Why is no one discussing the digital TV thing?

[Egg]

In an experiment in 1969, Herbert Krugman monitored a person through many trials and found that in less than one minute of television viewing, the person's brainwaves switched from Beta waves-- brainwaves associated with active, logical thought-- to primarily Alpha waves. When the subject stopped watching television and began reading a magazine, the brainwaves reverted to Beta waves.

Now if your brain has gone into an alpha state and they decide to slip a little extra in without you seeing it, your thinking mind can be very easily by passed and in all probability you will not notice due to your induced almost trance like status.

2009 Can Indeed Become a Magical Year
It is this message that this Awareness wishes to leave the membership with. 2009 can indeed become a very magical year as individuals begins to see more and more how it is possible to create an alternative reality for themselves. By not choosing to totally give power to the outside world, the outside powers and authorities, by starting to take one's own power, by starting to exhibit to oneself their capacity as a Creator Being, it will become easier and easier to step into that role, to share this knowledge and advice with others and to redefine and recreate one's world.
This is the powerful message that this Awareness wishes to leave one and all at this time.
…An Exercise to Experience Alterative Realities******************************** The Anti-matter Stream of Consciousness************************** (Continuous Motion in Film)
Questioner:
(Thank you)** Would this be a good time to discuss the one quarter of one billionth of a second manifestation on/off scenario, sort of like the film frame-by-frame analogy? Would this relate to what you just said?
Cosmic Awareness:
This indeed does relate to what this Awareness has just spoken of. In the past this Awareness has expressed that every quarter of a billionth of a second reality blinks off. It experiences that which is its opposite, the anti-matter stream of consciousness. It is in this void that it is possible to change all. Of course, this is a time frame that is so incredibly short that it is not easily conceived of or understood. This Awareness would rather use the analogy as spoken by the energizer of a film, an 8-millimeter film for example.
A film runs on the principle of continuous motion, so that when one views the film, all that is seen is continuous motion and action, but in truth, each frame is separate from the next with a black strip between each frame. It is only in running the entire film that one sees the continuous motion, but if one were to take the film and look at it, there would be seen that between each frame is the black strip, that which separates one action from the next action, from the next.* It is that black strip that constitutes the quarter of a billionth of a second where things could change radically.
If one wished to edit the film, it is always edited along that line, and that piece that is no longer needed is cut away, and the two pieces of film are joined again at a later point, thus giving again that illusion of a continuous action, a continuous event. So it is with life. There are many black strips, quarter of a billionth of a second voids, where if one understood this concept, could be used to change reality. It is a thought process again, connected with the inner creative process.
In meditation and in contemplation, one can formulate the thought and the idea of what one would wish to experience. Even though in the process of thinking the thought, the affirmation, the new plan, billions of these frame voids have already passed. Still, eventually the message does get translated into that split second where a change can occur. This Awareness understands that at this time, the majority of individuals have not quite reached that place of refinement where they can use this technique successfully, but it is in the practicing of this way of thinking, of using this concept, that eventually more and more individuals will be able to use that quarter-billionth of a second to effect change, to experience alternate realities.
This is something that needs to be looked at and played with more and more, but eventually, through practice, this way of thinking, this technique could be used effectively as a way of changing one's reality, one's moment.
Questioner:
(Thank you) That's most encouraging. I'm pleased that you were able to talk further on that concept.
Cosmic Awareness:
This Awareness will always be prepared to talk more on this concept if this is still vague or confusing to the readership.
Ancient Civilizations to be Rediscovered*
* (The Mummies of the Ra-Ta Experiments)
Question:
(Thank you) Would Awareness please speak more on the other civilizations, Atlantis, Lemuria, all the ancient civilizations.
Cosmic Awareness:
This Awareness has said that there may be evidence in 2009 of previous civilizations coming into consciousness, being discovered, or rather rediscovered. This is indeed a distinct and true possibility, for there is in truth a continuum of those civilizations into these modern times. This Awareness has spoken of the mummies of the Ra-Ta experiment, of their consciousness being reactivated and introduced into this timeline at this time to help the expansion of consciousness so that the many who have already begun that spiritual journey, that expansion of consciousness and awareness, can be enhanced and helped by this new flowing of stimulation to the consciousness of the planet and to humanity itself.
In 2009 Many Will Experience Contact and Communication with Ancient Civilizations
This is also seen as part of that re-emergence of the previous cultures, the rediscovery of those cultures. On the multidimensional level of things, the Lemurians, the Atlanteans, the Mayans do indeed still carry on, do indeed still exist. Part of what this Awareness was speaking of, is that many in 2009 will begin to experience contact and communication with these previous civilizations, these multidimensional brothers and sisters who still are connected in that continuum that is the planet earth and her history. The history is one that also extends forward in time into that which is known as the future. It is part of the present also.
As human awareness and consciousness expand, that doorway to the previous civilizations will again open wide and thus, those who have the ability and the trust and the capacity to connect with the previous civilizations will be led to discoveries regarding those previous times, peoples and civilizations. They will also be able to take on board information presented to them by past cultures and civilizations, all for the purpose of helping the future evolution of mankind, especially at this time as mankind draws ever nearer to that magical time of Ascension that this Awareness has spoken of many times in the past. The future is also available for this Awareness to speak of this matter again.
The previous civilizations are not completely gone. Because they are of a multidimensional character, some of them can communicate with the citizens of this planet at this time. This Awareness says "some" for others have gone on to do other things, and yet there are many who have made it their choice to be involved with humanity's evolution at this most crucial time. They are in communication and contact with the extraterrestrial beings that are also multidimensional and have the capacity to work with those who are on the other dimensional levels of reality.
How to Move Backwards and Forward in Time
Time, as it is understood, simply does not exist in the same way, once multidimensional consciousness is reached. Thus it is that individuals can move backwards and forwards in time itself.* The whole definition of time as it is now known loses its meaning. It is a process that those who have achieved that higher level of consciousness and awareness are very familiar with and very comfortable with. It thus can be seen and understood that they are indeed time travelers and that there is even that which is the influence of those Ascended Beings from that which could be considered earth's future, coming back in time to assist in this process of Ascension at this time.
The Wing Makers: A Group of Future Beings
It is known that there is a group of future beings who have presented certain information in that which is the wing-makers caves, those caves that have been found where there is evidence of future humans who have come back to leave evidence of themselves to help humanity at this time. The wing-makers are indeed part of the overall equation of the development of human consciousness and the assisting of humanity at this time of great relevance and great importance.
It is seen that in 2009, more and more individuals will become aware of not only those past civilizations, but even those future civilizations who have all come to this nexus point, this fulcrum point of human evolution to assist in the process.

