The Healing Frequencies of the Human Body:

* Hammered dulcimer
* Singing bowls
* Gongs
* Windchimes
* Pan flutes
* Hang
* Didgeridoo
* Kalimba
* Djembe
* Rainstick
* Drums
The Solfeggio frequencies are a six-tone set of musical tones that date back to ancient times.
* 396 Hz: liberation from negative feelings
* 417 Hz: transformation and fixing broken situations
* 528 Hz: miracles and DNA repair
* 639 Hz: interpersonal relationships
* 741 Hz: solving problems, solutions, creative expression
* 852 Hz: spiritual enlightenment
40Hz
Flickering lights and sounds at 40 hertz have been used in Alzheimer’s therapy studies to stimulate an increased neural response and fight symptoms of dementia. Sound at 40 hertz has been linked to gamma brain waves and the stimulation of memory.
174z
174 hertz is one of the Solfeggio frequencies, a series of tones used in sacred music that is believed in alternative medicine to have different positive effects on human health. 174 hertz is associated with the reduction of both pain and stress.
285Hz
285 hertz is also one of the Solfeggio frequencies and is considered instrumental in the healing of cuts, burns, and other physical wounds. 285 hertz sound frequencies are supposed to activate the body into cellular regeneration, encouraging it to heal itself in the event of an injury.
396Hz
This sound frequency is associated with the removal of fear and other negative feelings. As one of the Solfeggio frequencies, the 396 hertz tone aids in the removal of the feeling of guilt, making it an effective addition to spiritual music. 396 hertz frequencies balance the root chakra while simultaneously transforming negative emotions such as grief into positive, joyful ones.
417Hz
Instead of a focus on physical ailments, healing sound therapy involving 417 hz (another of the Solfeggio frequencies) focuses on the removal of negative energy such as the energy surrounding a past trauma or negative energies in the ambient environment. 417 hertz therapy is designed to dissolve emotional blockages and activate the sacral chakra.
432Hz
432 hertz therapy is aimed at the heart chakra and listening to a 432 hertz frequency is supposed to lead to greater levels of mental and emotional clarity. A 432 hertz tuning is associated with a higher level of spiritual development.
440Hz
Music that is tuned to the 440 hertz versus 432 hertz is considered “cerebral” music that aids in the listener’s cognitive development. Sound frequencies at 440 hertz are considered to activate the third eye chakra.
528Hz
Also known as the love frequency, 528 hertz is one of the most well-known and popular of the Solfeggio frequencies. This musical tone is also known as the “miracle note” and has been used in native populations as a sound associated with blessings since before written history.
639Hz
639 hertz is a sound frequency that affects the heart chakra. This sound frequency is associated with therapy intended to produce positive feelings and greater attunement to harmonious interpersonal relationships. As therapy, 639 hertz exposure encourages clearer communication practices and situational awareness.
852Hz
852 hertz sound therapy is a tone that is associated with redirecting the mind away from overthinking, intrusive thoughts, and negative thought patterns. These patterns of thought play a larger role in depression and anxiety. Exposure to this sound frequency can help the role of negative thoughts in these psychological ailments.
963Hz
963 hertz sound frequencies are associated with activation of the pineal gland and higher spiritual development. The 963 hertz frequency is known as both the “pure miracle tone” and the “frequency of the gods”. 963 is associated with the activation of the crown chakra and a connection to the source of all humanity.
Not only are low-frequency sounds associated with human illness, but they’re also associated with annoyance, lack of ability to focus or concentrate, and the inability to retain information (memory issues). The government took the application of low-frequency sound as a weapon even further, incorporating infrasonic sound technology into crowd dispersal vehicles such as LRAD tanks. These sonic tanks produce a low-frequency sound designed to induce immediate nausea and dizziness.
full list of negative symptoms associated with low-frequency sound exposure:
* Loss of sleep —
* Irritability —
* Fatigue —
* Loss of concentration —
* Nausea —
When exposed to higher frequencies, such as those found in frequency healing, the human body is stimulated to heal oneself. On the flip side of that, if the human body is exposed to constant low-frequency noises, they can develop negative symptoms as a result.

