Some people worry about the suffering of poor people and people in concentration camps etc. I worry about people suffering without them even knowing why and just accepting it as part of life. Like someone who is acting on hypnosis banging his head against the wall. I don't believe in giving up joy for a better life. I believe in giving up external control for more joy and personal authentic power in life.

TV to me has its joys neatly wrapped up in a package that controls people's thinking. It is also very addictive At some point in my life I realized that my growth is being stunted by something on television and yet to this day I cannot tell you what it is in a sweep. I would have to point out all the little things.

First it becomes a way to remove imagination. The first step to enable creative visualization is to enhance your abilities to imagine. Einstein went as far as to say that your intelligence can be measured by your ability to imagine. When you watch it on a screen then you won't read the book and won't even buy the cd they control what you will see. This is not good or bad this just is.

Every stage director has a message or his personal interpretation of something that he is now going to show you. Then it becomes a way to remove creative time. We don't mend clothes anymore we buy new ones. Gardening? We buy at the local bigmouth supermarket chain, why do a garden? Who has time for those things?

How can I tend a garden when I will miss my favourite soap opera (With all the rest squeezed in between to make us believe that there is no other way to live in our world) And in between they tell me to eat healthy off the shelves at the supermarket etc so why fresh veggies? No I can buy my veggies six days old and neatly packed and controlled by someone else at a price. I just gave up my personal power over healthy eating.

Now that all creative time and all creative imagination is removed now they can start to impose thoughts. Anything they wish you to believe if they tell you that long enough you will. Even if you don't watch television they control so many minds who do, that you will have a heck of a time to convince anyone otherwise. I am a free thinker and I create my personal reality in freedom. I don't watch television tv so I have no illusions that mainstream media wants me to believe. I am internally referenced and make my decisions based on the logic of the moment.

We have to be self-referenced. I see so many people who think
