The Frequency

 It is difficult to hear two things at once.  If I want to meditate quietly to hear the still, soft voice of this inner power, then I need to turn down the frequency of other channels in my life.  Turn down the future-think, resentment channel, anxiety channel and so on.  I don’t read with the radio on, or sound buds active in my ears.  Outside noise, sounds, can get in the way of coming to know your deepest and truest self.  Many of us have trouble being alone in our room with no noise.  We feel lonely and solve it by turning up frequencies.  And we never get to know ourself.
