HypnoViews on the News Jan. 15/09 - 'Smart' T.V harms Babies' brains Toronto Star
"He noticed the baby was mesmerized by the light and sound show, and wondered why, since he 'obviously didn't understand what was being conveyed'.” This said by Dr. Dimitri Christakis in the report found on the front page of the Star Jan. 15/09.
Well I don't know what part of me becomes angry first - the teacher or the hypnotist.

So to the teacher.
Since the advent of T.V. and the increasing childcare it has been used for teachers have complained about its detrimental influence on children. Sexuality [for the most part more enacted than pursued] has moved to a far younger age. Children in grades 2 and 3 diet, dress and enact what older people are doing. Violence [easily seen on the news - death, destruction, - and cartoons - death, destruction] has been so sanitized and the child so desensitized that a built in barrier to doing it has been lowered way too far. And of course the ability to focus quietly for long periods of time to learn something [without T.V. special effects and dare I say even boring [but necessary]] has gone the way of the Dodo.

When this learned subconscious problem is noted more money is made from drugging the child into docility and giving the child the title of ADD/ADHD. But keep that T.V. going: keep the unwholesome food supplied and don't change the family way of doing things. Drugs will give the adults the instant gratification they all need. Give them peace. Drug the child.

And the victim? the child. It's why I wrote a series of stories involving special hypnosis techniques for a child to listen to and start to take back his or her own inner mindscape. Take it back from the media with media.

Now as a hypnotist the reason I'm angry.
Why oh why does it take a medical doctor to say this - a medical doctor who knows nothing of hypnosis or the subconscious. The studies and books [about using hypnosis to help children] have been written since the 1970's [yes by medical doctors but also educational specialists] telling how easy it is for children to be hypnotized [mesmerized] since they are really operating from their subconscious minds until about the age of 7. Hypnosis is wonderfully beneficial to children at this age - but because they are at that point anyway great adult responsibility must be taken to guard the child's subconscious mind.

And the subconscious loves repetition, modeling and surprise among other things. At that early age it is easily molded into ways of being and seeing. And people are amazed then that kids can't create play on their own without playgroups or adult interference or that they just want to sit mindlessly at a computer keyboard or in front of reruns, or with DVD games, eating, moving into childhood obesity, and saying school is 'boring'.

But fear not. Drugs can be bought and big Pharma supported to force that subconscious into quiescence - and believe me it is only the subconscious that can change the child for the better.

So lots of money is being made here.
Media isn't going to stop. It has lots of lawyers [just like the cigarette companies] to say it is beneficial to kids. Doctors aren't going to stop labeling. Parents aren't going to stop the easy drug quick fix. Schools aren't going to fight against the 'mesmerized' child. And big Pharma won't stop pumping out the pills. This won’t change unless we as responsible adults get out of the world trance we are living and challenge media. I know David and Goliath – but it must start somewhere.

It is only a small group of people who are seeing out of this world trance, realizing they have been mesmerized into the party line, status quo, but they are determined to step outside the box [and I mean TV., hostile music, social selling to babies, fast food and drugging] to help the child's subconscious regain the purity it started with. As this grows we will we see responsible children become responsible adults - and I believe much better adults than we have now.
