Constructing the Radio
The first question that we face as cosmic radio aficionados is how
to construct the Radio RECEIVER. Without the receiver we are out in the
middle of the desert with no help and no company. But before actually starting the
construction we must acquire certain skills and knowlede. What exactly is a Radio
Receiver? What are its parts? How do they go together? What function does each part
occupy? Once the radio is built, how do you turn it on? How do you tune it?
These are all questions that must be answered carefully and
methodically. The questions must be deeply understood at every level, swallowed completely
and digested, for a real answer to emerge. For this to happen, we have to go beyond
intellectual concepts and metaphors, we will have to get our hands a bit dirty. Along with
the theoretical explanations we will include Experiments
Introduction
Explain the basic ideas that we are to work with:
- The reception of signals from elsewhere
- The need for a structure for these signals to be received
- The need for the structure to be turned on
- The need to tune the structure / radio
Section 1: Signals
Radiations throughout the Universe
Electromagnetic Spectrum, the many forms that
radiations take, matter as constrained Radiation, the relation between speed and
frequency, timbre, beats and notes
Intelligence in the Universe – Magic vrs
Science
Randomness, Information Rich signals, "Understanding a
signal" ("Understanding as resonance"), the many brains, the assumption of
supreme intelligence by science, the Universe itself as intelligent, intelligent radiation
showers from the skies
Carrier Waves and Modulation
How a message is modulated into a frequency, the many
carrier waves all around us, how to translate the many messages, (Quote from HP
Lovecraft), the objective is to make speak the message of the high frequencies out loud
Different Universal Stations and Radio Bands
The many maps for the higher planes, the Gods of
Santeria and the Greek Myths, our organs of perception, the chakras, the "higher
perception organs"
Mythological and Metaphysical Maps as organization of frequency bands
Section 2: Reception
How does a Radio pick up a signal?
How does it separate it from all the other signals?
How does it translate it into audible sound?
Possesion and Santeria
The process of becoming a horse for a God, the
difference between the Babalao and the Horse, the ways different Gods are brought down
Gods and Humans in Greek Myths
Rereading different passages of The Illyad and the Oddysey as radio
reception, the Gods as radio channels
Music as a path to resonance and Reception
Music as structured frequency, harmonization and
resonance, music as a way to make different human machines operate as one for short
periods of time
Section 3: Constructing the Radio
The parts of a Radio (structure and
organization)
Go through the different parts of a radio, make
references to the equivalent possible human job. Outline the process of
"reception" and "tranlation"
2 Isomorphisms: to a group of people and to an individual
*Emphasize Group Work
Bringing the right people together (at the
right time)
Not everyone or anyone should be there, picking the right people,
different structures for different moments and for different results, sometimes less is
more, don’t hold on to them!
Working with whatever is there – the "diorama"
Allowing each part to do its job (we are not
all the same!)
We are not all the same, allow each part to do what it does best
(usually being what it enjoys the most!), allow each part to make its own choices for its
own purposes
Section 4: Turning the Radio on
The flow of electricity turns the Radio
on
The flow of electricity in a physical radio, where it comes from,
how it moves through it and allows the other parts to work
Breath and flow
Eternal Flow
The essentials for electricity to flow: a
closed circuit, firm connections, etc.
Going over the details of the electrical cords, the connections in
between, the isolation mechanisms, the safety precautions
Closing the space – Allowing inside only
what’s needed
The Banishing Ritual, the cleansing, closing in all dimensions (in
space, time and the higher dimensions), safeguarding the space
Establishing the connections – Contact
Establishing contact between the participants, the importance of
looking and feeling each other, call and response (the One to the Many), the organic
flowing call and response, the group conversation, listening is more important than
playing!, holding back, letting go, choosing the right moment to go wild!
Setting up different roles for people – to correspond to different parts of the
radio.
(For example: 1 person is the "pulse", the beat, 2 person is the movement
forward, the rhythmic adornments, 3 person is the emotion – vocals?- , 4 person is
the intellect – harmony? Form?)
Allowing the energy to flow – Any block
stops the whole circuit
Any part of the circuit can stop its flow, when you feel the flow
waning start a new proposal and push it through, being conscious of the precense of the
energy and your relationship to its flow, connecting with others means letting go of
yourself, being ridiculous is good for you!
Terminating the space
"What is said here, stays here", being quick and formal in
the closing (without being mechanical), the importance of concentrated effort
Section 5: Tuning the Radio
How does the tuner on a Radio work
Explain the physical way in which a Radio tunes making references to
possible analogies in the human world
Arranging the Radio to pick up different
signals
The tools of magic: colors, implements, artifacts, prayers.
Resonance – Frequency, Rhythm, Pattern
The relation between different frequencies and different maps of the
higher planes, rhythm and pattern in different traditions, The Iching, the Tarot
Types of Resonance
The Beehive Principle
Getting out of the Way – Becoming the
Vessel
Knowing when it’s working and getting out of the way!
