If you see what I see, there is a lot or argument happening about, well, everything under the sun. I got a little frustrated with the “tell me traitor” type arguments about biology and health. What I mean is that it’s good to think out loud, and it can be good to debate—but it’s not very useful to go at each other’s throats and hope that by calling other people useful idiots one has a chance at saving the world. :-)
Earlier I wrote a story about that. Here. “Are There Viruses? Was There a Pandemic? Tell Me, Traitor!”). Today, I decided to focus on what’s productive, and I drew a diagram of the “bigger picture” of what health is and of various things that impact it, inside and out. (Sorry I am no Rembrandt, I am humble about my drawing skills. :)
All of this is food for thought, my opinion, expressed with gratitude to the people whose work has been guiding my thought before and now (special gratitude to Awo Falokun Fatunmbi and the work of George Vithoulkas) None of what I am saying here is dogma, and definitely, none of it is medical advice :)
The way I see it, best health in each moment boils down to being true to reality to the best of one’s ability at any moment, situational awareness, and managing one’s reactions to whatever is happening productively, with an even head, without fear, and with healing in mind.
By the way, the underlying reason for “tell me traitor” debates
This particular story is not about psychology as I have written multiple articles about it in the past But the gist of it, in my opinion, is that many grownups living today are still in the state of a “child who has been violated, not seen, not protected when protection was due, betrayed, and let down.”
A grown still-a-child may still be looking for a safe space: that is free from violence, and he or she may assign that protective, nurturing role to artificial energy entities, such ideologies, dogmas, echo chambers centered around sets of talking points, etc. (And those who want to control the world use the fact that still-children are looking for protection, and slip them various lying wolves in sheep’s clothes).
In the mind of a grown still-a-child, those things are assigned to play the role of “love.” Importantly, my description is not finger pointing, I have done a more sophisticated assignment, and learned from that, and we are all fellow travelers, and none of this is a “fault.” Being let down as a kid is not a fault, it’s just that the lingering, often silent scream of pain is a thing that sits in the way of forming a situational awareness in an effective way. And when people are dogmatic, it is often because of unrecognized pain.
For the sake of healing and making the world a more beautiful place though, there is no point in going at each other’s throats. Every one of us is entitled to forming any ideas that we like, any opinions that make sense to us, etc. Each of us is entitled in managing our health based on whatever we think and feel is right. Seriously. My love and respect for you does not depend on your scientific opinions.
As far as I am concerned, I am offering my opinions, research, and philosophical thoughts, hoping that it will help some people and contribute to your journey toward better clarity, better harmony, better health. That is all. And I respect your soul regardless of your opinions on biology, viruses, politics, theology, etc. I don’t care enough to argue, I am trying to understand the world the best I can and share what I learn.
Life is meaningful. We have a free will, we might as well use it well!
Now, what is health?
I drew a diagram of what health is and what impacts it. It is an approximate, simplified diagram. I could draw it differently and more precisely in philosophical terms but it may get too confusing, so I tried to fit things in into the conventional imagery and categories of the Western mind.
It is better to read it from the bottom up.
At the bottom, you see “health” as a time continuum, The time continuum is important in terms of healing because if you fix some visible symptoms of something for now but don’t address the root, the invisible root will grow out at a future time, maybe with different symptoms, but it will still be the same thing.
Homeopaths like to talk about this dynamic in terms of unhealed emotional trauma and allopathic symptom suppression. I agree with them in that regard. But there is more to that.
You know I have done a fairly deep dive into the role of undiagnosed fungal and parasitic infections—including from vaccines—in neurological symptoms (“dementia,” “autism,” etc.) and even physical malaise (“asthma,” “diabetes,”etc.) I have done it because I believe that at the current junction of history, undiagnosed fungal and parasitic (and possibly some bacterial) infections are playing a major role in bringing about disruptions to health.
