Addressing stress related trauma in military personnel …What do you know about the inner workings of the human brain/mind? – Part 1
Surely everything that humans do from talking, handling weapons, designing rockets, vehicles, skyscrapers to composing music is not the result of simple cellular network interactions, because everything that humans do or think or feel is the effective results of these basic units of brain structure and the building blocks of the brain-called NEURONS.
1. HOW ARE THOUGHTS FORMED IN THE BRAIN?
2. HOW DO THEY LOOK LIKE AND WHAT IS THE
ABSOLUTE MATHEMATICAL FORMULA?
3. WHAT IS ITS CEREBRAL CODE?
The human brain contains more than a minimum of a trillion neurons according to my research as (Human Brain Cell Network Software Engineer.).
Neuroscience can only boast of knowing just 120 billion neurons.
Just as a single ant can never build an ant hill – a single neuron cannot think, feel or remember but holds complex data and information. A neuron’s power is a result of its connections to other neurons. Each neuron is connected to as many as thousands and billions of its neighbors.
My ultimate goal in the life of every Military Officer is to communicate with neurons in the human brain through their trillions of connections to provide highly sophisticated playing fields upon which complex activities of neurons can take place- building super Military Brains, creating intelligent ideas to solve problems of any kind- Military Intelligence, Super Rocket science Activities, etc.
Special chemicals and nutrients including electrical energy are generated and manufactured in the human brain system beyond the knowledge and understanding and limits of modern science.
In Neuro Kinetics Aesthetics Engineering & Surgery, the story is different from what we have been forced to learn and believe.
As an Inventor Scientist I use high levels of Neural Kinetics Aesthetics
Engineering Networking Systems to work on the inner beings of the human system beginning from the content of the cranium to execute absolute neural kinetics aesthetics activities- a super high way neural network engineering platform to network all neurons together and help solve mysteries of the past, present and future.
EMOTIONAL SURGERY – De-stressing the brain by removing unwanted stressors from the human mind which kills without warning using Neuro
Vibrators, Neuro-Activators and Stimulators with color frequencies in design.
(RE-PROGRAMMING HUMAN BRAIN CELLS TO OPEN THE GENETIC CODE OF CREATIVE INTELLIGENCE).
The brain responds to special color stimuli design through Neuro Kinetic
Aesthetic Surgery. Stimulating the brain by inducing the neurons (Building blocks of the brain) to seduce the brain with the frequency of colors in design shape form.
Each neuron can turn its neighbor on or off depending on the signal it receives and sends, and the resulting constant patterns of neurons firing represents MEMORIES, IMAGES and THOUGHTS.
Scientists and Neuroscientists in general do not understand the relationship between neuro-activity and mental experience. Science does not yet know what the precise pattern of memory, image or thought look like. They don’t even know how to read the Cerebral Code of the neurons but progress has been made by the Ace INVENTOR through Surgery for Emotions, Neuro
Kinetic Aesthetics Engineering, Neuro Kinetics Aesthetics Surgery and
Emotional Art Surgery.
We should pay more attention to our mind/thoughts and hearts because what happens there has a greater impact on our bodies and lives not forgetting the environment and more importantly on the Softer part of the human system which is highly delicate. It does not tolerate any forms of orthodox medication.
Of a truth, 87.7% of illnesses can be attributed to our Thought Life and approximately 12.3% to diet, genetics and environment.
Research conclusively link more chronic diseases also known as lifestyle diseases to toxic emotions- Toxic emotions like anger, fear, bitterness, hate, anxiety, un-forgiveness, etc have been found to have direct links with different forms of cancer, migraines, dizziness , nausea, traumatic brain injuries, heart and bowel problems.
Our bodies are also wired to vibrations of the environment, including environmental gaseous substances from plants and planetary powers and forces.
Toxic emotions release chemicals, electrical impulses that if done so over a sustained period may cause damage to our system-ie. CORTISOL. Our bodies can only sustain certain body generated or manufactured chemicals for short periods of time before, it becomes harmful.
