Reflective Sundays lead down rabbit holes of inquisitiveness. Where you find yourself pondering on the frequency modulations you are on in the different places, times, and moments you show up. And by that those others are on as well. And whether you’re aligned.
In this age of viral everything; from opinions and memes to mayhem and the latest AI innovation; perhaps the most under-discussed, under-valued, and under-felt contagion is not the algorithm right now... but frequency.
If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration.— Nikola Tesla
Frequency is contagious. And selective. Very selective.
We’ve built entire societies on volume; not virtue(Have you watched the documentary buy now? Horrendous stuff)
We talk too much. Tweet too fast. Think too slow. Saying anything is in fashion and better than saying something that is worthy of speaking only when the words mean more than the silence.
Normalized overconsumption is the frequency the world is on. I actually went back and forth with myself before starting this newsletter at the start. Always wondering; “does the world need another blog and newsletter and article”. And I had to snap out of that and get into the frequency of storytelling; of avoiding the danger of a single story as is the premise of this space. To remember my why.
We are collectively plugged into the frequency of cloud capital that we by and large don’t really share in the proceeds of(a story for another day this cloud capital matter but check out what Yanis Varoufakis has to say about this on youtube for now); instead of the frequency of the universe. Which again; very very selective.
Why selective? It’s for doers. This frequency. I catch glimpses big and small of it every time I see great people doing great things all over Africa on my timeline. I feel it every time I am on the frontier of my awakening or personal, intellectual and relational development by doing something I’m proud of. A reminder that; It is the most healing thing anyone could ever do. Many call it grit. It has many a framework to model after. Its core functions are Risk and Reward. Give and Take. Yin and Yang.
Yet in creating Mrs. World; We only ever ask for this attempt at stepping into this difficult frequency ever so harshly. Get off your ass and act. We rarely go back to the root. Encourage an elevated awareness frequency from a point of gentleness. The person in the arena and all that. Not with noise, but with knowing. That getting stuck in traffic; and quantum leaping and getting out of traffic; are very personal. Not in haste, but with harmony.
First principles. The next best thing.
Our harshness and opinions of what is best is as a result of the frequency of too much. There’s a lot of bullshit masquerading as “strategy.”
I read this series this past week on the structural realities behind African startup models; and how both founders and investors can navigate them more intelligently. It was insightful. Got me thinking about what is being built, why it’s being built, most importantly for who. Because the who; is the frequency. Of production. Of cashflow. Of sustainability.(there was also the overarching theme that founders are building for a non-existent middle class and success looks like tapping into the frequency of foreign markets to create economies of scale)
It’s no secret that in Africa there are lots of moving parts(more than other regions of the world). The frequencies are misaligned. All over the place. From a linguistic, currency, policy and more point of view. And everyone has a reason for their version of showing up being the best strategy. As a half glass full frequency girl; I applaud effort. It’s a better frequency than procrastination.
I have a mantra I keep saying to myself at odd times of the day to keep myself proactive. From giving up. From keeping the lethargy and nihilism at bay. From not putting my best foot forward. That one about you will always miss all the shots you don’t take. Taking shots and taking them consistently is the difference between success and failure now. A muscle best exemplified by the frequency of consistency.
Now, let’s stop being polite for a second and admit something:
The world of work is a power game. Networking can be a drag if you have no skin in the game. We learn everyday just how much.
You’re either playing it, or being played by it. Maneuvering in the Matrix. Calling it “meetings” when it’s really about moves.
As any physicist will tell you: Energy can neither be created nor destroyed; only transformed.
Your dreams? The games you want to play? They don’t come from “out there.” They’re already coded in your DNA. Another frequency. A bit like your WiFi password; it’s not that the internet isn’t working. You’re just on the wrong damn frequency and where energy goes grows. Are you the giver or the taker of the energy? Is it symbiotic?
And you can either sit in the sidelines overthinking, overposting, and under-earning. Or you can learn the rhythm of the room. Because power doesn’t scream. It hums. And frequency is the hum of power. We learn everyday. I am learning everyday. The higher I climb up the mountain(read hill); the more I find out about the journey ahead of me. I have no choice but to be on the frequency of enjoying the climb. Everyone should have that as a right. To enjoy the frequency of the work they do. And be proud to be seen doing it.
I am slowly learning to normalize being seen. It is directly proportional to success many a profession and in this age of productizing individually. It is a frequency of success. And being seen can be Physical. Mental. Emotional. Social. Psychological. It can also be impact-based. It can be felt just as much as it can be found.
That you don’t have to manipulate; just resonate. And when you do? You don’t climb ladders. You levitate.
Functions. Frameworks. Formulation. Financing.
Call it the F-suite. From fiduciary wisdom to foreign markets, from forecasts to formation; finance isn’t just about figures. It’s about frequency management.
Yes; even money hums. Does frequency have a smell too? It must, I think. What does money smell like to you? When you understand its mechanics, you realize it moves like music; not math.
Getting organizational finances vibrating in alignment with purpose, clarity, and courage; doesn’t just fund dreams. It fuels destinies.
This is why I love FP&A. The numbers will always align with the frequency the business is on. Good or bad.
Because real abundance isn’t the number in the account. It’s the integrity of intention behind it. A reminder I got starkly today when I chanced upon a letter from Birmingham by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. A point of view laid out in such a picturesque way there are no rebuttals. Best use of my morning.
Future Frequencies: Where Quantum Meets Qualitative
I find new age tech fascinating. Ever since I encountered machine learning in CFA. I’m addicted to the rabbit hole that is the frontier of fringe frequencies. All this cacophony of web3-esque frontier business is a function of freedom now. It would be frivolous to act(and move) otherwise. But again; on what frequency?
AI is freeing minds to enter hearts(at least how I see it from a visionary point of view)
Quantum computing is decoding truth, one qubit at a time(I would love to see one in technicolor)
Bitcoin is the new psalm of value — finite, forged, and frequency-bound(and all other forms of universal new money)
Blockchain is trust on the ledger — a new gospel of governance(literacy is the function of success here)
What does it all mean?
It means we are entering the era of resonance rewards. Where authenticity is currency. And consciousness is collateral.
So, dear gentle reader, here's your Sun-Day See Best Day(Albeit so late into the day for me): Stop seeking. Start sounding. Because when your vibration meets your vision; there’s no force on earth that can keep you from your own revelation.
You don’t need to do heavy lifting. Just heavy listening. I’m a dreamer. Who loves the messaging behind the financials. The numbers. The functions. The frequency.
And once you’re aligned?
The universe doesn’t just conspire; it composes. Evolutionary processes are influenced by specific frequencies, particularly the Earth's natural electromagnetic frequency. Organisms capable of resonating with the Earth's 7.83 Hz frequency can receive and respond to signals that influence their evolutionary development(I can’t remember where I read that). I hazard though, that that is how you find your purpose. Your Why. Definitely Your How. In all spheres of life. One experience at a time.
Think you’ll be happy.
Have a lovely Sunday ✨🦋
