Rusty Radio Receivers

Many wander through life believing that they are "stuck having to listen to the show in which they find themselves." Often you will hear people say something like "that's just the way the world is" as if there was only ONE signal begin broadcasted, only one show to receive. 

We often go through life watching it as if it were a TV show over which we have no control. While we may not be able to interact and change the shows presented to us via our video mediums, life is an interactive experience. You are not the consumer of the show, YOU are the PRODUCER of the show. You have creative input to how the show turns out. We are the creators of the show, not the victims of it.

Many believe everything that we think is of our own creation. If we think something, sad, we believe we are sad. If we think about scarcity, we believe we are poor. Believing you are the transmitter of all the thoughts you receive is the weakness. In reality you are the frequency receiver and you have control of the tuner. 

We live in an Amplitude Modulated (AM) world where we vary the strength of the communication while keeping its frequency constant. This type of communication is simple to implement and inexpensive to construct, but it is susceptible to noise and interference which affects the amplitude of the signal affecting the quality of the signal.  This often results in static, or noise, or even receiving undesired stations.

If instead we choose Frequency Modulation (FM), a communication technique that encodes information by varying the frequency of the carrier wave in proportion to the amplitude of the original signal, it is the frequency of the carrier wave that is modulated relative to the strength of the signal. This produces superior sound quality compared to AM, it is highly resistant to interference from other radio frequency noise that typically affects amplitude rather than frequency, and it prevents the reception of multiple signals on the same wavelength as it locks onto the stronger signal and ignores the weaker one.

Most of your daily thoughts are automatic repetitions of the waves that you pick up from your environment, your inherited fears, the collective unconscious, and society. Like an AM radio your mind doesn't necessarily create the environmental noise and station programming: it receives it and amplifies it rebroadcasting it into the world we live in. Most of our thoughts are merely the amplified signals of the "shows" we consume.

If your dial is tuned to the strong frequency of fear on an Amplitude Modulated frequency (AM) , It's impossible for you to hear the subtle song of peace, quiet, love and abundance on a Frequency Modulated frequency (FM). 

It seems that there is a core in the universe from which we obtain knowledge, strength, and inspiration. When you have a big idea or sudden intuition, you didn't originate it, you downloaded it. Your signal vibration was high enough for your antenna to capture that information from the core. 

Well then, you may ask, if FM is so much more high fidelity, why are we living in a world full of static? Why do we keep encountering bad or lower fidelity signals? 

If you are the radio receiver in this analogy, the problem is not the music playing outside–not the environment. The problem is that your dial is rusty and stuck on the drama station.  As long as you keep consuming negative news, staying around complaining or negative people, and repeating scarcity patterns, your antenna will keep picking up the anxious thoughts of those stations. It's bad tuning. Change your frequency and/or change your channel and you will change the programs that you receive.  If you don’t like the static of AM talk radio full of bad news, select the FM dial and tune into the kind of music that you desire to hear.  Here are a couple of of steps to assist with that.

Step one: regain control of your mind.  Choose your station.

Start today. When a negative or undesired thought appears don't fight it. Don't argue with the radio. Don't curse the signal. Observe it, but, as it is an Amplitude Modulated signal there will be numerous other signals mixed in with all of the static, don't just listen for the strongest signal, reject it and listen for the more subtle signals. 

As you drive through the night on a long trip listening to AM radio it is common for the station to drift onto another stronger signal. If you don't like the signal that you are currently receiving look for the desired signals within it and wait while you keep driving through life. The station will change.

Understand that undesired thoughts are just passing station signals not your own creation. Not everything that enters your mind deserves your energy. Look for the desired signals and reject the undesired signals. This will help to start unsticking your rusty radio receiver dial. 

Step two: night tuning.

Think about this: the last station you listen to at night before sleep will be the first station that you listen to when you awake. The last frequency of the day programs the first signal reception of the next day. 

So before sleeping don't feed fear (news, problems). Spend some time thinking about the life you want. Visualize it, feel gratitude for it. The desired signal often doesn't arrive immediately, but over time (as you move on your long distance travels of life) your tuner will pick up more of your desired signals. Or read something inspiring before bed. Inspiration (literally meaning breathing in spirit) is a good lubricant for rusty radio receivers.  Leave your dial on high frequency, high fidelity, Frequency Modulation (FM) before shutting down for the night. 

The AM noise of the world will still be there. The crisis, the fears, and the doubts will keep being rebroadcasted 24/7 by humanity.  The soap opera of humanity will always be available it seems, but the difference is now you know you're in control of the dial. 

Stop being the victim of the broadcasted signals of others. Become the programmer of the frequency received to receive the signal you desire.
