Vibrations



"Everything is energy and that is all there is to it." Match the frequency of the reality you want and you can't help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics. ~ Albert Einstein

My good friend Randy Hoel posted this on Face Book and it reminded me of a topic that was floating around in my mind. This is the concept used with "The Secret". This is the concept that gets results in sports, sales and all winning activities. After all Einstein is the one who said that all matter is energy so then all matter is composed of vibrations. The kids said it best when they identified with "good" vibes and "bad" vibes.

Consciousness may be thought of to consist of cognition and perception. The senses touch, sight, smell, hearing and taste bring to the brain the things of what we call the real world. And they do this by taking the vibratory signals and sending them through the nervous system to the receptors in the brain. At that point the cognitive part of the brain gives meaning and purpose to those signals and the whole process can be considered a mental chemistry. And in a very simplistic way the brain can be looked at as a radio station... one that receives and interprets vibrations while at the same time the whole body for example is sending its own set of vibrations out into the cosmos for the benefit of the rest of us receiving stations as well.

In a sense, so to speak, we each serve as reality for each other.

The statement by Einstein above illustrates the practice of the athlete with his 'zone', the denizen of the corporate world with his 'goals', the occultist with his 'meditation' and the devotee of the Secret with his 'collages' and the like. The Astrologer can define ones 'soul mate' if you like by finding these resonances when comparing the horoscopes of two people. Perhaps this works and perhaps this doesn't, but it sure does give explanation for the instant rapport some people show for each other.
