When you watch TV your brain waves are being changed. You are being put into a semi suggestive state due to flicker rates. This isn’t conspiracy theory this is simply the affect of the flicker rates on your TV. However, being a former businessman I can see how this would be great for advertising. Get you into a suggestible state and then tell you how great my product is.

So why does a Reverend of an obscure church like mine care whether or not you are watching TV? Because I care about you, you are a fellow human being that is being used and kept from real knowledge. In my religious and spiritual studies I have found that the most important thing each of us needs is knowledge. Knowledge isn’t gained in school, we are not taught how to be human in school or what is really important.

Years ago, I wanted to be a writer, however, I was told that I was a poor English student and couldn’t be a writer by an English teacher of mine. I don’t blame her, it isn’t her fault entirely. She was trained to view English as the end all of writing. It isn’t, I now have two books written and I’m on the verge of self publishing one. It took over 30 years before I was aware that others opinions didn’t matter, that practice and self gained knowledge were far more important then what I learned in school. I was a slave to other people’s opinions.

So how does TV come into this? Simple, people are put into a continual trance state by watching TV. If you are in this suggestible state when people make these kinds of comments we are not cognitively aware of our selves enough to look past that kind of comment. This is caused by laziness and lack of knowledge both physical and spiritually.

Search on line for TV and suggestible states. Or TV and society in a trance. Any variation of this type of search for TV and Trance states will bring up many sites and scientist trying to tell people about this issue. Main stream media is using TV to keep you thinking their way via news, shows and advertisers and has no reason for wanting you to know this information otherwise you may become wise to them and their control over you. They are using this information to keep you a submissive good little consumer.

TV’s linked to Alzheimer’s, TV’s affect on the developing brain, are another couple of issues you can do a TV search on. This is to just point out how little real information we are getting. The internet should have been a tool to expand human consciousness and knowledge but it hasn’t, it has become another tool of deception and manipulation. It isn’t until you start to dig deeper into it that you can find the important information that affects your life. Stop using the internet to spread gossip and live out some unreal social life. Start exchanging knowledge and using the internet to inform and grow people beyond this trance state they are existing in.

When I started to find these articles on TV I begin to realize there was something wrong with me. I have always been a knowledge hound. I would read books on Religion, Spirituality, Physics, Quantum Physics and most of what I was watching was on the educational channels but I found I was not reading as much. I was becoming dependent on the TV for information. Why? Why would I have such a materially different way of obtaining information when I loved to read and study before? Because my brain was being changed on numerous levels, I was put into a suggestible state of compliance. Whether or not this was on purpose or not, I don’t care, I don’t want to be there and neither should you. Because of these articles I wanted change, I showed them to my wife and we made the decision to shut it off and see what happened. We dropped cable in favor of an on demand movie and TV show system. Most people will know what this system is but I’m not going to promote them in this as you still need the TV to watch them, but you can use the computer also but watch it on the internet.

So how did I break free from my societal slavery or at least the part the TV was involved with? Well we did exactly what I mentioned I eliminated the TV from my life. In that time which is less then a year, I have read three books and wrote a book. Think about that, what would you rather do? Plant yourself in front of the hypnotist’s box to be programmed and only have the information they give you or would you rather seek out some real useful knowledge? I have learned so much about what is going on around me in the last year it is amazing.

I want to point out it wasn’t easy, but if you like a challenge you can easily break your addiction to TV. When you wake up you will realize what you have been missing and how adversely the TV has been affecting you. It takes about 6 to 8 weeks and you must exam the changes to realize them fully. Just sulking because you don’t have TV will not help, it will feed that addiction and you will want to go back. Take that time and use it wisely and I would bet you will not go back, I know we haven’t.

Here is a list of changes in my life since breaking my addition to TV.

Realized how many lies and deceptions were being fed to me through the TV.

Realized how many products I was buying with out thinking and how my view of brand names has changed.

Had my greatest spiritual awakening since my early twenties, I was in the Navy and didn’t watch much TV at my last awakening either.

