Here is an interview With Da Vid, MD , artist, and Founder Of The Love & Light Party, excerpted from conversations with PhenomeNEWS and OPEN EXCHANGE.

The Love & Light Party is a synthesis of the Democratic, Republican, Libertarian, and Green parties, a wholistic, proactive, educational, empowerment party dedicated to health, peace and freedom for all.... We have formulated a practical, Synergistic 7-Point Program which addresses and serves to successfully resolve our current socio- economic and ecological challenges.

Tell us a little about how the idea for The Light Party came to manifest for you.

Da Vid: As a naturopath and an essene physician I was aware that the basis of health is a more conscious lifestyle encompassing dietary change, exercise, and attitude. I began to realize that most of the problems we have in the world are rooted in fear/ignorance and our inability to handle stress. And I realized that what I was talking about on an individual level needed to be expanded to a political and, ultimately to a global level; hence the Light Party. Our primary focus is on PROJECT HEALTH: The Strength Of Our Nation Is Directly Proportional To The Health Of Our People And The Health Of Our Soil. It is my belief rooted in necessity that as the business of America becomes the business of health for our people and eco-systems, we shall become a peaceful nation of strong, vital, socially conscious and creative individuals... Through wholistic healthcare practices, ECO-agriculture, the labeling of genetically engineered Foods see: www.organicconsumers.org) and the implementation of a comprehensive single-payer wholistic health insurance program for all, we will manifest our inherent birthright for ourselves and all evolving life here on planet Earth. Freedom From Dis-ease!...

Health is a big topic of discussion these days. Let's talk about that one.

Da Vid: We are responsible for our health and the health of all our planetary Eco-system. The foundation for biological health is rooted in clean water, organic foods and clean air. We are becoming quite aware that via the systemic poisoning of our eco-systems we are threatening the very foundation of biological life here on earth. The vital importance of weaning ourselves on our dependence on fossils fuels cannot be overstated, hence our call for action: PROJECT LIGHT: We support the conscious use of technology in creating A Sustainable Global Solar Hydrogen/Hemp Based Economy. It is my understanding that the Earth Herself has already ascended and we are here to align with her and become conscious stewards.

How do we deal with despair and depression?

Da Vid: Being depressed only adds to the collective negativity. Start building your bunker under your house (laughs!) You've got to realize it's all part of a process, maintain your sense of reason, your mental and emotional health. Get out, walk breathe, and recommitting spiritually to the good. Releasing anger and hatred to Bush and company. In spite of appearances, there's an evolutionary process towards liberation, creativity, and freedom. Consciousness is infinite! The universe is ready, willing and able to deliver. We have to be resolute. Forgiveness, compassion and commitment.
