EVALUATING MEDIA

[Golden_Angel_K]

Fresh Mind

There is a lot of information available to us at this time in history, more than ever before, and it travels quickly. We are able to learn in the blink of an eye about something that happened halfway around the world, and it’s natural for us to want to know what’s going on. However, it’s also fair to say that we don’t want to become so caught up in one way of looking at events that we lose perspective. Often, the news comes to us in a very fear-oriented format, and when too many of us get caught up in fear, the balance of the whole is disrupted. It helps to remember that we have a much greater and more positive impact on the world when we maintain our inner sense of peace and joy.

We are aware enough to know when we are eating something that is not good for us, because we don’t feel well after we’ve eaten it. In the same way, we can determine for ourselves whether the sources in which our information comes are ultimately healthful. News can be presented in a way that inspires us to take positive action to help the world, or it can be presented in a way that leaves us feeling powerless and sad. It is up to us to seek out and support media that empowers and informs us, and to say no to media that drains our energy and our hope.

For a time, it may even be of benefit to commit to a media fast, in which we stop taking information in for a time to give ourselves a rest. When we return to the task of taking in and processing the information all around us, we will come to it with a fresh mind. This will enable us to really notice how we are affected by what we hear and see, and to make conscious choices about the sources of information that we allow into our lives.

Your welcome Trudy, is like you have said, we need now to start thinking for our selves, using our hearts and intuitions more often, so we can decide better which media resources are favorable for us, thank you, blessed be.

I totally agree with you on this Golden Angel ... exploring the internet for news can be very task full, certain when you must make a shift in what is acceptable and what is not ... but when the news is bringing you down you can better explore yourself ... but that needs a lot of guts, going inside where you can find the real secret doesn't bring you always the news what you expect ...
Good topic Golden Angel Thank You xx

I agree Golden, along with the notion of ....do your research, consider everything, dscount nothing. Stay centered and be ready for anything.

Hi nonya, thanks for your opinion. the better resource you can trust is your own heart and intuition, these info is provided to make you ¨aware¨ of what should be the best conditions for this temporary world. You already know all the info and much more within you. Blessings