I learned about how much poison was in my food and water that led to my new diet that lead to my no longer needing, diabetes medicine, blood pressure medicine and anxiety medicine. Though watching TV wasn’t causing this it was the lack of knowledge of my body and food intake that was. So my time wasted watching TV was robbing me of time to research my life.

I realized my manhood was taken away from me and replaced by a false picture of what manhood is. I was rapped up in sports and knowing everything about it and cheering for teams. Now, I can’t believe I wasted so much time on these unimportant games. They are games, while I enjoy watching one once and a while; I am no longer moved or driven to states of euphoria by them, they do not get my testosterone going because they are unimportant to my family’s welfare. I realize that my real job is protecting my family from the influences I wasn’t even aware of before. What gets me going now is finding out how the corporate elite, government and others have negatively affected my life. They have poisoned my children, wife and me. Now I spend my time involved with my church, my writing and being as proactive for societal change as I can.

The news media is bought and paid for, once you break free and start to really research topics that are close to you, you will begin to see the truth about what is being fed to you about the world. Everything has come into one fold of greed and selfishness and knowledge has made me more powerful.

TV has been turned into the tool of the snake poison salesman. They treat you as if you are stupid but your not. You are only ignorant of many of the facts you are not accessing and you do not have to be. Just stop wasting your time on TV and unimportant social status issues.

I sat down and figured out the TV was on in my house almost 100 hours a week. I also had my butt planted in front of it almost 50 hours a week. I didn’t even realize it until after I broke free from it. I realized how much time I had lost in my life to nothing, I gained very little from this and 20% of that time was spent absorbing advertisements. I walked around in a semi zombie state accepting things that should not be accepted. I now might have the TV on 4 to 8 hours a week at best. My house is a quite place where I can meditate and study to learn more about myself and the world I live in.

We should not accept our water being poisoned by fluoride and other toxins. We should not accept the lies being told about global warming. We should not be accepting advertisements that push us to eat foods that are unhealthy and cancer causing and mind numbing. We should not be accepting lies from politicians as normal and acceptable behavior. We should not be accepting violence being a means of fixing problems as taught to us and our children in TV shows. We should not accept ridiculous reality TV shows as reality. We should not accept the utter subversion of information as something normal.

We should be growing spiritually and using technology to better our planet but the TV isn’t allowing you to have all the information you need to grow. You must seek knowledge from other sources and examine it with your own intuitions and listen to them. We should be asking questions and demanding truth. We must shed the misused TV and move on to higher causes of spiritual and social reform as they go hand in hand. We must find the pleasure of knowledge and embrace it as it is far more rewarding to have knowledge and do things that enact positive change then to be a tool for corporate interest.

Amen Rev!

I too had to rid myself of the TV habit as well. I am guilty as anyone! I was an information and news junkie, until I gave it all up about 2 years ago. All that the so-called news was doing, was keeping me upset, keeping me in a state of perpetual irritation, and ruining my spiritual as well as my physical health. I turned off the news and haven't turned it on since. If I want information on something specifically, I will search for it online. My TV watching is limited to occasionally watching something interesting on History, or Nat.Geo, and that is only when I am burnt out on reading or writing. You are very right, TV has very little to offer, aside from the continued dumbing down of America as well as the world. On the air idiocy is at an epidemic proportion; just turn on any reality show! We are at a crossroads, the answer to our society's ills certainly can't be found on the nightly news, or Keeping up with the Kardashians! I encourage everyone to turn off the TV, pick up a book, read a worthwhile article online, be discriminating about what one feeds the mind. There is also meditation, music that stimulates a higher level of thought, as well as pathways to assist or help our fellow man. Almost anything is better than just being a TV vegetable. I speak from experience, I was that vegetable! I am still guilty of occasional channel surfing, but now I read to see if the content of the program is worthwhile before choosing to watch it. It just boils down to a bit of self discipline, along with a true desire to change.

