The longer I live, the more deeply I learn that love — whether we call it friendship or family or romance—is the work of mirroring and magnifying each other’s light.
JAMES BALDWIN
How do you magnify and mirror another person’s light?
When we are shown the luminance inside another being, something inside of us lights up as a direct receptor of these frequencies.
In many cases, we are ready to receive those frequencies and in others, perhaps not. What is important is that we are fully aware that not only do such frequencies exist, and that we are the potential recipients of the same from others, but also that we are cognizant of the fact that we are broadcasting our own sets of frequencies to others as they engage with us.
When you are around somebody or a group of people and you get a bad vibe, that is exactly what is transpiring. There is a frequency emanating from them which you are picking up on, and which continues to give you a feeling of unease and discomfort. Dogs have a heightened sensitivity to this quality in people. They can smell it.
Conversely, whether you are around someone whom you adore or you are meeting someone new for the first time and they feel so comfortable and approachable, the exact opposite is happening, in the sense that you are clearly receiving positive energy from that person or persons, and the warmth and friendly nature of that energy makes you grow closer.
They say that falling in love is finding aspects of ourselves in others and recognizing them. Perhaps it is a little bit more technical in the sense that perhaps we are sensing vibrational energy from another party, whom we feel an inextricable gravitation towards, and with whom we feel the potential for a deeper and more meaningful relationship to be explored.
When enough people are feeling similarly towards one another, there is a communal bond that is continuously elevating the community to greater heights of common understanding, acceptance, and tolerance of one another in order for the larger opportunity of the community to mature, and for the participants to connect deeply with one another.
Happy Tuesday!
