Tremendous effort has been expended to perfect television and make it cheap and widely available. Why?
We know that television modifies the brain waves, affecting mainly the beta waves, which are the energetic support of the brain's activities such as processes of thought, analysis and decision.
In the works of Emery and of Krugman, we find that once the TV set is on, the waves of the brain slow down until the alpha waves dominate the brain activity. The more the TV set stays on, the more the brain waves slow down (Jerry Mander, Four Arguments for the Elimination of the Television, NY, 1978).
Dr. Eric Peper and Dr. Thomas Mulholand came to the same conclusion. The left brain hemisphere is massively inhibited, thus reducing critical capacity ( i.e. a reasoned opinion on any matter especially involving a judgment of its value, truth, righteousness, beauty.) (Martin Large, Out of the Box, http://www.
Thus, television is a "super-tool" for "mind grafts" and social engineering.
ORWELL
In Orwell's "1984," a TV screen dominates the center of every home and public place. With the TV screen, the "all
seeing eye" of "Big Brother"controls thoughts and sentiments.
Television
is no longer a means of entertainment, but an ideological weapon, for the manipulation
of the consciousnesses. The citizens of this world created by "Big Brother",
spends most of his time with an omnipresent television. They go to
sleep with the television, wake up with the television, and the daily
life is programmed by "Big Brother". This is a form of totalitarian
governance, a form of intellectual dictatorship.
This is the consequence of the elimination of God from the daily life as spiritual essence and behavioral guide. A God inspired spirituality springs as the water springs from the underground, so from the depths of the spirituality springs the spiritual life of man, to nourish human society and keep it in touch with the natural order of things.
Once human society is
cut off from this source, it is on the road to corruption, decadence
and unavoidable death. Here is where "THEY" want to bring us and
our children.
For what purpose? They believe they are "the Messiah"
and they can replace God and take total possession of the whole earth
and everything it contains. This pretension can be generated only by a
sick corrupted and degenerated mind. They pretend even, as Nietzsche,
one of their front men, pretended "Gott is tot" - God is dead.
GOD LIVES
Yes, indeed, God is dead in their spirits. But God is an indestructible spiritual force which fills the whole Universe. He represents the universal laws that a healthy spirit sees everywhere around us, in the macrocosm and the microcosm, with all the wonders and marvels, including the marvel of life.
For a social healthy life, there is just one solution: keep in touch with the Divinity in you, with God almighty, and let the fools deceive themselves until their total destruction. Their Craft is just madness in the eyes of God, and their fate is the fate of Sodom.
Stay away from their poisons,
from their false prophets and ideologies, and teach your family
the truth. Protect them from their paranoia
and their fatal fate. (As a matter of fact, Nietzsche ended his life in
total mental alienation while he was only 55-years-old).
Go and work
for a healthy world, starting with your own spiritual, moral, and physical
health. Don't be passive, but active, just as Jesus was all his life.
A good example is when he turned over the tables of the money changers in the Temple, and chased them out with a whip. Don't just wait for "miracles" and Divine intervention, or the intervention of someone else to make this world a better place. Change the world in a positive way using your own life as example.
Stay wise!
And don't forget - "In
the beginning was the Word", then, spread the Word!

Dan said (March 22, 2010):
I pretty much agree with everything that the author is stating here. Rather than touch upon the theological aspects of the piece let me just say, Amen. So far as television…I was having lunch with a colleague one day and he was a nice and amiable guy, just pleasant to enjoy a hour of General Tso chicken with and we got to talking about our upbringing when he told me that his parents never let him watch anything on tv that was produced after the 1950’s when he was growing up. I was just stunned and I thought about this for a very long time and came to realize that he must be seeing and interacting with the world in a very different way than the rest of us.
Then I had an epiphany. I hated contemporary television. It wasn’t entertaining. It wasn’t enjoyable. It made me very nervous all the time. I would often come away from the experience as if I had stuck my head in a bag of rats for a few hours. So I began to hit upon the idea that since there were dvd’s and that they lasted a long time, perhaps I should start to acquire them. And I did. Mostly tv shows and movies from the mid 1980’s and back. Little by little I weaned myself and my family off of broadcast and onto our own programming of choice. At first the changes were subtle but then after a few months it became apparent that my nervous system was calming down, my outlook on things was improving and my playfulness was coming back. And as an added bonus we started to remember things and have conversations again rather than just staring aghast at the barrage of dark, negative imagery punctuated by grotesquely ill fitted cheerful commercials. What I had managed to capture on so many silvery discs was pre-tech America, the America we all still loved and wanted to get back to though with little or no hope of ever doing so.
From time to time I get sucked back into the negativity of televised entertainment and always am I worse for wear. But then I remember, hey, you don’t have to do this to yourself and I have something in stock to fall back on. Probably the most intelligent purchases I have ever made. So while I miss America, I don’t have to miss those old shows that were such an important part of our lives, because Je me souviens!
