Walking Magnets

We are walking magnets, energy in constant motion. Everything around us vibrates with energy, which is why it's essential to keep your vibration positive. Energy flows where attention goes, so guard where you focus. Never tune into the negative frequencies of life. Keep your energy high, and let your vibration remain strong.

Racism has long been woven into the fabric of American society. Growing up in Dallas, Texas, during the 60s and 70s—one of the most racially divided cities at the time—I rarely encountered racism firsthand. The reason? My energy never attuned itself to that toxic station.

Much of this mindset can be traced back to my parents. They taught my brother and me from an early age that we were just as good as anyone else, regardless of race. I remember when I was around four or five years old. My father worked for a company that had an ice skating rink on the lower level. One weekend, when the building was mostly empty, he took me with him. This was in 1965 or 1966, when Jim Crow laws still held sway in the South. There, side by side, were "whites only" and "colored" drinking fountains.

I'm sure my father checked to make sure no one was watching before he picked me up and let me drink from the whites-only fountain. His only comment was simple: "It tastes the same, doesn't it?" At the time, I didn’t fully grasp what he meant. But over the years, that moment became a profound lesson. My father had taught me, without words, that people are not defined by the color of their skin. We are all the same. Humanity is divided only by character, moral compass, and the capacity to love.

As we navigate through life, we move through various magnetic fields—emotional, physical, spiritual—each surrounded by invisible forces. Just as a magnet attracts iron, certain people, places, or ideas can attract us, while others repel us. Beliefs, too, act as magnets: they draw in evidence that supports them and push away anything that contradicts them.

To maintain a high frequency, it's crucial to minimize exposure to draining influences. Avoid getting lost in the endless scroll of negativity, whether through social media, news, or toxic people. Positive energy is contagious. Clear your space—both physical and mental. A peaceful environment calms the mind and makes room for new energy. Surround yourself with uplifting music, acts of kindness, and moments of compassion. Even the smallest gestures can shift the energy around you, boosting your own vibration and spreading light to others.
