I hope so. Because these words of wisdom have helped me greatly over the last few years.</p><p>In 2021, my wife and I left our home country of Canada to pursue a new life in Central America. We bought land, built a greenhouse, installed a well and will soon move into our newly constructed home. However, trying to navigate through the international financial bureaucracy wasn&#8217;t easy. I also needed to establish a new career and develop a dedicated website. Doing all this in a foreign language certainly did not help matters. Occasionally I reached the &#8216;overwhelm&#8217; stage.</p><p>Unfortunately, the 5PH website and maintaining this Substack blog had to take a back seat at times. I even had to stop practicing Tai Chi until I could get ahead of things.</p><p>We do what we can, with what we&#8217;ve got, from where we are.</p><p>I make no excuses and neither should you. When life gets difficult, the plan should be to put one foot in front of the other and forge ahead, and yes it&#8217;s painful. But somewhere along the way taking a wee break, perhaps recalculating, then getting on with the tasks at hand is the message here. </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!u393!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb6b11ddd-13ed-4090-b1a2-614b89835ee0_600x300.webp" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!u393!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb6b11ddd-13ed-4090-b1a2-614b89835ee0_600x300.webp 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!u393!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb6b11ddd-13ed-4090-b1a2-614b89835ee0_600x300.webp 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!u393!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb6b11ddd-13ed-4090-b1a2-614b89835ee0_600x300.webp 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!u393!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb6b11ddd-13ed-4090-b1a2-614b89835ee0_600x300.webp 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!u393!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb6b11ddd-13ed-4090-b1a2-614b89835ee0_600x300.webp" width="600" height="300" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/b6b11ddd-13ed-4090-b1a2-614b89835ee0_600x300.webp&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:300,&quot;width&quot;:600,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:50306,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/webp&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:true,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://blog.5pillarhealth.com/i/191011367?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb6b11ddd-13ed-4090-b1a2-614b89835ee0_600x300.webp&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!u393!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb6b11ddd-13ed-4090-b1a2-614b89835ee0_600x300.webp 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!u393!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb6b11ddd-13ed-4090-b1a2-614b89835ee0_600x300.webp 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!u393!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb6b11ddd-13ed-4090-b1a2-614b89835ee0_600x300.webp 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!u393!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb6b11ddd-13ed-4090-b1a2-614b89835ee0_600x300.webp 1456w" sizes="100vw" fetchpriority="high"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p></p><p>It&#8217;s all about progress, not perfection. Things may even get messy for a bit and thats OK.  5 Pillar Health understands this absolutely. My personal mantra is that I lead by example, so when my own Blog posts are not as regular as planned, or business dynamics are sprouting seeds of doubt, I&#8217;ll Aikido it - and step aside from the feelings of guilt. The only thing guilt, or regret, or looking back does, is keep us from moving forward.</p><p>And lets not lose sight of the fact that your Health is and always has been number one. Our physical health is the base from which all other health modalities (mental, emotional, spiritual &amp; financial) are built from.

means, only ideological word salad narratives which still leave me with no clear understanding. So I have been developing a theory of my own and here is what the Awakening means to me&#8230;</p><p>A few assumptions first.</p><p>1. I&#8217;m convinced our world is subject to the laws of Frequency &amp; Vibration.</p><p>2. We are all co-creators. We can literally create what our energy is focused on.</p><p>3. They (the Ruling class, the ones pulling the strings of world governments) cannot co-create. In fact, they cannot create in any fashion whatsoever.</p><p>4. They have been manipulating humanity to keep us in perpetual Slavedom, and influencing us to create a world they want. A world suitable for them.</p><p>5. The Awakening is all about us &#8220;awakening&#8221; to the truth of it all and creating our world without their influence. </p><p>The Awakening is not learning something new, it&#8217;s about remembering who we are. The Awakening is remembering we are divine energy connected to source and yes, we hold the same spiritual potential. The Ruling class understand this better than anyone, and have been purposely keeping us small for thousands of years, by design. The Ruling class are in no-way connected to source. They do not possess a bone of divinity within them. &#8216;They&#8217; are evil.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!YfWM!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8fadd0aa-af4b-48d0-8a96-5f99dc1768cc_2878x1228.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!YfWM!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8fadd0aa-af4b-48d0-8a96-5f99dc1768cc_2878x1228.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!YfWM!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8fadd0aa-af4b-48d0-8a96-5f99dc1768cc_2878x1228.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!YfWM!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8fadd0aa-af4b-48d0-8a96-5f99dc1768cc_2878x1228.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!YfWM!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8fadd0aa-af4b-48d0-8a96-5f99dc1768cc_2878x1228.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!YfWM!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8fadd0aa-af4b-48d0-8a96-5f99dc1768cc_2878x1228.jpeg" width="1456" height="621" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/8fadd0aa-af4b-48d0-8a96-5f99dc1768cc_2878x1228.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:621,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:135869,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://blog.5pillarhealth.com/i/188138916?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8fadd0aa-af4b-48d0-8a96-5f99dc1768cc_2878x1228.jpeg&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!YfWM!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8fadd0aa-af4b-48d0-8a96-5f99dc1768cc_2878x1228.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!YfWM!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8fadd0aa-af4b-48d0-8a96-5f99dc1768cc_2878x1228.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!YfWM!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8fadd0aa-af4b-48d0-8a96-5f99dc1768cc_2878x1228.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!YfWM!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8fadd0aa-af4b-48d0-8a96-5f99dc1768cc_2878x1228.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>The actual mechanisms for doing this are mind control and poisons. Mind control is conducted through classic education, social media and Hollywood. The poisons come from our food, water, the air we breathe, and pharmaceuticals. It&#8217;s a 24/7 onslaught of destruction to the human body.</p><p>Humanity has been herded into a state of fear for far too long, taking us away from Love.

The financial system is about to be reset.  We are seeing social systems self destructing right before our eyes. No doubt some manipulation is helping all this along, but through that we are now seeing things we did not see before.  Slowly we are regaining our power.  We have a new awareness. The Awakening is upon us. We are FEELING the energy of unprecedented change looming.

But years of indoctrination (classic education), mind control (TV &amp; social media) and poisons (pharmaceuticals &amp; fluoridated water) have dulled down our intellect, and calcified our pineal gland. Our natural connection to our creator has withered away.</p><p>Despite all this modern intervention, divinity is available to you if you truly want a spiritual connection. You just ask for it. Yes, it&#8217;s as simple as that. If your intentions are truthful, your psychic energy will vibrate on a higher level and you will be heard. If your intentions are honorable, your ask will be created. In essence you have created the very thing you wish to happen, because you are connected to source. Indeed, you are the co-creator.</p><p>My own connection to the universal life force has grown since I started my practice in Reiki, but this energy is abundantly available to all life on earth and is in fact our Birthright. Get quiet, ground yourself, raise your consciousness and tap into it at will.

