Be Mass Media Free
The greatest factor that determines your future is the kind of information you consume. What are your major sources of information? Is it TV, radio, newspapers or “news” websites? If yes then your future sits in prison and won’t be released until you quit completely those restrains. I did it over a decade ago. Yes a decade! When I was a kid I used to watch TV a lot, like many other youngsters each day after school was filled with several hours of sitting in front of the box, obviously even while eating. School homework wasn’t a priority. My father didn’t like it, he kept limiting my time spent in front of the screen because he was able to see that most of the program was just to grab attention and only occasionally there was something worthy, I didn’t see a problem in it at all. For mom it was not easy to get me away from the screen to do the chores. I was very resistant until my father went to a hospital for a while. When there was nobody to limit me I reevaluated what I’ve got so far from those countless hours, and realized how many of the content is totally unrelated and temporary. From then I loosed much of the interest in any mass media and it dropped from there in a few years to zero. I channeled my time into education and my grades went up. It was good for that time but it wasn’t the most effective way to grow mentally. I didn’t know about accelerated learning techniques or personal development and I didn’t have a computer not to say about internet access at that time. Non the less cutting down mass media was a great decision. I am happy and there is nothing to miss when I am free to explore sources of information with a choice of finding easily large amounts of great content. Currently the best such source is Internet and it will be for the next few decades. Internet is in fact a collective medium where you can find everything else and it is being enriched constantly. Surely there are traps and most of it’s content is not the best possible choice but it gives a vast, nearly unlimited field for finding and exchanging information. The distance between your brain and the information you seek is measured in seconds, it is mainly determined by what you type in the search engine. Use Wikipedia and clean search engine like Google.
Other than internet sources where you can easily select valuable content (like self-help etc) are paper books, audio books, live workshops, seminars, direct contact with wise people. However the most advanced source is connecting to your “higher self” or to your spirit guides. This and other solutions would become available to us if we free ourselves from lower forms of media which for many people today seem valid. That is illusion only created by false associations. A TV screen became a symbol of technology many decades ago, it was ok up to the seventies and eighties of the last century but today it is a disaster for human awareness. Most people however still have this association created years ago. What associations do you have with television? How it feels like when you say the word “television”? (…) this is not a suitable name for a medium with such drastically narrowed and misinterpreted view because it sounds like Glory Hallelujah. TV should stand for Trash Victimization, Terrible Void or Truth Violation. Now imagine someone saying “I watch Trash Victimization for 3 hours daily” – it doesn’t sound appealing. If you say “…but I like it” then you are most likely addicted to it, a person with a healthy personality wouldn’t even watch it for 5 seconds. There is a great article by Steve Pavlina about overcoming news addiction. Go for a 30 day trial without mass media, ideally remove TV from your house, cover it or turn it face back if you are in a hotel room. Replace radio with clean music and audio books. If you want to replace newspapers with something great then there is a tool called a feed reader – it automatically collects articles from blogs of your choice into one place, one of those readers is google reader. Subscribe to blogs that you trust to have a good value for your time and that will guarantee expansion of your consciousness. This blog – weoverstep.com is designed to do that

The future of the human kind is largely determined by the content that each person is exposed to. You have a choice to change your individual focus which has an effect on the total focus of humanity. Currently the best source of information is Internet and it will probably be for the decades ahead. It is hard to imagine the future of internet, If evolution will go slowly it will serve us for centuries. If we will have a breakthrough in technology it will mutate into another monster, or it will be replaced by something more intricate. Perhaps soon we evolve enough to connect consciously to so called “oversoul” or “collective consciousness” – we are plugged into it all the time but we are not able to pull information from it on demand. I also wonder about intergalactic internet and exchanging information with other races, but I think I am going too far. In this article I talked about something else. If you want a quick summary of this article then it is here: be free of detrimental mass media that are not worthy of any focus and replace them with media that give you an easy access to the best available and nourishing content that you can get now to attain higher level of consciousness for yourself and humanity.
