Oprah and Eckhart Tolle discussed on their online class (chapter 5, page 27 of the transcript) some of the most recent violent movies that had been given Academy Awards. Such violent films inflict pain, spew violence over the movie screen and our TV sets, and ruthlessly kill. Yet such is being done as a form of entertainment.
Were somebody to come back from other eras and ages when guns and weaponry wasn’t prominent, they would be greatly distraught at the current state of our society. The thought of people paying and taking from their hard earned income to watch murder, violence, and killing as a form of entertainment is mind boggling.
Oprah asked Eckhart, “What is it about a lot of the public that enjoys that?”
I say it’s utterly demonic and devilish. People who don’t have the Spirit of God are being moved upon by other spirits that drive them to engage in and participate in foul acts. Being a spectator and passive participant of foul acts of murder by way of watching it on the big screen effects you neurologically and bodily as if the event actually occurred, because our bodies take our thoughts and the images that pass through our minds as reality.
Eckhart mentioned that such forms of entertainment attest to the “human madness” and “psychological dysfunction behind violence” that drives us (be it to perpetrate or passively participate as spectators seeking its entertainment).
What struck me most was a direct quote from Eckhart Tolle saying, “But it’s not actually the people themselves who pay money to see these movies. It’s the pain-body in them that feeds on the violence that it watches. And the people who produce these movies probably…”
Oprah: “Their pain bodies are writing them.”
Tolle: “The pain-bodies write them, the pain-bodies write the movies, the pain-bodies produce them, and the pain-bodies watch them.”
And there you have it, an accumulation of pain bodies, or what I call demons collectively preying on people and joining forces to afflict society entirely by way of the media and forms of entertainment we watch. Hence the collective release of demonic activity increases and the level by which we afflict ourselves by opening ourselves up to such devilish entertainment multiplies.
Set on fire from hell our pain bodies feed and lust for more violence. As we inwardly seethe and boil with anger ourselves, such forms of violence by way of entertainment slowly desensitizes us to such behavior thereby grossly effecting society as a whole as we become more tolerant and accustomed to such outbreaks of violence amongst ourselves.
The only way out is to stop the violence, beginning with what you allow yourself and your family to be entertained by. Because what you comfortably embrace as entertainment, your mind accepts as permissible behavior. Therefore beware what you embrace and welcome into your home over the airwaves.
A mind is a terrible thing to waste on such perverse entertainment. Guard your heart which is the wellspring of life.
