Being a free thinker is like having the power to change the station on the radio.
Thought patterns are like the different frequencies received through the stereo system, which we call the Mind.
We’ll never be able to change our life if we’re still on the same station.
And avoiding the station will not change the station either; what we resist persists.
So…how do we change the station?
First, we must become aware that are thoughts are just thoughts.
They are not solid.
They are not real.
They are like clouds…passing through atmosphere in waves.
And most of us notice the sky appears most beautiful when there are no clouds…no thoughts.
Sure there are also cloud patterns…mental concepts…that are elegant as well.
But when there are no clouds, no noise, we witness the pure nectar of life.
So…once we’ve become aware that we are simply experience a thought pattern…that we are simply tuned into a specific station…we must simply acknowledge that.
Pure awareness + pure acknowledgment without the need or desire to change our experience brings us to acceptance…
And it’s only once we accept our current radio station for what it is that naturally, the station changes.
Sometimes to a new station…
Sometimes the radio turns off…
And something else turns on…
Something else wakes up…
And that’s when the free thinker notices the abundance of options, the freedom to choose any station.
Now…what station will you tune in to? Or out to?
