Let me start with my successful "TV Diet" for the past 3 weeks.
Ever since the Whitney Houston incident, followed by yet another high school shooting, I have decided to not watch TV anymore. It's been about 3 weeks now, and I can't even describe to you the refreshing feeling I get as a result. It's like you are on a vegan diet and you can actually feel the cleansing process within your body (AND your mind) -- it's great! Finally, I don't need to be sickened by the absolute lack of role models for young people in this culture, I don't need to be sickened by another school shooting that caused innocent deaths, AND I don't need to be sickened by a radical moron like Rick Santorum...
When you think about it, do we need more knowledge? Is more information going to save the world, or faster computers, more scientific or intellectual analysis? Is it not wisdom that humanity needs most at this time? What is wisdom and where is it to be found? Wisdom can't be found when your mind is cluttered with all the junk and/or noise. Wisdom comes with the ability to be still, to be pure and simple. Just look and just listen. No more is needed. Being still, looking, and listening activates the non-conceptual intelligence within you, and that non-conceptual intelligence is wisdom.
