The game of life plays you until you learn to play the game

Television and Mind Control

Do you see the negative experiences in your life from the position of a victim?    Upon experiencing pain, do you wallow is self pity and cling to a perception of yourself as a victim of all those demons lurking out in the world just waiting for the opportunity to make your life miserable.   Do you blame "the Devil" for your plight?

When an outside event affects you and your life, do you ask:  "How did I participate in the creation of this event?   Was the possibility of this event occurring in my life in my thoughts, my beliefs, my words, my actions, and my expectations?   How many times did I listen to stories of others about events similar to mine?  In what ways did I physically set myself up for this experience?   How could I have avoided this pain?   What's the message for me here?   What's the Buddha gift°  in my present situation?  

How can I best apply  The Three Universal Laws  to my life right now, today?   What’s the wisest, most-intelligent, healthiest, most-profitable, most-freedom-creating, and most-joy-producing decision I can make right now?

TV-Mind Control:  

You should also be aware that the most effective prisons are made of beliefs and and not stone or steel.    The most effective mind-control tool on the planet today is television.   The programs that come into millions home through that medium significantly influence the viewer's minds and in all too many cases, change the viewers belief system to match that of the program's producers.  The vast majority of the programs that are beamed into your home are garbage that pollute viewers' minds.  

Why Avoid Most Television Programs?   Because their  primary focus is on misfits and criminals who's  lives are focused on death and destruction.   What percentage of the present day TV programs are about one of more of the following:  1) crime,  2) police, 3)  courts,  4) lawyers,  5) drugs,  6)  wars,  7)  mass murders,  8)  racial bigotry,  9) religious bigotry,  10) interracial violence,   10)  inter-religious violence,  11) anti-gay bigotry, 12) ethnic cleansing 13) Exposé's of histories most heinous criminals,  14) news or documentary programs about disasters, crimes, and the like, and/or 15) fantasy characters fighting evil villains?

How much of that do you want to experience in your personal life?   None! Nada! Zero! Zippo!   Then  that's the  number of these programs you should be watching.    

You've probably heard "consciousness gurus" tell you not to watch television.   Here's why they say that.   Television is a phenomenal tool for mind control because it significantly influences and often dominates the mind of the viewer.

Words:   Viewers listen to the thoughts, beliefs and verbal expressions of those whose voices are broadcast over television;  

Sounds:   Viewers hear sounds depicting actual sounds heard in the external world;  

Pictures:   Viewers see visual images and scenes from the real external world;  

True stories:   Viewers hear and see news stories and in-depth reports about actual events -- events the likes of which they would never consciously and intentionally welcome into their personal lives;

Dramatic Representations:  Viewers see dramatic depictions of all kinds of things they would never consciously and intentionally welcome into their personal lives.

Commercials:   Viewers hear and see thousand s of brief messages intentionally designed to influence their thoughts, beliefs, attitudes, and expectations, and to change their behavior.

Feelings:   These words, sounds, pictures, and dramatic representations often generate strong feeling (internal emotions).   This combination of words, sounds, pictures, and the high emotion they generate strongly influence the viewers.  

Those who control the television content can control your thoughts, your beliefs, your attitudes, and your expectations.   Are you a function of television-generated mind?   Here are a few basic questions to ask:

The Whole Truth:   Is what you view via television "The Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing but the Truth?"   Since conveying the whole truth of an event via symbolic representations in words sounds and pictures is impossible, it can never be the whole truth.  

The Message sender:   Who is sending the message?   What is the basic philosophy of the message sender?   What are their long-term goals and intentions?   Is the message sender speaking for him/herself or representing a third party such as a corporation, a religious group, or political party.  

Is the Truth Being Distorted?   What is the in-the-moment intention of the message sender?   Is it information, or misinformation?   Is the message sender attempting to distract the viewers attention away from something else?  Is it biased to make any particular belief or behavior look and sound good or bad?   Is there a hidden agenda behind the message?   Is the message sender attempting to inform the viewer or is his/her intention to manipulate and influence the viewer?   If the subject is a controversial issue, what does each side have to win or loose? 

TV- Turn it OFF   Turn it OFF  

We recommend that you turn the TV off unless there is something specific you choose to watch, like a baseball game, an music concert, a special event, etc.   If you are watching programs about crime, police, courts, hospitals, car crashes, and the like, YOU ARE NEGATIVELY INFLUENCING YOUR MIND AND FOCUSING YOUR  UNIVERSAL CREATIVE ENERGY ONTO THINGS YOU DON'T WANT IN YOUR LIFE!
