I was lost in thought on the idea of frequency and rhythm and how important they may actually be. Rhythm is everywhere. It's the rate of our heart beat. It's the speed that we walk. We find it the way that we speak and the thoughts that we think. Rhythm is everywhere. It's possible that we might be able to identify ourselves to these particular rhythms that we hold, that it becomes a frequency of behavior, an undulating frequency of personality.
I feel that these frequencies aren't, or can't be, static, that they change as we come into contact with other frequencies and rhythms around us. The music that I listen to makes my foot tap, the steps I take make my head bob. That girl on the train makes my heart race. We're operating on variable frequencies that are subject to change.
What happens if the frequencies or rhythms that we operate on are off, or dissonant to the frequencies around us. Would that make us uncomfortable? Could we sense if someone else is off? Is it possible to actively tune ourselves to specific frequencies? Is there an overarching frequency, one that is the base of all others?
How wonderful that would be, yeah? What if the big puzzle of the universe is all about finding the right tune? What if meditation is just tuning yourself in the morning to keep the same tune all day? What if good things happen to bad people just because they've found a frequency that works, that it's not a moral thing but just good timing? What if bad things happen to good people because one bad thing happened and they just couldn't get back in step? What if nothing changes for some people because they're never exposed to any new rhythms? What if they refuse to change their own rhythm, regardless of how bad things are, just because they're used to it? What if they can't dance?
The secret to someone's life may be hidden in the rhythm that they keep. How can we find this rhythm? How can we keep a rhythm? Can we tune to other people? Are other people tuning to me? Can I disrupt the rhythm of those around me? Am I doing that already? Can we get a group of people in the same rhythm without their knowing? Or are we always aware of our rhythm on some level? Can I tune other people?
Can I find my own rhythm? Can I distinguish it from other rhythms? Can I describe my rhythm? How to go about this? What to listen for?
There's a story here. I'll look into this.
