Television is popular all over the world and there is no place
in these worlds that don’t know what a television is. Television has its advantages
and disadvantages and sometimes it’s difficult to decide whether to watch a
program or not. In this world, television is the main source of information. Everyday
people watch the news to stay informed during the day. Television also
entertains us. It allows us to sit back
and relax. Television is also a form of advertisement through commercials that
are aired during broadcastings and live coverage. On the other side of the coin television can
be harmful to us in many ways. It can affect our health and our minds. Television can also have a negative effect on
our children.
Television makes people physically inactive and can also
contribute to weight issues. It contributes
to procrastination and leaving things and tasks undone. It’s time for us to
break the habit of watching extensive television and start reading and doing
other productive things in our lives.
The 'average' person watches television news and current
affairs, listens to news broadcasts and actually believes many of the things we
hear. We spend a significant amount of time debating issues with friends or
other people, about the particular issue in question. Our emotions are controlled by whatever news
story the media decide that they will release to us that day. We hold a huge amount of opinions and views about
these issues, and spend a significant
amount of our time explaining and
defending these
views. This, despite the fact we might not often have any knowledge at
all about these topics, and is merely repeating 'information ' released by the
media. Furthermore our beliefs become confused and self-contradictory; we would
be unable to defend them in any rational argument. We watch televised debates
about a certain topic or issue, and actually
take one side or the other! -
Even becoming angry when the others oppose our views.
We
should also be aware that the most effective prisons are made of beliefs and not
actual prison bars. The most effective mind-control tool on the planet
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 viewer’s belief system to match that of the program's
producers. The vast majority of the programs that enter into your home
are garbage that pollutes viewers' minds.
Television is a phenomenal tool for mind control
because it significantly influences and often dominates the mind of the viewer.
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. Viewers see dramatic depictions of all kinds
of things they would never consciously and intentionally welcome into their
personal lives. Viewers hear and see thousand s of brief messages intentionally
designed to influence their thoughts, beliefs, attitudes, and expectations, and
to change their behavior. These words, sounds, pictures, and dramatic
representations often generate strong feelings .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: 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. 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?
.
I 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!
