No and no. I mean just that there are far more programs on TV that are conducive to this 'turning off' than there are programs and stations like the History Channel and the Discovery Channel which foster knowledge and learning and actually using the brain.

On my hardest trip, I thought I was dying. After the peak, I remember hoping that death actually resembled that experience. I sat down to a homecooked birthday meal, and sat there trying to really remember all I had seen the past 6 hours. That dinner felt like a welcome back party instead of my B day party,lol.
I had eaten 70 fresh grams for breakfast with a glass of OJ at my parents farm. Luckily, them being old hippies, my mom could tell I was having a Tottaly Bad trip. She made me eat a bananna, and believe it or not, it worked. I wasnt dying,lol.

Satisfying demand with supply, eh?
I just ingested a considerable amount of Cambodians, still not finished ingesting them, in fact. I certainly hope my television set (which barely gets used, might I add) doesn't attempt to turn me to the dark side.

 Peace.

Indeed Plato still rings true in his analysis of the overwhelming majority of people living in the Appetitive.

Well if it does, just flip on some Dark Side by Floyd and all will be well . Have a wonderful time man, the Cambodian spirits are wise. Be sure to post any interesting and insightful thoughts and ideas you may have at some point!

Oh man! They're mind bending! Have you had a chance to listen to their newest album, Nothing is Lost? It's all so good!

I dont consider television evil, but I do consider it the most abused tool in the world. It can be used for educational, informative reasons, it's got the most effective way to convey information to the masses. However, 90% of the time, it's used for anything but that, but to, as said before ... zombify the nation with banal voyeur mindless horseshit on FOX..
I watch TV, and I don't consider it evil. However, I also watch about 6 hours a month and only the Discovery, History channels, and Adult Swim. You control the medium, you control what's being messaged into your skull!

For the guy who said the media is terrible for reality. How are you suppose to be informed on what is happening outside your community without the media?
-------------------- "People living deeply have no fear of death." "Love the animals, love the plants, love everything. If you love everything, you will perceive the divine mystery in things. Once you perceive it, you will begin to comprehend it better every day. And you will come at last to love the whole world with an all-embracing love." "Our problems are man-made, therefore they may be solved by man. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings."

That I need just a few micrograms, grams, milligrams (you fill in the blank) more.

A warrior is tuned to survive, and he survives in the best of all possible fashions." ― Carlos Castaneda

Well, on my craziest mushroom trip I learned after a big scare that..
The sound of a jet airplane in the sky does not necessarily mean that it's an incoming nuclear missle coming my way.
Man, I bugged out that day.
