Learn to apply the truth to issues - Dr Fiagbe

Kumasi, Dec. 30, GNA - Dr Yao Fiagbe, a lecturer at the Faculty of Pharmacy, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), has advised Ghanaians to learn to apply the truth to all that they see and hear.

"Through this, the falsehood, doubts and negativity that turn people including even nations into lunatic asylum will be removed," he said.

Dr Fiagbe was delivering a public lecture on "Holistic Health and Healing (Past, Present and Future)" in Kumasi.

He said there should not be any illusion about the fact that a relationship existed between man and God and that awareness of this was vital for holistic health.

Dr Fiagbe attributed hatred, anger, selfishness, jealousy and a host of others vices plaguing the society to the lack of peace and harmony between man and God.

He said it was important to ensure that the minds of the people were linked to the perfect mind of God adding "Perfect mind does not hold imperfect things". Dr Fiagbe reminded Ghanaians that just as the eating of unwholesome food could cause indigestion and could make the consumer unhealthy, so could the invasion of harmful and impure thoughts lead to psychic indigestion.

He said: "We should therefore carry the divineness, the quintessence of God in us and refuse to appreciate any imperfect condition.

There is perfect harmony in creation, perfection is the only reality, imperfection, ill-health and poverty are all not real. "If you open your mouth to say, I am poor, you will definitely attract poverty," he added.

Dr Fiagbe exhorted the people to free their minds of concepts and preconceived ideas and allow "the intelligence of God" to manifest in their minds, thoughts and body in order to act consciously in consonance with God.