Van Eck phreaking
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Van Eck phreaking is the process of eavesdropping on the contents of a CRT display by detecting its electromagnetic emissions. It is named after Dutch computer researcher Wim van Eck, who in 1985 published the first paper on it, including proof of concept.[1] Phreaking is the process of exploiting telephone networks, used here because of its connection to eavesdropping.

Van Eck phreaking might also be used to compromise the secrecy of the votes in an election using electronic voting. This caused the Dutch government to ban the use of NewVote computer voting machines manufactured by SDU in the 2006 national elections, under the belief that ballot information might not be kept secret.[2][3]

[edit] Basic principle
Information that drives the video display takes the form of high frequency electrical signals. These oscillating electric currents create electromagnetic radiation in the RF range. These radio emissions are correlated to the video image being displayed, so, in theory, they can be used to recover the displayed image.


[edit] CRTs
In a CRT the image is generated by an electron beam that sweeps back and forth across the screen. The electron beam excites the phosphor coating on the glass and causes it to glow. The strength of the beam determines the brightness of individual pixels (see CRT for a detailed description). The electric signal which drives the electron beam is amplified to hundreds of volts from TTL circuitry. This high frequency, high voltage signal creates electromagnetic radiation that has, according to Van Eck, "a remarkable resemblance to a broadcast TV signal"[1]. The signal leaks out from displays and may be captured by an antenna and fed into an ordinary television. However, for proper image display the synchronization signal must also be intercepted or recreated, otherwise the image will be interpreted incorrectly. The electron beam is deflected by electromagnetic coils, according to the synchronization signals being fed to them. This deflection aims the beam at different pixels in turn. These signals also escape the display and may be captured. Alternatively, one may simply recreate a synchronization signal, adjusting it until the intercepted image is displayed properly[1].

In the paper, Van Eck reports that in February 1985 a successful test of this concept was carried out with the cooperation of the BBC. Using a van filled with electronic equipment and equipped with a VHF antenna array, they were able to eavesdrop from a "large distance".