If done in the day, find a quiet place surrounded in beauty and natural sounds, (not hard in Panama). A gentle breeze is welcome too, as it carries the energy along.</p><p>If done at night. Relax into the silence, and let the peace flood into you. Start breathing in a controlled manner, in a meditative state, and focus your intentions on attracting dialogue with your creator. Ask for help. Mean it and feel it. Put all your energy into this., All of it.

Your prayers are being answered because you have aligned your soul &amp; consciousness at the higher frequency where creation happens.</p><p>This experience (for me), has never failed. Reading this, you may think that I&#8217;m always asking for this or that, but no. I can count on one hand the number of times I&#8217;ve connected spiritually in anticipation of an outcome - because I understand that our prayers must be spiritually moral.</p><p>Anyway, I&#8217;ll tell you about my latest example which happened just a few days ago. My wife and I are building our new home up in the mountains of Panama. We are locked into a contract with our Architect/Builder and certain terms &amp; conditions have been established. More over, we shook hands on the deal. My word is my bond. A significant milestone payment was due at the end of this month and all of our available funds were on a crypto exchange. Unfortunate timing because the exchange froze all my withdrawals while the KYC (Know Your Customer) process was being verified. I anticipated a delay, but no way had I considered my funds would be locked for over 6 weeks. I had written, and called several times to find out what the issue was? I kept being told to be patient, and now they were not answering my calls. All I knew is that I had made a deal and was about to break the trust. I had promised this man (and his family) that the money was coming. He himself was overextended at the bank. It was rapidly becoming a nightmare situation. Not only would my builder not be paid as promised, but all of our immediately available funds were frozen. How did I get myself into this situation??</p><p>That night - January 26<sup>th</sup>, 2026 - I prayed. I established myself as I laid out above, and slowly, purposely shifted my consciousness into a higher frequency. I asked for help. My intentions were crystal clear - I needed the exchange to complete the KYC process and release my funds. Certain harmonics are at play here. Intentions need to be morally sound, based in honesty &amp; truth.</p><p>Well I guess you know where this is going? I woke up the next morning, opened my laptop only to discover the account was no longer locked. Full withdrawal facilities were back in action. Divine intervention? Connected to source? You tell me.

Why not? What have we got to lose? The answer is, we have nothing to lose - but essential health to gain. Our physical health is the most important aspect (or pillar) of our lives. I cannot overstate this enough. Mental, Emotional, Spiritual, and Financial health are all important, but our primary goal must be our physical health in order to enjoy the others. This is what my goal is for 2026 - to improve my physical health. Why not make this a new year / new start for you too?</p><p>We should all start with a balanced diet and exercise. No shocker there but are we actually doing it? The world seems to be on a never ending pleasure train of short term thinking, child-like decision making, and instant gratification. Old school values of working hard for your goals and the concept of discipline seem to have been cast adrift. Let&#8217;s bring them back in 2026.</p><p>We also need to acknowledge how this current governmental system works to understand why it&#8217;s harder to achieve our health goals than it should be. This system works on mind control and poison. It&#8217;s only those two things and yes, it&#8217;s that simple. Mind control is achieved through our classic education system, through the media (Hollywood &amp; TV), and social media channels. These mind control methodologies usher us into overconsumption and laziness. The poison part of the system comes through the Pharmaceutical industry. &#8220;A pill and vaccine for everything&#8221; mentality. Poison may seem like a severe word but modern medicine always treats the symptoms and never treats the cause.  Very often the side effects from the pharmaceuticals cause more harm than they cure.  No good will come from this. Why, as a world population, are we sicker, fatter, less productive than we have ever been? Answer, Mind Control and Poison.</p><p>So there you have it. My personal goal for 2026 is a healthier &#8216;me&#8217;- leading of course by example. I&#8217;m getting back to basics. Eating natural whole organic food, exercising in some form everyday, keeping my consciousness open to negative mind control, and zero - absolute zero pharmaceuticals.</p><div

Our minds are governed by two domains. The conscious mind and the subconscious mind. The conscious mind processes approximately 140 pieces of information per second. It&#8217;s the part of the brain I&#8217;m using to write this, and that you are using to read it. The conscious mind is the Adult mind, thinking and planning long term strategies 5, 10, 15 years into the future. </p><p>The subconscious mind however, is a different matter altogether, processing between 2.2 - 11 million pieces of information per second. The subconscious is in charge of functions and behaviors that keep us alive, like our heart beating, our digestion, our hair &amp; nail growth, and our personal safety protocols. It&#8217;s the machine running in the background and it&#8217;s primary function is to keep us safe. The subconscious mind is all about survival. It records every sound, every image, and every action we come across, plus every feeling or emotion from the third trimester forward. And it never stops recording. The subconscious mind keeps looking for repetitive cues. The more repetitive the signal, the subconscious mind identifies this as the safest move for you.</p><p></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"

