I was watching the Biden press conference yesterday and remarked to my partner that Joe was very nuanced in his answers and explanations and yet, his soft spoken voice, his lifelong speech impediment disguises the depth and profundity of his message.
Sound is vibration and the spoken word rides on the underlying energy that initiates a given thought/ spoken word.
In the case of this election, a perverse paradox has emerged. Even though Biden’s message might have more depth, profundity, equanimity to voters just starting to pay attention, Trump’s message, or rather the energy of the delivery, resonates more powerfully on the vibratory level.
A person can bemoan the lack of political policy acumen of the average American, the lack of nuanced reflection etc but the overarching energetic vibration that envelopes American culture is frenetic, buzzing, teeming and social media sites with the reels, the glamorous posturing, the quick hit “ Wow” soon to be supplanted by the next quick hit of nervous system adrenaline is the prevailing state of American culture.
Vibrationally, Trump is the WWF chest pounder, the raging cage fighter, the slam dunker who shatters the backboard. Biden, on the other hand, is the bespectacled librarian, the contemplative intellectual, the nuanced, complex thinker, the Ross Perot policy analyst who measures twice but cuts once. In short, the ideal prudent “ head” of a body politic.
Some will denounce my intent as anti Biden and they would be wrong.
Others, more reflective and nuanced typed themselves, would conclude that America is a nation of roller derby, professional wrestling, nascar loving philistines and they would be right.
And so my preference for another candidate other than Joe has everything to do with the fact that Trump’s vibrational energy, the energy that his words ride upon and not the actual dictionary meaning of a word, is far more in alignment with the enveloping American vibrational energy than Biden’s often soft spoken words co-mingled with a speech impediment
This vibrational mismatch between Trump and Biden disappears if a more vigorous , thunderous voice is allowed to inject a more competitive vibrational voice and overall energy into the presidential mix.
Don’t like what I write? Fine but your problem is not with me but with a culture that values the profound animus of a primal inspiration far more that the profundity of a measured, soft spoken political/ societal intellectual.
