana, Kazakhstan.
