Truth and the media
To make a mark in this society one must be able to perform well in the electric media. Whether for radio or television it is necessary to speak quickly, fluently, and coherently. When air time can be worth hundreds of dollars per second, and the audience is greedy for continual stimulation, you are not allowed time to think. Silent pauses of even a second go down very badly, especially on radio where there is nothing to look at to fill the gaps. You must be able to open your mouth and have a deluge of words stream forth. The audience are not paying for time to think; their only request is entertainment.
When I speak it is shortly and sharply. I dole out my poison in small but deadly packages. But all good things take time. . . I administer my poison in crystalline form, which I make on the spot to meet the particular demand. The crystallizing process necessarily takes time, as fine elements must be drawn from every reach of the mind. For the poison to take effect also takes time, and for this I will wait.
In the world of spirit, more words count less. In the world of the media, more words count more. The media does not lend itself to the conveyance of Truth.
