What’s my true frequency?

Someone recently said, “How can people see you clearly if they aren’t on the same frequency?” A neural pathway lit up somewhere in my brain.

That’s why when we meet someone who sees us—our spirit—and we recognize their spirit, we naturally get excited. Something in us resonates. Frequencies synch.

Other times, we don’t even see certain people, and if we do, our energies don't synch—there is no resonance. They don’t see us clearly and we don't see them clearly. We don’t vibe.

This is because when it comes to sound waves, resonance is either constructive or destructive; they either synch and create a greater amplitude, or they cancel each other out and create a smaller amplitude because the waves are too different. If the two frequencies are similar but not identical, they create beats that wax and wane. They throb together in their own unique rhythm.

How can we become aware of our own frequency when bogged down with old stories, memories, thoughts, and stagnation?

Through simple self-inquiry.

Giving ourselves time and space to feel our true energy without the confines of other conditions—a busy workplace, friends who knew you when, family and their needs. Be alone. Go full hermit—whether its two hours, two weeks or two years. Let it happen. We have to sometimes reduce the external noise in order to get in touch with our true essence, our unique vibe, outside of others expectations and society’s definitions.

Last night I watched the film about Bob Dylan called A Complete Unknown. Dylan was played by the actor Timothee Chalamet, who I thought did an excellent job at portraying Dylan’s enigmatic qualities. Bob Dylan was deep, probing and enigmatic because he shirked off definition for the pursuit of his natural evolution (and perpetual expansion). We resist definition from others, and from self, when we realize how incredibly limiting those views are.

Dylan continued to expand, like a whirling, Jupiterian dervish, creating 40 albums, 600 songs, and when the songs dried up, he felt drawn to create in different ways, creating hundreds, if not thousands, of paintings, drawings and sculptures that are on exhibit. He's a creative powerhouse. Dylan didn’t want to box himself in, much less have other limit him.

And he still tours and plays music to this day.

If we let ourselves be defined by how others view us, we’ll stay stuck in another’s view of us. That's a static place to be. That's a diminished frequency. Likewise, we must release our own old views of ourselves too that can often bog us down.

If we can’t see ourselves clearly, then we'll remain out of tune with our natural frequency, but if we allow ourselves unlimited expansion, and resist definition—from others and self—we are free. Free to expand, free to be.

So how do we do this? We let go. We get in touch. We get excited–about our lives, the unknown, the endless possibilities, the creative potential that is...us.