I too have changed my eating habits, as you mentioned that you did for yourself. However, I still suffer from diabetes and high blood pressure. I would love to hear your input as to how you overcame these physical obstacles. That is the beauty of these forums; to realize that we can never know all, and that there are pathways to something different. Great blog; Rev!

It's a two edges sword

It's a two edges sword it provides useful information and at the same time creates "group think" (actually I think some of that is floating around here somewhere. :) ) or as you have suggested possible abuses yet, anything that blocks information, including opinions will continue to enslave men as well. Censorship in the broadest sense is an old trick of the church I might add. I'm not so sure brain washing is the pathway to clarity of mind. I'm sure some would disagree. Are your points valid? Yes, they are. It's about balance and to maintain it one needs to use ones brain by avoiding over indulgences and use ones common sense.

With the advent of the internet the problem has lessened over years ago when the populous had few choices. My guess is you have problems with the internet as well.

No Problem

I don't have a problem per say with the internet, I think it's the greatest tool we have. I just think that people are not using it to it's potential. They are engaging in self serving socialization on worthless levels. It's great in one way and holding us back in another. Again it is up to the individual to decide how to do it. I also have the same issue with the church's and science as they both are still wrapped tightly in useless dogma rather then trying to enlighten the people. Hence I started my own dogma free church. I might be a christian but I have the ability to accept everyone else has views even if I don't fully agree with them. I try to find the common grounds that we all share and in my studies and there are many.

The information is there we just have to go find it ourselves. I live by a simple idea, if someone tells me someone is wrong or right, I do my own research and make my own decision, I encourage everyone to do this. If the church calls a text blasphemous or evil that's the first I will read. If you don't know what is in the text you can comment or react to it properly. Accepting on face value another persons opinion is dangerous. I always encourage people to do their own research as their perspectives of my ideas may not be the same as mine. That's okay because I would bet we can find mutual common ground in doing positive work when we have the same goals even when our idea's differ. It is the common ground we must focus on not the differences.

More about the swords double edge

Television has one strength it is perhaps loosing, to bind people together as a group with common ideas and beliefs. This is also its weakness as it homogenizes the group into "group think" while discouraging individuality. The net on the other hand provides unlimited options for individuality and breaks the group down into factions. Factions could become threatening to the larger group over time as ideas and unity become more fragmented. Again, balance will be needed.

I feel group think can be a

I feel group think can be a good thing in changing the world as long as people remain independent thinkers and know what goals they are trying to achieve are and why, and they are aware of the groups intentions. Right now it seems their goals are being set for them and the group is just being kept ignorant of the facts so the very few can benefit. Bascially it's greatest streantgh is its most abused aspect. Too bad really, it could had been used to spread knowledge. Maybe we can get it back to that some day.

Thanks,

I decided to go on the Gerson Diet. I bought the book, I completely switched my diet. I did the first two weeks of the Therapy portion then went to the diet. The first part of therapy involves a lot of detoxing, it was a bit unusual but I decided to try it as I was so against taking the chemicals they wanted me to. I still have to watch my carbs but not nearly as much. I'm not saying everyone can get off the diabetes meds but hay its worth a shot, defiantly wont hurt to try it.

Thank you for your comments and best of luck in trying a new diet. :-)

Gerson Diet

After you informed me of the diet plan you were on, I did some research on the Gerson diet, sounds interesting an do-able, aside from the coffee enemas. I don't quite think I'm up to that. One of the books I saw on their list was by Charlotte Gerson: "Defeating Obesity, Diabetes and High Blood Pressure". Is this the one that you bought and recommend? They do have quite a list of books on their website.

With my time in the

I have the Gerson Theropy that book is basically the diet but I would bite the bullet and do it all. I can't attest to how it would work with out all aspects.

With my time in the Militatary I did 2 weeks of the full theropy, I felt amazing after just a few days. Ya the enema thing isn't real appealing but I can tell you it removes the toxins lol so it works. If you do it, you will understand after 3 or 4 times what it's flushing out of you. Its seriuosly noticiable or at least it was for me.
