The Great Split: Are We Witnessing a Vibrational Divide in Real Time?
Your Next Click Could Rewrite Reality—Are You Ready?
A Personal Note to My Readers:
Dear friends,
What follows is a reflection born from a lifelong pursuit—one that’s been with me since childhood, tugging at the edges of my curiosity: *Why is the world the way it is?* This question, a quiet companion through years of study and contemplation, drives me still. In my last piece, “The Quantum Power of Faith” (Feb 23, 2025), I wrestled with how consciousness, science, and spirituality intertwine to shape reality—a journey enriched by walks with my friend Dr. Anthony Phan and sleepless nights chasing truth. This article builds on that, but it’s not a conclusion. It’s me, thinking aloud, trying to make sense of a reality that feels increasingly split—between those rising toward coherence and those falling into chaos.
I offer this not as dogma but as an invitation. These ideas are my current lens on our world’s strange unfolding—why it fractures, how it sorts us, and what we might do about it. I’m grateful for you, my readers, who join me in this exploration. If my last post stirred you, I’d love to hear your thoughts as we dig deeper. Let’s keep asking, reflecting, and seeking together—open to the mystery, humble before the unknown.
With appreciation,
Ty

Introduction
Today I will explore the idea that we are living through something extraordinary—a global bifurcation of reality. It’s not a physical rending of the earth, but a splitting of human experience into two distinct frequencies: high and low. One group ascends toward unity, coherence, and possibility; the other descends into fear, division, and limitation. This is more than a hunch—it’s an observational phenomenon echoing through science, spirituality, and ancient wisdom, amplified by the digital megaphone of social media. We’re seeing the sheep and the goats, the wheat and the chaff, separated before our eyes, as if the Bible’s prophecies are unfolding in real time.
I will explore this seismic shift through the lenses of Gregg Braden, Joe Dispenza, ancient Near Eastern philosophy, and Scripture, then zoom in on how social media algorithms are turbocharging the divide.
The Science of Frequency: Braden and Dispenza
Gregg Braden, a geologist-turned-consciousness pioneer, argues in The Divine Matrix that reality is a participatory energy field shaped by our thoughts and emotions. Everything vibrates—your heart, brain, and even the Earth at the Schumann Resonance (7.83 Hz). Braden points to studies from the HeartMath Institute showing that love and gratitude generate coherent, high-frequency heart rhythms, while fear and anger produce chaotic, low-frequency ones. This isn’t woo-woo—it’s scientifically measurable. He believes humanity is at a choice point: align with unity and rise, or cling to division and fall.
Joe Dispenza, a neuroscientist and quantum explorer, takes it further. In Becoming Supernatural, he explains how our thoughts emit electromagnetic signals that interact with the quantum field—a realm of infinite possibilities. EEG data backs him up: meditators in gamma brainwave states (30-100 Hz) access heightened awareness, while stress locks us in high-beta (12-30 Hz), a survival loop. Dispenza says that as some master coherence, they tune into abundance and connection, while others stay stuck in scarcity and conflict—creating two lived realities within one world.
Ancient Wisdom: Echoes of Duality
This isn’t new. Ancient Near Eastern cultures saw reality as a dance of opposites. In Mesopotamia’s Enuma Elish, Marduk defeats Tiamat, order triumphing over chaos—a vibrational ascent. Egypt’s Ma’at, the harmony of the cosmos, demanded alignment; misalignment bred isfet, disorder. Hebrew mysticism speaks of creation as divine sound, with humanity choosing to resonate with God’s unity or fracture into separation.
The New Testament amplifies this. Matthew 25:31-33 describes the Son of Man separating the sheep (righteous) from the goats (unrighteous): “He will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on his left.” In Matthew 3:12, John the Baptist declares, “His winnowing fork is in his hand… gathering the wheat into the barn and burning the chaff with unquenchable fire.” These aren’t just moral tales—they’re vibrational metaphors. The “sheep” and “wheat” align with a higher frequency—love, faith, obedience—while the “goats” and “chaff” sink into lower states of rebellion and operate from fear.
The Bifurcation Hypothesis
So, what’s happening? Simply put, humanity is splitting vibrationally. “High-frequency” people—those cultivating coherence, love, gratitude, and connection—are tuning into a reality of hope and possibility. “Low-frequency” people—trapped in anger, victimhood, or apathy—are anchoring into a denser, more chaotic experience. This isn’t about good versus evil in a simplistic sense; it’s about resonance. Quantum physics hints at it: the observer effect (e.g., double-slit experiment, as discussed last week) shows consciousness shapes outcomes. As Braden says, we’re at a tipping point; Dispenza adds that we’re choosing our station on the quantum dial.
