You've probably heard that television and movies put people into highly receptive states... Dark rooms with colorful flickering lights, telling stories, emoting noises.
Emotions, mystery, the beautiful, and fantasy all on a compelling box set in front of our eyes. Usually before the show or the movie, or even before the commercial is finished, we have indeed lost our self-awareness for at least a moment or two. Even while distracted with another task, the input from the TV still makes it into our psyche: what do you remember better, chopping the vegetables or Seinfeld's latest escapade?
In the case of television, we know that the receptive state viewers naturally attain is highly valuable to advertisers. But do you really want to be thinking that you might need Depends undergarments as a 50 year old? Do you really want to be able to, at the slightest provocation, sing the jingles for fast food joints and beer?
So how do you use this wonderful opportunity to program yourself? What if every moment you were being entertained you were also absorbing information and emotions, according only to YOUR agenda?
If you want your mind full of what other people want to fill it with, then read no further! And to those of you continuing on, you probably have an inkling that your life will be wonderfully different when your mind and soul are filled with thoughts, ideas, emotions, and songs of YOUR creation or invitation. So how can you do this and still actually relax?
So simple it's as easy as turning on and tuning out... Just ask these two things about yourself as you switch on the remote or chew on some popcorn. This will cause your subconscious mind to go to work on your agenda, not just the advertisers':
1) Why are you watching? (to be entertained, escape, appease a friend, learn, etc.)
2) What specifically do you want to get out of watching? (a mental break, a deeper sense of meaning, an idea for a new song, a clear career direction, a certain feeling, information to make you rich, etc.)
That's it. Now couch it up!
This is the essence of psychological mastery, described in one highly specific application. There are numerous opportunities to use and test the results. So just do it, and then let me know what happened. We'd all rather hear that then the theme song to the McNeil-Lehrer Report