self-abusive friends and self-abusive partners, because the mind feels safer inside the familiar (to keep you safe - &#8216;one of the herd&#8217;). </p><p>But here&#8217;s the deal. The subconscious doesn&#8217;t care if the resultant actions make you depressed, overweight, financially bereft, or spiritually bankrupt. When we operate from the subconscious mind, our behavior is not based on logic or happiness, or truth or even reality. We also go into subconscious auto-pilot when in fear, or under stress. The subconscious mind&#8217;s purpose remember, is survival, and wired to provide us intelligence based on the repetitive information it has recorded. The resulting actions are often not our best move, and this is self sabotage in a nutshell.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!xNOj!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F83a623c7-3353-4c6b-9ea5-4dccd2b5fcf1_1576x1056.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!xNOj!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F83a623c7-3353-4c6b-9ea5-4dccd2b5fcf1_1576x1056.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!xNOj!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F83a623c7-3353-4c6b-9ea5-4dccd2b5fcf1_1576x1056.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!xNOj!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F83a623c7-3353-4c6b-9ea5-4dccd2b5fcf1_1576x1056.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!xNOj!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F83a623c7-3353-4c6b-9ea5-4dccd2b5fcf1_1576x1056.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!xNOj!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F83a623c7-3353-4c6b-9ea5-4dccd2b5fcf1_1576x1056.png" width="1456" height="976" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/83a623c7-3353-4c6b-9ea5-4dccd2b5fcf1_1576x1056.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:976,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:2249238,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://blog.5pillarhealth.com/i/181641566?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F83a623c7-3353-4c6b-9ea5-4dccd2b5fcf1_1576x1056.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!xNOj!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F83a623c7-3353-4c6b-9ea5-4dccd2b5fcf1_1576x1056.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!xNOj!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F83a623c7-3353-4c6b-9ea5-4dccd2b5fcf1_1576x1056.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!xNOj!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F83a623c7-3353-4c6b-9ea5-4dccd2b5fcf1_1576x1056.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!xNOj!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F83a623c7-3353-4c6b-9ea5-4dccd2b5fcf1_1576x1056.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>So how do we get out of this Child mind, safety based subconscious programming? We start by recognizing all our irrational and illogical behaviors, and begin reprogramming ourselves with positive Adult-based behaviors. Actually, it can be done quite easily, at any time, so never think we are stuck into a certain mindset. We certainly do not have to repeat the same negative actions that no longer serve us well.</p><p>Only when you&#8217;re healthy, only when you control what fear is allowed to enter your life, and only when you control your own thoughts&#8230;..can you calm the system down enough to embrace the big changes in life that will make you happy.</p><p>In 2026 I will be accepting clients who wish to rid themselves of self sabotaging behaviors. I&#8217;ll guide them towards doing things that make them happy instead of safe. I&#8217;ll be teaching clients how to get the body and mind ready to walk into fear and operate through it, rather than automatically react to it. Our thoughts can change how our body works and how it looks as well. Personal growth into a new way of life, begins by reprogramming for success and happiness, rather than subconsciously seeking safety.</p><p></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4Kp4!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0b30983e-d357-43ac-a038-f2527526aa5c_1682x270.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4Kp4!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0b30983e-d357-43ac-a038-f2527526aa5c_1682x270.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4Kp4!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0b30983e-d357-43ac-a038-f2527526aa5c_1682x270.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4Kp4!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0b30983e-d357-43ac-a038-f2527526aa5c_1682x270.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4Kp4!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0b30983e-d357-43ac-a038-f2527526aa5c_1682x270.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4Kp4!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0b30983e-d357-43ac-a038-f2527526aa5c_1682x270.png" width="1456" height="234" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/0b30983e-d357-43ac-a038-f2527526aa5c_1682x270.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:234,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:92621,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://blog.5pillarhealth.com/i/181641566?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0b30983e-d357-43ac-a038-f2527526aa5c_1682x270.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4Kp4!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0b30983e-d357-43ac-a038-f2527526aa5c_1682x270.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4Kp4!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0b30983e-d357-43ac-a038-f2527526aa5c_1682x270.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4Kp4!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0b30983e-d357-43ac-a038-f2527526aa5c_1682x270.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!4Kp4!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F0b30983e-d357-43ac-a038-f2527526aa5c_1682x270.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div></div></div></a></figure></div><p></p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://blog.5pillarhealth.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">To receive new posts and become a free subscriber, enter your email below:</p></div><form class="subscription-widget-subscribe"><input type="email" class="email-input" name="email" placeholder="Type your email&#8230;" tabindex="-1"><input type="submit" class="button primary" value="Subscribe"><div class="fake-input-wrapper"><div class="fake-input"></div><div class="fake-button"></div></div></form></div></div><p>If you want to receive these emails directly, outside of Substack, then please email me at:  Andy@5pillarhealth.com</p><p></p><p>Our business at <a href="https://5pillarhealth.com/">5 Pillar Health</a> is your health and well-being!

From that point onwards, the unelected NGO&#8217;s will use the collapse to create new programs which the worlds&#8217; majority will welcome-in with open arms. &#8216;Come save us&#8217;.</p><p>I maintain we must save ourselves, building our own strength, systems and communities in order to prosper outside of governmental overreach. I gotta say right here that I still find it mind boggling that people are willing to trust the same institutions that put us in this mess (all by design of course). Yet I do understand <em><strong>why</strong></em> the worlds&#8217; majority feel this way. It&#8217;s through a lifetime of mind control and poison leading to self sabotage programming. Combined with our current generations&#8217; limited experience of economic disaster and refusing to explore past history, we are positioned to enter another depression era.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!FJgA!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1cb74488-1bbe-4893-a699-6959e00d5949.tif" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!FJgA!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1cb74488-1bbe-4893-a699-6959e00d5949.tif 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!FJgA!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1cb74488-1bbe-4893-a699-6959e00d5949.tif 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!FJgA!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1cb74488-1bbe-4893-a699-6959e00d5949.tif 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!FJgA!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1cb74488-1bbe-4893-a699-6959e00d5949.tif 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!FJgA!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1cb74488-1bbe-4893-a699-6959e00d5949.tif" width="500" height="285" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/1cb74488-1bbe-4893-a699-6959e00d5949.tif&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:285,&quot;width&quot;:500,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:431012,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/tiff&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://blog.5pillarhealth.com/i/180238100?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1cb74488-1bbe-4893-a699-6959e00d5949.tif&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!FJgA!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1cb74488-1bbe-4893-a699-6959e00d5949.tif 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!FJgA!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1cb74488-1bbe-4893-a699-6959e00d5949.tif 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!FJgA!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1cb74488-1bbe-4893-a699-6959e00d5949.tif 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!FJgA!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F1cb74488-1bbe-4893-a699-6959e00d5949.tif 1456w" sizes="100vw"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p></p><p>If we are honest with ourselves, I think we are actually feeling the precursors to the bubble bursting already.

We vaccinated ourselves, and our children according to the government schedules. But something seemed &#8216;off&#8217; about the frenzy surrounding <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic">C-19</a>, and that is when we took the time to find out what was going on. The deeper we looked, the more untruths were being discovered. And perhaps one of the biggest lies revolved around virology and vaccination. Thank God, these types of studies are now being done and openly shared. Although not officially recognized today, It&#8217;s a start.</p><p>I find myself asking the questions&#8230;Why is this such a Taboo subject? Why has it taken the last 75 years to get this information? What are the government regulators and Big Pharma so afraid of?</p><p>I think we all understand why.</p><p>Isn&#8217;t it sad to think that the institutions and elected leaders that we have entrusted to care for us have just taken the money, supporting Pharmaceutical &amp; Technological giants whose main agenda is control of humanity. Arguably, the human population is the most unhealthiest it&#8217;s ever been despite billions of dollars pouring into this industry. We have to ask ourselves, are we really on the right track? Are we really going to continue trusting others to manage our health &amp; welfare, or are we going to manage it ourselves?</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://blog.5pillarhealth.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">To receive new posts and become a free subscriber, enter your email below:</p></div><form class="subscription-widget-subscribe"><input type="email" class="email-input" name="email" placeholder="Type your email&#8230;" tabindex="-1"><input type="submit" class="button primary" value="Subscribe"><div class="fake-input-wrapper"><div class="fake-input"></div><div class="fake-button"></div></div></form></div></div><p>5 Pillar Health was established to prepare you and assist you through the authoritarian reset currently underway.