Look around. One group embraces community, innovation, and optimism—think decentralized movements or spiritual awakenings. Another digs into polarization, despair, or control—see the rise of authoritarianism or endless culture wars. It’s not just politics; it’s physics meeting prophecy.
Even Elon Musk agrees something strange is happening. Listen closely to this clip from his interview with Joe Rogan. Musk says, “It’s like they are living in an alternate reality.” He doesn’t know how right he may be.
Social Media: The Global Amplifier
Enter social media, the accelerant of this split. Algorithms on platforms like X, TikTok, Facebook and Instagram don’t just reflect your frequency—they amplify it. Designed to maximize engagement, they feed you content matching your emotional state. Scroll in anger, and you’ll drown in outrage bait—low-frequency loops of conflict and fear. Browse with curiosity or joy, you’ll find inspiration and connection—high-frequency pathways.
This isn’t accidental. Research, including a 2018 study by MIT researchers published in Science, shows that emotionally charged content—predominantly negative emotions like fear or disgust—spreads faster and wider online than neutral or positive material, with false news outpacing truth by significant margins. A 2021 study in Affective Science further suggests negativity, including anger, drives sharing more than positivity on platforms like X (formerly Twitter). Algorithms capitalize on this, prioritizing high-arousal posts because they keep us hooked. Social media amplifies emotionally intense content—love or hate—while quieter takes fade. It’s a feedback loop: your frequency shapes your feed, and your feed tunes your frequency. Over time, this carves out two distinct digital realities.
Imagine two people on X. One, vibrating high, follows thinkers like Elon Musk, Jordan Peterson, the Ehtical Skeptic, Joe Rogan or spiritual leaders, retweeting ideas about unity and progress, asking questions and exploring truth—thier algorithm delivers more of that, lifting them further. The other, vibrating low, doomscrolls partisan rants, war videos, trans ideology—their feed spirals darker, reinforcing isolation. Social media doesn’t just mirror the divide; it’s a winnowing fork, separating wheat from chaff in real time.
Biblical Alignment: The Separation Unfolds
Scripture foresaw this. Revelation 14:14-19 paints a harvest: “Swing the sickle on the earth… the time to reap has come.” Two groups emerge—one ripe for gathering, one for judgment. In 2 Timothy 3:1-5, Paul warns of “terrible times in the last days,” listing traits like selfishness and brutality—low-frequency markers—while urging the faithful to hold fast to love and peace. The parable of the tares (Matthew 13:24-30) is stark: wheat and weeds grow together until harvest, when they’re separated.
Social media accelerates this harvest. It’s a global stage where frequencies clash—where “sheep” post gratitude and “goats” sow division, each amplified by algorithmic winds. The Bible doesn’t mention X but reveals that “The Lord knows those who are his” (2 Timothy 2:19). Today, your timeline might betray your resonance.
The Evidence Around Us
Step back. Polarization isn’t just louder—it’s more profound. A 2023 Pew study, "Highly Negative Views of American Politics in 2023", reflects deepening political discontent, building on earlier findings—like the 2017 Pew Report—showing a widening ideological gap, with the share of Americans holding mixed views dropping to 32% by 2017. Health trends diverge too: anecdotal reports from Joe Dispenza’s retreats, as noted in Becoming Supernatural, claim healings through coherence, while CDC data shows anxiety and depression symptoms rising sharply, affecting 41.5% of adults in 2020-2021. Even nature seems to echo it—solar flares, tracked by NOAA, influence the Schumann Resonance, aligning with Gregg Braden’s tipping-point ideas from The Divine Matrix, as if the planet resonates with this shift.
Anecdotally, I hear it daily. Friends in “high-frequency” circles talk of synchronicities—jobs appearing, communities forming, even miracles happening. Others in “low-frequency” ruts lament betrayal, stagnation, doom. It’s not wealth or status; it’s vibration. Social media magnifies this, turning personal choices into global currents.
What Does It Mean?
If this bifurcation is unfolding, we’re not mere spectators but active shapers of our destiny. Gregg Braden argues we tune our frequency through emotion, Joe Dispenza asserts we reforge it through disciplined focus, and Scripture—most strikingly in the Apostle Paul’s words—calls us to anchor it through a transformative mindset: “Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, pure, lovely, admirable… think about such things” (Philippians 4:8). This isn’t a passive suggestion—it’s a radical directive, echoing ancient wisdom like Egypt’s Ma’at, where harmony hinges on aligning with cosmic order, and resonating with quantum physics, where observation collapses potential into reality. Paul’s mindset isn’t just moral hygiene; it’s a frequency lever, a conscious act of creation that mirrors the observer effect—shifting chaos into coherence. Social media, however, throws a twist into the mix. It’s both a mirror, laying bare our inner resonance, and an accelerant, hastening the divide between those who elevate their thoughts and those who don’t.
