For millennia, humans have fought physical wars "*in the name of God.*" In our modern times, the focal point and methods have shifted, but the same problem of divisiveness and destruction remains. Nowadays, the most prominent wars are psychological ones "*in the name of Science.*" Never has this been more clear than during the Covid "pandemic" events.

I was never a big fan of social media due to the negative impact it has on people’s minds and lives, as it is out of alignment with what it means to be a fully functioning and physically, mentally, emotionally, socially, and spiritually healthy human being. I was reluctant to create a Facebook account back in 2008. I was hesitant about getting onto Twitter in 2009. I was resistant to start using Instagram and held off until 2018. I cycled through active and inactive social media periods over the years. From about 2015, with each new year, I minimized my presence to the point that I stopped using Facebook altogether in 2018. In 2020, I reviewed my use of social media and went through many of my old posts. Even though I only use social media for professional purposes, as part of being an online teacher and writer, it was disheartening to see how much of my time, energy, and life went to posting on and interacting with people on social media. It confirmed everything I have been feeling over the years, including the deep desire to remove myself from the social media sphere, which always felt like a preschool where all the children are attempting to get some attention. Sure, many of my posts helped positively impact people's lives for the better, but most were just noise, fillers, and a waste of mental and emotional resources, as is the norm on social media.

What do you give the majority of your focus each day: external distractions or internal workings of the body and mind? **A quality life is created by quality choices.** As long as you choose to complain and point fingers externally, you miss the opportunity to transform and empower yourself internally. The problem and the solution are always within each one of us. The Ego may wish to deny this, but there is no escaping the Truth of what is.

Every physical imbalance that we experience as some *dis-ease* has at its root an energetic imbalance. This is not any kind of pseudoscience but the nature of science at the deepest core of existence. All physical objects, including living tissues, are made up of atoms, which are made up of energy. The more we tune into ourselves, the more we can sense and remedy an energetic imbalance when it happens in the moment of, or shortly thereafter, and heal the root cause before it grows and goes into other layers of our being. Such energetic imbalances come on as different sensations and feelings of discomfort. It can be cramping in the abdomen after having a confrontation with someone or tightness in the chest upon learning some difficult news. However, when we dismiss these sensations over long periods of time or as they accumulate, they begin to manifest in various physical ways to get our attention that something requires our attention.

Whole plant foods are the most nutrient-dense and provide us with the most healing and protection benefits for our health. However, what we do to those foods and how we cook them greatly impacts their health potential. In our society, it has become common to routinely cook with oil and add oils to nearly all foods, which introduces us to all kinds of health risks and weight problems.

Whole plant foods provide us with the most nutrient-dense calories and the most powerful healing and protection for our health against acute and chronic diseases.

Health is determined by the quality of our internal environment, which is created through our lifestyle choices. A lot of people know the right thing to do, but few actually do it, which is why we have a huge proportion of the population currently living in fear.

While many people at this time are pointing fingers and laying blame and attacking each other by getting lost in details, there is only one root cause for [the mess that the world is in](https://www.rt.com/op-ed/483628-coronavirus-lockdown-curfew-troops/), and it is that we have given away our power.
