TV, Alpha and Beta thinking and Suggestible States of Mind

I want to talk to you about your TV. In this post I'm going to post links to the sites that show you what I'm talking about. Scientific studies that show you how you are programmed to accept a point of view or truth that is not your own and why you must abandon your TV as a regular form of entertainment and information to open your mind and become more aware.
When you are awake and functioning about your daily lives your brain is operating in the Beta Wavelengths. Alpha and Delta wavelengths are states the brain is in when you are sleeping. Anyone who studies hypnotism knows that these are suggestible states and is how a hypnotist can implant suggestions using these states of mind. These states of mind are relaxing and naturally occur while sleeping.
Now here is the problem with your TV, there is something called a flicker rate. This is similar in a way to watching the hypnotic video's on the internet of spinning spirals and so on just not as obvious. These flicker rates are dictated at the TV stations you are watching and can be changed. These changes have caused people to have convulsions. This is a drastic side affect of the flicker rates but it does happen.
Now while your brain is in this partial slumber whilst watching TV you have advertisements, news and political messages in programming being sent to you constantly. The longer you watch the more susceptible you are to their suggestions. This brings me to subliminal suggestions, ones that are hidden in the show or commercial that your subconsciousness picks up on. These messages are stored and evaluated by your sub-conscious. Many times once they are exposed it is amazing how you didn't notice them the first time. This is because you were in an altered state of mind rather then fully aware.
What could have been the greatest tool ever in learning and information has been perverted into a tool of subversion. This is typically human in nature and by being aware of it I guarantee it will change your life. I had never even heard of this until after I stopped watching TV, dropped cable and began to get all my news from the internet.
I first stopped watching TV regularly when I was laid off about a year and a half ago. Now the church I founded and spreading awareness are my goals in life. I had always wanted to found my own church on my beliefs but always thought it was a fruitless pursuit and spent my life as a business manager. Looking back what a waste of valuable time. But I too was programmed like most in this country. I found that my lack of TV was allowing me to think outside the BOX and believe in myself. My frustration and anger levels subsided and life became much more pleasant. I was in for a rude awakening in the very near future as the truth began to outweigh the lies.
I will give you a perfect example of the completely different view only a few months after we dropped cable and picked up books and started getting news on line from numerous sources.
I went on a trip, not having seen a TV show in months I think it was close to 6 months to my in-laws home. They are not huge TV watchers in comparison to most but I noticed something profound that lead me to start looking into the affects of TV. While I was there my wife wanted to explain our new venture into rock hounding and making jewelry for the church. Only two of the family were interested, one of her brothers and her mother both rarely ever watch TV. While we sat there going over the gems, crystals and stones we had found I was watching her father, who is an intelligent man and history teacher. I also paid attention to what he was watching it was NCIS. While he watched the show I realized he was in an almost trance like state. I not only saw it but I could feel it in the room. The show was some marathon and every topic seemed packed with fear messages about domestic terrorist. A clear political message was being sent. It was anti freedom and pro domestic terrorist based. In hind site I now see that in this Alpha wave state of mind he was being manipulated.
Now I can not stress this point enough, this man is a history teacher, has no less then 100 books on WWI WWII and Vietnam and hes a Vietnam Veteran. He is well versed in how tyrants can and do take control of a government. He also has many books on the founding of our country. This man should be more aware then anyone else I know. However, that night when I brought up my concerns with the path of our government he looked at me like I had three eyes. He instead of asking what I had seen which is what I expected from such an educated man he asked why I would think that?
I also noticed that every-time my wife's other brother came down stairs he would get stopped in front of the TV and stand there watching. It was the middle of the show or in commercial but he was halted by the TV like a zombie. He would move on but the amount of time he was captured for was amazing. Sometimes 3 or 4 minutes. I know that does not seem like much but in context he was coming down to see his sister, get a drink or food what ever but that TV halted him in his tracts.
The last instance I want to mention is I had my best friend over recently we hadn't seen each other in months. I wanted to talk, catch up and see how he was feeling about things. However, he is unemployed right now and either i didn't notice before or it is more pronounced now but the TV had him also. He could not sit in the room with me and just talk. He immediately went for the remote and on to the instant movies I have. After he left both my wife and I had a conversation about, how out of it he was when watching the TV. He was completely encapsulated by it. Not only that but if we left the room he would ask us to hurry back a good part was coming up. Trying to draw us in with him.
So if we look at our own actions which is hard to do, we find that we are also doing the examples of the stories I have told.
We don't leave our TV on in the background either and find that we are much more motivated and able to function and think clearer and see the reality that is around us.
So in conclusion I make these recommendations, Do not turn your TV on first thing when you get home. Realize that you are addicted to the Alpha wave state of relaxation it creates. Our society is being programmed by other people for political, social and corporate agenda's. If you think this is not true then test my theory and prove me wrong. Don't watch your TV for 3 months and then compare. If you deny you are addicted that is the first sign of an addict.
Thank you for your time I hope I have helped you.

The Evolved Self-Management System
Nicholas Humphrey [12.5.11]
" If placebo medicine can induce people to release hidden healing resources, are there other ways in which the cultural environment can "give permission" to people to come out of their shells and to do things they wouldn't have done in the past? Can cultural signals encourage people to reveal sides of their personality or faculties that they wouldn't have dared to reveal in the past? Or for that matter can culture block them? There's good reason to think this is in fact our history."