The high-frequency path isn’t reserved for the few—it’s a universal summons. When Jesus says, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28), he’s not just promising relief—he’s unveiling a radical shift: rest as a gateway to renewal, a high-frequency state where the soul recalibrates to divine order, much like the coherent rhythms Gregg Braden ties to creation’s pulse. This echoes the ancient Near Eastern vision of rest as sacred—think Sabbath, a rhythmic reset encoded in Genesis 2:2-3—while quantum physics hints at its power: a still mind, as Joe Dispenza notes, collapses chaos into clarity. Yet online, the low-frequency undertow surges—algorithms, feeding on fear churn out discord to trap the weary in cycles of unrest. Jesus’ call cuts through: rest isn’t retreat, but resistance—a choice to rise above the digital fray. The divide deepens, yet this invitation stands open to all.
Where Do We Go?
This isn’t about pointing fingers or assigning blame—it’s about waking up to the stakes of a reality splitting into high and low frequencies. If this bifurcation is real, we’re not powerless spectators; we hold the reins through deliberate choices. Joe Dispenza’s meditation and Gregg Braden’s gratitude practices—backed by EEG evidence of gamma states and heart coherence—offer tools to tune upward, resonating with ancient wisdom’s call to align with the sacred. In Mesopotamia, priests chanted to appease chaos (Enuma Elish), while Vedic sages used mantras to attune to the universe’s hum—both saw awareness as the spark of transformation. The Bible’s charge, “Test everything; hold fast what is good” (1 Thessalonians 5:21), sharpens this: it’s a mandate to sift the noise, to choose what lifts us. From Egypt’s Ma’at to Confucius’ pursuit of li (proper conduct), the wisdom shines through: recognize the currents, then steer toward harmony—awareness is our compass in the storm.
Yet awareness demands action, especially as digital tides pull us low. Social media’s algorithms—proven by the 2018 MIT study (Science) to favor fear-driven content—set traps that drown us in discord, amplifying the “terrible times” Paul warned of (2 Timothy 3:1-5). But we can counter this: curating our feeds and muting the clamor isn’t retreat—it’s reclaiming our frequency. Ancient traditions model this resilience—Hebrew prophets sought silence to hear God’s whisper (1 Kings 19:12), Zen masters sat in zazen to pierce illusion, and Stoics honed focus amid Rome’s chaos. Prayer, spanning cultures from Navajo chants to Christian liturgy, roots us in the eternal. The gleaning is profound: survival in a bifurcated world isn’t passive endurance—master your tools, test your inputs, and you don’t just weather the split, you shape it.
The question burns: Are we ascending with the sheep or sinking with the goats? Check your heart—does it pulse with gratitude or grudge? Your mind—does it dwell on the noble or the noise? Your timeline—does it reflect coherence or chaos? Social media amplifies every flicker: fear races faster than hope, and algorithms feast on the fallout. Yet ancient traditions—from the Stoics’ disciplined gaze to the Buddha’s sati (mindfulness)—teach us to master the moment: sift the fleeting, seize the eternal. The frequency you choose today isn’t a casual toggle—it’s the chisel carving tomorrow’s reality. In this bifurcation, neutrality dissolves; every scroll and thought casts a vote for the world you’ll inherit.
Closing Remarks
In the swirl of a world splitting—high frequencies rising, low ones pulling—Psalm 46:10 cuts through like a clarion: “Be still and know that I am God.” It’s not a retreat into silence but a command to pause, center, and recalibrate amid the storm. Ancient wisdom cradles this truth: the Hebrew damam (be still) hints at a hush that reveals, akin to the Taoist jing—quietude that unveils the Tao’s flow—or the Vedic dhyana, stillness birthing insight. Quantum physics nods along: Joe Dispenza’s meditators find gamma-wave clarity in the pause, Gregg Braden’s coherence blooms in the still heart. Even now, as social media’s algorithms churn fear faster than light, this stillness is our rebellion—a refusal to be swept into the low-frequency fray.
But knowing God in that stillness isn’t passive—it’s power. It’s the anchor that steadies us to choose: wheat or chaff, sheep or goats, a timeline of light or shadow. The Psalm’s promise—God’s sovereignty—meets our agency here, in this bifurcated now. Every tradition whispers it: from Sumer’s priests stilling chaos with song to the Desert Fathers’ hesychia piercing the divine, stillness births mastery. So, be still. Test your frequency. Curate your soul’s feed. The divide races on, but in that sacred pause, you don’t just survive—you rise, shape, and claim the reality God dreams for us all. Today’s hush decides tomorrow’s hymn—sing it high.
Have a great day. Stay sharp, pray, and be ready to embrace your divine journey!
