hippies & woo people or whoever talk about âhigh frequency vibrationsâ being good and âlow vibrationsâ being bad, & as far as i can tell itâs 100% semantic association with high=virtuous & low=depraved for me high frequency vibrations correspond to things like anxiety & tinnitus

low frequency vibrations correspond to things like heartbeats, the breath, the tides, the seasons, and horizons of time that reach out toward eternity whoever is talking about âhigh vibrationsâ being the vibrations of love has not considered basic physics

i guess it never occurred to me that the people using this language might actually be speaking entirely in metaphor and are not actually talking about vibrations at all. like by âhigh vibrationsâ they just mean âgood energyâ or something i always interpret it in a physical sense

some of these comments support my hypothesis that they are simply synonyms for good and bad https://t.co/QULmtk67Ve


on the other hand, many people are pushing the incoherent physical metaphor side https://t.co/RW2qQZyAst


as a person whoâs done a lot of self-transformative work, it is clear that the more at peace i become, the less, & more slowly, i vibrate (literally) when someone is âuptightâ, they are literally tight (muscle tension) and they are literally vibrating more quickly (higher freq)

@moonboi_ looool at "think: a higher perspective" like bruh that is a DIFFERENT PHYSICAL METAPHOR https://t.co/tcTO6hqa7G


@moonboi_ also uhhhh nah man if you wanna use the orchestra metaphor, high vibration just means fucking piccolos https://t.co/NHCFCsgLGA


@moonboi_ In one sense they're talking about the phenomenology of brain waves, higher frequency is smoother, more flowy, more mystical. Even higher frequency than is typically shown, HFOs up to 500Hz are known, and may be stimulated by psychedelics and near death experiences https://t.co/vNgEFg7m5y


@moonboi_ i think these people have significantly flattened the resonance model into [frequency = valence] a better (but still flat) heuristic would be [coherence = valence] this way you can mix high/low frequencies as long as they interleave with low-integer divisibility

@moonboi_ a simpler way of saying this: âgood energyâ is compatible with living systems and interoperates with them smoothly. âbad energyâ is out of sync with them and disrupts their functioning. so coherence isnât a fixed type or amount of energy, but an interrelationship between vibes

@moonboi_ feel like high and janky are different https://t.co/XQaK8ssbej
