Trying to get my family off watching television. Mission.. The most prolific intellectually advanced people I know are non-TV viewers. I have not watched television for years due to corrupting influence, not just content-wise, but also the medium itself.
It is also the medium of television as well which contributes to that, viz. flipping the mind into passive state/shutting off critical thinking faculties and the link with the higher faculties/God/astral plane whatever it is..
@Maria delos Angeles YOU Are WATCHING this Stuff or others on your Computer Screen. Is this any better? Makes this so much or even any difference ? You watch Movies not via your TV Set but on your LAPTOP -or don’t you?
Yes @Sven Christian Köhler, it does make a difference. The television is invasive and scatters the auric field..., it uses a different technology. I wonder why other people are not sensitive to the difference in the way I am and have been since my childhood, and have always suffered because of it. Curious. the laptop doesn't have that effect. having said that , I switch off the WiFi frequently when not using or when I want to pray because it can have some similar dampening effect on the astral plane.. @Victor t J. please do not conflate the content of the internet with medium of travel..
Stellt euch vor! – Meine Überraschung, als ich 2015 als Postulantin in ein Karmeliterkloster eintrat und erfuhr, dass die Menschen tatsächlich miteinander sprachen, sich aufeinander einstellten. Der ganze Mensch. Jetzt sind wir drei Screen Betties.
@Pazzo 2 This my friend is a pint! No actually it is a pager. We would subscribe to the pager service and our friends would page us their number and we would call it back! Worked well in the high rise office spaces where there were tens of thousands of phones! And on the streets when we were out, you could always stop by a payphone if the number was important! God bless you!
I have come to think of the television as a Portal bringing darkness and evil into people's homes and lives. When you try to tell them that they will be happier and feel better if they stop watching the News, they simply won't believe it. It's everyone's civic duty to watch the News, right?
Who-ho ho.., the news that in itself is something else altogether, given that most of it is fake and follows the narrative of the elites /prevailing current thing. I read or heard something about Goebbels setting the flicker rate on the TV for max hypnotic effect, and to use subliminal messaging to effect, will need to look into that side see what can dig up. If you have ever tried getting your family off this flicker box, it is addictive, that is quite a battle I do believe you will have on your hands. It has taken over most households. "Everybody watches TV, even the priest.."
Es kommt auch immer darauf an was man im Fernsehen schaut. Die Nachrichten oder Sender wie CNN sind sicher nicht zu empfehlen. Was mir auffällt seit 5-10 Jahren sind viele Krimiserien nicht mehr richtig ausgeleuchtet und mit Farbfiltern und Klangteppichen verhunzt. Es ist alles deprimierend und unsympathisch. Seelenlos, uninspiriert, langweilig. Das war früher nicht so. Die deutschen Fernsehkrimis TATORT, POLIZEIRUF 110, SOKO kann man mittlerweile fast nicht mehr ansehen. Die waren vor 10 -20 Jahren noch viel besser.
"And so it is with television. When you are watching, absorbing techno-guru, your mind may be in alpha, but it is certainly not “empty mind.” Images are pouring into it. Your mind is not quiet or calm or empty. It may be nearer to dead, or zombie-ized. It is occupied. No renewal can come from this condition. For renewal, the mind would have to be at rest, or once rested, it would have to be seeking new kinds of stimulation, new exercise. Television offers neither rest nor stimulation. Television inhibits your ability to think, but it does not lead to freedom of mind, relaxation or renewal. It leads to a more exhausted mind. You may have time out from prior obsessive thought patterns, but that’s as far as television goes. The mind is never empty, the mind is filled. What’s worse, it is filled with someone else’s obsessive thoughts and images. In this way, television serves to continue the same channeled mental processes from which one is seeking relief. The mind is as weary after watching as before. No invention or creation can result, only sleep, if you are lucky, as with the aftermath of alcohol and Valium." - Jerry Mander
