How would you live your life if there was a television on your head that was broadcasting your every thought?
Would you shift your consciousness and dump all the negative and hurtful stuff as soon as it surfaces and make a continuous effort only to focus on the good in others, and the world, and on what you can do to spread more goodness and light?
I came across this idea while reading a short interview with Jerry Jampolsky and Diane Cirincione, in the Fall 2010 issue of Superconciousness Magazine. I have written previously about Jerry and Diane, and in particular the Jerry’s ‘Smile that lights up the world’.
The idea of imagining a television broadcasting your thoughts is discussed here, in this short extract from the magazine interview
SC: I loved your description of your friend Hugh Prather’s idea about having a television on our heads that broadcast every thought. How would that change the way we interact?
DC: There’s this illusion that our thoughts are private. I believe that we don’t have private thoughts. We may have thoughts that somebody else can’t hear at the moment, but I don’t think that they’re private.
JJ: If we truly believed that we do not have private thoughts and that, ultimately, everything is known, wouldn’t we take responsibility for what’s in our mind, and be very motivated to let go of it? Right now we’re not motivated to let go of it because in the case of anger, we have so many other people supporting it. If everyone took responsibility for the anger that they had and found that it was hurting them, eating them up alive, then they’d begin to do something about it. The world would be very different.
Something to think about.
