“Throughout 2020, before vaccines were available, 99.9 percent of people's natural immune systems protected their owners from severe illness and death. The CDC and World Health Organization, indeed all global health authorities, have recognized that healthy people, with healthy immune systems, bear minimal risk from COVID. Indeed, many people, according to our health authorities, have an immune response sufficient that they don't even know they have COVID. Maloy's pronouncement hat humans cannot fight off COVID-19 without a vaccine is misinformation in its purest form.”

“Man was not truly seeking liberation All the time, he was trying to become immortal. The idea of liberation — mokṣa or nirvāṇa is often misunderstood, because it implies the complete dissolution of the individual self. If liberation of the self were the only goal,
a single mantra would have been enough. Then why did we develop
sophisticated mantras, yantras, and tantras? Why yoga, āsanas, meditation,
disciplined living, and eating healthy? These were not created to dissolve life,
but to sustain it. Everything was designed
to preserve energy, refine the body,
and extend life to live here, consciously, in the physical body. The real pursuit was not liberation, but to endure life and become immortal”

“Tribute to the dead is meaningless. Corpses are 3D – dead, deaf and dumb. Only the living can appreciate their tributes. If only we tell the living the sweet things we tell their corpses, some would have lived longer or happier. If you have swallowed pleasantries to your beloved ones, start vomiting them right away to avoid food poisoning or constipation. When do you prefer your tribute, dead or alive?”
