tv and the law of attraction………..
The law of attraction tells us that what we attract to our life what we give our attention to. So we put our attention and efforts toward that which is good for us and not toward that which is not good…….
So is watching 3-4 hours of television every night good or bad for you? Does televison provide some spiritual growth? What are you attracting by burning that many hours a day watching televison. Doing this once in a while is probably not a big issue. But many will spend every night glued to the tv.
I believe television robs us of our creativity and energy. At least newspapers and the internet use you brain by you reading the information. Television by it’s nature encourages us to sit and do nothing but watch the prepared information. Let’s look at one aspect of television, the evening news and see how it can affect your life.
Let’s look at the national evening news. It doesn’t matter which network you are watching because they all say the same. In fact you can put them side by side and see the same news. Every night we are subjected to the lead story, which is the most sensational story of the day. The most sensational story may not be the most important to us. But it is the one that has been determined to get the most people to watch to sell the most amount of products during commercials. If you observe you will see we are also fed a constant diet of fear……………
We are told to fear the weather, fear earthquakes, fear the flu, fear the poor, fear our enemies, fear our school systems, fear foreigners, fear our food, fear children who commit crimes, fear the environmentalists, fear just about everything. This is the “news” that we subject ourselves to daily. I personally do not watch the news on televison because it isn’t news.
Can you imagine if the news only gave us the good that happened everyday? It gave us news that was uplifting and encouraged people to take risks, start a business, write a book. Told us about people helping other people….instead of hurting others.
So I have to ask….What is television attracting to you and is it good?