I think “woke culture” (i mean the Twitter kind) is actually extremely damaging for people with OCD to the point it almost feels intentional. By the Twitter kind I mean like, “if you eat avocados you might aswell deforest Mexico yourself” type woke Twitter culture. It feeds on eliminating things from peoples lives, to the point that if you ACTUALLY CARE and actually follow through you’d die. You wouldn’t have enough nutrients in your diet. You wouldn’t use medications because big pharma is bad!! And you would use any plastic even if it means keeping things sterile so you’re prone to infections. That’s how Twitter was ruining my life. I would agonize over buying a deodorant. I could never make up my mind on what food to buy. OCD can best be described as both 1) caring way too much about everything all the time to a painful level, and 2) in French it translates to the “doubting disease”, because OCD is literally almost all doubt. I know logically me buying the cheaper rice that’s problematic ceo (as if non problematic ceo’s exist…) won’t instantly bring the world into shambles.. but I care and doubt gets the best of me. I don’t buy the rice. Do you know what a living hell OCD can be? No one really pays it much attention in the mental health movement and our disorder is still pretty misunderstood.

nobody is like. required to speak on a topic. you wouldnt walk up to some random person on the street and ask then to engage you in a conversation about niche russian streetwear in the 90s so why would you expect a random celebrity to speak on issues they are in no way educated enough to speak on? remember: parasocial relationships arent real. you dont know this person. they dont know you.
even if you are educated, you dont have an obligation to talk about it. maybe you dont want to get involved for whatever reason, maybe it just simply makes you uncomfortable to talk about political issues on a non-political blog. doesnt matter because at the end of the day, whatever your reasons, its your choice what you do with your time or your space.
thank you for coming to my ted talk its 2am and i need sleep.

“But what songwriter could have predicted thirty years ago that the future would lose its sense of humour, its sense of playfulness, its sense of context, nuance and irony, and fall into the hands of a perpetually pissed off coterie of pearl-clutchers? How were we to know?”

I’ve seen so many posts about this but I’m still so annoyed about how these days “be critical of something while appreciating it” turned into “hate everything about it, don’t watch it and if you do then you’re an awful racist/misogynist/homophobe etc”. I’m sick of it….

Archbishop Jose Gomez of LA, the current president of the USCCB, has given a talk about the “de-Christianizing” forces in our society. 
‘Here is my thesis. I believe the best way for the Church to understand the new social justice movements is to understand them as pseudo-religions, and even replacements and rivals to traditional Christian beliefs. With the breakdown of the Judeo-Christian worldview and the rise of secularism, political belief systems based on social justice or personal identity have come to fill the space that Christian belief and practice once occupied. Whatever we call these movements — “social justice,” “wokeness,” “identity politics,” “intersectionality,” “successor ideology” — they claim to offer what religion provides. They provide people with an explanation for events and conditions in the world. They offer a sense of meaning, a purpose for living, and the feeling of belonging to a community. Even more than that, like Christianity, these new movements tell their own “story of salvation.”’
...’ What we might call the “woke” story goes something like this: We cannot know where we came from, but we are aware that we have interests in common with those who share our skin color or our position in society. We are also painfully aware that our group is suffering and alienated, through no fault of our own. The cause of our unhappiness is that we are victims of oppression by other groups in society. We are liberated and find redemption through our constant struggle against our oppressors, by waging a battle for political and cultural power in the name of creating a society of equity. ‘Clearly, this is a powerful and attractive narrative for millions of people in American society and in societies across the West. In fact, many of America’s leading corporations, universities, and even public schools are actively promoting and teaching this vision. This story draws its strength from the simplicity of its explanations — the world is divided into innocents and victims, allies and adversaries. But this narrative is also attractive because, as I said earlier, it responds to real human needs and suffering. People are hurting, they do feel discriminated against and excluded from opportunities in society. We should never forget this. Many of those who subscribe to these new movements and belief systems are motivated by noble intentions. They want to change conditions in society that deny men and women their rights and opportunities for a good life. Of course, we all want to build a society that provides equality, freedom, and dignity for every person. But we can only build a just society on the foundation of the truth about God and human nature. ‘
I see a lot of people making this comparison between woke culture and religion. Matthew Yglesias gets credit for dubbing our moment “The Great Awokening”, and searching for that phrase will give you many examples of the comparison with religion. I think that there’s a more precise way to get to the same point, an argument which I’ve made before here, and in my book. I’d hope that this could be taken as a friendly amendment to His Excellency’s analysis.
Both religion and woke politics are similar in that they advocate for an understanding of what it means for the world to be right. Justice, before it gets specified into distributive justice or social justice or racial justice or economic justice, just means “rightness”. Those further species of justice are “rightness in a particular area.” The broadest sense of justice is that “everything is right, the way it should be.” In a religion, that usually means “everything is the way God wants it to be.” 
But this is not mean to be just an ideal of justice--it is a vision of embodied justice. That is, it is not to be limited to books, but to be brought to life as people strive for it each day. Many of the ways that the woke embody their desire for rightness--songs, chants, organized group processions-- are derived from religious liturgies, which is part of what makes people want to say that wokeness is a new religion. But since there’s always been a feedback loop between political processions and religious liturgies, you could plausibly argue that the causality goes the other way--that imperial processions gave rise to liturgical processions, just as Solomon’s riding into Jerusalem on a donkey to claim his kingship is the ultimate source of the Catholic Palm Sunday procession. So the similarity between woke liturgies and devotions and religious ones should not be surprising--both are instances of a common desire to embody our longing that things be made right. Religion is about justice understood as rightness, and so is woke politics. It is not wonder that they have some structural similarities. 
Remaining at the level of the structural, we can note that a key difference between the Christian religion and woke politics is that Christianity, in addition to having a commitment to rightness, also has a theory and embodied practice of mercy, of what to do when things are not right. This is missing from woke politics, which is why they have no other way to react to those who fall short of justice than to scapegoat and cancel them. Canceling is a method of punishment that does not have a place for mercy, forgiveness, restoration, solidarity, or reconciliation. The cancellers agree with the Pharisees’ critique of Jesus--to eat and associate with sinners is to condone their sin, and so forgiveness and mercy are tantamount to giving scandal. That’s why in my book I call the cancel culture “justice-only politics”--at the structural level, it has no account of mercy. And as the Roman senator Seneca argued at length in his book De Clementia, any sort of politics without mercy is a recipe for tyrrany, and ultimately revolution.
I agree with His Excellency that it is not a problem with the woke that they have an embodied sense of justice, even if it feels quasi-religious. I just want to highlight that the precise nature of their problem is that they have this desire that things be set aright without any sense of mercy or forgiveness or solidarity with the imperfect.

