This article combines the framework of the Energetic Perception Theory (EPT) with established insights from psychology, sociology, philosophy, and epigenetics. Its goal is to offer a new perspective on the ongoing debate about privilege and suppression.
The argument builds on:
Social Identity Theory (Tajfel & Turner, 1979) – explaining how group identification shapes behavior and often locks people into cycles of in-group/out-group conflict.
Epigenetics and transgenerational trauma (Yehuda, 2016) – showing how experiences of oppression or violence can leave measurable traces in future generations.
Psychoanalytic and psychological research (Freud, Jung, Bowlby, Ainsworth) – framing sexuality and intimacy as core forces of life, energy, and relationship.
Narrative Psychology (McAdams, 2001) – demonstrating that the stories we tell ourselves determine whether we live in victim or creator mode.
Existential philosophy (Sartre, Frankl) – emphasizing that true freedom is not bound to history but arises in the choices we make in the present.
Through this lens, outer-world privilege (Yang-filter) and inner-world privilege (Yin-filter) are seen as complementary yet incomplete perspectives.
Only by understanding both can we free ourselves from the invisible prisons of “roots” and move toward authentic freedom: the conscious choice of
THE FREQUENCY OF NOW
The Trap of Roots
Why Pride Can Hold Us Back
The conversation about privilege has dominated public debate for years. White privilege is a familiar term, describing the structural advantages that white people often experience in many societies: better access to resources, less discrimination, greater safety.
But rarely do we hear about the other side of the equation. What if there is also an inner-world privilege – one expressed in rhythm, music, creativity, and resilience? Recognizing this is not about denial, but about balance. True fairness requires us to see both:
outer and inner privileges.
Two Forms of Privilege
-
Outer-world privilege (Yang-filter):
-
linked to structures, power, economic dominance, visibility.
-
Inner-world privilege (Yin-filter):
-
linked to rhythm, expression, resilience, and the ability to create joy from within.
Both are real, but they exist on different levels. One dominates the outside world, the other the inner world. If we only look at one side, the picture is incomplete.
The Problem of Roots
Cultural pride often looks back to “roots.”
But identifying too strongly with roots – whether colonial dominance or historical suffering – creates an invisible prison:
A white person who clings to their roots of power and empire unconsciously carries the perpetrator code.
A black person who clings to their roots of oppression and slavery unconsciously carries the victim code.
Both codes keep humanity trapped in cycles of guilt and pain.
Pride as a Blockade
Pride may sound positive, but being proud of something we never chose – skin color, ancestry, history – means fixing identity to chance. Pride can narrow our view, binding us to an old code instead of freeing us in the present.Pride without transformation → repetition of the past.Pride without reflection → imprisonment in old narratives.Pride without choice → loss of freedom.
Suppression in Two Directions
Suppression does not look the same for everyone.
People shaped by Yin-filters often face outer suppression: discrimination, systemic inequality, being treated differently in public spaces.People shaped by Yang-filters often live with inner suppression: constant self-monitoring, fear of saying the wrong thing, being labeled as perpetrators.One group is silenced from the outside, the other from the inside.
A prison is not always made of walls. Sometimes it is built of fear, self-doubt, and the constant belief of doing something wrong.
Together, these mirror each other – a Yin-Yang dynamic of mutual limitation.
one side want to lose to be stiff and be creative or style and others want to present shiny things to decorate themselves.
Sexuality as a Pathway to the Inner World
Sexuality is one of the most powerful gateways into the inner world. Much like the “connection ritual” in Avatar, it allows a deep energetic exchange. But this exchange is not neutral: it depends on which regulator we choose – the ego-driven mode, or the love-driven mode.Through the lens of Yin and Yang filters, sexuality often mirrors imbalance:In a distorted Yin-filter, sexuality can flow into excess – spreading across many partners, mistaking quantity for fulfillment.