There is more to the human being than the physical, than the drugs and then than Surgery. So, the other part of your being what treatment is there for it?

Today, I focus on the Apostolic Church International in Finland, as I continue with my description of institutions and personalities and their accomplishments as members of the Ghanaian Diaspora in Finland.
The Apostolic Church International, Finland (or, Apostolic International Association Ry) was established in October 9, 2023. The Church in Finland has seen significant strides and accomplishments within the short time that it has been established in Finland, which must be highlighted.
History of the Church in Ghana
The Apostolic Church Ghana originated from the 1904–1905 Welsh revival, officially established in Ghana (then called Gold Coast) in 1935 following connections between a local prayer group in Asamankese (a town in southern Ghana), led by Peter Newman Anim, and the Apostolic Church, UK. There were historical splits in 1939 and 1953, but the Apostolic Church attained autonomy in 1985.
Today, the Church is headquartered in Accra. Last year (2025), it dedicated its new 10-storey headquarters, “The Apostolic Church Tower,” in Frafraha, Adenta West in Accra.
Activities of the Apostolic Church in Finland
The Apostolic Church in Finland conducts church service on Sundays. The service starts at 11a.m. in the morning and closes by 1 p.m. in the afternoon. There are no other activities during other days for now.
The Minister in charge of the church in Finland is also the Area Head of Italy Area. He is Pastor Daniel Kofi Addison who is the new Italy Area Head, and has just been transferred from UK South Area to Italy Area during the just-ended Council Meeting in March this year. Italy Area comprises Italy, which has 13 Assemblies, Germany, one Assembly, and Finland, one Assembly.
Elder Ebenezer Amoaning-Coffie is the Presiding Elder in charge of the Assembly in Finland. A Presiding Elder is responsible for day to day activities of the church (Assembly) and reports to the District Pastor, or in the absence of the District Pastor, reports to the Area Head.
Achievements
The Apostolic Church International, Finland was officially registered under the Finnish Law, guaranteeing freedom of worship and providing legal foundation for future growth. The church service is conducted in both English and Twi.
The church opens its doors to all people of every nation, especially Ghanaians who are in Finland and other African nationals. Now, the membership comprises Ghanaians, Nigerians and Sierra Leoneans.
The Church and the Ghanaian migrant community in Finland
The Apostolic Church in Finland plays a prominent role as a religious group that serves Ghanaian migrants and others in the Finnish society.
Thus, the Apostolic Church is a religious body for Ghanaian migrants in Finland and other nationalities who want to worship with them for diversity and better intercultural and multicultural understanding.
Elder Amoaning-Coffie said that the main and primary aim of the church is to bring people closer to God. “We aim to win souls for Christ. We aim to preach the gospel to the world. By propagating the gospel to the people, we are hopeful that they will turn away from any ungodly ways and be good individuals in the community and in society in general”, he stated.
He said that everything is going well so far. A key challenge, however, is how to get more members especially the youth. As a new Assembly, we are in need of instrumentalists, for example. We pray to God Almighty to help us do His work, the Elder disclosed.
Integration
By its activities, the Apostolic Church is helping to ensure integration of its members well into the Finish society. This is important since social interaction and citizens’ well-being are an important part of the integration process in Finland.
As I mentioned some time ago, the role of migrant associations and groups such as the Apostolic Church acting as bridge-builders for the integration and inclusion of migrants through participation in the decision making process and by acting as a representative voice is highly appreciated in Finland. Thank you!
With Dr Perpetual Crentsil
The landscape of the Ghanaian palate is shifting, and not necessarily for the better. In our bustling urban centres, from the streets of Accra to the suburbs of Kumasi, a quiet culinary revolution is taking place; one where the mortar and pestle are being replaced by the pizza oven and the deep fryer. This transition from traditional staple foods like fufu, banku, akple, kenkey, tuo zaafi, and ampesi toward “continental” dishes is more than just a change in appetite; it is a reflection of a deeper social struggle with identity and prestige.
