Watch What You Watch

Watch What You Watch

Just today I had the occasion to share some of the information and data regarding the influence on beliefs and behavior patterns that arises as a result of the media. The fact is, the information game of the day, today and everyday, is to sell you something, to gain some advantage, to plant something in your mind and so forth. When asked today, “I take it that you see yourself on some mission informing the masses of this brainwashing,” my answer was a passionate, “Yes!”

Those of you who have read my books know that billions and billions of dollars have been spent learning how to control your every choice—even what choices to give you to choose between. Very sophisticated means are employed for this purpose including such things as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) scans to view exactly what goes on and in what area of the brain when a stimulus is presented. These mind plumbers are intent on plumbing the deepest regions of the subconscious where the evidence suggests all choice originates. Said another way, this means that programming your subconscious gives rise to the personal illusion of choice—you only think you’re doing the choosing when in fact, as bizarre as it may sound, your subconscious has already done that for you.

The bottom line for those pragmatists like myself that are among us goes like this. The information you put into your mind registers somewhere in the unconscious and may at some point predispose your action, thoughts and behavior—and this is just fact! Our children see commercials, some full of sexual content as is the case with the new green M & Ms commercial, and we must ask, what are we suggesting to our children? We watch a commercial that suggests doom and gloom unless we buy gold, what are we programming? The family views a commercial suggesting flu season and illness and what do you think goes into that old mind program? I can’t prove it definitively, but I am aware of a case where a 6-year-old boy who was absolutely fascinated by technology watched a television show about a young man with asthma. The boy in the show had a hand held inhaler and within a couple of days the child owned the asthma symptoms and he got his inhaler. He outgrew the condition within a couple of years but the onset and the show were just too closely linked for this connection to go unnoticed.

Pay attention to the message. Whether it is for self or others, watch what you’re watching! Ask yourself, what does this suggest? Is this a suggestion I want? Know this, the typical person goes into the same brain wave state (alpha) that is associated with hypnosis in under three minutes when watching television. How would you like to go to your local hypnotherapist and have them suggest the same things to you that you are watching on television?

Thanks for the read,
