Mute all commercials

All day long you live in an altered state.   It is IMPOSSIBLE to stay in the wide awake state while you watch television.  How does one know?  A test was done where people were hooked up to their tv set with wires attached to the persons brain to show at what point each person went into an altered state.  These subjects were told that the tv will only stay on as long as you are wide awake.  The subjects all said that " I know that I am wide awake whenever I watch tv"...HA. But.....none of the subjects could keep the tv set on more than 50 seconds.  That is how quickly you enter the altered state once you become focused on something like a television or a movie screen.  

You know the people who make the programs know this as well as the people who make the movies.  Think how cartoons are touching young minds not to say the video games today.  Especially the advertisers know this.  During a 10 hour time the tv is on, you are going to view 3 hours worth of ads.  Almost one third is devoted to programming you to buy, buy, buy and buy more.  But the show itself produces the same effect with what ever the screen writer wants to program the audience with in a direction that groups will be swayed.  They know while you view their material you will be in an altered state just looking at a moving screen of any kind.  Least you can do is mute all commercials or even throw the tv out the window.

Ever think about why you are bombarded today with so many ads on that computer screen?  You have a hard time even trying to view a simple news story now without wading through a dozen types of ads.  

I bet your genes have been altered.  What size do you wear?  lol.

The difference with video games is you are more consciously connected to the world. Though I'm sure the effect is there, your mental state is more focused and alert because you have to focus on the game, and not just watch it and tune out.

Mr. StapleRD....read over what you just posted above very closely. You are correctly describing going into the trance state.

Yeah, sometimes I use the mental states in video games for energy work.

Let's say I have a blockage or something. I will use the visuals of something like killing a monster to energetically vibrate within my body to destroy the blockage.

It's a simple example, but you can use video games fairly
flexibly.

In today's hypnosis techniques, no longer is the ancient method of using the pocket watch and chain and watching the tick tock.....lol....used.  Visuals and images are used to take you into the trance state....and that is exactly what you are involved with watching tv or video games or movies.  You are in a heightened stage of focus....this is hypnosis, clear and simple,  and you are now open for anything they want to input...things like subliminal statements which are not openly seen unless that feed slows down a great deal.  The blasting and explosions repeated over and over in aggression is preparing the young mind to adapt to the chaos of the future which is how we quickly are moving into that stage.  Violence is the order of the day.  We no longer think anything is out of the way when a world leader is gunned down or blown up as the population is conditioned to accept it as a matter of everyday happening.  It is much easier now to take a mind conditioned to this stuff and program it with blasting away at the movie house or the mall or the school and it takes very little effort now to program these subjects that are used to accomplish their purpose.

a good subject to touch upon... this should be common sense to those with an open eye...
anything mass-produced has the potential of being muttled with brainwashing material...

commercials.. tv... news... magazines... food... internet... radio....
all of those songs repeated over and over on the radio are brainwash. ever hate a song when it first comes out but it plays so often that your mind becomes conditioned to it and you begin to like it? brainwash. dissecting every sound within those popular songs and analyzing them-- people want you to live their lifestyle. they don't want you to think. they want your brain capacity to be that of a tooth pick. people want you to be a pet of society.

and some rich bastard is getting paid to sell you poison in deceiving pretty boxes and cans.

those great tasting unhealthy foods that your mind craves... yet your body needs healthy food instead.

when i'm in altered states of thinking... almost everything around me disgusts me. simply because i can see it for what it really is.

we're all caged animals living a routine no different than a hamster or a house cat. the only escape is your mind. you can overcome what society tries to force upon you. you just need to elevate the self....

good topic to bring up for those who don't realize all the crap that's around them.

Below are 6 things a supposed insider of the elite posted in 2005 saying you should be careful about....the food and drink parts he is speaking of additives that are placed into these products....

He says.....
If you can "delete" a few from your life or have less exposure to them, the effect will reduce
dramatically, but this is not what will make you more self-conscious.
These methods are used to wear you out, lower your quality of life.
They are interlinked.
The methods are:
1. Food and drinks
2. Medication, "Health care" (include vitamins)
3. Electrical waves (including your PC and cellphone, house electr. network, everything chipped)
4. Media, be it TV-radio-newspapers-magazines-internet (the most obvious method, yet the most
enslaving)
5. Music, Sounds (different method than media, used in a different way although most times
through the media)
6. Air pollution
7. Education system (including known literature which is mostly corrupt, be it history,
psychology, metapsychology, "philosophy", art, science, poetry, religion, even fairy tales told to
infants).
Politics takes these methods and bombard you with this every day and make sure they are
maintained.
The rule is:
If promoted/praised/applauded/critically acclaimed/free, be very wary.
Be it food, medicines, latest technological product, "artist", politician, musician, book, show,
beverage, etc.
Some of these allegedly "stand the test of time", that is orchestrated for a reason.
Problem is if too wary, you could miss a few gems that are deliberately passed on in between the
manipulation tools by some.
There are a few other methods (societies/cults/sects, people policing each other, etc) but the above
6 are the core which has been promoted since the French "Revolution".