The illusion of modernity
For many, “stepping out” for a meal has become synonymous with consuming foreign cuisine. There is an unspoken social hierarchy where a bowl of Abunuabunu is relegated to the village category, while burgers, pizzas are branded as prestigious choices. We have reached a stage where we equate foreign with modern and local with primitive.
This perception is a dangerous illusion. Our traditional dishes are marvels of culinary engineering complex, nutrient-dense, and deeply rooted in our history. When we choose a processed foreign import over a meal made from local tubers or fermented maize, we are not just changing our lunch; we are eroding the indigenous knowledge attached to our local ingredients and foods.
We need to turn the consumption of indigenous grains and tubers like millet, sorghum, and plantain into a statement of self-worth and national pride.
The cultural and health erosion
Every time a local dish disappears from a restaurant menu to make room for foreign fast food, we lose a piece of our cultural fabric. Traditional Ghanaian cooking is an art that requires patience and skill. By choosing the convenience of foreign fast food, we are raising a generation that may know the taste of a pepperoni pizza but cannot identify the rich, earthy profile of Prekese or the subtle tang of well-fermented dough dishes like corn porridge, banku, etew, abolo, agidi or kamfa, and kenkey.
Furthermore, we are at the crossroads of a nutrition transition. Replacing high-fiber, indigenous crops with calorie-dense but nutrient-poor foreign fast foods is driving a rise in lifestyle diseases such as obesity, hypertension, diabetes, stroke, cancer, and liver disease. We are trading our longevity for 15-minutes convenience or unhealthy diet.
A call for culinary patriotism
It is time for us to appreciate, preserve, and promote our indigenous foods and culinary traditions. We need to be proud of our local dishes, ingredients and cooking methods, rather than relying heavily on foreign or imported foods. We must stop viewing our local delicacies as low-class and start treating our culinary heritage as the high-end gastronomy it truly is.
True sophistication does not come from imitating Western fast food; it comes from innovation and adding values to our own resources. We see glimpses of this potential in the rise of branded Sobolo and the creative use of gluten-free plantain flour in modern baking of flour-based dishes such as bread, cakes, biscuits and others. This is the path forward. We must elevate our local dishes, making them as accessible, affordable, presentable and trendy as any foreign alternative.
To the hospitality industry: Innovate or stagnate
Our hotels and high-end restaurants must lead the charge. They must stop relegating local dishes to the “traditional corner” of the buffet, and apply the same culinary finesse given to imported dishes to our Fante Fante, apapransa, aborbi tadi, fetritoto, akple, abolo, yakayeke, fufu, ampesi, kokonte, wasawasa, tubani, apapransa, mpotompoto, kelewele, aliha, brukutu, pito, and other local dishes. The industry must enhance customer experiences making eating local dishes the ultimate luxury experience for both tourists and residents alike. We must elevate the presentation of our foods by using modern plating techniques to show that a bowl of light soup can be as visually stunning as a French consommé. We need to reclaim our Ghanaian plate before it is too late.
To the policy makers: Let us encourage buying of local ingredients to promote the local food industry and economy. There should be educational programmes and talks about the nutritional and cultural benefits of local foods so that people understand their value.
We need to encourage serving traditional dishes at school programmes, parties, and celebrations instead of only fast foods,
To the Youth: Let us value and appreciate our traditional dishes instead of always choosing foreign foods. There must be balance in our choice of local and foreign dishes. Confidence in our culture encourages others to respect it too. Our local dishes can also be promoted by sharing pictures, recipes, and videos on platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, and WhatsApp to make them attractive and trendy.
Young citizens must learn from their parents and elders how to prepare local meals to keep the knowledge and cultural relevance alive. Local dishes can be modernised to appeal to younger generations and tourists.
Conclusion
We cannot afford to trade our heritage for foreign cuisines which are gaining grounds across the country at an alarming rate. We must disabuse our minds of the perception that anything foreign or imported is better than those locally made. Our health, economy, and identity are tied to the soil. It is time to stop apologising for our local flavours and start celebrating them. It is possible to embrace modernity without losing ourselves and our cultural identity. Let us make the Ghanaian kitchen the heart of our modern identity once again.
