- Stop watching news/tv, these are just full of negativity informations, which will fill your mind with.

- Stop facebook/twitter/instagram etc..., these websites are not only useless, but will make you less happy about your life, since you only see the happy parts of other lives.

I agree with stopping the news. It is all behavior manipulation. The average american will wake up in the morning, and ask themselves: "How am I going to be manipulated today? CNN? Fox?". It is so clear what these organizations are doing. Theres nothing wrong with it, but once you see it, you can't unsee it. I see it everyday. I'm in law school, and I read and listen to peoples arguments all day. The blind-spots created by the media are pervasive in people's lives and generalize to all other facets of their life. It is the same argument over and over, only the content is changing. All of it is based on the assumption that "their side" is inherently right because the other side is wrong, or some variation of that. It is one of the biggest propagators of the "matrix". When a populace is only concerned with tearing each other apart, those in power have a few benefits: 1) they are generally guaranteed incumbency  because everything they do is centered around blaming the right people. When they do this effectively, it creates a situation where supporters feel guilty for criticizing the person, and worse, feels that they have to defend the person tooth and nail. 2) They have no accountability. 3) they are able to campaign even when they arent campaigning. 4) They are able to distract the populace from certain issues VERY easily by pulling the old switcheroo.

It becomes impossible to accept what is because people are identified with their side. Contradiction ruins their day as all they can think about is how different they are from those evil people on the other side. There is a very simple truth about reality. Underneath beliefs, every person is the same nothing. Any feeling that this isnt the case is created. It is all a big orgy of egotistical projection built on a bed of self-lies. Once uncovered, it is seen how hilarious it all is. I mean just watching the people get angry over words which are structurally the same argument they are making, or watching their eyes glaze over when someone starts their opinion in the wrong way. They are immediately arguing in their head, they hear nothing.

It's good to check the news every once in a while, but for godsakes find sources from both sides and read them, don't watch it. TV news is too easy to insert manipulative methods. We live in an editorial society, and opinions are like assholes. 


Meditation is the mind training itself. You are just along for the ride.

You know how they say you should experience it and not take someone's word for it? well I just did and it flat out works! Thanks for the tip, good Sir.


''I am surrounded by priests who repeat incessantly that their kingdom is not of this world, and yet they lay their hands on everything they can get'' (NapoleonBonaparte).

"We control matter because we control the mind. Reality is inside the skull. You will learn by degrees, Winston. There is nothing that we could not do. Invisibility, levitation—anything. I could float off this floor like a soap bubble if I wish to. I do not wish to, because the Party does not wish it. You must get rid of those nineteenth-century ideas about the laws of Nature. We make the laws of Nature." (1984)
