11. OVERLOADING THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND OF THE YOUNG

Today, I was in a local town with my family and I noticed many people, adults and children, walking around the town looking for something, with their Internet ‘phones in their hand. It was not the usual addictive behaviour that I have seen on the streets in the last few years, with people clutching a Smartphone in one hand and looking every few seconds at the screen, in the hope that someone has sent a message.

On this occasion, one person would stop, creep to a specific place that had been pre-planned by the creators of some new craze and zap it. I inquired what was the purpose and was told that it is a new exciting game! Everyone will be playing it soon!

Yesterday I heard on the national news that a few people engaged in this new craze had walked into cars, into one another, some had been using their ‘phones in public view and were robbed at gun-point, others have fallen off cliffs and a host of other accidents, which the makers of this new game did not envisage when they planned it, especially the effect on young children when engaging in it, looking at both their ‘phone and the real world as they hunt out this ‘exciting’ new virtual image!

This addiction to the new craze and immersion into something that the makers claim will take the young out of their bedrooms and get them walking, concerns me. What a clever way of getting humans to become addicted and make tons more money? For what? Did the makers contrive this game because they knew they would create an immediate, ‘must-have’? The world’s press and television has certainly promoted this new game, perhaps subliminally, and has reported it throughout the world as being much better than the last must-have app! Are the media programmes gaining financially from such coverage?

Babies are born pure. They are born out of love, and with the right nourishment they will flourish and grow, and provided parents strive to know what babies and young children truly need, and give them it, they will naturally develop into fine adults.

I am concerned that the organs of a growing child can be so easily damaged by the fast pace of modern life, which revolves around gadgets, the Internet, sensational games, films and television. We know that developing organs can be damaged by invisible rays that come from microwaves, television and computers, and that the power of a mobile ‘phone is to behold, but is the subconscious mind of a child overloaded with such things and have they created for them a new, virtual society and perhaps a virtual life?

The steadily developing subconscious brain is the part of the nervous system that stores everything a human being experiences in their life. By the time the modern world has had a strike at it and filled it with the vast array of sounds, images and sensational child-unfriendly elements of today’s society, does it cease to function in the way it was intended to, and has it become overloaded, particularly in childhood. What are the consequences of this subconscious brain overload?

By following the contents of this book, you will see that I am in earnest about helping to state the truth about childhood in relation to education.