Soooo if a person is hosting a slew of adversarially-minded bugs or worms, he or she may feel currently fine. Some of those bugs can live inside for decades before going to war. If one’s health is strong like a bull (or as they say in my birth homeland, “like a horse’), the person may host a million parasites or fungi, and just go about their life.
However, in our real currently-unbalanced world, sooner or later, the balance of one’s health may break, the immunity may weaken, and any bugs on the inside will try to go to war. Which is to say, the “current state of health” in this particular example may not be define by those bugs. But if the person is unaware of their presence or chooses to be arrogant about it, in the future, they may play a bigger role and cause “symptoms,” and at that point, one would be faced both with the task of doing away with the bugs and with the task of doing the repairs. I have written about it plenty and collected my articles on the subject on the Parasites page.
The upper part of the diagram is “Environment.” It consists (from left to right) of physical elements, such as nutrients or toxin, living beings in the conventional sense, such as good gut bacteria or adversarial parasites, various waves, such as healing sound waves or not-so-healing EMFs from 5G, other invisible energies that western thinking defines as “magic,” as well as larger mysterious energy fields, such as collective soul of all people, or various planetary-level fields, etc.), I did not explicitly include theological definitions because those are intimate and personal to each of us. I am sure each of us works them in as we feel. Like I said before, those categories are very much an approximation, I made them up this morning for the ease of describing things. And of course, the individual energy field and the “environment” are always in communication and always influence each other, which is to say, healing oneself impacts the world, and healing the world impacts self.
Without further ado, here is the diagram. I hope it adds a bit of clarity. Let’s discuss!

At the risk of inviting a comeuppance, I understand my own mind and the energy it possesses is what protects me and my health more than anything else in this whole, wide world.
I refuse to be sick. In large part because I don't believe I will be sick. I don't worry about sickness. Sickness doesn't hold space in my mind. Not even the possibility of becoming sick. Sick gets absolutely zero of my energy. I refuse to feed sick the energy it needs to harm me.
I've been to many a holistic healer who I've agreed to be tested by for any weaknesses within my system and they've found none. My partner has many, is always searching for a remedy of some sort or other. My partner is burdened by fear and anxiety over being sick. And so sickness persists within. The holistic healers try what they can with whatever remedies they possess. But they can only do so much until my partner rejects ideas of external risk and internal vulnerability.
The healers will say my mind protects me right in front of my partner. Yet it doesn't sink in. My partner can't let go of ideas about sickness that result in becoming sick.
I haven't so much as had the sniffles in over six years. What was that Covid thing I heard about? Stories I heard of but never felt. I'd even hug people in my neighborhood I'd see outside on their patio, who'd warn me from coming close, they had Covid and were isolating, quarantining. They got a BIG HUG from me. I never got sick.
And that sick six years ago was my first sick in 6-8 years. Seems to be my life's pattern. And when that rare sick comes I'm astoundingly better within a day or two, nobody can believe I spring up so quickly from conditions others stay down for five from.
Mind. Wellness starts and ends in the mind. My life experience. Anecdotal, sure. Reinforced by holistic healer's testing. Whatever credibility you choose to assign them. If your mind is strong enough, your faith in God's perfect creation sincere enough and your will to resist any and all mind viruses I'm confident others will share my experience.
*Note: I don't walk into burning buildings, play in traffic or visit toxic chemical environments. Having a powerful mind that protects from illness isn't license to defy common sense.
Thank You, Tessa. I was raised with the approach to health of being as natural as possible in diet and lifestyle, in the 1960s days of "you can't get too much sun and fresh air", and "be home by dark".
That wasn't far from where I still am at 66. It has stood the tests of time well. I have gotten a lot of stitches over all those years, and try not to need them these days. I grow fresh vegetables and I feel better when I eat what I grow. I get sun, but I take vitamin-D and a few other supplements. I love my wife, my children and our grandchildren. I meditate compassion...
That's what I've got.
Seek to open to your inner self and be there when you can, when you think of it.
