The other day I turned the radio on and heard a song that I’ve always liked, Counting Stars by OneRepublic. It’s a catchy tune and before long I had the melody firmly stuck in my head, but as it approached the chorus a few lines caught me off guard in what I had always considered to be an uplifting song. Searching for the lyrics that grabbed my attention I discovered the music video (which has over 4 billion views), and the words which so eloquently summed up the self-sabotage mindset I had spent most of my adult life trapped in.
I feel something so right doin’ the wrong thing
I feel something so wrong doin’ the right thing
I couldn’t lie, couldn’t lie, couldn’t lie
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive
With repetition being the most efficient technique used for mind control, I wondered about the consequences of listening to those words over and over again. Whether it was Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg suggesting I smoke weed everyday, or Pink Floyd insisting I stay comfortably numb, the consistent themes of hedonism, depression, self-sabotage and partying myself into oblivion were present in almost all of the songs riding the radio-waves that found my ears. Are the songs we hear the most disempowering us by bombarding us with negative repetitive content? And if so, can the opposite be true, can we empower ourselves by listening to inspiring positive music?
Here in Australia, one radio station hosts an event every year known as Triple J’s Hottest 100, where the most popular songs are counted down during the span of a day. It takes place when most aussie’s have the day off, so it’s typically met centre-stage with an audience indulging in their favourite forms of self-sabotage, mine being booze and mary-jane. These would successfully render my conscious mind offline, allowing for my people-pleasing, order-following subconscious mind to step in, soak up the repetitive vibratory content it was being fed, and have me act it out accordingly, in its attempt to keep me “safe” by helping me to fit in. This year, the hottest 100 winner Doja Cat encouraged us to live like “the devil” a “bad lil’ bitch” and “a rebel", with second place G Flip singing “now I’m the worst person alive” over and over again.
Words are vibratory energy. They can indeed change our behaviour and make us act in very predictable ways. What we choose to listen to and what we choose to say has immense power and comes with responsibility and consequences. It’s called spelling as words are capable of casting a spell upon us, even more so if we’re kept in the dark about how our minds operate. The more repetitive the sound, word or emotion, the more likely we are to copy it, and it doesn’t take too many repetitions to get the average joe doing what a mind control expert wants them to do. In reality, we only need 2 repetitions of any word to get most of us changing our behaviour accordingly, (and this can be done all outside our consciousness awareness of course). Combine this with an understanding that the mind-altering ruling class maintains their power by destroying ours, and is it just a coincidence that so many artists, (especially those with the biggest manufactured following) don’t even write their own songs anymore?
In the short 2.5 minute video below, we see how words can be easily used to mind control others. In our modern time, this is called brainwashing, behaviour modification or psychological manipulation. In ancient times, it was called magic.
When these techniques are used to trick us into hurting ourselves, it’s called black magic. When the same techniques are used to make us empowered, abundant, progressive, moral or ethical, it’s called white magic. The people who rule us under false pretences are using these techniques as black magic in our lives, and have been doing so for a very long time. The music industry is being organised by our misleaders as a weapon against the public on a daily basis, with even children now being targeted by the abhorrent disempowering trash painstakingly classified as music.
So can music really be used to control and manipulate us? In the early 20th century, a decision was made to change the standard tuning from 432 Hz to 440 Hz. With the vibratory nature of our universe being recently rediscovered, indications point that this contemporary pitch standard may actually generate an unhealthy effect or anti-social behaviour in our consciousness. It should come as no surprise then, that this change was dictated and forced through by the Nazi propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels. It really doesn’t take much to kick our conscious mind’s bodyguard off-duty. Could such an unnecessary, discordant switch in the tuning of our music be priming our subconscious mind (and its list of downloaded repetitive content), to sit permanently in the driving seat of our behaviour?
Nikola Tesla once said, “If you want to find the secrets of the universe think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.” Ultimately, it’s clear that the base foundation of the ruling class’ attack on us is to lower our vibration. Physics confirms that every particle in the universe is vibrating at all times, and that’s including the ones we’re made of. A visual representation of this can be seen in the short 3 minute video below, where coloured sand is placed on a vibratory plate, introducing us to cymatics - the field of study that focuses on visible vibrations from sound. Put simply, the higher the vibration, the more complex, beautiful and evolved the patterns become.
The highest vibration measured out of a human body in regards to our emotions (even higher than love), is authenticity. We’re certifiably unable to resonate at our highest vibration if we’re not being authentic, a tricky feat in a world that uses our own psychology against us to make us all want to be the same. What we hear, we will make clear, so it's important to choose wisely when selecting songs for our playlists if we want to auto-tune ourselves for authenticity. Just as some music can steal our ambition to become our best selves and program us to destroy our own lives, other pieces (including those without words) can constructively reinforce powerful messaging and elicit a beneficial emotional response. Music can also come to our aid when we’re in dire need of hearing something positive. I remember one night when struggling with addiction, I was debating with myself whether to go home or head to my dealers house, I was sitting in the car and was met with the song Energy by Disclosure.
A lot of you, you’re not where you wanna be
You’re thinking of negative stuff
You talkin’ negativity
You in that negative zone
I need you to do me a favour
I need you to know that
In order for you to get to that next level
The one thing you need to do
To go where you’ve never gone before
Is to change the way you think
Where your focus goes, your energy flows
Are you hearin’ me?
Nothing in this world is what we think it is. Maybe U2 is hinting this when incessantly flashing that everything we know is wrong at their concerts. I used to have no idea how my own mind works or why I couldn’t stop doing illogical behaviours that were dismantling my life. Now, I dedicate my time to running Stop Playing Small, my new program that helps others to retune their frequency to match the vibration that benefits them.
Stay tuned for more blog posts like this, that will continue to delve into the workings of our subconscious mind and the reasons behind our self-sabotage. We don’t need to hurt ourselves to feel something, it’s time to change the station to rise above the static, raise our vibration and begin walking our authentic path. Thanks for reading!
