If I'm watching a movie "the 'energies' or 'emotions'" are definitely not real me. Not to the point that they interfere with "my" reality when the movie stops. That said, I rather watch Discovery then movies/sitcoms/etc. Into the Wild, that's a story that moved me. But definitely not your average tube material.
Also, Tolle's reality isn't everyones reality. |
You are right about Tolle not being the know-all. That's why I raised the question.
Don't you think TV and media have a profound impact in conditioning us: changing our opinion (=the way we feel or think about something).
What is the difference between you being very attracted to let us say Angelina Jolie in a movie and being attracted to a "real" woman that passes by in a car? Isn't the "feeling"/ sensation the same?
So once a movie ends, it has no impact on you at all? Let us say you watch a horror movie where someone kills people with a kitchen knife in dark corners of the city at night. Did you ever walk trough a dark park at night after watching a horror movie?
How did you "feel"?
