Now you know why I NEVER watch the news. Does the above information affect my life? Yes if I pay attention to it. No if I FOCUS on what I desire in my life.

Okay so tell me I’m ignorant I simply have to know what’s going on to be informed and come across as an educated person that the tribe wants to do business with. Well I don’t belong to the tribe and they can do business amongst themselves thank you. Yeah I don’t even watch TV. Okay so that’s a lie. I do watch TV, but I choose very carefully. Non of that mindless sitcom, violent movies and the news. I stay focused on what I desire all the time and I find that if I watch trash I get trash! The power of what the mind exudes is still not quite analysed by the scientists yet. But it is now a fact that our thoughts send out waves just like the broadcast station. So it makes sense that what we watch affects us.

So are you going to fill your mind with more news that will get you no where?
Deforestation (my blues) is a terrible crime against the planet but the more I focus on getting rich I’m able to put my money where my mouth is and help organisations that I approove of. I’m in a position to give money which is what systems require to educate the public. But by just watching the news all I’ll see is more land laid bare, see more stories of the poor people and the animals that have no where to go. Those impressions make me sad and depressed and I don’t get to help the forest, the people or the animals. The only thing I’ve done is given the TV station another viewer. Another viewer means the TV station has another stastitic for the media buyers that place commercials. You get the drift now of how this works?

I’ll tell you something else one of my businesses is making movies. How’s that? Even more reason I should be watching the TV and the movies I’ve been told so I can see what my competition is up to! I don’t care for competition. The only thing I compete against is myself. I choose the producers I work with, I choose the kind of movie and commercials I desire to be involved with. And I’m doing just splendidly but if I watch all the negative stuff I’ll be led to believe that I must be happy to get any job, because the media and every body that pays attention to the media will tell you, work is hard to come by.

So what are you watching?

Are you sitting with your family infront of the TV watching senseless violent movies and stupid sitcoms that reinforce its okay to be stuck in a rut? Do you and yours talk about what you are watching? Is your child left to work everything out on his/her own? At least talk about what you are watching. The media is made up of hype and the news channels thrive on getting it delivered to the public as quickly as possible. Movies and commercials are thought up by other people’s minds - often only with profit in mind. Violent movies are top box revenue collectors. The more individuals that enjoy that kind of entertainment the more those kind of movies will be produced. And yes violent movies do perpertrate feelings of fear and anguish. Lets face it we get involved in the movies we watch. That’s what entertainment is about - letting go and getting engrossed.

In England a couple of years ago 2 boys aged 10 and 11 walked into a shop, abducted a 3 year old boy and tortured him to death. In the court case that followed it was revealed that they had watched “Chucky”. Chucky is one of those real dumb and violent movies about a doll with a murderous heart that comes to life. Now that goes to show the power of movies on young minds.

No surprise then that being in the health-related field, I’m drawn to shows like ER and House. I do love Medium too, though. ;>

And for your little ones, don’t forget about PBS. We purposely have never had cable, so the best my kids got was Sesame St., Barney, Magic School Bus, etc. Not sure what they have on these days, but I’m sure it’s better than Nick!

As bad as it sounds, I like to escape into television and books. Someone asked me the other day what I like to read and my response was heavy non-fiction and ditsy (romantic comedy) fiction. Same with TV. I like the extremes: Wayne Dyer on PBS and Sex and the City.

I also like shows that explore the nature of God. I really like Joan of Arcadia. My favorite episode was the one with the psychic while Joan is learning to play chess. The father is a cop and is really skeptical and antagonistic toward a psychic on a missing person case. Her brother, who’s into physics, says around the dinner table, what’s the difference between chess and psychics. In chess, you have to see the possible moves before they are played. It’s the same with psychics, they just see more moves than we do.

Of course you know what I think about television. But I do think that television is much worse for children, especially very young children, than it is for adults. And it sounds like your kids hardly watch any, which is really great.

Do be careful when you say that the medium of television is “not inherently bad.” It can be harmful — especially to small children — because of its unnatural radiation and other things, which you can read about on my site. (Look in the Site Index under “television”.)

Of course, if you want to write for television, then you’ve got to watch a lot of it.

I’m interested to hear that you find television “grounds” you. I do believe that it would turn off your connection to the outer planes! I guess for those of us who aspire to be mediums (media?) ourselves one day, and we want to avoid sugar, caffeine, and television — could you exercise or do something else physical?
