English term or phrase: off station
Using this spiritual technology we also diminish our self-imposed thought-based boundaries that have disconnected us from our deepest and eternal reality. Humanity en masse is currently so off station, that we can no longer hear our deepest reverence for life: living souls.

mal sintonizada
Explanation:
Esta es la metáfora en inglés. "Station" en este caso significa emisora (de radio o televisión):

"3 a company that broadcasts television or radio programs
radio/television station: Listen to your local radio station for travel information.
a. a signal on a radio or television from a particular broadcasting company
get/pick up a station: We can't pick up the French station."
http://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/american/stati...

Así que "off station" quiere decir que la humanidad es como una radio mal sintonizada, que no recibe bien la "emisora"; por tanto, no podemos "oír" el alma.

Otra posible variante sería "perder la sintonía":

"Esfuérzate en no perder la sintonía con Dios. Es imposible que “captes” la voz de Dios y lo “veas” en medio de las circunstancias, si pierdes la sintonía con él"

"If that electric fence is causing radio frequency interference, then you should also be able to hear it on an AM radio tuned 'off station', i.e. tuned between stations."
