The Resonance of the Human Soul

So there you are in the lineup of a coffee shop waiting for your order when all of a sudden your energy feels drained, or an overwhelming sense of change has affected your current mood or even the air around you. You look over your shoulder and there you see your ex-boss from a previous job, one who you certainly clashed with if not altogether despised. You didn’t even have to spark up a conversation with this person, nor even make eye contact, but the sheer presence of this person in your vicinity definitely caused a shift in energy or resonance enough to affect you. So what’s this all about? Is this all woo-woo hippy nonsense or is there something tangible happening here that can be explained

When we look at the great mind that is Nicola Tesla and his famous quote where he said “Everything is energy”, most of us may ponder a brief thought at that and pretend we understand it, or at least take it with a grain of salt, but when that person who conflicts with your energy enough so that it can be felt even without first knowing that the person came within your scope of radar, it is then when you realize “Everything really is energy!” It is how certain words or experiences trigger anxiety or other emotions in your gut. You walk into class and the teacher shouts “Pop Quiz!”, or you are at work preparing for the Monday morning meeting and the boss starts off saying “This week is performance review week.” But those moments were caused by a trigger word or sentance, your mood was fine, maybe not the happiest of moods since you’re at work rather than arriving at your beach destination, but nevertheless, it certainly wasn’t as dim before that phrase was said. But what’s this reaction that was generated just from them person’s presence?

Call it a sixth sense if you will, and don’t let it get to your head that “Oh wow so I may be psychic!” It’s a simple phenomenon or “skill” that all of us have and yet choose to ignore or brush it off as sheer coincidence. A supposed “lesser being” like your dog on the other hand exercises this skill all the time. Your dog knows when you’re home even before the doorbell rings, and you don’t even have to drop an “F-bomb” upon entering your house for the dog to know that you had a pretty bad day at work. So is the dog more superior to you now? You could look at it that way if you want, but how about instead that your dog is actually tapping into something that’s been there all the time and is all around us, and that something simply is energy.

So how do you tap into this? How do you incorporate it into your daily life rather than by “accident”. First of all realize that you use it all the time, you feel it all the time, and you use it to determine the kind of people you want to surround yourself with. A lot of times you don’t even have to muster in a sentence to know how that first date with the person sitting across you is going to go, and just like your dog, you know how the person who is closest to you is feeling most of the time without even needing to ask them but you ask anyways. “How are you feeling? Did something happen today?” reply “I’m FINE!” and you definitely know they’re not fine. Many men know the golden rule that sometimes “No means Yes, and Yes means no”. “Is it fine that I go watch the game with the boys instead of coming shopping with you this afternoon?” Even before you see her expression or hear her reply of “Sure do what you want”, you know that changing plans will cause conflict with her.

One way that you can use this “gift” let’s call it to your advantage is to see how you feel around certain people. Ever wonder how some people, it can be family or friends, drain your energy just by being around them. They didn’t have to say anything, or push you over but yet you feel tired, and start yawning. As an extension to this, if you engage in conversation with them, do you notice how no matter what you say it always ends up being a tennis match of words and sentences going back and forth without any resolve or solution to said topic. Now all of a sudden you’re very tired and in order to take back your energy this rally of words escalates into a full on “War of words”. It goes back and forth until one party convinces the other that they’re right and you’re wrong! Only problem is nobody wants to give in, now all of sudden the simplest task you had to perform that day such as mowing the lawn, or dropping some garments off at the cleaners, feels like a monumental mission! This is all due to the simple exercise of energy exchange between two people who don’t really resonate on the same frequency. It’s like putting together two batteries of different voltages and expecting them not to short each other out, or jump starting a car and placing the cables in the wrong polarity.

Isn’t it strange though that some of us seem to be a glutton for punishment, or self-masochist if you will. We know how that person makes us feel each and every time we’re around them and yet we continue to seek that person's presence. Us humans are a strange bunch! We get use to that negative energy of argumentation or complaining as it drives a sort of buzz or raises our endorphins as we try and raze a response or try and convince the other person of your cause or take on a particular situation or belief. Now wouldn’t it just be easier to be around people who “resonate” with your frequency more? What a thought! It seems so hard yet so easy, but for someone who is so used to complaining and being in an argumentative state most of the time when around people, this almost seems like as impossible a task as turning iron into gold!

When you choose to be around people who make you feel more elated by presence alone, or someone who shares the same interest as you, you definitely feel more at ease and not anxious at all! Now rather than having to engage in the act of “stealing” energy from each other, that energy exchange between the two parties happens naturally, willingly, and certainly not by force! Now these people don’t even have to share the same views, or beliefs as you but you can both have a mutual respect for each other’s mindsets and not have to convince each other of your thoughts and beliefs in order to be around them. You can use this in finding out the kind of career you want, person you want to marry, friends you keep near and dear to you. Rather than keeping in contact with a bunch of people you argue with, in a battle for energy, approval and stroking of the ego, you can keep a few close friends who actually resonate with you. Quality not quantity!

We have a finite resource of energy to play with on a daily basis, just like gas in your motor vehicle tank. And if the majority of that energy is spent being around people who don’t resonate with you, or a job that doesn’t vibrate with your frequency, and if you’re a raging self-masochist, hobbies that you don’t even like engaging in but do so just to belong to a group or be around those same people who don’t even resonate with you. Now you’re definitely exhausting you energy and running on fumes by the end of the day! And this is where the bad habits come in. Trying to get that spent energy by stealing it from other people, this is where the popular term “Energy Vampire” comes from. You’ll hear this term described by some people to refer to someone at work or in your social circle, and when you’re around that person, even before learning what an energy vampire is, you feel it within minutes. Another way people try to recover precious energy wasted is through nefarious activities or habits, or consuming stimulants such as coffee, eating high sugar processed foods that give you that “high” of endorphins, and if that’s not enough… Well we won’t get into the other more “illegal” endorphin releasing substances!

So whoever came up with the term “keep your friends close but your enemies closer” must have been a raging glutton for punishment or self-masochist!

Is it any wonder why the majority of the geniuses in the World seem aloof around most people and choose to keep close with only a handful of people? Are they just pompous folk who think they’re better than most people or are they acting and resonating at a level of “Sheer Genuis?”
