Chapter Five Candidate: Human Resonance and Electrical Circuits
The essence of resonance lies in connection, be it in electrical systems or human experiences. By examining electrical circuits through the lens of human qualities, we uncover profound parallels between the physical and the spiritual, the logical and the emotional. Remember, all that we see is ourself, so prepare to see aspects of your own capacities as a human being in a new light–the electrician’s light!
I am about to present some simple concepts about the characteristics of electrical circuits, especially as they relate to our capacities as human beings. You do not need to become an electrical engineer or theorist to understand the concepts, just as you do not need to become a theologian or philosopher to understand the spiritual capacity and characteristics of your being. An open mind and a willingness to briefly travel upon a new path of understanding is all that is required.
So here we go.
Source
Any electrical circuit requires a power source, whether it’s a voltage or current source, to function as intended. This source must be meticulously engineered not only to meet the immediate demands of the circuit’s components but also to accommodate potential future expansions or upgrades. Without such a thoughtfully designed source, the circuit remains inert, incapable of fulfilling its purpose or adapting to the inevitable changes that lie ahead.
Similarly, human beings rely on a multiplicity of energy sources to fuel their existence—both tangible and intangible. Diet provides the physical sustenance necessary for survival, while spiritual practices, interpersonal connections, and intellectual pursuits offer nourishment for the mind and soul. These sources align with the intricate design of our being, imbuing purpose and vitality while preparing us to grow, evolve, and transcend the challenges of life.
Resistance
Resistance is a core attribute in any electrical circuit—it limits current flow, dissipates energy, and prevents overloads. Electrically, it stabilizes the circuit, ensuring the system doesn’t become overwhelmed by an influx of energy. Biologically, humanity mirrors this concept with our immune systems. Antibodies act as “resistors,” safeguarding us against harmful changes, like a virus invading our cells.
On a broader level, resistance is mirrored in human consciousness. Psychologically, we resist ideas that appear contrary to our points of view, or trigger unfavorable emotional reactions.Think of how we resist false ideologies or harmful narratives—racism, misogyny, or ignorance. Much like an electrical resistor protects a circuit by moderating energy, humans create societal “anti-bodies,” challenging and halting the spread of destructive phphilosophieswith the intention of ensuring the collective consciousness remains healthy and untainted.
Capacitance
Capacitance relates to a circuit’s ability to store and release energy when needed. A capacitor doesn’t act hastily; instead, it absorbs and holds energy, releasing it when the circuit demands it. This characteristic resonates with the human ability for contemplation and potential. Within each of us lies capacity—a reservoir of thoughts, ideas, and emotions waiting for the right moment to manifest.
Just as a capacitor must balance charge and discharge to maintain functionality, humans must harmonize introspection and action. Without this balance—a measured accumulation and release—we risk stagnation or burnout. Our minds, like circuits, thrive on this rhythm of pause and expression.
Inductance
Inductors in a circuit rely on magnetic fields to regulate the flow of energy, producing opposition to changes in current. They create a dynamic resistance to instability, mirroring human influence and adaptability. When faced with external forces or fluctuating circumstances, our choices and behaviors “induce” meaningful shifts in the world around us. Inductance embodies the human ability to shape outcomes, crafting energy into tangible action while anchoring it to stability.
Think of collective movements—a protest, a community rallying to solve crises, or even the melodic rise and fall of a shared song. These moments channel individual emotions into collective purpose, creating lasting ripples across societal networks. This human resonance enriches the interconnected web of existence.
Resonance
When resistance, capacitance, and inductance work harmoniously in an RLC circuit, resonance emerges. This is the point when the system absorbs and utilizes energy with optimal efficiency, creating conditions for unimpeded vibration. Resonance amplifies signals, enabling clearer communication and purpose within the system. Resonators can become antennas, allowing for the transmission and reception of electrical energy,
Humans, too, have the capacity for resonance—moments when alignment of thought, emotion, and action achieves collective harmony. Whether it’s a shared cause fueling protests against injustice, or an inspiring speech that stirs the hearts of thousands, resonance occurs when individuals connect through shared frequencies of purpose.
Yet, achieving human resonance requires a common ground, or a reference point—a shared foundation that aligns diverse individuals while preventing chaotic instability. Without this equilibrium, resonance may devolve into disharmony, as seen in destructive mobs acting without unified intent.
Electrical circuits can be tuned to select specific frequencies, such as in radio receivers or television sets. Humans, too, can create a “tuned circuit” of consciousness. Our knowledge, language, and cultural narratives act as carriers of energy within the circuitry of collective human awareness. But our systems need recalibration—a deep tune-up—to align with the greater purpose of humanity.
This tuning requires more than intellectual pursuit; it calls for a spiritual realignment with the “ground of creation.” Across millennia, this changeless reference point has been known by countless names. It is accessible only through the suspension of egocentric thoughts—the silencing of the self-centered narrative that dominates our consciousness. Finding this silence allows us to attune to the profound frequencies of life and creation itself.
When we transcend narratives rooted in individualism, we begin to hear the larger symphony. We feel the Earth’s plea, recognize the interconnectedness of all beings, and act in alignment with the sacred balance of existence. Resonance becomes not just a state of flow within systems, but a way of life—an amplification of humanity’s potential to create abundance, harmony, and enlightenment.
The parallels between electrical resonance and human consciousness invite us to explore life itself through physics’ lens. Resistance teaches defiance and protection; capacitance mirrors stillness and potential; inductance reveals influence and growth. Together, they create resonance—energy and action aligned to achieve clarity and shared purpose across a group of people.
By tuning our human circuits with precision and care, we can craft a resonance that ensures our survival as a species, while deepening our connection to the sacred ground of being.
