VIBRATIONS

are all vibrations "good"?

i'm glad the good is in quotes lest i spend hours trying to define it. in light of this, vibrations are neutral. vibrations are the defining element of all things. since the building blocks that make up my house. my computer, and myself are all made up of the same particles it is the vibration that defines our differences. a desk would cease to be a desk if it vibrated at a different rate. thus certain vibrations construct material and others destroy it. if one would like to imagine that destruction of matter is bad then some vibrations could be considered bad also.

resonance in my world:

this is an interesting idea for me. i have lately been observing what i term resonance on the emotional level. it appears that various emotions vibrate at different rates. i find that these vibrations have the characteristics of resonance. for example, if someone with an angry streak is in close proximity to someone who is angry at the moment the latent anger in the former resonates to it and the potential for it to become manifest becomes greater. this can easily be observed in witnessing an argument develop between two people. have you ever tried to argue with a person who is simply calm and happy? it wont last very long. the two emotions are not resonating. we see this resonance all the time -- laughter is contagious, smiles are traded on the street, etc.

connections i can make between energy and qi:

qi is energy. even in it's most subtle form it is at least "energy potential". it has a wave of yin and yang, it vibrates, it moves, etc. all the characteristics of qi can be explained in terms of the western idea of energy.
