If there was a dog turd outside your house would you step in it? 
What about if there was one there every day. Would you go out of your way to step in it? If not, why not?
I’m guessing you would say to me that it would ruin your day a little. The thought of it would make you sick, not to mention the smell and inconvenience. So why then do you step in one by choice several times each day?I’m speaking metaphorically of course. The spiritual?equivalent?of a dogshit is the news on the radio, the newspapers, negative people, engaging in gossip or any negative talk in fact.
I tend to listen to Radio 2 but I have to turn off at midday. Why? Because Jeremy Vine comes on and talks about his dogshits of the day. Murderers, what the government are doing wrong now,?obesity, you name it. If it stinks he will be discussing it. He even gets experts calling in.
It isn’t just his show in fact. Listen to the news and they are telling us how crap life is. We are all doing to die from BSE, bird flu, swine fever or the latest?epidemic. But of course this isn’t the problem. The problem is they supply based upon demand. If nobody listened then they would stop.
David R Hawkins who is one of the most?enlightened?people on the planet says that some people will always be attracted to that which is spiritually deleterious. The reasons why don’t really concern us here. What does is what you are putting into your life. It is very much like a sausage machine in that you get out what you put in. If you put dogshit in, guess what comes out the other end?
