THE SOUND AND FURY (EXCEPT NOT FAULKER)
I have never read any Faulkner but I have thought a lot about how everything is sound and frequency
THIS IS A JOURNEY INTO SOUND.
Eric B. & Rakim - Paid in Full - this song entered my consciousness and then somehow this newsletter spilled out and it all makes sense to me and I cannot explain further, ty
PREAMBLE: I’ve never read The Sound and Fury - but something within me loves titles of things I don’t actually know about and using them as entry points into deeper exploration and explanation of completely unrelated concepts. I was listening to Paid in Full in my brain (you do that too, right?) when I was struck with this understanding that somehow, everything at its very core is a journey into sound.
So come with me as I take you into my inner workings as I synthesize all the information I’ve read over the past 15 or so years !!
Like Faulkner - consider this a great work, a summation of everything I know, my magnum opus! This is non-linear work. The world of energy and reality creation and manifesting and Human Design, none of these processes are linear. All of them are entry points into a new way of seeing and experiencing your world. Just as I use extremely random culture references, these are all loosely related concepts that fit together in a circle, not a line.
We are sound! We are frequency!!!
My working theory on Manifesting (reality creation) is this -
the body’s consciousness is the subconscious
through understanding the body we can work with our natural rhythm
getting on board with the body alters our energetic frequency, creating coherent waves
we can tune into different experiences by bringing all of our energy (frequency) into the same space of alignment
magnets and sound, magnets and sound (to the tune of the berries and cream, IYKYK)
FOUNDATIONAL TO ALL ENERGY WORK IS UNDERSTANDING THAT EVERYTHING IS HOW YOU SEE IT. ALL SEEING IS SUBJECTIVE. FIGHT ME.
THE BODY IS THE MAGNET, THE MAGNET IS YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS, GETTING IN TUNE WITH YOUR BODY MEANS YOU ARE NOT DENYING WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH YOUR BODY, YOU ARE PRESENCE EMBODIED.
Let’s start with this - we can use the world around us to engage in what I like to call energy parkour:
energy parkour - we have the ability to use the mundane in new and interesting ways to skyrocket ourselves into different spaces, new perspectives, open up new pathways of thinking, being, doing.
Parkour is creative, improv, jazz - we can become energy artists wherever we are, all that’s needed is a willingness to see in a new light.
ANYTHING + EVERYTHING IN OUR FIELD OF PERCEPTION CAN BE USED AS A FOOTHOLD INTO A NEW REALITY (POV) YES I AM NOW MIXING METAPHORS AND THROWING IN A REFERENCE TO CLIMBING BUT WE’RE DOING IT LIVE.
energy parkour in action: An episode of Neil deGrasse Tyson’s Cosmos about Michael Faraday connected so many dots for me in my energy work. Kid’s science shows are really amazing in how they break down concepts, I highly recommend this series!
Michael Faraday’s work established the ideas of magnetic fields around all living things - so as I’m watching this kid’s science show, I’m realizing that it explains how the aura works in Human Design. You never know what’s going to open your mind to a deeper understanding!
But I think about this episode all the time in relation to my Human Design work - the science behind magnets grounded this esoteric idea of auras into something I could really dig into. If we are magnets, auras are our magnetic field. CHEW ON THAT.
The body is the magnet. Our body is setting our auric field. ultimately we are all magnets moving through space attracting and repelling each other. This concept is foundational to my work with reading Human Design charts.
SO I’M A MAGNET…?
YES AND ISN’T IT FREEING??
THINK ABOUT IT- if we are magnets sending out an energetic frequency, colliding with our experiences through electromagnetic attraction (we could go into the idea of fixed fate vs free will here, but that’s for another letter, lol) - our best bet is to relax into our body and take the ride.
I believe we are dynamic in our ability to shift our frequency. We are scrambling our frequency when we’re working against our body and we are unscrambling our frequency when we are in harmony with the body.
our body is sending out the frequency because the body is the magnet.
By understanding what’s happening in the body and literally getting on board with the body instead of restricting, repressing, denying the body we can vibe with our energetic frequency instead of being baffled by it.
By practicing presence and learning how your body is feeling we can then gather or energy and begin to dial into a different reality with intention.
SAID ANOTHER WAY: Chaos in our outer experience can be calmed through internal coherence.
Is all hell breaking loose for you? The fastest way to jailbreak yourself is through body-based practices. HOWEVER IF YOU ARE ENGAGING IN BODY BASED PRACTICES WITH THE INTENTION TO CHANGE, RESTRICT, DENY YOU WILL LIKELY TUNE OUT THE NATURAL MESSAGES COMING THRU TO GET YOU ON BOARD.
YOUR MIND MUST BE OPEN TO THE WISDOM AND AWARENESS OF THE BODY.
WE ARE SOUND, WE ARE FREQUENCY. When you begin to find your natural resonance (aligning with your body) you are becoming a tuning fork for new experiences. Alignment within yourself changes things externally!!!
Bright coherence frequency rings as clear as a bell. As you unscramble your signal, you are unifying your signature frequency into one tonal OMMMMMMMMMMMMM
THERE IS NO OPTION BUT REORGANIZATION!!!
AS your energy frequency beams clearly, it forces a change in the way you interact.
IF IT FEELS SELFISH TO FOCUS ON SELF REMEMBER THIS
If you are in harmony- it helps other people get into harmony too.
Our body is in communication with us all the time.
we have to establish a rapport with our bodies to tune into our own unique guidance.
As energy beings, becoming aware of this innate intelligence is the point of Human Design, manifesting, reality creation...whatever your “in” to this world is - it all begins with the body !!!
We can facilitate change (Manifesting) when we can surf the present moment.
energy surfing: presence: the art of detaching from our expectation for the future and being untethered to the past.
The Power really does exist in being present (a Louise Hay tenet)
What we don’t talk about much is how much practice it takes to be present. Embodiment is another way of saying presence. If we are IN our bodies, we are present.
Physical practices like breath work, yoga, dancing, walking… all of these can be wonderful avenues to develop presence.
It takes practice to be in the body and in the moment. But frequently the starting point for a lot of self-development is predicated on already knowing how to be present.
When I realized this, I blew my own mind.
Why weren’t programs working for me that were working for other people?
BECAUSE I WAS (and still am frequently) LIVING IN MY MIND.
Presence had to be a foundation first. It’s a critical element we are frequently missing (OR SKIPPING)
Our instant gratification world makes it seem like we can meditate once and then solve all our problems.
I know I love to put pressure on myself to go from 0 to 100 with anything.
Because I AM IMPATIENT.
So before I can do anything- I have to practice cultivating presence. BUT HERE’S THE FUN PART - DEVELOPING PRESENCE IS THE FORMULA TO MANIFESTING!! IF YOU ARE PRESENT, YOU HOLD THE POWER TO ENERGY PARKOUR YOURSELF ANYWHERE.
PRESENCE IS A PRACTICE. We cultivate it with intention and attention.
We are rewarded from practicing because we access our power through this presence.
This is what I am taking into 2024.
If you’d like to take this further, I’ve added a whole list of resources you can explore - and I also recommend taking some time to journal and reflect on how you show up FOR YOURSELF.
My door is always open for 1:1 work - you can respond to this email to inquire
a non-exhaustive list of work that has led me to these conclusions:
Our Lord, Goop (this was my gateway drug to Gay Hendricks which I read after the ICONIC conscious uncoupling announcement)
More to come. Blessings to us all.
It’s giving Rick Realness. Presence by practice. Into it. 😌
