What if the human being is something like one of those old radios that required an aerial (antenna) and an earth (ground) connection in order to function?
If so, then let’s suppose the purpose of the metaphorical radio is to receive intent, the generative impulse that streams from the unmanifest into the manifest through the gap in time.
Intent has two aspects. One is the originating aspect, which is concerned with initiating new creations. The other is the fulfilling aspect, which is concerned with bringing these creations to fruition and fully realising their value generation potential.
The ‘radio’ is activated by means of the superpower Transcend the Mundane. This is a synthesis of the creative powers Openness (top of the head), Love (heart) and Groundedness (tailbone), represented by the three pink discs the image above.
In order to activate Transcend the Mundane, three conditions must be met.
1. You have faith in your heart. This is the tuning mechansm.
2. You imagine the top of your head is satellite dish receiving intent’s originating aspect.
3. You imagine your tailbone extends to make contact with the ground beneath your feet, receiving intent’s fulfilling aspect.
Activation of the superpower Transcend the Mundane awakens the superpowers Enrich the World and Create the New.
Enrich the World (creative powers Imagination and Realisation) enables you to foresee world enrichment possibilities and conceive truly original ideas for new creations with the potential to generate the imagined value.
Create the New (Conceptualisation and Manifestation) provides the impetus to flesh out embryonic concepts and introduce the fully formed creations to the world at large.
Quotes
Imagine for a moment that your consciousness isn’t a product of your brain but rather something it receives. Your brain acts as an antenna, concentrating and interpreting signals from a vast sea of awareness. This radical shift in perspective questions everything you thought you knew about the nature of your mind.
But what happens if you remove or alter the receiver? If consciousness exists independently of the brain, changing your brain’s “tuning” could dramatically shift your entire reality experience. This concept opens up incredible possibilities for expanding human perception and understanding and gives you a powerful tool to alter the quality of your reality experience.Carl Gerber (aka Kristopher Raphael), Rewiring Your Reality — The Spiritual Path to True Perception | Explore his Flowing Zone Substack
The heart not only transmits field pulses of electromagnetic energy, it also receives them, like a radio in a car. And like a radio, it is able to decode the information embedded within the electromagnetic fields it senses. It is, in fact, an organ of perception….The electromagnetic field frequencies of the heart are experienced not as colors or tastes, but as emotions….The heart is, in fact, an extremely sensitive sensory organ whose domain is that of feelings. Emotions represent the impact of specific electromagnetic spectrum carrier waves upon us, as colors are the impact of visual carrier waves.
Stephen Harrod Buhner, The Secret Teachings of Plants: The Intelligence of the Heart in the Direct Perception of Nature
Cited in Heresies of the Heart by Tom Morgan
I understand that matter, feelings and thoughts belong to the world of opposites1. If we become aware of how they act in us, we transcend these 3 levels of the material world2 and embark on the way to the 4th level3. In the same way, LIGHT4 is then able to flood down from above, uniting the 3 lower levels with its radiance.
Lili Strausz, Talking with Angels, Dialogue 32
1. “The world of opposites” is another way of saying mundane world.
2. This is labelled Created World in the diagram.
3. The fourth level corresponds with the creative power of Love, experienced in the heart.
4. Light is similar in meaning to intent.
Rick Beato: Do you write while you’re touring?
Dominic Miller: I don’t write while I’m touring. It doesn’t inspire me so much. I like to write when everything stops. I need to summon the ideas, to turn on the signals. I turn on the wifi. And I go for long walks. And I get into that creative zone. And I open the windows to creativity.Dominic Miller Wrote The Most Famous Riff Of All Time: YouTube video (1:03:43) featuring Rick Beato and Dominic Miller
If you wish to understand the universe, think of energy, frequency, and vibration.
Nikola Tesla
My brain is only a receiver. In the Universe there is a core from which we obtain knowledge, strength and inspiration. I have not penetrated into the secrets of this core, but I know that it exists.
Nikola Tesla, via Higher Perspective
… reason gets a C when it comes to the inner world, because the rational mind doesn’t even know where an idea comes from, much less the source of creativity, insight, love, beauty, imagination, and many other aspects of mind. Consciousness cannot be explained objectively, despite the hopes and claims of neuroscience. The brain functions like a radio, delivering the music of the mind, as it were.

An alternative Bergsonian [philosopher Henri Bergson—see below] understanding of the function of the brain is that it acts as a type of “receiver,” somewhat similar to a radio or television set. Drawing upon this second metaphor, Bergson postulates that the neurochemical activity of the brain does not produce consciousness, but rather enables the brain to “tune into” appropriate “frequencies” of preexisting levels of consciousness—that is, the states of consciousness that correspond to waking life, dreaming, deep sleep, trance, as well as, at least potentially, the consciousnesses of other beings. Just as the programs received by a television set are not produced by the electrical activity within the television itself, but rather exist independently of the television set, in the same way, this Bergsonian understanding of the brain/consciousness relationship postulates that consciousness is neither contained within nor produced by the brain.
G. William Barnard in his book Living Consciousness: The Metaphysical Vision of Henri Bergson, p. xxxiii, citing philosopher Henri Bergson
During an appearance on the television show BBC Breakfast, the film composer David Arnold was asked how he goes about composing music. He replied: You walk around with your aerials out and it gets delivered to you. It’s more about feeling it than thinking about it.Your brain might be tuning into intelligence – not generating it. Biophysicist Douglas Youvan believes intelligence isn’t something the brain creates, but something it connects to. His hypothesis is that intelligence is a fundamental, non-local property of the universe – existing outside of biology, waiting to be tapped by structures complex enough to interface with it. This idea draws from quantum theory, where certain properties of a system remain undefined until observed. Much like Schrödinger’s cat being both alive and dead until measured, Youvan suggests that intelligence exists as potential – not locked in the brain, but in an underlying “informational substrate” of the universe. To explore this, Youvan looks at how biological and artificial systems behave. Enzymes, neurons, and even neural networks in AI often exhibit patterns that are not just reactive but predictive – suggesting they may be linking into rules or information beyond their own architecture. In particular, he notes the fractal geometry of neurons, which mirrors patterns found throughout nature, from river deltas to galaxies. These recursive structures, he argues, may be optimized to interface with information embedded in the fabric of reality.

Imagine that you are a Kalahari Bushman and that you stumble upon a transistor radio in the sand. You might pick it up, twiddle the knobs, and suddenly, to your surprise, hear voices streaming out of this strange little box. … Now let’s say you begin a careful, scientific study of what causes the voices. You notice that each time you pull out the green wire, the voices stop. When you put the wire back on its contact, the voices begin again. … You come to a clear conclusion: The voices depend entirely on the integrity of the circuitry. At some point, a young person asks you how some simple loops of electrical signals can engender music and conversations, and you admit that you don’t know—but you insist that your science is about to crack that problem at any moment.
