An online friend's response to this little essay:<br><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>Anti-Loosh<br><br>When I first attended a program at a Yoga center in <br>1989, the program leader described that 'average' <br>news stress is so considerable, that when they learned <br>to meditate, pursue healthy exercise and eat well, <br>his family also stopped listening to "All Things <br>Considered" (PBS' evening radio news program) while <br>eating - since the occasion of eating (GOOD energy) <br>was so contrasted by the stress and assaulting-energy <br>of listening to daily news.<br><br>Later, at a chiropractor's, when given an introductory <br>lecture (required for all new clients), which included <br>discussion of Applied Kinesiology, I responded to the <br>request for a volunteer for demonstrating AK's simple <br>functionality.<br><br>The chiropractor had me sit facing the rest of the <br>group with a blackboard behind me, that I couldn't <br>see. She wrote a word on the blackboard and told the <br>rest of the group to read it, then look at me ... <br>NOT thinking (projecting) the word 'at' me ... just <br>look at me after reading the word. When she muscle-<br>tested my response it was nice and strong.<br><br>She erased the word, then wrote another, told the <br>group to read the word, then look at me ... my muscle <br>response evaporated ... I couldn't hold my arm up at <br>all against her gentle push.<br><br>The first word was "handsome".<br><br>The second word was "angry".<br><br>That's ALL it was. The response was clear and <br>unquestionable - and I never even saw the words <br>myself !!!<br><br>Then she reminded us how many very negative words and <br>thoughts are communicated during nearly any given news <br>broadcast - and that the energy infused by them into <br>the listener/viewer is WAY beyond what we had just <br>demonstrated and it's cumulative, it adds up.<br><br>Likewise with nearly any (personal or public) <br>discussion or article or forum post, etc. Becoming <br>conscious of our (often unnoticed) emotional and <br>resulting brain chemistry reactions is a key <br>awareness cue, useful in all daily experience.<br><br>Add to the news viewing, the content of commercial <br>television programs. With all the superficial content <br>of popular programming, along with the socially-<br>manipulative 'instruction' - just average lifestyle<br>images and "beliefs" (yes, it IS instruction, it <br>bypasses conscious thought, directly into the <br>subconscious) added with the DELUGE of directly fear-<br>generating content, the daily viewer can absorb many<br>thousands of fictional acts (and words) of violence <br>and murder PER year.<br><br>Like processed, chemicalized, (dead) foods, this <br>stress accumulates over our years and takes a HEAVY <br>toll on our health and consciousness. These are <br>things that we can EASILY learn about and protect <br>ourselves against ... the other more hidden toxins <br>in our environment are more difficult to learn.<br><br>When we quit DOING the disease-causing activities <br>(to ourselves) that are common and easy to learn <br>about ... the resulting wakefulness then alerts us <br>to learning about the less obvious poisons (layer <br>by layer).<br><br>It's an option, a CHOICE, it doesn't just happen.</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><br><br>And another angle of why we need to be careful of living in a fear-based reality: <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://educate-yourself.org/ww/oct2006cosmictriggerevent25sep06.shtml" target="top">Cosmic Trigger Event, October 17, 2006 </a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br><br>This is supported by astrology; there is definately something coming that can change people/things/events. What direction it goes is entirely up to each of us. --MaryK<br> <p></p><i></i>