Since 2005, legal mechanisms have been in place (through the Uniform Commercial Code of 1994 and the 2005 Bankruptcy Code&#8217;s &#8216;safe harbor&#8217; provision) to <em><strong>prioritize and favor</strong></em> a select few banks over the investors, should those institutions become insolvent <em><strong>for any reason</strong>.</em> Meaning everything you own in an electronic format, or used as collateral, could legally vanish if an economic collapse occurs. Money in the bank? It&#8217;s theirs now. Your property or assets used as security on a loan? All gone. Still have a mortgage? Your house is theirs now. The select few banks and 3-letter agencies will legally take it all.</p><p>This is not about just taking your wealth (because let&#8217;s face it, money is printed as required), this is about subjugation, domination and control. This is a global movement to take all global collateral&#8230;and then with no where to go, you&#8217;ll bow down to the institutions for a Universal Basic Income and voluntarily enlist in other draconian policies.</p><p>In a separate matter, but closely related to global control, land grabs are taking place all over the world through <a href="https://www.un.org/development/desa/indigenouspeoples/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2018/11/UNDRIP_E_web.pdf">UNDRIP policies</a>. Just a few months back, the <a href="https://x.com/JimFergusonUK/status/1982730487681650787?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_medium=email">Canadian BC government</a> awarded land to the First Nations.  All the home owners, commercial properties and infrastructure in that award is now owned by the Indigenous, free to use as they deem appropriate!</p><p>I understand these strategies are hard to acknowledge, but I ask you to consider what has already unfolded in the last 5 years. Vaccine mandates, restricted travel, lock-downs, rampant inflation, and the inception of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/15-minute_city">15-minute (or C-40) cities.</a> Governments world-wide are actively discussing digital ID&#8217;s, social credit scores, central bank digital currencies, climate lock-downs and associated energy rationing. Is it really so hard to believe that your property and assets are at risk?</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

that the world is experiencing a massive shift in consciousness, a change in universal energy - right now. Perhaps you can feel it too? This energy shift will come many palpable ways. Changes in government, changes in currency, changes in asset ownership, changes in laws, changes in spirituality. I&#8217;m writing about this now because I care about humanity. And this is my way of communicating major upcoming events which you may not be aware of.</p><p>I believe we have a maximum of 5 years in which to do this. By 2030, the international plan to digitize our world and control every aspect of our lives could be in play. This entire scenario is outlined in <a href="https://www.amazon.com/COVID-19-Great-Reset-Klaus-Schwab-ebook/dp/B08CRZ9VZB">Klaus Schwab&#8217;s COVID-19 THE GREAT RESET.</a> Further reading on this subject is provided <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Controlled-Demolition-American-Empire/dp/B093QLY8ZV/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3APYKCM2G0NZJ&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.gnxrTfzkkf93UmjPJCS2PdxDVDf4ceL7zXt9Ve2f1qYWmEe1ge-V2fmAouBL3Y3i31oEQu9WZBjZ60lONG2b8Kdkitoqfy8n9iKYDWnrxawrsE6E6QA977m4r-X-Bpstj34BetNWwGTcQVU1qDRJ5MFGY10eyuDKbkkSeLEA0TfnAPfDPukHPkUXIc5E8ku8T92v-TaFx_yyOkzCxL9UtjcLs5jIerna1qE8tnjl4JBBrSywRkYw0DzntNxXiLddCE7bd-7HaTFv3lOwf6kewwItBhNu3BkcLDQx_-gblww.EIbLcxbib1x-pE1-zl1_rHsunbiFSoy7fj4MWvbEdq4&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;keywords=control+demolition+of+the&amp;qid=1760109081&amp;s=amazon-devices&amp;sprefix=controole+demolition+of+the+,amazon-devices,137&amp;sr=1-1">here, by Jeff Berwick.</a> I have many other books available in PDF format which describe this planned dystopian future.

I have been in a leadership role my entire working life, and I set up <a href="https://5pillarhealth.com/">5 Pillar Health</a> for this very purpose. I will be teaching and Coaching others soon, on how to manage the governmental &amp; societal changes, and why you may feel you&#8217;re marking time, unable to make the necessary changes.</p><p>The primary focus starts with working on yourself. You will need to have full spectrum health - physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually and financially in order to navigate the future with any sort of autonomy. Working on these 5 pillars of health are what will keep you and your family in the best possible position.</p><p>Some basic notes to take away:</p><p>Physical - this is number one. You need to keep moving, keep active, eat proper nutrition, and get good sleep. In short, you need to be healthy. Start taking steps towards this now.</p><p>Mental - keep current in your local government laws which are changing by the day. Talk to others about these changes, and how you&#8217;ll work-around them together.</p><p>Emotional - repair any issues with your partner and your neighbor. Simple acts of forgiveness move mountains.</p><p>Spiritual - renew your connection to the divine. Our souls require nourishment just as our physical selves do.</p><p>Financial - diversify out of actual dollars, and into precious metals and crypto currencies. If you have the money on hand, consider buying assets and real estate now. Clear any debt.</p><p>Fortifying these 5 areas of full spectrum health is really your only way to move forward beyond 2030.  Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC&#8217;s) and Digital Identification are on their way, and further restrictions are planned out.</p><p>If you are able to work on yourself, you will become a strong/stronger individual. Strong individuals are not easily shepherded into the so-called New World Order. Strong individuals are not easily subjected to mind control and poisons. Strong individuals are leaders in the community.</p><p>The time to get your house in order is now.   </p><p></p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://blog.5pillarhealth.com/p/is-your-house-in-order/comments&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Leave a comment&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://blog.5pillarhealth.com/p/is-your-house-in-order/comments"><span>Leave a comment</span></a></p><p></p><p>I am doing what I can to advise my fellow man on what I see coming our way, and how to navigate the times ahead.

This particular morning I&#8217;m in full-swing, pushing out heavy, multiple reps, and sweating like a Trojan. I feel great! Workout out done, I head down to my suite in the elevator still listening to Led Zeppelin (Kashmir) at full blast, volume 10.</p><p>I enter the apartment and toss my keys onto the coffee table and sit-down on the couch to regain my breath until the end of the song, still joyously blasting away. My mind starts to wonder and I suddenly realize I have no idea where I am? My God, where the hell am I? I understand I&#8217;m in a hotel room, but I have absolutely no idea why I am there? I start to panic. I reflexively rip out the headphones. Taking a few moments to readjust, I look around the room and see the Hotel Magazine on the coffee table which clearly states KL.</p><p>&#8220;OK Andy&#8221; I say to myself. &#8220;You are in Malaysia

