The Media as MInd Control

One is continuously bombarded with information. One lives in the information age, where the clever and psychologically resourceful can manipulate and indoctrinate the mind with all sorts of religious, political, and philosophical opinions and conclusions. There are those in the media that command an audience of followers, and will subject there viewers to the mind control of whatever new philosophical fad is coming down the pipeline. They believe in something or someone so they subject people to an onslaught of systematized brainwashing. People with money and power are not content with their own influence pedaling, so they bring in outside persons who they become attached to and in the name of "humanity" declare that "this" is truth.
Money and power are not enough they want to control and move people, to create a world in their image. One can see how that these persons try to control the media, through T.V. magazines, through their highly publicized "do-gooder" donations and give aways. It is the conceit of the moneyed of those who have so much poverty within, that they must live outside themselves.

One cannot become wealthy with out exploiting others. They live in exploitation, in the greed of there own self absorbed image. If they were truly awakened to the self, they would chuck it all and find the truth of simplicity, but they cannot because they are attached to the image of self. Whatever they do is a projection of that image, of the control and influence pedaling of the wealthy. They do it because they can and because they are self absorbed.

One would do well to throw the T.V. in the trash and find that which is not an outside influence. If one has any common sense at all one can recognize when one is being subjected to mind control. The media has created a vacuity in ones consciousness that requires a daily dose of ones preferred personality drug. One needs to wake up and find that which is not a repetition, that which is not a fix for ones addiction.

What is left in the wake of this onslaught of mind control? What is the result when the latest fad has faded and one is left with the realization that one has been manipulated? One may become depressed because what was promised did not materialize. One is as one has always been, in conflict and fear. There are many out there that teach and say that they represent awakening, but they are really just looking for confirmation of their beliefs and conclusions. They do it at the psychological expense of others. One must realize that published awakening is the illusion of the instigator. That one cannot cause another to be awakened through words and concepts. Such a person gets caught in the opposition of position. One can do great harm by purporting to teach that which cannot be taught.

One can only find truth within, in the simplicity of what is.One must negate all that is without. One must move away from the temptation to be influenced by that which is outside the self.
As one has said there are no guides to truth.There is no system that can cause one to realize.
There is no higher self, there is only the true self, which is the realization of the moment, the unknown.