In a distorted Yang-filter, sexuality can collapse into restriction – distancing from intimacy, seeing it as duty or even burden. Both extremes prevent true connection. Both block men and women alike from experiencing sexuality as a conscious act of creation, intimacy, and presence. This perspective is not new: Freud already described sexuality as a core life drive (libido), Jung expanded it into archetypal energy, and modern attachment theory shows how intimacy patterns directly shape emotional health. What the Energetic Perception Theory adds is the idea that sexuality is not only a psychological or biological force – it is a frequency regulator, shaping whether we live from ego or from love.
Authenticity and the Real One Code
This perspective also has resonance in modern culture, especially in hip-hop. Within hip-hop, multiple partners or “side-women” are often glorified. Yet true intimacy is not about quantity or conquest. It is about authenticity. Whenever bodies connect in intimacy, truth must be present. If a person (man or woman) allows their partner to believe in a lie, or hides their true intentions, the energy is already corrupted. This is not strength – it is weakness. It is not the flow of love, but the distorted flow of negative Yang energy. A man (or woman) who deceives their partners will never reach the status of a Real One. Authenticity is the only path. A true partner must be fully informed, fully consenting, and able to embrace the other person as they are in their current state. If this is not the case, then the honest step is to walk away and wait for the partner who is ready for real connection. Only then does intimacy become not just physical, but a genuine energy exchange – a channel for growth, creation, and truth.
Sexuality and the Journey to Authentic Love
Every person who feels the need to constantly spread their sexuality outward is not yet in balance. And as long as this imbalance continues, they will never experience ultimate love or ultimate happiness.The true goal of sexuality is not quantity, but authenticity. For some, the life path may begin with multiple partners – often in a negative flow, driven by ego, deception, or a search for validation. Yet even this can evolve.When honesty enters the equation – when every partner is fully informed and consents – the frequency begins to shift. Over time, what once meant five partners may become three, then fewer, until the person naturally gravitates toward the partner whose frequency most closely resonates with their own incarnated soul.In this way, sexuality becomes a path of refinement. Each step toward authenticity brings a person closer to their central frequency – to the love that truly matches their inner being in this lifetime.
Choosing a New Frequency Code
We cannot change where we come from. But we can decide which frequency we project into the world:Instead of perpetrator or victim → creator.Instead of repeating pain → planting love.Instead of being trapped in old pride → choosing freedom in the now.Because in the end, heritage is not destiny. The real privilege is the ability to consciously rewrite the frequency code we live by.
Conclusion
Humanity will not move forward by clinging to roots, nor by weaponizing pride. True freedom arises when we stop repeating old codes – outer or inner, Yin or Yang – and choose, in every moment, the frequency of now.
Scientific Echoes of This Perspective
This is not just philosophy. Research supports the idea that unreflected roots and patterns can shape us unconsciously:
Epigenetics & Transgenerational Trauma
1. Epigenetics & Transgenerational Trauma
A groundbreaking 2025 study found that violence and trauma leave enduring, heritable epigenetic marks—such as DNA methylation changes—across multiple generations of Syrian refugees.
Another study on Holocaust descendants showed similar long-term epigenetic patterns related to stress resilience, again supporting the idea of intergenerational transmission of trauma.
2. Cultural Resilience via Music & Rhythm
Research into African and Caribbean diasporic music reveals how musical traditions—drums, rhythm, dance—serve not just as heritage but as living tools of resistance and identity formation.
These cultural practices are recognized as key mechanisms in building inner strength and communal resilience.
3. Narrative Identity & Personal Transformation
Dan McAdams’ concept of Narrative Identity shows how our life story—reconstructed past and imagined future—forms our identity. It establishes whether we remain trapped in victimhood or become creators of meaning. This idea is crucial for your “victim code → creator code” framework.
Integration into the Article
Together, these studies show:
Epigenetics demonstrates that unprocessed historical trauma becomes part of our biological code—confirming the"frequency code" metaphor and the need for conscious transformation.
Cultural resilience research validates the concept of "inner-world" privilege in rhythm and creativity—morbidly rooted, yet generative.
Narrative identity theory provides the psychological structure needed to turn the “victim code” into a “creator code,” enabling identity transformation through storytelling.
