Comments on: How Much Do You Tube? To TV or Not to TV? http://www.screamsofconsciousness.com/do-you-tube-tv-or-not/ hear what's true...for you Fri, 27 Aug 2010 15:30:31 +0000 http://wordpress.org/ hourly 1 By: Cricket Lee http://www.screamsofconsciousness.com/do-you-tube-tv-or-not/comment-page-1/#comment-394 Cricket Lee Mon, 28 Sep 2009 15:56:54 +0000 http://www.screamsofconsciousness.com/?p=208#comment-394 Hi Peggy -- WOW, haven't seen you in years! Glad to see you are putting that extraordinary talent you have to good use! I haven't had a tv in about 20 years, and don't watch the news or read the newspaper. I must say that my life is peaceful, and that I seem to always get the info I need. Not to say I am never exposed to tv or politics, it is just that I can choose what I believe instead of having it spoon fed from someone else's negative sensationalism point of view. I read in "7 habits of highly successful people" not to concern yourself with anything outside your circle of influence. It does make life easier to do just that. Now, it is not to say that I don't work at contributing to the expansion of peace -- but in my own silent way. Morning and evening reading and meditation make my life work and I am not the same person I was even 10 years ago. We can truly create our own reality, but sometimes filtering the input and developing appropriate environment is key. Hi Peggy — WOW, haven’t seen you in years!

I went on a tv sabbatical a few years ago and never went back. I don't even read the papers. On the occassion I do, I find I've missed nothing. And what's important gets filtered to me anyway. More important than the time this frees up for me is the lack of toxic fear provoking hype in my life. Try it. It's great. It has freed up time for me to live in 2 - 3 countries per year, a regular meditation practice, lots of books, and a writing workshop next week in London, not to mention lots of one on one time with friends over a cup of coffee.

She seems further down the path but I have sworn off all major networks (except Fox...fair and balanced)and all newspapers. I can say that in direct proportion to my media diet my mind calms down and moves toward clarity and peace. Everyone has to edit life as they see fit but a "media diet experiment" might reveal some very important truths! Just as a detox diet cleans our bodies of sugar and toxins and leads to bodily health, a media diet may lead us to mental health in a crazy toxic world.