I get up and head for the shower, trying to make sense of losing my mind. As I enter the work tower and go through the various stages of airport-like security, I&#8217;m now flooded with intense paranoia, &#8216;why is everyone staring at me?&#8217; I finally reach my desk, unpack my laptop and return the many morning greetings I&#8217;m receiving. It&#8217;s all too much. The anxiety level I&#8217;m feeling now is like 12 on a scale of 10. I&#8217;ve got to get out of here! I immediately pack up my stuff and stride as briskly as I dared back to the safety of my hotel. I shower again, and call my wife. We recount the events of the last two hours, and guessed that I may have had a mini stroke.</p><p>I drink gallons of water and slept intermittently for 20 hours. Praying often. The next day I go back into work, claiming &#8216;Delhi belly&#8217;. It took three days to get back to normal.  I still had no idea what had happened but I instinctively felt it had something to do with the music and not a stroke.  No more Led Zep for me.</p><p>A month later I was Offshore India overseeing the subsea installation we had put together in KL.  I was enjoying some exercise on the Heli-deck early morning, listening to Metallica this time, when BAM! The &#8216;confusion&#8217; started creeping in again. I fought it for 10 seconds before realizing what was happening, and then ripped out the wireless headphones. I regained almost immediate composure this time. I knew what to do. I showered, drank lots of water and mentally recounted what and why this happened. This time, I absolutely knew for sure that it was the wireless radiation poisoning that caused the mental confusion, paranoia and anxiety. Lesson freakin&#8217; learned.</p><p></p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://blog.5pillarhealth.com/p/emf-exposure-is-it-really-that-bad/comments&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Leave a comment&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:null}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary" href="https://blog.5pillarhealth.com/p/emf-exposure-is-it-really-that-bad/comments"><span>Leave a comment</span></a></p><p></p><p>I researched this a few months later when I got home. I began to comprehend what damage EMF&#8217;s (Electro Magnetic Fields) can do to the human body. Our bodies are miraculously designed and can repair itself over time, but why would anyone do this if they can avoid it? The take-away here is  =  only use <em><strong>wired headphones</strong></em> if you use headphones for long periods at max volume.</p><p>During my research I found the the world governments&#8217; consensus is that yes, we may require more testing and research, but for now EMF&#8217;s are considered safe. And according to the <strong><a href="https://www.who.int/news-room/questions-and-answers/item/radiation-electromagnetic-fields">WHO</a></strong>, It&#8217;s all lah-dee-dah, &#8216;been extensively tested, nothing to see here folks.</p><p>No surprise to you that I&#8217;m calling bullshit on that one.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"

It&#8217;s quite shocking.</p><p>We are electrical beings and we become deeply affected by the increasing EMF&#8217;s in our society.  Have you noticed all the 5G &amp; microwave towers that have sprouted up in the last 5 years?  Cancers and EMF related diseases are on the rise.  </p><p>I have a very simplistic way of looking at most things these days (thank you Jay &#128521;). Our actions are either &#8220;Building you up&#8221; or &#8220;Tearing you down&#8221;. (Positive or Negative) I firmly place EMF in the &#8216;Tearing you down&#8217; category.

shooting was a professional hit (a ritual executed with military precision - in other words, an assassination) to silence Charlie on his changing views about the Palestine genocide and the Israel ideology. Charlie had a huge audience and the &#8216;powers that be&#8217; could not afford to have that tsunami of consciousness turn against them. Exit Charlie Kirk.</p><p>His martyr may become one of the largest manipulation events of our time because it will be used to divide the masses even further, with the potential to propel humanity into a tailspin. Yes, this event has that much energy behind it.</p><p>Myself and my wife, (I believe, like most people) have not followed Charlie Kirk closely, but we discovered over time that he was extremely clever and could debate anyone on any subject. He dared to talk about many controversial subjects. We understand he was a man of Faith.</p><p>Personally though, I thought Charlie Kirk could have been &#8216;controlled opposition&#8217; with his close ties to President Trump and the current Israeli government. I certainly did not agree with what he said all of the time, but I admired his brilliance and am deeply saddened with the loss of this passionate young man, husband &amp; father.</p><p>And here&#8217;s the point I&#8217;d like to make. Whether you supported Charlie Kirk or not, his murder is being used by the evil cabal in power, to divide us, to weaken us, and ensure war &amp; dystopia occurs. But people! I do believe we have the power to stop it. Let&#8217;s take this monumental opportunity to calmly talk about what is actually happening in the world today. We are all being played. Our media and social-feed algorithms are feeding constant anger. Enough. Like it or not, we are in a Spiritual war - right now!!</p><p>I personally will not play the low vibrational game the social engineers are currently setting up. We all want the same thing. And that is Love. We shall not be programmed into hatred for our fellow man.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

much echoing my own understanding. Seemingly out of nowhere I had this burning desire to know more about Reiki. Throughout that day, I couldn&#8217;t shake the thought and &amp; feeling I had awoken with.</p><p>So, that evening I did what anyone does these days, and Googled the daylights out of it. I could feel myself getting drawn into Reiki right there because the descriptions about it spoke to me. You ever get that feeling that something is made for you? I was hungry for more knowledge. After hours of research, I signed up for a full REIKI online diploma course.</p><p>A few months later when I was back at work (this time Offshore India), an old tooth abscess reared up and I was in absolute agony. I was debating with myself how I was going to leave the project, (typically by helicopter medi-vac) but as I was the only offshore manager onsite, that option was dire...</p><p>Then it hit me! Why not try that Reiki stuff you are doing your course in? So I did, and in about 17 minutes the pain went away. I mean gone. Completely gone. That was months ago. The entire problem has since reversed itself. It&#8217;s a freakin miracle.</p><p>Then another day - offshore again, I developed a pain in my left heel, where I could not put any pressure on it. I just woke up that day with the intense aggravation, so I Reikied that too - &amp; Voila! Pain gone. I thought I was being punked, but how? I vowed then &amp; there that I would pursue REIKI further and properly. When I got home I took a professional in-person Reiki Course to get a recognized level 1 certification.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!pRlq!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fcc741450-efb8-43c1-97ba-e1f297a58815_1100x733.webp" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!pRlq!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fcc741450-efb8-43c1-97ba-e1f297a58815_1100x733.webp 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!pRlq!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fcc741450-efb8-43c1-97ba-e1f297a58815_1100x733.webp 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!pRlq!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fcc741450-efb8-43c1-97ba-e1f297a58815_1100x733.webp 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!pRlq!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fcc741450-efb8-43c1-97ba-e1f297a58815_1100x733.webp 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!pRlq!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fcc741450-efb8-43c1-97ba-e1f297a58815_1100x733.webp" width="1100" height="733" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/cc741450-efb8-43c1-97ba-e1f297a58815_1100x733.webp&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:733,&quot;width&quot;:1100,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:37570,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/webp&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://blog.5pillarhealth.com/i/172412105?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fcc741450-efb8-43c1-97ba-e1f297a58815_1100x733.webp&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!pRlq!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fcc741450-efb8-43c1-97ba-e1f297a58815_1100x733.webp 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!pRlq!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fcc741450-efb8-43c1-97ba-e1f297a58815_1100x733.webp 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!pRlq!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fcc741450-efb8-43c1-97ba-e1f297a58815_1100x733.webp 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!pRlq!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fcc741450-efb8-43c1-97ba-e1f297a58815_1100x733.webp 1456w" sizes="100vw"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p></p><p>In essence, Reiki is a spiritual healing art, rooted in Japan, and now practiced throughout the world.  Reiki is the healing life energy that flows abundantly through the ether and everyone has the ability to tap into this energy through intention.  A client lies down on a message bed, fully clothed, and through the placement of hands on specific body areas, the intelligent life force heals the bodies imbalances.  I believe this energy is a gift from our creator.</p><p>My own Reiki has evolved somewhat over this first year. Whenever I perform Reiki, I&#8217;m definitely coupling to the Universal Life Force and channel that energy through myself and into my client. The entire practice for me, is soulful and another opportunity to connect with the divine.</p><p>In an age where more people seem unhealthier than ever, and where medical practice dictates the use of pharmaceuticals for everything, a totally natural healing method is most welcome.  5 Pillar Health is all about natural health modalities and freedom from institutional entities.  Reiki fits right into the 5PH ethos &#8220;Advocating freedom, independence, and spiritual growth&#8221;</p><p>I never anticipated that Reiki would become a part of my life, never saw it coming. I am now very honored to offer my Reiki practice alongside my coaching program in self-sabotage.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"

