It has stopped making sense, so let's just say no.

Let's stand up for health and happiness.

The return of so-called mask mandates looms large in many countries – in some, they never left. Most people reading this will already know that masks don’t prevent infection. I suspect many of you are also fully aware that masks are dehumanising, divisive and detrimental to health and happiness.

I’m not going to go into detail here about the science – there is a comprehensive list of mask studies to be found here, and I highly recommend this article from World Council for Health on the risks versus benefits of masks for children.

The problem we face is not a lack of data. There’s plenty of that. The problem is a widespread fear of going against government orders and being punished as a result.

For many, it is hard to refuse to wear a mask – in some countries, very hard indeed. Refusal can lead to social exclusion, abuse, and financial hardship through multiple fines. It can leave people locked out of public spaces, schools, universities and workplaces, unable to go about their lives.

As a result, there are many people who know intuitively that masks are a terrible idea, but obey the mandates for an easier life. There is no judgment here: everyone has their reasons and we are all trying our best.

I can tell you from experience that going against a popular narrative is not easy – but it is rich with meaning, deep connection, love and miracles. Dr Vladimir Zelenko, who passed away last week, knew this. He lived his life in service to humanity, and his work saved countless lives and inspired many more to follow in his footsteps. The more people are coming together and standing up for truth and their children, the more I have come to realise that the Covid crisis is here to jog us into remembering who we are and what is important in life – and it certainly isn’t following external orders that do not make sense, just to keep others happy.

In his final days, Dr Vladimir Zelenko had a clear message for us all. He predicted the return of masks and policies of isolation, and he said:

“If I have to leave the world, I accept God’s will, but I encourage and plead with everyone else to up your game and stand up and resist. Resist first within yourselves against giving in to fear, and then resist publicly against the policies of tyranny that are coming again.”

We need to follow Dr Zelenko’s instruction: for our own sakes and for the next generation. So, let’s start with the inner work of facing down our fear. I believe much of our fear comes from having forgotten who we truly are, and our rightful place in the world. We think government is up top while we sit somewhere below it. As Professor Dolores Cahill explained in our Tess Talks conversation, this couldn’t be further from the truth.

You are born sovereign, a term I previously associated with royalty, but now know it means free and autonomous.  As a sovereign being, you make your own rules, regulations, and laws for yourself.  You are endowed with inalienable rights that cannot be taken, contracted, gifted away, nor can they be transferred. 

One of these is the right to bodily autonomy. All mask mandates violate this right and are thus unlawful. When you truly understand your sovereignty and your rights, you start to embody this understanding – and you become immensely powerful. This is a process of deprogramming and it takes time. However, it behooves us all to make efforts to understand it, so we can liberate ourselves from the dystopian ‘easy life’ that those in power have set out for us – which requires us to blindly follow orders, no matter what nonsense they comprise, and take responsibility for the consequences.

With this in mind, my wonderful colleague and Natural Law expert Ruth has created some resources to help us all understand our rights and stand up to mask mandates.

These include a letter (UK-based) that you can present to any business demanding that you wear a mask – and a similar version adapted for schools. I also warmly recommend taking a look at Ruth’s wonderful course, Sovereign Natural Empowerment, which is available free.

Above all, know that you are not alone. We stand together, and small actions can create big change. Or, as Dr Zelenko said, “A little light pushes away a lot of darkness.’’ Let’s be that light together.
