There is beauty in everything. All someone has to do is open their mind to it. A spiritual person would know that.

Now I could hold that spirituality is just seen as very real or valid by the consensus culture. But if that is so then why the dark forms of spirituality prominently featured? Yes much of it is watches as mere “entertainment”. But I don’t see how it can do anything but hurt the changes of drawing toward Light.

It’s better to isolate yourself from it I swear to you

Thank you for sharing Grace,

I didn’t know Anton Lavey wrote about this but of course it isn’t surprising.

It’ll be replaced with other technology that’ll give even worse results. It’s amazing how many people don’t look when they cross the road these days because they fail to look up from their mobile phones. I saw a young couple on a date once who didn’t even speak to each other at the dinner table – just looked at their phones.

Thank you for sharing so honestly actually Grace.

Having grown up not entirely in front of the screen but already spending a significant time in front throughout my childhood, I’ve seen in myself that its grip on me was huge! It has been a terrible and long struggle to rip myself gradually free from the addiction to entertainment in front of a screen.

But I see that for current/future generations, influenced and brought up in front of a screen even more, and that from infancy— that the place of addiction it has within them will be too much to break.

There will not be enough strength, nor the wish, nor the know how, for someone to switch from receiving nourishment and fulfilment from emotional entertainment— to the way of living where we get our nourishment and satisfaction from real life around us. And this goes beyond just not having ‘a life’ any more. I’m talking about the loss of a psychological way of being. Like forever being locked in a daydream. Where people will no longer be interested or able to perceive life in awareness/mindfulness. Like you know when being in a clear state in nature…. and perceiving that beauty, which is Reality. And that moment of experiencing beauty is only a hint of a perception and magical life that exists and we could have. But the ways are closing for people to feel reality, and higher realities, and spend their life ‘asleep’ in front of a tv, deaf to God’s call.