We are learning about persuasion in English class at the moment :B

But I wouldn't have thought about it like that. *Watches more TV*

Maxx, I agree with you, but not every single video game/movie ever was made directly for the purpose of brainwashing. Though the creator's feelings and intentions are always subliminally transmitted, there certainly must be some instances where a programmer wanted to make a game for whatever reason. This may just be me being a stupid teenager, but from certian games I can feel the passion and love the creator puts into the game versus the obvious boring bullsh*t.

With something like call of duty it's pretty obvious that that franchise is just a tool, but personally, I believe there are exceptions. An example is The Legend of Zelda, Ocarina of Time. The game is based on the imaginative childhood adventures of it's creator, Shigeru Miyamoto. Subtly, the game communicates the director, and it almost seems like he channeled his belief in fantasy into a game to make it a reality for him. Though the game has subtle messaging, it seems far from malignant.

Sorry for the rant all, just trying to explain my thought process.

One of my favorite games, Dante's Inferno is closely based off the actual story by Dante. It is extremely accurate to the original story and it teaches the player a lot about the mythos of Dante.
I do agree with you Maxx that several commercials and popular programs do display "brain washing" capabilities.

This conversation reminds me of a couple of recent headlines such as Robots being developed with emotions to relate with humans.  Also, the latest in the robot military situation of creating a design to be half computer with human DNA and then developed into cyborg, etc.  The interactions you are describing kind of appears like the first stages of having a relationship with that computer game.  smile. All the games created and put out on the market can be gauged as to how each design sells and how they are interacting internally with the buyer.  This info is tweeked and then a conclusion is taken as to what area the next wave of games should be developed to enhance a more personal approach to interact with you.    One of you sounds like you fell in love with a game and have become emotionally attached.  You need to see a lawyer for a divorce or take the box in for marriage counseling.

Our military is creating fighting robots which will be used to replace human element.  The industrial line has already done that to a great extent.  It is only a matter of time before the computers do all the human does for a job.  At that point, why should food be developed and given to the worthless humans.  Get rid of the fat, worthless eaters.  These creations mankind is using now are developed with no soul.  No Spirit.  Everything is becoming outdated that is connected with the human.  

Just step back and take a look at your present feelings on this issue.

That love you speak of is nostalgia.

You need an anti acid for that......

I'll try some baking soda

no one wanting to make a videogame ever wants it to be a brainwashing tool. it is after the goodness is made, how do they get it to everyone for them to experience? marketing. marketing, publishing, and all the above is when the brainwashing happens. you cant market your game unless you do these things for us, then we wll sponsor and publish your game. no take that interesting story part out and input our own. etc etc. I am actually in college for videogame art and design, and this is one of the first things you learn before you can ever make a game, you need someone to sponsor it. there are of couse indie games, but they dont get too far without money, or get too far without being noticed and being a hot item a big company wants to buy and own the intellectual properties for.

too long didnt read- corruption isn't born, it's taught/it happens along the way.

that is an interesting comment Demonia.....
going somewhat into the tv area there is more.....I see this headline today....

yes. when it comes to children and tv, moderation is key.. do some shows help educate kids, maybe... but have you noticed the turn of tv shows for children and pre teens specifically? these new ones are centered around specific things influencing kids too... and hardly have an interesting storyline.. because the general population doesn't have the attention span anymore for something like a book or a dynamic plot anymore. and theyre just forming it more and more... our physical evolution has slowed dramatically, but through brainwashing etc, the mind is evolving in different ways or so i speculate from observation... you're either lucky and able to differentiate crap from actual good entertainment or you just get sucked into watching tv for hours upon hours each week without any development in your life whatsoever...

but everyone's different and will choose to do what they want. i just dont really have any interest in any tv shows, ive tried watching them but its just uninteresting to me.

tv like every other device was a tool... useable for good or bad... i always imagine how it would be if tv were used in some sort of way for spiritual development if possible... you can influence/brainwash someone to do good things too... but im rambling now. and such will never happen hah. no time soon anyways.
