Nowadays we have a lot of forces to contend with. We have the forces of nature, viruses, bacteria and parasites. The air we breathe contains so many unseen viruses, but not enough to overpower the immune system of the body.
Our immune system is able to cope with these billions of unseen viruses and bacteria. However, by our own device, we have systematically weakened our immune system, and exposed ourselves to hitherto unknown ailments. The electromagnetic energy spectrum radiates through nature: the seas, mountains, plants, earth and rocks. By living close to the land and nature, we receive this energy into our own energy fields and so are energised.
However, as we build more highways, manufacture steel cars, build bridges, and make electronic gadgets, all of which absolve a great percentage of the universal energy field, we become prone to hitherto unknown and strange illnesses.
While our bodies vibrate at a frequency as low as 35 or 40Hz, the electrical gadgets we use have a frequency as high as250Hz. It is no wonder then that we are physically weaker than our ancestors.
Over the last ten years, I have been fully involved in treating people with different illnesses. I notice a tendency towards more subtle illnesses. As human beings become more complicated and adopt a so-called modem, sophisticated mode of life, so also do our illnesses become more complicated.
I have noticed a tendency towards strange illnesses like: Persistent headaches that defy all medication, prolonged arthritis, nervous disorder, character disorder, persistent weakness and tiredness, low sperm count in men and general infertility in men and women. I have been amazed at the huge number of infertile couples in our society today.
By my own estimation, two out of every five marriages in Nigeria in the last ten years have problem with conception. Other complaints are: eating in dreams, having sex in dreams, waking up to find bloody marks on the body.
Psychologists might dismiss these as mere psychosomatic reactions. But what does psychology really know about the mystery of the human person? Let’s face it, we have a big challenge before us. The easy way out is to dismiss the whole thing as lack of enlightenment or superstition.
I challenge African thinkers and Theologians to wake up and reflect about this phenomenon. It is true that many of us studied in Europe and have degrees in courses that seem irrelevant to the African situation. But that is no excuse for indifference in the face of issues vital to the mindsets of our people.
