Just as our political and social leaders reflect we the people, so do our spiritual leaders. The spiritual and religious leaders of a war-like culture will justify and encourage war, or they will simply be marginalized and ignored in favor of those who will...

Similarly, the spiritual leaders and teachers of a herding culture (like ours) will justify and enable the exploitation of nonhuman animals for food and products, and they will be rewarded for this by being respected, affluent, and successful, and those who directly challenge animal exploitation will be ignored and marginalized. And yet, there always seems to be a few who resonate with these generally ignored prophetic voices crying in the wilderness, and through such as these, cultures and individuals can evolve in a positive direction...

The momentum in this direction seems to be increasing daily, and given the urgency of our cultural, health, economic, and ecological predicament, bringing the vegan teachings of radical inclusion, respect, and lovingkindness into our religious institutions is a number one priority.

And worse, from the constant dialogue presented by the media and health authorities, we are led to believe that this increased vulnerability is inevitable. But is this true?

In this article I will present a different and more empowering perspective that, unfortunately, isn’t often emphasized by the many leaders and experts that are appearing in the media these days. From politicians to physicians, virologists to infectious disease specialists, one of the key elements that defines our current crisis seems too taboo for any of them to even mention. In fact, it could even land them in trouble- especially in the court of public opinion. Well, here it is anyway: Your vulnerability is far from being inevitable and, when it comes to the immune system, scientists have indeed discovered the fountain of youth.
