Right perfect time, u know how it is boys! same as no wank,

No, newspapers, no radio, no Tv, Media Mags.... CEFAI NO GOSSIP MAGS.

just cut any knowledge of the rest of the world out

make ur world your only important thing.

tv programs are ok without adverts & if they are fiction! movies are fine.

JUST ANYTHIN THATS TRYING TO SELL U SHIT NO

ANYTHIN THATS INVOLVES BAD NEWS NO

u know the drill, start today

I say No TV whatsoever, other than DVDs if youve got a bird round

How about the internet?

Unless its Porn??

All I do is watch stuff I need/want to watch. I don't have a tv any more, just a laptop with downloads and dvds. TV is crap, and the news channels are depressing, unless of course they're singing the praises of the ConDems.

This is a tought one IE where do you draw the line?

I'm definatley up for it.

I say no internet unless its to do with messaging or its educational like this site.

remember as a kid when ud go abroad on holiday and not miss TV one bit

now we have mobiles and net access everywhere, papers printed locally, sky TV in the villa etc

I'm in.

The parameters I had in mind were as follows:

1) to get back to a more natural/traditional state of mind, without the influence of the tide of constant random suggestion from external sources.

2) to develop the habit if generating my own more healthy reality from within, which will mean different things to different people.

Obviously we live in society and can’t avoid it when out and about, just don’t bring it into your home or mobile devices and such intentionally.

For me, I’m part way there already as I don’t watch much TV or follow the “news”, if you can call it that. I rarely read magazines or papers…etc. So I will just axe movies and music with lyrics (both of which I consume a lot of), both being rife with suggestion and passive participation in certain constructs.

Nature documentaries allowed, classical music allowed, all self development material of any type allowed weather on internet (e.g. this forum), DVD’s, reading or whatever.

That’s my take on it.

PS

I also stopped picking up a copy of The Metro when getting on the bus before Christmas. No need to polute my mind with shrouded Daily Mail views.

I guess the big question would be, apart from the 20th century media, can we all avoid news websites being thrown at us. I get the BBC headlines fed to our work homepage. Kind of hard to avoid at times.

I get it fed to my phone, although when one comes through in a crisis I feel like a superhero.

I've not had a computer since December and thus no proper internet. I have to say I don't miss it at all.