Anti-Wokeness Must Not Become Its Own Religion
By Chris Hearn (source)
Wokeness is often called a religion. Anti-wokeness must not take the same path
Wokeness. It's a hot topic, as the kids say. The kids still say that, right? Anyway, wokeness has been compared to a new religion. And those describing it that way aren't wrong in their assessment, really.
So, why is wokeness seen as a religion by some? Generally speaking, when it comes to wokeness, there is a set of dogmas that has been developed around issues like race, gender, sexuality, privilege, oppression, colonialism, etc. You must adhere to the narratives engrained in these dogmas and repeat the mantras that have manifested. If you do not, you are deemed a sinner and must repent. If there is no repenting, then there must be excommunication. There is little room for blasphemy and if you dare cross a line, cancel culture comes calling. Yup, a very religious structure. To be woke is to be very strict and unforgiving - fundamentalist, shall we say. It often involves brimstone and fire rhetoric. There are sacred cows that must not be criticized or spoken ill of. So the analogy is apt.
The whole woke culture thing has made some quite angry, creating a negative pushback. Critics of wokeness are starting to gain traction. There are those who are tired of the narratives, tired of the demands for conformity, tired of being called racist or a bigot for not saying the right things. They are tired of lectures, of diagrams fitting everyone into neat categories of victimhood, tired of seemingly everything revolving around race and gender. People are tired of being shunned for questioning questionable ideas. So, yes, there is a pushback. It's understandable and necessary.
However, the growing backlash risks become it's own religion in short order, in which case we are all back to square one. It is important to stop anti-wokeness from becoming the new wokeness if it's not too late already.
Too often, in the woke camp, words are thrown around to discredit those that go against the doctrines of the woke. Nazi, fascist, alt-right, grifter, transphobe, TERF...this a small sampling of the lingo that the woke love to use against those that dare disagree.
But, the anti-woke camp would be better if it didn't adopt a similar way of dealing with opponents. Unfortunately, it may be too late. In fact, using the term woke as a slur and writing off the opinions or ideas of anyone deemed woke is a perfect example of the anti-woke brigade slipping into religious territory. The sin, in this case, is being woke. In order to regain acceptance, denouncing all that is woke is necessary for some. That's not good. That's not progress in this matter.
Some have made a good career out of being woke and selling wokeism. Some will cite people like Ibram X. Kendi or Robin DiAngelo who have made a lot of money from white people telling white people how awful and racist they are. Can't blame people for that, really. The same thing seems to be happening in the anti-woke camp. Now, I am a big fan of Bill Maher, for sure. BUT, I have noticed much of what he is doing these days is obsessed with anything and everything deemed woke. Honestly, there is plenty of comedic material in some of that woke stuff. He's often quite spot on with his assessments, but sometimes it just seems like the obsession with being anti-woke is equal to the obsession I see some have with being woke.
youtube
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YapmWpPO2AM
Ya, there you go. Funny? I think so. But, you know, when every week it's an anti-woke fest, at some point you want to say, "Hey, Bill, maybe expand your repertoire again." Big fan, think he's funny, but, definitely, turning anti-wokeness into a bit of a religion in itself.
And then, we have critics of being woke, like Ben Shapiro, who fall decidedly on the right-wing side of the debate who have their own crazy ideas going on. So, him and folks like him being critical of the woke and their crazy ideas often comes across as hypocritical and short-sighted because they are the anti-woke bizarro world, mirror image of the craziest of the woke.
The thing is, not everything woke is bad. Woke can get pretty cringy, nasty, ugly, bizarre, hypocritical, lazy, judgmental. But, you know, there are some good ideas at play. Things like racism or homophobia do thoroughly suck. Maybe those deemed being woke don't handle anti-racism or anti-homophobia in the best way. Quite a bit of anti-racism, for example, has just turned into a new form of racism in itself. But, to just shun everything that is considered woke is a bit foolish, if you ask me. I can agree with a LOT of wokeness, honestly, even if the execution is a bit on the questionable side.
Many in the anti-woke camp see themselves as free-thinkers that don't want to conform to the scripts set forth by the woke brigade. But, it seems at times that these free-thinkers start to develop their very own scripts and quickly stop actually being free-thinkers.
Who would have thought? Two polarizing schools of though mirroring each other? Again? And, as often seems to be the case, the woke and anti-woke are divided by a tribal line, with many anti-woke folks being on the more conservative side of things, while those deemed woke are on the left side of things. Funny how this keeps happening. But, because it does, it almost seems that it's a very natural thing. It's almost like this is how humans are, this is how are brains are wired. It's almost like us human animals have a predisposition to tribalism and conformity in thinking. It probably has some kind of evolutionary benefit. Or, at least, it highlights the fact that even though humans are intelligent, we are still animals with limitations.

