Join Me to Unlock the Metaphysical Secret of Manifestation Leveraging the Third Hermetic Principle…
Let's Vibe Over Coffee with a Wizard!
I don’t normally go out for a coffee, especially when I have a perfectly good and serviceable machine in my kitchen that produces my favorite dark roasted black magic brew on demand — and just the way I like it.
However, I was meeting a friend who was about to give me the best compliment I’d ever received while performing magic… but we’ll get to that in a sec.
Anyway, we were chatting about some work drama they were experiencing when the subject was subtly steered toward the topic of magic. Hey, it’s a gift. I can turn anything into an opportunity to perform.
So, I asked them to give me a “thumbs up” sign, then I deftly dropped a rubber band over their stubby digit like a Hawaiian lei. I tugged on the band, and even pulled their finger (brave, I know), but the band could not be freed without breaking or lifting it straight off — or separating their finger.
At that point I touched the top of their thumb with the tip with my index finger, trapping the band making it clearly impossible to remove. At that point I reminded them that if they didn’t move, this wouldn’t hurt.
And then then I did the impossible…
Magically, the band passed right through their thumb with my index finger still blocking its escape. And while we chatted over thin, burnt, restaurant coffee, I received my favorite compliment. They said, “your magic is like, magic for grownups.”
While I’ve always remembered that compliment, what they may not have realized was that I was demonstrating how a magical feat can be seen metaphorically as manipulation of unseen energies or even a shift in the vibrational state of an object.
Not that I was literally violating any physical laws but altering their perception just enough to mirror the subtle influence of our inner vibrations on reality.
It’s this perception we’re going to look at today as we explore the third hermetic principle of metaphysics from the Kybalion, the Principle of Vibration.
This principle asserts that nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates. Our senses may perceive the physical world as solid, like the unbroken rubber band. However, according to the principle of vibration, that’s an illusion created by slower rate of vibration of physical matter.
From a metaphysical perspective, matter and energy aren’t distinct, but different manifestations of the same fundamental substance — varying only in their rate of vibration. Perhaps this represents a basis for the alchemical quest to transmute base metals into gold.
If the universe is viewed through this vibrational lens, at one end of the spectrum reside the slower, apparently dense vibrations of the physical plane. While at the other are the rapid, subtle vibrations of the mental and astral planes.
This suggests that all phenomena, from the highest thoughts and emotions to the more prosaic physical objects within the entirety of the universe occupy a unique point along this vibrational continuum.
Moreover, being one infinite expansive spectrum means you won’t find a definite line of demarcation between matter and spirit. It’s all one substance, just expressing itself in varying forms through vibration.
This delivers great potential to the Wizard to manifest, since that merely involves the coordination, focus, and control of vibration. Acknowledging that thoughts, emotions, even intentions resonate with their own vibration, by consciously raising or lowering our personal vibrations, we influence reality, attracting experiences with corresponding frequencies.
The principle of vibration is more evidence of the interconnectedness of all things since everything relates to a unique vibration or frequency.
The wizard understands the profound power of this third Hermetic principle to accomplish practical implications in all areas of your life. For instance, it may be possible to tap into these harmonious vibrations to improve your physical health.
Managing your vibrational state can help mitigate the negative effects of stress in your life. Stress has been linked to cardiovascular disease, mental illness and weakens your immune system.
Negative thoughts and emotions have lower vibrational frequencies and consequently, raising your vibration by focusing on positive thoughts and cultivating positive emotions like joy and love can provide a more positive inner state and attract more positive experiences that resonate with your new vibe.
Awareness of your emotional state empowers you to consciously choose harmonious and uplifting emotions, leading to a greater sense of inner peace, calm, and resilience. In fact consciously focusing on the higher vibrations of emotion can transmute lower vibrational states such as anger, fear, or discord and override these negative emotions replacing them with positive ones.
Therefore, maintaining a positive mental attitude has the potential to engage and influence the body’s natural healing mechanisms.
In the Kybalion you’ll read that he who understands the Principle of Vibration, has grasped the scepter of power.
Of course, wizards are also known to be natural manifesters. They understand that the secret of manifestation and achieving your heart’s desire occurs when you intentionally align your thoughts with and positive feelings with what you want to attract.
It’s important that you visualize having it and feel the emotions associated with a successful outcome. Remember, an object of desire that exists on a higher mental or astral plane can be brought into the physical — but it must be real on those other planes first. You need to focus like a laser beam of directed energy, then affirm its presence in your life.
While manifesting simple base desires on the physical plane may not be the highest and best use of this metaphysical principle, spiritual practices like meditation help raise your capacity for vibrational energy, leading to expanded awareness, deeper understanding, and a greater connection to higher realms of consciousness.
And that’s where the real magick happens!
Like attracts like, the direct consequence of vibration work is the successful fulfillment of the law of attraction by matching our vibrational state to what we like or desire — and most importantly, that our vibrational state can be purposefully change. Important, because we attract our vibrational match, not just what we desire. To alter the outcome, we must become adept at changing the vibration.
The principle of vibration empowers us to play an active role in our lives, we are not mere passive recipients of reality but active participants in creating through control of vibrational state. The principle of vibration illuminates the dynamic and energetic nature of existence and our innate power to shape our experience through conscious vibrational alignment.
I sat back in my chair at the restaurant, aware that I’d just blathered on for nearly 15 minutes. The good news is while I was excitedly talking about this amazing principle the server had returned with a carafe of freshly brewed coffee and placed it on the table. Had I manifested it? My cup was empty now, and I contemplated another…
I began today’s discussion with a story about a rubber band. But there’s a metaphysical alignment within that story. You see, magic tricks are more than symbolic representations, these seemingly impossible feats can represent a shift in the vibrational state of the band or even the thumb in this instance.
Your takeaway is simple; we are all active vibrational participants in co-creating our reality. You attract your vibrational match. If you want better results in life, work, relationships or money — raise your vibration!
