Part 3 in the Practical Hermetics Series
Everything vibrates.From the tiniest subatomic particle to the tallest mountain, nothing is truly still. All things exist in motion, resonating with energy. These vibrations are not confined to one place—they ripple outward, affecting everything they encounter.
This is the essence of the Hermetic Principle of Vibration: everything is energy, and energy moves.
The Emotional Power of Sound
Think about how music affects you. When you hear a favorite song—especially played loud—you don’t just hear it. You feel it. Your body moves, your spirit lifts, and your entire mood shifts. Music can take you from despair to euphoria in under three minutes.
That’s not magic—it’s vibration at work.Sound waves don’t just pass through the air; they pass through you.
Words Are Vibrations, Too
Now consider speech. Words also carry vibration. I’ve been told many times that my voice is powerful—not because of volume, but because people can feel what I’m saying. That’s the power of passion, conviction, and integrity. But the same principle works in reverse.
Negative people affect their surroundings deeply. They spread emotional dissonance, not because their arguments are persuasive, but because their energy is loud. Sadly, negativity tends to spread faster than positivity, especially in a culture saturated with fear-based messaging.
We are bombarded with thousands of marketing messages a day. Most of them tell us, implicitly or directly, that we are not enough—and that buying their product will fix that.
Stop Believing That Nonsense
Seriously—stop believing that shit.Think for yourself. Especially when it comes to government and corporate influence.
Did you know that in the 1990s, the public began trusting government-backed marketing more than ever before? Around that time, the FDA was led by an attorney who had previously worked for a major pharmaceutical company. The result?Sales of psychiatric drugs skyrocketed—from $500 million a year to over $800 billion.
And how did they do it?Words. Music. Vibration.Cheerful voiceovers paired with warm springtime melodies. Images of picnicking families surrounded by sunshine and birds. They sold us dreams—while hiding a disturbing reality.
These drugs often cause apathy, agitation, anxiety, hallucinations, psychosis, addiction, and even a 50% increase in suicidal thoughts.See the proof for yourself:▶ Documentary: Psychiatry – An Industry of Death▶ Testimony and side effects
I Know Because I Lived It
I was on psychiatric meds myself. I get it.But I’ve been drug-free since October 2019. I’m healthier, more grounded, and far more focused. It wasn’t easy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Therapy (RET), and hard inner work helped me more than pills ever did.
It takes effort. But the rewards are real.
How to Become a Powerful Magician
If you want to master vibration—start with your body and your mind:
Eat clean. Move daily.
Read books that stretch your imagination.
Visualize often.
Practice ritual—it gives your thoughts structure and power.
Elaborate rituals aren’t superstition—they’re a training ground for the mind. A focused mind creates a focused life. There’s truth in the old saying:
“As you think, so shall you become.”
Your brain will help solve whatever problem you believe you have—by feeding your imagination with possible solutions. Then, your critical mind can apply logic to what the creative mind generates.
That’s real magick.
Media Literacy = Mental Armor
To protect your vibration, you must develop media literacy. The modern magician learns to question every message they consume.
Before accepting a narrative, ask:
Who made this?
Who’s the target audience?
Who paid for it—or profits from it?
Who might be helped or harmed by this message?
What’s missing from this story?
Is this credible—and why do I think so?

Your vibration is your shield, your voice, your spell.Guard it. Sharpen it. Use it wisely.
Namaste.
My business is using symbols to help people feel better and be more successful using the brain’s ability to do what it naturally does, and is backed by Neuroscience. Yes, it is magical the things we can achieve if we just hack our brain’s natural capacities.
I invite anyone to debate with me or make an offer for me to speak to any group.