Physically, mentally, emotionally, &amp; spiritually. I really have no idea how this event occurred. I just woke up one morning out of alignment and feeling like hell. Doing Tai Chi was extremely painful and I couldn&#8217;t find a mental clearing to practice effective self Reiki. Doubts started flooding in, rapidly replacing my usual positive outlook. Was this some type of past emotional trauma being released? Everything is connected. The body keeps the score.</p><p>Through my years in this realm we call Earth, I have come to trust my intuition which has brought me through a few crises. I&#8217;ve learned through many years of experience that my instinct can be relied upon. And so, this time - even though my pain was debilitating, I had a feeling everything was going to be OK if I just worked through it / lived with it. I meditated on the condition and prayed for the solution.</p><p>The next day, as coincidence would have it, we had our twice weekly Tai Chi practice. The Sifu, aware of my condition, organized the members to circle me and transmit their breath work &#8216;Chi&#8217; towards me. Well, what can I tell ya? Funny how spiritual matters are surrounded in coincidence - because I began to feel better &amp; better as the day and days grew.</p><p>Through all this, it struck me (not for the first time either) that &#8216;everything&#8217; is super important until you are sick. Then you realize that only one thing was ever truly important - and that is your health.</p><p>Sitting here, perhaps 2 weeks later I&#8217;m guessing I&#8217;m at 95% of my usual self. <em><strong>And what is the point of Post 007?</strong></em> It&#8217;s to acknowledge that most people feel like a fraud from time to time. In some circles it&#8217;s referred to as &#8216;imposter syndrome&#8217;. </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!8w4q!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd8f4ea5d-d486-461f-b514-f706e193672a_960x540.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!8w4q!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd8f4ea5d-d486-461f-b514-f706e193672a_960x540.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!8w4q!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd8f4ea5d-d486-461f-b514-f706e193672a_960x540.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!8w4q!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd8f4ea5d-d486-461f-b514-f706e193672a_960x540.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!8w4q!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd8f4ea5d-d486-461f-b514-f706e193672a_960x540.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!8w4q!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd8f4ea5d-d486-461f-b514-f706e193672a_960x540.jpeg" width="960" height="540" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/d8f4ea5d-d486-461f-b514-f706e193672a_960x540.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:540,&quot;width&quot;:960,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:69346,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://blog.5pillarhealth.com/i/170978463?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd8f4ea5d-d486-461f-b514-f706e193672a_960x540.jpeg&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!8w4q!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd8f4ea5d-d486-461f-b514-f706e193672a_960x540.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!8w4q!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd8f4ea5d-d486-461f-b514-f706e193672a_960x540.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!8w4q!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd8f4ea5d-d486-461f-b514-f706e193672a_960x540.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!8w4q!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd8f4ea5d-d486-461f-b514-f706e193672a_960x540.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p></p><p>And I can now appreciate it&#8217;s a normal part of starting out in any new venture.

financial freedom. So why then, do many people have financial issues?</p><p>The answer is typically &#8216;self sabotage&#8217; believe it or not. Through mind control our entire lives, we have been indoctrinated to believe that the rich folk are somehow bad people, acquiring their money through nefarious means, while the financial middle class (or less) is seen as being more noble. These are early constructed programs, running deep in our subconscious minds, and having a huge impact with our relationship with money.</p><p>This is a rally call, to break free of this conditioning and take control of your financial life. Looking back, I can see that I meandered through most of my life not really understanding how to acquire financial abundance. It was not until 2021 that we had some liquidity to consider. (The plandemic was upon us, and we sold our house in Vancouver).</p><p>&#8216;How to invest&#8217;, is not rocket science. A simple Google search will suggest many worthwhile options, but all revolve around the &#8216;diversification&#8217; theme. I could not agree more. When one market is down, another is typically up and the play (volatility) between the markets is where the gravy comes in.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!p6wh!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8792dc03-97e1-473a-8933-20c21650e53d_3328x4864.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!p6wh!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8792dc03-97e1-473a-8933-20c21650e53d_3328x4864.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!p6wh!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8792dc03-97e1-473a-8933-20c21650e53d_3328x4864.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!p6wh!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8792dc03-97e1-473a-8933-20c21650e53d_3328x4864.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!p6wh!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8792dc03-97e1-473a-8933-20c21650e53d_3328x4864.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!p6wh!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8792dc03-97e1-473a-8933-20c21650e53d_3328x4864.jpeg" width="1456" height="2128" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/8792dc03-97e1-473a-8933-20c21650e53d_3328x4864.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:2128,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:14338718,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://blog.5pillarhealth.com/i/169467965?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8792dc03-97e1-473a-8933-20c21650e53d_3328x4864.jpeg&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!p6wh!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8792dc03-97e1-473a-8933-20c21650e53d_3328x4864.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!p6wh!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8792dc03-97e1-473a-8933-20c21650e53d_3328x4864.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!p6wh!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8792dc03-97e1-473a-8933-20c21650e53d_3328x4864.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!p6wh!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8792dc03-97e1-473a-8933-20c21650e53d_3328x4864.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p></p><p>Here in Panama, we personally invested into real estate, crypto and metals.

to the Divine. This gift has been bestowed upon all of us at birth.  And under the right circumstances, at will, we can access this connection through our DNA, our spinal column, and our pineal gland.</p><p>As spiritual beings, we have the power to alter or upgrade our connection to source, if we simply choose to. And we do this by using intention, prayer, breath-work and meditation. I have personally experienced this connection to God through my practices of Reiki and Tai Chi. And it is always a powerful experience.</p><p>I have had many spiritual encounters in my life, but one particular instance stands out because it occurred just 9 months ago. It was around the time of my Reiki awakening. I was in India, offshore, in absolute agony with a tooth ache, and days away from professional dental aid. I literally thought I was going to go insane. I prayed, I invoked the healing power of Reiki and connected to source. (All whilst sat upright in an office chair on a dive boat offshore). I immediately felt the healing power come over me and I instinctively knew something spiritually was happening. I felt I was loved and I was going to be Ok. About 17 minutes later I had ZERO pain. To this day, I think about this connection every day.</p><p>Spirituality is so important, that it is the 4<sup>th</sup> pillar of full-spectrum strength. Sure, we need all 5 pillars of course, to be conversant with vibrant &amp; abundant health - but nothing is so rewarding than creating and maintaining your spiritual connection.</p><p></p><p></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!j_vd!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9b252414-26c1-48a2-a63a-70d84dc50f5d_1550x952.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!j_vd!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9b252414-26c1-48a2-a63a-70d84dc50f5d_1550x952.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!j_vd!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9b252414-26c1-48a2-a63a-70d84dc50f5d_1550x952.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!j_vd!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9b252414-26c1-48a2-a63a-70d84dc50f5d_1550x952.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!j_vd!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9b252414-26c1-48a2-a63a-70d84dc50f5d_1550x952.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!j_vd!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9b252414-26c1-48a2-a63a-70d84dc50f5d_1550x952.png" width="1456" height="894" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/9b252414-26c1-48a2-a63a-70d84dc50f5d_1550x952.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:894,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:130565,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://5pillarhealth.substack.com/i/167729606?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9b252414-26c1-48a2-a63a-70d84dc50f5d_1550x952.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!j_vd!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9b252414-26c1-48a2-a63a-70d84dc50f5d_1550x952.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!j_vd!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9b252414-26c1-48a2-a63a-70d84dc50f5d_1550x952.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!j_vd!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9b252414-26c1-48a2-a63a-70d84dc50f5d_1550x952.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!j_vd!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F9b252414-26c1-48a2-a63a-70d84dc50f5d_1550x952.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>Practicing spirituality is a private affair.

