Are you able to control instant pulse generated?
Heard something interesting over TV, while you were reading. Can you continue reading without looking at TV?
These are two instances. If one can have a pause in between these two, he/she can decide her next action, whether to look at TV or continue reading or something else.
Our usual reaction will be to look at TV. May be after some time only, we will be realizing that we were distracted from reading, by our instant pulse.
May be, that is our innocent reaction to watch TV.
May be, that is our lively response.
Now, isn’t it a bit rude upon ourselves, if we are controlling those instant pulse?
So I doubt, if I am losing that innocence.. I doubt if I am not lively..; )
In fact, that controlling is not at all my cautious decision, which happens naturally with 80 % of my actions. TV the simplest of them
Or is it like I am getting saturated?
Or am I going to be a saint.. ; )

April 8, 2016 at 5:31amOur interests towards certain liking distract us! You can be saint when you know who you are!
Akhila
April 8, 2016 at 5:33amand how will you think ourself, when that liking can’t distract you?
Sakthi
April 8, 2016 at 5:35amYou have to! When you think and keep yourself happy and you can easily make the surroundings happy! So it’s better to start from us! If you have more self control, nothing can distract you to a certain point! Most saints live in the forest to avoid distractions!
Akhila
April 8, 2016 at 5:43amhmm..so let me find my forest.. he he lol..
Sakthi
April 8, 2016 at 5:49amokay 🙂 Be aware of animals until you get used to them in the forest! I guess you have many forest in your state so you can easily chose one!
Akhila

April 8, 2016 at 6:17amThese all technologies have disturbed our peace. By using less we can overcome this. Good post
Akhila

Gama

Gama

Akhila
April 8, 2016 at 6:20amyea.. we have to..:)

April 8, 2016 at 6:21amTV frequency and brain frequency are in complete contrast and most often meddles with our mind. So, I guess we have to shut off our mind to the outside stimuli or shut off the TV for good. 🙂
Akhila
April 8, 2016 at 6:24amha.. great …how will you react if we are in a situation that we can’t shut it off either
Amitav Chowdhury
April 8, 2016 at 6:27amThen we wouldn’t be doing justice to both. Mind will be wavering from a lower to higher frequency at random and we would not register anything in the long term memory.
Akhila
April 8, 2016 at 6:31amtrue..:)
Akhila
April 8, 2016 at 7:14amha ha ..:)

April 8, 2016 at 8:41amTV is too distracting. It also stimulates so reduces relaxation.
I prefer quiet when I need to concentrate, doubt if there will ever be any beatification in my house though….
Akhila
April 8, 2016 at 9:18amthank you.. yes, we need to be out of those distracts an concentrate.

Akhila
April 8, 2016 at 11:33amthank you. Have a nice day. But my concern is THAT TV is not distracting me he he.
davekingsbury
April 8, 2016 at 12:03pmYour powers of concentration are to be commended … either that, or it’s a very good book!
Akhila
April 8, 2016 at 4:37pmI didn’t mean I was concentrated, I could hear the TV too, but I donno why I didn’t look at TV. and the TV case is one of the examples only
davekingsbury
April 8, 2016 at 4:43pmPerhaps the pictures in your mind from reading were enough …
Akhila
April 8, 2016 at 5:13pmMay be…☺
davekingsbury
April 8, 2016 at 10:36pm… in which case, sainthood beckons! We are all saturated with the global TV culture … if culture is the right word. We need to keep our simple selves alive. End of sermon. What’s on TV?
Akhila
April 9, 2016 at 7:27amon tv.. infact, it seems to be forgotten..

April 8, 2016 at 12:42pmIt simply means your conscious mind is too heavy and dominant over the sub conscious one and I don’t see any harm with it. Probably you would be getting very less or no dreams at all.
Akhila
April 8, 2016 at 4:31pmHmm..may be.
dreams, not very often, but recurring dreams.

April 8, 2016 at 1:17pmWhat a correct time of your post, i was getting distracted from my studies as I’ve my exams soon. Okay, i am still innocent 😛

April 8, 2016 at 6:29pmhehe.. interesting write up … 🙂 and i think you are not loosing your innocence , i don’t go for tv while i’m reading or doing something which is interesting to me, but i’ll ask the person who is watching the tv ( incase of my amma, incase of achan i’ll go googling about it ) after reading or what it is 🙂
Akhila
April 9, 2016 at 7:28amhe he you are so cool.. liked it…

April 12, 2016 at 12:39pmInteresting post . This reminds me of something my teacher told me long back.”If you are doing something and you hear something on television.If you leave everythin you are doing and rush to watch the tv,.your interest lies there.In case you forget the existence of your tv or mobile or any other gadgets..and continue with your work..then that is something more important to you than tv. 😀 confusuing? I still haven’t figured it out yet..as to what is more imp to me..reading or television? 😀
Akhila
April 12, 2016 at 12:45pmyour teacher had a word in favor of me..:)
But my doubt was, since we all being human, we have a natural tendency to look at TV, right.. Tv or any thing else which could catch our attention. but what will it be defined if one’s conscious mind is ruling the subconscious mind of senses..? Is that okay .. Will that be a social behavior?
nonchalantutterings
April 12, 2016 at 12:52pmyeah I understand what you are trying to say.But in my case I don’t always get distracted by the tv if i’m doing something which really interests me..for example if I’m writing a poem or an article .As to your question..i think its natural for people to get distracted.But I don’t think our conscious can rule our unconscious.When you are distracted to the television,its your subconscious mind causing the distraction.Your conscious is telling you to continue what you are doing.That’s why there is an initial reluctance and confusion as to whether one should watch tv or continue wd the job at hand.And soon when your conscious also agrees with your subconscious you get up and rush to watch the tv.( This is purely my interpretation.Don’t blame Freud for this.or even Lacan.though I have read them both. 😀 )
nonchalantutterings
April 13, 2016 at 5:33amHaha 😀 Well then I don’t know..Freud would have helped u out if he was alive .but sadly he s no more.:P But I have heard there are many psychoanalysts in France even today. Get in touch with one of them 😀
Akhila
April 13, 2016 at 5:39amhe he lol..
