Why we "vibrate"

If I were to have to pick a spiritual "genre", I'd have to say "Consciousness."

It seems to me that Consciousness is our only absolute, our only Highest Truth.

Controversial view?

Perhaps. But not if you really think about it. First, the physics:

At any point in an "objective" experience, the ONLY data that one is actually gathering is this: electrical impulses to the mind that are then translated into sights, sounds, tastes, etc, etc.

Your eyes don't see anything. They respond to light frequencies and relay that information as an electrical impulse to the brain that is then synthesized into a cohesive image.

Ears respond to differences between inner/outer pressures, i.e. sound waves, which are nothing more than particles of air striking against the ear drum. At this point, it's sent to the brain as a signal, and then interpreted as sounds, words, music, noise, etc.

Taste is the taste buds relaying signals to the brain.

Touch is nerves relaying signals to the brain.

So, as a skeptic, I have to conclude that we have no actual evidence of there being an "objective" reality in the first place. EVERYTHING is subjective. But, of course, you already know that.

So what is this "vibration" that we all seek to increase, change, modify, codify, calibrate, understand, etc? What is it that makes us vibrate in the first place?

My answer is: Consciousness.

Now, sounds like a pretty "duh" statement.

But let's cover all the other sub-genres of vibrational theory.

1) We vibrate because of atomic vibration.

Okay, sure. The electrons are popping about all around the protons and neutrons. Each "pop" of an electron creates a sort of "ripple", thus creating an overall vibration. But what causes them to do that in the first place? We're still looking at effect, and not cause.

2) It's a spiritual thing.

Fabulous! But why would a spirit vibrate?

3) Our emotions are vibrational patterns.

Absolutely, but why? Again, still effect and not cause.


So why do we vibrate?

Again...

Consciousness itself.

Here goes.

At the basic level of reality, there is is and is-not.

From these two basics, there is is-this, and is-that, along with is-not-this, and is-not-that.

However, through all the myriad of choices, there is still, at the basic level, only is and is-not.

Therefor, our vibration comes from the oscillation of consciousness between these two things.

A lower vibration is Consciousness spending more time away from "reality". A higher vibration is Consciousness spending more time in reality, via faster oscillation.

A study of how vision works will show you that we have a sort of reality shutter-speed.

A higher frequency simply means that you're more engaged with your life. Think about it.

When you're doing something you dislike, the time drags. You're "checking in" as infrequently as possible. You feel like an hour has passed, yet look up at the clock and it's only 15 minutes later.

That's because you haven't really been present the whole time.

Ever been in a "flow" state?

Time slows down, yet speeds up. A moment spent doing something you love passionately can seem like hours, and in a good way. Yet, you glance at the clock and voila, it's hours later, but you only feel like it was but a moment. You were actually present more often.

Just a thought. Enjoy!
