I learned more about the resistance I was creating in my body and mind to being open to all that chaos. I began to learn that I had the capacity to be more than my fear driven ego defenses. But it has not been easy. The plants show you and you have to do the work and face everything. I am not good at that. Yet I have made some progress.

probably the most "normal" thing I've learned is how the media creates your perrceptions of reality with lies, mistruths, distortions, and flat out propoganda.
how the pacing of television disarms the brain and destroys the capacity to think "free" thoughts.....
and that it's a device being used for horrible evil.
I also learned a lot of intricate things about Mulholland Drive 
Can't say what else I've learned, other than have had my long term memory opened up to great heights, and my short term a bit closed.
-------------------- I am the MacDaddy of Heimlich County, I play it Straight Up Yo! ....I embrace my desire to feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow, to feel inspired, to fathom the power, to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain, to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human...... Om Namah Shivaya, I tell you What!

That's a lot to learn. Not many people understand how far reaching these things are and that they are the target of a plan (who's plan?) to put them completely in the service of the culture and almost never in the service of themselves. Not many can be that awake.

Yes, it is impossible to freely think when one is sitting in front of a television.

I think it may be a sort of unintentional evil. From my own observations, people use the television as a way to just turn off. If you've ever seen someone watching TV for a while, it truly does look as though they are hypnotized by it. According to my philosophy instructor, there have indeed been studies done that show that serotonin is released as a result of watching TV, similar to drugs.
So while it may not be the direct intention of TV manufacturers and media moguls to hypnotize a great number of people, it certainly seems to be a noticable effect.
If you want proof just take a look around at the upcoming generation in America, I think it could be aptly named the "MTV Generation."

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.

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!

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."
