The Antidote.

So if we reject the poison and propaganda in our popular culture what do we replace it with?

Rock music can be replaced by classical music, especially sacred choral music.

And we can contemplate religious and spiritual images like Michelangelo and Fra Angelico - angels, light, heaven etc..

News propaganda can be replaced by Internet activism.

And sports can be replaced by volunteering.

Prayer, study, and charity keep us free from evil.

But there still remains the effects which come across the collective unconscious.

The collective unconscious is our link to the whole of humanity.

So there are positive and negative influences.

If we emphasize the positive thoughts and feelings that enter our minds and spirits and counter the negative ones we will be heading in the right direction.

It is not possible to eliminate all of the negative influences which come across the collective but if we can identify and name the sources we can pray for them to be redeemed.

God does not destroy evil people.

He redeems them through Love.
