media cleanse | David M Masters

You’ve heard it before: “I don’t watch the mainstream media.” And yet, so many of the same people proudly announce they get their “truth” from alternative sources. But here’s the hard truth: it’s all still news. And all NEWS carries vibration. Whether it’s broadcast through corporate media, whispered through a so-called “insider channel,” or delivered by a fiery alternative influencer on social media, it’s still designed to do one thing, disrupt your peace.

Let’s have a little fun with this. If we reframe the word NEWS, maybe it looks something like this:

N.E.W.S. – Negative Energy Working Subversively.

Because that’s exactly what it does. It sneaks in under the radar, stirs up your emotions, and fractures your sense of calm. You think you’re staying informed, but what’s really happening is that your attention is being hijacked.

Your energy field, that invisible but powerful sphere of thought, emotion, and vibration around you, is disrupted every time you engage with low-vibration media. Anger, fear, outrage, self-righteousness, these are the emotional tools of manipulation.

When you tune in to any of it, you become a participant in the energetic economy of chaos.

Let’s not forget what news was designed for in the first place.

Back in the day, news was created to sell newspapers. That’s it. Sensational headlines, emotional hooks, and exaggerated stories were the tools of the trade. The more upset people got, the more papers sold.

Today, not much has changed, the platforms have just evolved.

Whether it’s clicks, subscriptions, shares, or algorithms, news still exists to make money off your attention. The outrage, fear, and despair you feel after reading or watching are not accidental side effects. They’re the product.

And it doesn’t matter which side you think you’re on. The system wins as long as you’re emotionally invested.

So you switched from CNN to YouTube. From Fox to Telegram. From The Washington Post to Substack. Congratulations, you’ve changed seats in the same theater. You’re still being entertained, distracted, and energetically drained.

The real danger isn’t that the stories are true or false, it’s that you keep giving your energy away to them. Every headline you read, every “urgent” post you click, keeps you locked in reaction instead of creation.

You can’t create peace while you’re defending your outrage.

The Power of a Media Cleanse

If you truly want to reconnect with your inner harmony, try something radical: a complete media cleanse. No news. No scrolling. No “updates.” No talking heads, no truthers, no commentators.

For a week, a month, or however long your spirit calls you, just step away.

- Watch what happens.
- The mind begins to quiet.
- Appreciation and gratitude rise naturally.
- Compassion starts to take the place of cynicism.
- Love fills your heart again.
- Your body even begins to heal, because your energetic field is no longer under siege.
- You start to feel a new lust for life.
- The fog lifts, and suddenly, you’re not reacting to the world, you’re creating it.

The truth is, you don’t need a newsfeed to tell you how to feel or what’s real. The only broadcast worth tuning in to is the one inside you, the direct connection you have with God, Source, the Universe.

When your vibration is high, you become your own reliable source of clarity, compassion, and truth.

So maybe NEWS stands for something else, too:

N.E.W.S. – Nourish Energy With Silence.

Because sometimes, the most profound update you can receive is no update at all.
