Positive Vibes Only by Ismaila A. Nassim

This is a term we have seen many times and used ourselves. It denotes that the person only wants positivity around them, hence, anything that will cause negativity should be shunned, avoided, or at best not given attention too, this is a good thing emotionally, because it shows that the person who wants 'positive vibes only' has reached a level of self awareness emotionally, and can judge between positive (good) and negative (bad) vibes (energy) and hitherto, wants to work a way of pulling positivity and pushing negativity away, it will not come as a surprise to know that the person wanting 'positive vibes only' around them, has had too much of negative vibes around them and hence in them, and have reached an awareness of this negativity around and within that they want it done away with and the only way they see fit to do or achieve this is by having positivity around them at all times, because the external stimuli of an individual's environment determines what their inward energy holds and this determines what they themselves will give out as energy or 'vibes' to the environment. This therefore means that prior to the 'positive vibes only' mental movement of the individual, negativity is what that individual was exposed to, on a deeper complex mental level, the individual's external stimuli was negativity, this negative energy was all around the individual as external stimuli, this made this individual receive negativity, process negativity and also give out negativity, but this said individual awoke to a state of mental/emotional awareness, realizing that negativity does not do the universe good and hence decides to stay away from negativity by having the new mantra to create awareness around himself, what then happens to all that negative energy residing in the individual prior to the new vibe change? Does it suddenly change, by some complex unexplainable chemical reaction, to positivity?

A car has gone over the threshold of heat it can contain, the cooling system can no longer function to bring the temperature level of the car to a containable range, the car over heats, systems shut down, any further, and the worst could happen, the driver comes out and pops the hood, goes to open the radiator cap and is quickly advised against it, reasons being, "the system will have to self cool for a short while before any assistance can be rendered to it" because "abrupt assistance rendered to the system could be detrimental to the helper and the system being rendered help to". 

Self awareness is a process, there are stages to self mental awareness that an individual should and must pass through, and like developmental stages, these stages when skipped or missed, form into fixations. An individual who has 'gained self awareness' and wants 'positive vibes only' around them should have passed through the stages of mental awareness to be able to fully form their own idea pattern on how to gain total control of their environment as it affects them mentally, if this said individual is fixated on, let's say, the stage of 'understanding social patterns', this being that the stage was not fully expressed by the individual at the time it should have, then the individual will not be able to fully process or control how they 'Accept human nature and control their own narrative' (being the 3rd and 5th stages respectively) as regards understanding how to take all that negative vibe and turn it into positivity, thereby giving back positivity also to the environment. The argument here, thus, a 'positive vibes only' individual who does not fully comprehend the deeper process of the term, will inherently give out what they are avoiding to get, give out negative vibes by trying to avoid getting negative vibes, putting themselves In the paradoxical 'catch 22' position. Positivity is more of the comprehension of the process of mental enlightenment, than a wordasmiths plaster on wet tiles.
