Pathways to Conscious Health
It’s Just a Mask!
By Dr Catherine Fyans
Melbourne, Australia has been the most locked-downed city on the planet. We Melburnians endured month after month of gruelling lockdown, to eventually birth our weary, disheartened and oppressed beings firmly into the land of medical apartheid in November 2021. The easing of restrictions occurred just before the Melbourne Cup – that representation of all that is tacky, shallow, greed-fuelled and dissolute about our society. Coincidence? I think not! Give them bread and circuses!
The on-again, off-again mask scenario has continued right through the Christmas - New Year period and into 2022, and will impact our children heading back to school, where they will be required to sit, for several hours a day in the class-room, wearing these useless and harmful items of apparel. Not to mention subjecting our children to the inappropriate, unnecessary and potentially dangerous twice weekly, or more often, nasal swabbing. Our society has well and truly been gripped by germ phobia, which has, alarmingly, involved our children.
Medical apartheid, two-tiered society or whatever you might want to call it, is in stark contrast to the oft repeated mantra of “We’re in this together.” Well, not for some. We were never in this together. Not if we cared to have an opinion or perspective different to the official spiel. Not if we dared to have queries or ask questions – or even exercise our common sense.
Many of us are now modernday untouchables as we negotiate our way around the doors that have been firmly shut in the face of our conscientious decisions. Should we wear a symbol of our differences of opinion for all to see, so that others can more easily discern our not having been taken over by Group Think and thus relegated to the status of dangerous recalcitrant? And for how long will this conditional ‘freedom’ continue for anyone? Until the next booster? Or, the next? “ But I just want to travel…”
Which brings me to the masks. Twenty months down the track since the beginning of this whole fiasco, and despite the mass inoculation of adults and older children, it has now been mandated that primary aged school children be masked during their in-school hours. For the first time during this whole episode, after twenty months of severe restrictions, little kids down to the age of eight. One has to ask – why this and why now?

The flip-flopping of directives deliberately confuses the populace into even more fearful compliance to unproven, non-sensical sanctions. In lockdown, out of lockdown, back in lockdown, masks on, masks off, masks on… ‘Simon says…’
As Einstein allegedly quoted, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” This is indeed a mass psychosis of sorts.
Many experts would agree that the wearing of face masks by the largely healthy population is ineffective against the spread of viruses and potentially very dangerous - particularly to our children. All ignored by the powers that be.
Potential adverse outcomes for children by wearing face masks include: dental cavities; facial deformities due to predominant mouth breathing; acne vulgaris; increased risk of respiratory infections, including bacterial pneumonia (re-breathing microbes); relative hypoxia/ hypercapnia; acidification; immune suppression and prolonged discomfort and fatigue. To name a few!
Even more concerning than the potential adverse physical effects, the wearing of masks is a potent symbol to the psyche. Imagery has a powerful effect on the unconscious mind, particularly that of the young child. Face masks are a symbol of compliance, obedience, helplessness, vulnerability and silence; all swept under the guise of being a considerate health directive.
Potential psychological harm includes: over-activation of the stress pathways, interruption of the calming vagal ‘faceheart connection’, stress from not being able to interpret the nuances of facial expression (as we are designed to do!) and the negative impact on communication. And particularly, this ritual instills the belief that we cannot rely on our normal immune systems and are thus inherently unhealthy and vulnerable; this, from a mind-body’ perspective, will potentially impair our immune systems. Aside from that, they are dehumanising, grotesque and a symbol of slavery and cult membership.
Mass masking also suggests that we humans, just by our very existence, are dangerous entities to each other. How is that going to impact the psyches of our young children? We’re all in this together, right?
People can wear masks if they choose or live their lives hiding under their beds if they feel this protects them. Their choice. However, to impose this on the healthy and our children is abhorrent and defies all good research on the matter and all humaneness and common sense.

A characteristic of this whole narrative has been the gradual weaving of concepts and ideas into the population’s psyche in order to instil them as hardened beliefs into the collective consciousness. This is done meticulously and relentlessly until these new concepts and procedures are unquestionably accepted as normal.
It is alarming that the masking of our young children was likely preparing our communities for the mass inoculation of younger and younger children - without protest from the majority of should-be protective adults. As we are seeing.
We should not be leveraging our children to push an agenda or appease the unbridled fear of the adult population. We should not be labelling our youth as ‘super-spreaders’, that manipulative, emotive term that is totally unfounded by any good science, not to mention common sense. We should be looking after our children’s real needs, protecting their life years and their normal development first!