However, it&#8217;s my understanding that spiritual manifestations are best experienced on an individual level.</p><p>Looking around me, here in the Panamanian mountains, my wife and I feel more connected to God than we ever have.

I also see our elected leaders purposely dampening our spirituality through mind control and poisons. Realize&#8230; that God can never be erased, <em>and nor can your spiritual connection if you exercise your natural abilities gifted to you.</em></p><p>I urge you, to get yourself healthy.

Government control largely revolves around weaponizing human emotions.</p><p>In Post #004 today, we briefly discuss the Emotional pillar.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LUAh!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd5b3d7df-5b47-4159-8bf3-2d91b5a05d3f_800x498.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LUAh!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd5b3d7df-5b47-4159-8bf3-2d91b5a05d3f_800x498.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LUAh!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd5b3d7df-5b47-4159-8bf3-2d91b5a05d3f_800x498.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LUAh!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd5b3d7df-5b47-4159-8bf3-2d91b5a05d3f_800x498.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LUAh!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd5b3d7df-5b47-4159-8bf3-2d91b5a05d3f_800x498.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LUAh!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd5b3d7df-5b47-4159-8bf3-2d91b5a05d3f_800x498.png" width="534" height="332.415" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/d5b3d7df-5b47-4159-8bf3-2d91b5a05d3f_800x498.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:498,&quot;width&quot;:800,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:534,&quot;bytes&quot;:51103,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://5pillarhealth.substack.com/i/167180322?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd5b3d7df-5b47-4159-8bf3-2d91b5a05d3f_800x498.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LUAh!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd5b3d7df-5b47-4159-8bf3-2d91b5a05d3f_800x498.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LUAh!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd5b3d7df-5b47-4159-8bf3-2d91b5a05d3f_800x498.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LUAh!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd5b3d7df-5b47-4159-8bf3-2d91b5a05d3f_800x498.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!LUAh!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fd5b3d7df-5b47-4159-8bf3-2d91b5a05d3f_800x498.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p></p><p>I remember this particular time in my own life. It was 50 years ago. I was 10 years old at the time, and I was going through a very fat, awkward, emotional stage that some adolescents go through. I was an &#8216;only child&#8217; and my parents were going through a divorce. One summer day, I suddenly recognized myself as being depressed - though in the same instant I had an epiphany that I had a choice on how I was going to proceed through this. Instinctively I chose to look at the positive side. Chose to be positive. It just seemed easier to cast any burdens adrift and play without any emotional chains attached.</p><p>30 years later my wife and I both took <strong>Landmark</strong>&#174; courses where its proffered that life itself is empty and meaningless, and its only the meaning that <em>You</em> provide to it that defines how we operate throughout our lives. One guy will react this way, another woman may react another way. Same event. Different emotions, different outcomes. The outcome firmly fixed by how they chose to react and think about a particular experience.</p><p>We do not have to be our emotions&#8217; bitch. We do not have to live with negative emotional triggers. Physical, mental, <em><strong>emotional</strong></em>, spiritual and financial pillars are all part of full-spectrum health which is available to all of us. Emotional strength, in its most basic form, is simply a choice you can choose to make. All this is my own opinion of course, but I say this with some authority because even a 10 year old can do it.</p><p>So, going back those 50 years, (still not knowing where the wisdom came from), I decided to look upon things in a positive manner. I approached my days with gratitude, understanding I had two parents who loved me, and I had all I could possibly ask for. I decided to look upon things with a spiritual propensity. Each day was a gift. Coincidentally, looking back I believe this was my first understanding of Ying Yang. I had no idea how this simple choice would positively affect my life.</p><p>Everyone is a healer, and everyone has influence. We unlock this internal power by being in control of our emotions. You can do this. We can all be emotionally strong if we choose to be.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

decisions.</p><p>There is a made for TV Netflix special entitled <em><a href="https://vimeo.com/815123614/6946180c6b">The PUSH</a> </em>which aired around two years ago. The show centers around a &#8216;mark&#8217; who is mind controlled to commit murder on national TV in 70 minutes. The Push ran for four episodes, and three out of the four subjects committed murder. The link to the show I chose to present is of the <em>one man</em> who opted out of murder in the last minute.</p><p>Another example, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EchfO2pjOrM">a lighter one this time</a>. The host (Derren Brown) uses subliminal messaging to 100% guarantee compliance with a purchase decision. It&#8217;s fun to watch how this was accomplished in just 17 minutes.</p><p>In those two examples alone, one taking 70 minutes and the other only 17 minutes, do you really think it&#8217;s a far stretch to believe that mind control could not happen to you? Remember the government, educational system, marketing professionals, and social media have been manipulating us for decades. It&#8217;s phenomenal really, when you care to give the notion a chance to sink in.</p><p>I suggest understanding whats at play here and moving ahead with alacrity. Stand strong mentally and focus in on what brings you your own personal peace. Avoid the distractions. I read a quote just today which says something along the lines of <em>&#8220;say no to anything that isn't in alignment with your priorities&#8221;</em>. Hooya to that! If we could just do that, imagine the positive concentrated energy available to us and the abundance of quality mental health?</p><p>All matter (or energy) has a vibration and a certain resonance we can feel if we just take a quiet moment to experience it. Our souls understand honesty, and when we are operating within the vibration of integrity and truth. In order to overcome mind control we need to be more present within our conscious minds. Let the subconscious mind take care of our hair growth, and heart beating. Strong individuals employing the 5 pillars of health ignore the constant repetition of signals (mind control), and primarily experience life in their conscious minds. It&#8217;s a beautiful life when our mental health is sound, and this is what I&#8217;m striving for.</p><p>I will be writing much more about mind control and mental health in my future posts. But if you would appreciate additional information I recommend reading <a href="https://www.jchristoff.com/blog">Jason Christoff,</a> and <a href="https://solarireport.substack.com/p/mind-control-tactics-used-on-young">Catherine Austin Fitts</a>, two fabulous people who truly have a handle on mind control.</p><p>Email me (<em><a href="mailto:andy@5pillarhealth.com">Andy @5PillarHealth.com</a></em>) if you want to see a few more examples of mind control.