[edit] LCDs
In April 2004 new academic research has revealed that flat screens and laptop displays are also vulnerable to electromagnetic eavesdropping. The required equipment for espionage was constructed in a university lab for less than 2000 US dollars.[4]


[edit] Countermeasures
Countermeasures are detailed in the article on TEMPEST, the NSA's standard on spy-proofing digital equipment. One countermeasure involves shielding the equipment to minimize electromagnetic emissions. Another method, specifically for video information, scrambles the signals such that the image is perceptually undisturbed, but the emissions are harder to reverse engineer into images. Examples of this include low pass filtering fonts and randomizing the least significant bit of the video data information.


[edit] In popular culture
In Neal Stephenson's 1999 novel Cryptonomicon, Van Eck phreaking (of a laptop LCD) serves as a significant plot device.
Van Eck phreaking was referenced directly in the Numb3rs season one episode "Sacrifice", on an LCD flat screen rather than a CRT monitor.
Phillip Finch's 1995 novel f2f features the main character Ellis Hoile building a Van Eck scanner, and the device is used to finalize the plot of the book.
In a fifth season episode of Alias, a character suggests that they use Van Eck phreaking.
Is often referred to in Charles Stross' novel The Atrocity Archives as a danger when viewing classified information.

Your Television is a Self Hypnosis Expert

The Story of Self Hypnosis and the TV.

Do you realize that hypnosis has many forms? It is not limited to the stage antics of a hypnotized audience or even the powerful medical uses of clinical hypnosis. In fact from our earliest times to the modern day there have been skilled story tellers who have weaved mysterious tales, parables and antidotes with fact, fiction and symbolism to not only entertain the listener but to also enlighten them and change their patterns of thought, beliefs and emotions. In a similar manner Ericksonian and modern self hypnosis techniques do the same thing only they do it at a much deeper level of mind!

Just as rhymes or children's bedtime tales are told in order to not just entertain but to educate through story telling so modern self hypnosis techniques are used to educate the subconscious mind!

Movies use the principles of self hypnosis to capture their audience's imagination. In fact if they did not then they would be useless as a form of entertainment and escapism! When you watch a good movie you tend become internally involved with the characters and the plot. I'm sure you have heard critics say, or made the assumption yourself, that certain movie characters were two-dimensional and unreal. While at other times a well written script and well directed movie character played by a skilled actor becomes three-dimensional and thus believable! If you did not enter into a state of mild self-imposed hypnosis you could not get "lost" in the movie!

Likewise, a good movie will not only cause a state of self hypnosis but it will evoke specific emotional responses from us when we watch it.

Advertisers use both self hypnosis and its ability to generate emotions to their advantage! They take advantage of the fact that the viewer is already in a mild state of self hypnosis and then evoke specific emotions that they tie-in with their product!

Through another powerful self hypnosis technique, i.e. repetition, advertisers can link a chosen phrase, jingle or affirmation to certain emotional responses and their product.

Perhaps you think you are immune of these self hypnosis side-effects? Well answer this question - what is the "king of beers?" Or, finish this sentence - "Beanz meanz ......".

You mat be too young to recognize the second sentence but if you say it to any person over the age of 30 in the United Kingdom they will definitely finish the sentence for you!

Another powerful example of self hypnosis on TV is MacDonald's commercials with their famous jingle at the end. How many people have you heard singing "I'm loving it", or recited it in your own head, even though it is no longer used in their advertisements?

TV hypnotizes you! You stop being aware of your external surroundings as you become focused on what is happening on the screen. You are now in a state of self hypnosis, or light trance, and your brainwaves are displaying an alpha pattern. While in the alpha state you are highly susceptible to suggestion! As you enter this state every time you watch TV you only need to see or hear something a few times to make it permanently enter your subconscious mind.

As commercials are repeated often, and always when you are in a state of self hypnosis, you cannot help but remember key elements of them - the elements you are directed to remember!

Television can cause a state of self hypnosis. So have you ever been hypnotised by your television set?

1. Why going digital?
2. What happens to the old analog signal?
3. Why does the government (other than the obvious FCC) seem so "on board"?
4. WHY WHY WHY does no one talk about this?

Anyone have any clues about this other than the garbage reason we are being fed?

All I know is, that since the announcement of this change a few years ago, I have felt increasingly uneasy about it. I am stuck with my damn TV as my husband and stepson are not at all willing to let it go. What do you guys think about this....really.

