Physics week 6
It is interesting to think about if all vibrations are "good." What makes something good? Everything has a vibration, and in that sense, if we determine that something is good, its vibration is good. But we have all certainly felt what we perceive to be bad vibrations - walking into a room where there has just been an argument, hearing nails scratch on the chalkboard. These things are unpleasant, but are their vibrations bad? I think it's all subjective.
When we were talking about resonance and objects being destroyed when their own natural resonance is externally amplified, it made me think of interpersonal clashes I've had. I'm a double Aries, which at times has certainly been a strong vibration to have. For most of my life, I've always clashed pretty hard with other fire types, especially other aries. During our conversation, I was thinking about how maybe this is because they are holding a certain vibration or resonance that is just too close to my own, creating a sort of amplification. As I've learned to temper and understand myself, it's much easier to be around other fire types. Although I still find I feel most at home with water types, a sort of balance I really need.
One of my teachers described qi as function and animation, which is a definition I really like. To parse out the difference between qi and energy is really difficult. Qi is energy and energy is qi. Both terms can be very narrow or very broad. To me the term qi feels more all encompassing though. The qi of something is like its personality, its energy, its potential, its temperature, function, and structure all smushed together into one idea. But we can certainly use the word energy to have a similar meaning.