So about this Lord of the Rings show…
Isn’t it funny to listen to individuals who are so upset over black elves and dwarfs. These are the same people who claim to be not racist or “hate it” when people bring up racism for why they have a problem. But honestly, what else would it be? I mean put aside the fact that these are fictional characters not based in any lore that is attached to race. No where has it ever said that black elves and dwarfs are not allowed. But because Tolkien was suspect in not including any type of diversity in his works, we’re supposed to continue perpetuating that misstep today? If some dumb ass isn’t yelling stay true to “history” it’s stay true to the source material. They are staying true to the source material. The story is based on Tolkiens works. Them changing the skin tone of a character is not getting away from the subject, the feel, or the point of the stories. And the fact that a person would be upset solely because all of the characters are not white says a lot about that person.
Let’s get one thing straight. There are absolutely times where a character’s race should not be changed. Like when that character’s story is wrapped up in heritage and culture. For example, Black Panther’s race is not interchangeable. His whole schtick is that he’s from Wakanda, a fictional but still African country that is made up of nothing but black and brown people because they’ve been separated from the rest of the world. Not much room for diversity race wise. Although there was still plenty of white people in that movie.
You can’t make Vikings black because that definitely was not a thing historically speaking. But I mean you know, they make Egyptians white all the time. Breakfast at Tiffany’s has a white man pretending to be Asian. We have several depictions of white actors dressed in Native American garb. Nobody seems to care about any of this. But god forbid a black elf!
When it comes to characters, especially in Fantasy and Science Fiction, who’s only idea of race is whether they’re a dwarf, a wizard, or an elf, or even a vampire, a wear wolf, or a pixi fairy, it reeeeaaaalllly doesn’t matter.
Tolkien lived in a time where writing about people of color, outside of slavery stories of course, was not at all common. I’m sure Tolkien had little if any experience at all with anyone non-white. That’s just the reality of the situation. So I don’t really blame him tooo much for his lack of diversity.
But sitting in 2022, a person is mad that an elf is black, and you expect me to not take that as racism? If your friends, family, and loved ones are upset or debating over black elves and dwarves, and you’re a white person who claims themselves to be an ally, then I hope you open up your mouth and explain to them how ridiculous they sound.
Because remember, if you’re only an ally when you’re around black people, than you’re not an ally. You’re a closeted racist pretending to be forward thinking. We call that fake woke. Which is what Amazon is too for their token black characters that we’re supposed to be impressed by. I keep seeing the same two black actors in all the promo footage and they expect a reward for it. Y’all still don’t get it. People of color make up … let’s just say a good bit of the American population and yet we’re still so underrepresented in entertainment outside of sports and music. Being made to feel like only one or two of us could succeed in film and television at a time. And then when we do get the tiniest bit of representation, it’s dragged through the mud as if we have no right to be recognized as part of the population. That’s the problem with America. As much as white media wants to scream woke from the hill tops, y’all don’t even know what that shit means. Instead it’s become a buzz word. Y’all will never get it because you’re not actually woke! And at the rate we’re going, who knows if you ever will be.
