While the world is fixated on news of ongoing wars in different regions, analysts speak of military strategies, geographical borders, and economic interests. But if we look deeper, what is unfolding today on the battlefields is not merely a military confrontation, but the terrifying emergence of an “informational disease.”

Today’s wars—especially in areas directly or indirectly tied to religion and belief—are the final result of viruses that have infected not cells, but the very “existential meaning” of the human being.

We mistakenly think wars begin with weapons; but the truth is that wars begin with what is spoken. When a toxic ideology is planted in the mind of a child or a young person through waswas (وسواس)—a form of constant and paralyzing repetition—it rewrites the physiological structure of their brain.

This pathological information, like a dormant virus—khannas (خناس)—hides in the deeper layers of existence and, at the moment of activation, transforms a human—from a magnificent being created for peace—into an instrument of destruction. What we see in wars are not soldiers, but hosts whose will has been seized by a “parasitic thought.”

Science has proven that under hypnosis, words can force the body into intense physical reactions. In ideological wars, we are faced with a form of “collective hypnosis.” When “pseudo-sacred” words replace sensory perception, a person no longer feels another’s pain, because the implanted language has numbed their nervous system to “humanity.” 

The countless deaths throughout history that have resulted from a single “belief” demonstrate that the destructive power of pathological information far exceeds that of any biological virus.

Our creation was not flawed so that it would need to evolve through bloodshed. We were born with the full capacity for love and awareness. But it is these “semantic viruses” that have caused a stutter in the process of manifesting our existence. 

Religious fanaticism and ideological strongholds are, in truth, the fortresses of a physiological disease. The fanatic is not a sinner; they are an ill patient whose meaning-processing system in the brain has become inflamed and is no longer capable of perceiving the unity of creation.

The reason these wars persist is that these viruses are injected to human beings during childhood. When pathological information becomes part of the brain’s “hardware,” changing it becomes as difficult as altering the structure of bones. Today’s world, more than peace treaties, needs an “informational disinfection” and an awakening of the immune system of awareness.

Look at the map of wars; these are not maps of politics, but maps of the spread of a dangerous epidemic. As long as we accept “toxic beliefs” as sacred and give them identity, we are, in fact, cultivating the virus of the next war.

Awareness is the only existing vaccine. Let us return to the authenticity of our being and free ourselves from the captivity of pathological words, so that we may once again manifest the grandeur of creation in peace.
