In this brief monologue, spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle warns that consuming certain forms of media—particularly horror movies that depict dreadful events and certain types of music—can lower the "frequency" of a person’s consciousness. He likens this to eating toxic food: if one knows something is harmful, they would avoid it, yet many people willingly expose themselves to these harmful media. Tolle urges listeners to become aware of the energetic quality (frequency) of the media they ingest, to question what is being expressed, and to choose content that supports higher consciousness rather than invites negative influences.

Chapters

If you watch horror movies where the most dreadful things happen, that can lower your— the frequency of your consciousness, and then you're open to invasion. If you knew, knew this food is toxic, would you eat it? No, you wouldn't. But people watch the most toxic things. There's also certain types of music that are very destructive and toxic, also that they would lower your frequency So you have to be careful and just be aware of what is the frequency of that music, what are they singing about, if you can call it singing. And sometimes they are horrible, unbelievable.
