    thank you for leading me to this movie. I have a friend who is a great healer, who spent years with current-day Inca elders, and I got blown away by what he shared with me about the enormous spiritually-gifted "powers" their ancestors had. It took my mind some time to understand what he was telling me, as I am pretty critical, and these things are not in my normal realm of understanding.
