There exists today an overarching, all-encompassing, ever present force of “civilization” that continues to expand…

It’s influence is everywhere…it is ubiquitous…it has invaded almost every aspect of our daily lives…

For most of us…it’s been in front of our faces since as long as we can remember…and even now…as you read these words…its influence is directly felt.

Most of what we claim to know and believe today streams through this medium.

Medium plural?

MEDIA

Welcome to the Media Matrix.

We are all captivated by it…the sports, the news!, the dopamine hits, the pics, the shows, the research,…. the likes!

What would we ever do without this thrusting force of technology always at our finger tips..keeping us informed about what is going on?

But at what cost?

Have we lost something in all this media madness?

I know I did….myself.

In my search for help with this newly discovered addiction I came across a wonderful program.

Media Addicts Anonymous.

That is why this week it’s my absolute pleasure to introduce our guest Cindy Barlow!

Cindy is the co-creator of this version of the 12 step program applying these time tested principles of recovery to media addiction…she is also as a Daoist, massage therapist, an actress, a hypnotist, and an author.

This week we discuss media as an addiction.

How can we free ourselves from it’s grip?

And why would we want to?

What does media sobriety even look like?

What would life be like if we just said NO! and stepped out of the media matrix?

Does it get better?

There is a huge cost to this information overload that we are collectively immersed in…

Were we meant to be so painstakingly “informed” all the time?

Is it okay just to simply not know some things?

All this and much more will be covered in this weeks broadcast.

Dr. Macasaet is prescribing red pills tomorrow so come take one with us and see how far the rabbit hole goes!

Step away from the madness and come back to yourself.

Come see what a life without media looks like!

Because the Matrix has you

Conscious Bro Out!!!
