Energy. When we think of energy we usually relate it to something tangible, like a stove or a light bulb. But what about the energy we cannot see? How is it created? Can we create, through positive brain waves, a law of attraction? As the book "The Secret" suggests, can it really be as simple as thinking what you want into existence?To be honest, I have no fucking clue.
All I have to go by is my experiences, and I've felt the effects of invisible energy many, many times in my life. For those of us who are music lovers, we typically love music for precisely what I'm talking about- energy. Think of your favorite song. Chances are it's your favorite song because it makes you feel good; it elicits a positive response from your brain. You sing at the top of your lungs (when nobody is around, of course), letting yourself go, succumbing to the rhythms and melodies as your heart bursts with happiness. The song ends and you feel like you've just run a marathon, and won. That's energy.
OK so hear me out. For a while now, I've been thinking about things I don't really understand, and one of them is frequencies. There are certain frequencies associated with different things, for example, genetic biochemists use the Solfeggio frequency of 528 Hz to repair broken strands of DNA. Think about that for a moment. There are people out there manipulating DNA, the fucking blueprint of life, through sound. What?!? So, in my constant effort to "figure it all out," I've been thinking about the relationship between brain waves and the natural frequencies of the Earth. I know this is going to sound all Avatar, but I truly believe that when you see somebody doing something exceptionally well, like Tiger stepping up to the tee and knocking the piss out of the ball, they are able to do that because their energy and the Earth's energy are in harmony. Thoughts are caused by little electrical sparks. These sparks create energy. Energy emits waves. Waves can be detected as sound. The Earth is constantly spinning. Spinning produces energy. The Earth produces sound as well. Simultaneously sounded notes produce harmony, or a sound that has a pleasing effect. Is it really so hard to imagine, then, that a state of unconscious perfection (or zen) is attainable by simply figuring out your notes and syncing them with the Earth's song? That was a gay analogy, but think about it. When people say some hippie shit like "I am one with the earth", who the hell are we to say they aren't?
It's a stretch, I know. But, there is an energy that we cannot see, science has proven this. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to call it science. Personally, I've been trying to put a lot of positive energy into the world over the past few days, and something is happening. Those fleeting moments of mindless connectedness I've been getting during meditation are beginning to happen more frequently. Usually I get so excited when I realize I'm having one of these moments (holy shit, I'm really doin' it!) that I snap myself right back into thinking about thinking. But when I can let the thoughts come and go, independent of any agenda, I can feel the hum of the Earth, and it seems to be bringing positive things to my life. I haven't been able to make it last longer than a few seconds yet, but the clarity and calm I feel as a result of these close encounters of the zen kind is, in a world, exhilarating.
Something's going on, I can feel it...and thankfully I no longer have to look for the answer as to what that "something" is. It's energy.
