From Rage to Resonance: Tuning Our Frequency in an Age of Injustice

In my last post, I grappled with the visceral pain of watching our world fracture—the violence, the broken systems, and the “chains” of injustice that feel heavier by the day. I asked how the ancient principle of Ahimsa (non-violence) can possibly hold up when every fiber of our being is screaming in rage and demanding action.

I’ve spent the last few days meditating on the responses—yours and my own—and I keep coming back to a single word: Frequency.

If Ahimsa is not just a passive, polite act of doing no harm, but a state of consciousness, then we must look at the energetic frequency we are operating from when we stand up for justice.

The Trap of Low-Frequency Action

It is easy to get swept into a low-frequency, “abyss” of anger, fear, and despair when we witness atrocities. While anger is a natural, justified response to injustice, operating solely from that place can be exhausting and, ironically, keeps us in a state of reaction, rather than power.

Carl Jung wrote, “What you resist, persists.” When our resistance is fueled entirely by hate for the oppressor, we perpetuate the same energy-vibrations of violence that we are trying to stop. As Dr. David R. Hawkins observed in Power vs. Force, shame, fear, and anger (below 200 on his scale) are destructive, while courage, acceptance, and love (above 200) are constructive.

Raising the Frequency: The High-Vibrational “No”

How do we practice Ahimsa while still standing up for what is right?

1. Ahimsa Begins Within: True non-violence means not letting the world’s chaos become our inner chaos or break our inner peace. We must nurture our own mental and emotional state first so that we don’t become another source of toxic, reactive energy.

2. Act from “Frequency,” Not Just Fury: We can be fiercely committed to justice without being violent in thought or word. This means having the courage to speak truth, but from a place of conviction rather than hate.

3. Become “Frequency Holders”: As Eckhart Tolle describes, our role can be to hold a high-vibrational space of conscious awareness and calm, even in the midst of turmoil. This creates a “ripple effect” of peace.

The True Meaning of “Holding Space”

As we watch the breakdown of institutional safeguards today, the temptation is to sink into panic. But our duty, perhaps, is not to meet low-frequency violence with more low-frequency violence. Instead, we are called to raise our own frequency, which in turn acts as an anchor for others.

As the Bhagavad Gita teaches, there is a time to stand up for Dharma (righteousness). But that standing up must come from a place of composure and detachment—a state where we are aligned with love and wisdom, rather than just reacting out of fear.

Call to Action:

This week, I challenge us all to look at the news—and our own anger—not as a reason to spiral, but as a prompt to consciously raise our frequency.

• How can you take action on a specific injustice today while maintaining your own inner peace?

• How can you turn your “No” into a “Yes” for a better world?
