Vibe And Charisma

Monday May 10th, 2010 - Barrington, IL

I’ve really been thinking a lot about inner vibe lately. I’m only just now starting to grasp in my head how vital it is to all of our lives. I don’t know exactly what it is, but I do know it’s real. What was that inner feeling I had yesterday to go to the casino and win money?

Where did it come from? Was it a guardian angel? A ‘spirit guide‘? Was it all just a big coincidence? I don’t feel it was that at all, but I don’t have the exact source pinpointed yet either. My guess is it’s something we can all access, but not everyone discovers the way.

We all have good days and bad days, and I know the moon and tides and that cycle have an influence on how we all feel and what kind of energy flows from us. It’s real, and I can feel it more than I ever have. People radiate energy, and I’ve always been able to sense it.

One of the reasons I’m such a major fan of George Clinton and Parliament/Funkadelic is that George has amazing charisma, unlike most anyone I’ve ever seen. I’ve been able to catch them live countless times, and although I love the music the true electric moment of the whole show is when George makes his entrance. It’s an experience I never get sick of.

The band is playing, and there are lots of musicians on stage. They get the crowd going for maybe 30-45 minutes or longer, and then they hit their opening song that indicates it’s time for George to come out. It’s called ‘Cosmic Slop’ and all the fans know it, but when he finally shows up it takes the audience to outer space and the whole joint pops a cork.

I don’t think just anyone could do that. If the band was playing and the crowd was in an unbelievable groove and everything was firing on all cylinders, and my grandma came out there instead of George Clinton, the whole thing would be ruined. George has a look with his distinctive hairstyle and clothing choices, but it’s more than that. It’s his inner energy.

My question is, can it be developed like a physical muscle? I’ve felt my own inner vibe evolve, and it’s been in a good way. I don’t know if that comes with age or if I’ve made a conscious effort, which in my mind I think I have. I want to learn to control this energy.

I’ve been doing little tests lately to see what works. For example, I made a list of twelve women I’ve known in the past that I really found attractive. I looked at the list, and put in my head a conscious vibe to re-attract them into my life again and see if I still found them attractive, and if there’d be a possibility of connecting. Sure enough, they’re coming back.

I had dinner with one of them tonight. I hadn’t seen her in several years, and she teaches developmentally disabled children. She’s sharp and funny and still looks great. She’s still all the things I remember, and we had a fantastic time catching up. Time flew like a bird.

The only downer…she was divorced and is now remarried. Ugh. Very disappointing in one way, but in another very encouraging. The point was to reconnect, and we totally did.
I hadn’t seen her in years, but I put the vibe out there and we reconnected. It’s like magic.
