A New Earth
”
Why do violent films attract such large audiences? There is an entire
industry, a large part of which fuels the human addiction to unhappiness.
People obviously watch those films because they want to feel bad. What is it
in humans that loves to feel bad and calls it good? The pain-body, of course.
A large part of the entertainment industry caters to it. So, in addition to
reactivity, negative thinking, and personal drama, the pain-body also renews
itself vicariously through the cinema and television screen. Pain-bodies write
and produce these films, and pain-bodies pay to watch them.
Is it always “wrong” to show and watch violence on television and the
cinema screen? Does all such violence cater to the pain-body? At the current
evolutionary stage of humanity, violence is still not only all-pervasive but
even on the increase, as the old egoic consciousness, amplified by the
collective pain-body, intensifies prior to its inevitable demise