The deeper we looked, the more we were drawn into the rabbit hole(s) of our time. All our research lead us to the same conclusion.</p><p>Which is&#8230;the World, as of 2025, is being dominated by negative forces. Call it what you will&#8230;nefarious, evil, demonic, whatever word that works for you that best describes the dark energy currently at play here. The biblical Good vs Evil. The more one researches, the more one understands that these dark forces have been slowly infusing abhorrent matter into the educational, medical, judicial, and financial institutions since time began&#8230; and going hell-for-leather in the last 40 years - and here we find ourselves in this global moment right now. This is truly what we have learned.</p><p>However, I&#8217;m not going to go down this road, not even a bit in this post or likely others. I&#8217;m just felt the need to point out <strong>why </strong>nothing makes sense anymore, <strong>why</strong> we find ourselves living in this inverted state and <strong>why </strong>the ungodly current of negative energy is sweeping over the world. It&#8217;s all by design. I think we all need to understand this, acknowledge it, and move forward with a positive outlook. At 5 Pillar Health, we&#8217;ll purposely concentrate on positive actions and self empowerment, leaving the defeatist point-of-view in the rear view mirror.</p><p>So what can we do? The answer lies in strengthening what you have control over. <em><strong>Yourself.</strong></em> The very first step is to get your Health in order! Physical health is first-&amp;-foremost the most important Pillar of full-spectrum strength. With a healthy body supporting you, you will then (<em>and probably only then</em>) be able to bolster the Mental, Emotional, Spiritual and Financial Pillars. We all need to improve our health in order to create a better experience for ourselves and our loved ones. Life is just plain easier and happier when we look at ourselves in the mirror and are able to smile at what we see - emanating vibrant health!</p><p>So, that means <em><strong>dropping or doing less</strong></em> alcohol, coffee, sugar, and taking in negative media sources and <em><strong>increasing </strong></em>physical activity, organic whole food and absorbing positive and spiritual influences. I am personally following my own advice by consciously limiting my coffee and alcohol, I&#8217;ve dropped all processed sugar, and my wife and I try to eat whole food as often as we can (often from our own greenhouse). We are currently building our new home, and a main feature will be the Gym. It&#8217;s a lifestyle choice we are focusing on.</p><p>Our initial goals should be all about progress, not perfection. And of course, I&#8217;ve had my own periods of self sabotage throughout my life and I&#8217;ll discuss those in later posts (please remind me!).</p><p>If you would like a free copy of the 5 Pillar Health &#8220;Healthy Living Guide&#8221;, email me at: <a href="mailto:Andy@5pillarhealth.com">Andy@5pillarhealth.com</a></p><p>Imagine the world if the majority of people turned their back on negative influences, and concentrated on cultivating themselves physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually. We would experience a totally different enlightened existence, full of positive influences, love and light.</p><p>Please remember, Good always triumphs over Evil.</p><p>Keep moving &amp; keep the faith!   </p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!UZ1K!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3f5db2b0-f8bf-4f30-9b12-48a6b3fd011d_240x240.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!UZ1K!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3f5db2b0-f8bf-4f30-9b12-48a6b3fd011d_240x240.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!UZ1K!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3f5db2b0-f8bf-4f30-9b12-48a6b3fd011d_240x240.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!UZ1K!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3f5db2b0-f8bf-4f30-9b12-48a6b3fd011d_240x240.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!UZ1K!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3f5db2b0-f8bf-4f30-9b12-48a6b3fd011d_240x240.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!UZ1K!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3f5db2b0-f8bf-4f30-9b12-48a6b3fd011d_240x240.jpeg" width="240" height="240" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/3f5db2b0-f8bf-4f30-9b12-48a6b3fd011d_240x240.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:240,&quot;width&quot;:240,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:14420,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://5pillarhealth.substack.com/i/164451945?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Ff349f827-e759-4254-a2e6-6467340a191d_240x240.jpeg&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!UZ1K!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3f5db2b0-f8bf-4f30-9b12-48a6b3fd011d_240x240.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!UZ1K!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3f5db2b0-f8bf-4f30-9b12-48a6b3fd011d_240x240.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!UZ1K!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3f5db2b0-f8bf-4f30-9b12-48a6b3fd011d_240x240.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!UZ1K!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3f5db2b0-f8bf-4f30-9b12-48a6b3fd011d_240x240.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div></div></div></a></figure></div><p></p><p></p><p>P.S.

This is post No. 001 and it is my honor and privilege to have you along with me, as I discuss all things leading individuals towards true independence.</p><p>My own personal &#8220;independence&#8221; journey started in 2020 during the Covid pandemic when nothing made sense anymore, and my wife and I both realized that we could no longer support the institutions which we had previously entrusted. Our world was turned upside down. I had to leave my 40 year profession as a subsea specialist (Saturation diver, ADS pilot, Supervisor, Project Manager, Consultant) because I would not take the Covid injection. Thank God my wife&#8217;s values have always been aligned with my own. We were ridiculed in the stores for not masking, and our own (Canadian) government threatened we could no longer travel. Enough was enough. Cue our digging deep into the truth about everything and the wild ride we&#8217;ve had over the last 5 years. In 2021 we left Canada and are now pursuing a self-sufficient, independent lifestyle in Central America, where we are building our beautiful new home up in the Panamanian mountains. These posts will discuss what it takes to recreate yourself, how to discover your true potential, and of course I&#8217;ll coach others on how to do the same.</p><p>So, exactly what is being illuminated here? I will be specifically exploring the 5 principals of true personal, full-spectrum strength - which are the Physical, Mental, Emotional, Spiritual and Financial pillars. Of course, we&#8217;ll look at these 5 pillars in more detail in later posts.</p><p>As well as working with you wonderful people as a Personal Development Coach, (specializing in Self Sabotage), my website, posts and articles will take a deeper look into my Reiki practice and openly discuss the virtues of Urine Therapy. Wow. Even as I type this I realize that this seems like quite a diverse range of subjects, yet they all revolve around elevating personal strength and health and independence in one way or another.</p><p>Creating a community of like-minded folk has been a desire of mine from the beginning. I&#8217;ll start by encouraging comments on my Substack and <a href="http://www.5pillarhealth.com">website</a> posts, expanding the discussions and answering all questions. It should be fun if nothing else. We learn together.</p><p>Thank you for tuning in, and I promise you all there&#8217;s much more to come. I look forward to seeing you in two weeks. Posting twice a month around the 1<sup>st</sup> &amp; 15<sup>th</sup>.</p><p>Chao.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank"