I honestly don't see the point of this and the commercials, not to mention the "countdowns" are pretty stupid. The looks on the faces of the people in the commercials when their TVs won't work are priceless.

"Oh no, the boob tube's broke! Whatever will I do?"

Luckily, I won't need a converter box and I watch even less TV than I did a year ago and much, much less than I did 7 years ago.

Sure, there are some programs of interest that I like but mainly garbage.

Keep lobbying Francie, you won't regret giving it up. Whether you are watching **** or somethiing more worthwhile, to a degree your experience is the same
because some perceptual capacities are heightened, others are diminished, blood is pooling in your rear end, etc. I was one of the folks who grew up on it, not just with it and if there's one in the room, I'm looking at it. I love not having it in the house. Have you noticed that there are now screens when you buy gas, go into restaurants, stores, bars and on and on. Just the ubiquity of it tells me that it is far more powerful than most would give it credit for. Some of the most brilliant minds around are paid to **** with you and it comes right through that box.
Now I'll get back to spending hours and hours on the computer.

Sounds just like me and my Husband. If I could only convince him to get rid of the TV, I keep trying! But nevertheless we are fond of watching Travel and Cooking channels too.

Still, when it comes to risking watching a Mind Control Apparatus I will gladly do without TV!

One thing we have to realize is that wtshtf, a vast majority of the aware people will be in the now and this is very powerful. So all communication must be controlled to prevent kundalini from rising by instilling fear.

I did not read the entire thread to see if someone mentioned the "sound of silence" . I have a friend that works at comcast and said the digital cable will be much more interesting Wink. I really feel that the digital will allow them to put more frequency ranges into your house. Kill your T.V.

Yea, i've read several articles that said plasma tvs are two way screens. By the way, plasma means blood.

I have some privacy concerns about digital formats. (In Canada, the change occurs Aug 31, 2011 - Office of Consumer Affairs.) With analogue, the TV set is a receiver. The digital format allows for transmission (from broadcaster to user to broadcaster to user pings), so push the buttons, change this channel, surf this/that, and this user data is mined, just as it is on the internet.

I mean, the internet is an almost free resource, so we'd expect that ads should pop up, but a lot more user data is mined than the public may realize, especially with social networking and a new Google algorithm in the works for 'personalized' search results. That is, Google knows enough about you, your behaviour, your interests, your tendencies, that the search engine coughs up what It thinks You want. However, Google's not the only search engine game in town, not by a long shot at all. (I like how it serves up images, for instance.)

I think the digital format will be similarly interactive. Throw a Nintendo motion detector on top of the TV, and theoretically motion in the room could be detected? Like online gaming, e.g. Wii Fit or Yoga? Friend networks monitored? So, I wonder about the volume of data mining that may happen, without the public being aware of it.

There are some benefits though, like trying to get a grip on lawless behaviours like pedophilia and child sexual crimes. Also, I was surprised to learn that many seniors have taken to online chat, exercise and gaming as a way to connect with others; so the solitary nature of urban living and grand/ children absent due to parents' mobility/job issues is relieved - by communication and fun. And they play with their grandkids too.

If it comes to it, I'm not keen on anybody knowing what films I rent etc. or how long I watch X-Y-Z. It's nobody's business. Also, I'm a bit suspicious about the new waves of electronic equipment - new, new, new. I like record albums, VHS, film in the camera, so ..... naturally I think analogue is the people's format: cheap, easy, watch a program, get the news, turn it off, or opt out. The technology's probably way ahead of the legislation, known health effects (set's emmissions) and public awareness of privacy rights or surveillance issues. The brainwave patterns & ideas are interesting.

Thanks Jack, the question is begging. When someone comes up with the answer and it turns out to be not-so-good for us, maybe I can persuade my mate to get rid of the thing. He just bought the converter box, and the quality is now worse, very grainy, but we have a couple of more channels. Of course, he says we need to buy a new TV set. He is supposed to be the technical expert with a background in film.

But, thank goodness, it is out of our living room.

The bulk part of this message resonates with me. I have also visited the Cosmic Awareness site which is very interesting. I do notice that it is steeped in Theosophic terminology.
To the WingMaker Material I have voiced a number of expostulations on this forum. The weightiest is against posing Anu as our creator god. Who created Anu?

In Poland the government has announced that they are going to subsidize the purchase of new TVs for those with low income. Strange. They will pay so that all people can have TV.
