One thing I hear a lot is the word "vibes"...
When I hear the word vibes the first thing that comes to mind is the word impulses, but in regard to other people...
Many of my friends dictate whether or not they pursue friendship and acquaintances on these vibes...
I hear people say "she's giving me bad vibes" or "I'm not vibing him"...
Hearing these things makes my mind giggle because by implication, when somebody says that, they are also saying that they are a mind reader; but, when you ask them if they are mind readers, they look at you like your crazy... trust me... I know
People often find things in others to give themselves a instant reason to dissociate themselves.
This bothers me because this mentality screams hypocrisy...
I personally can say I highly dislike when people choose to dislike me based on their assumptions... Ultimately, it's ignorance... point. blank. period.
This doesn't mean that I'm giving heat to all those who do judge impulsively. It is understandable. BUT, people are often missing out on a great opportunity to meet someone unlike themselves, and possibly widening their horizons of knowledge...
in some cases, the person's vibes may just be all jacked up... who's to know... and this reason alone should tell people that vibes are probably the most unideal thing to base people-to-people interaction on...
At the end of the day, understanding, compassion, and open-mindedness outweigh any vibe and can open the gateway to a myriad of things... If nothing else, look at vibes as a blockade to all the possibilities in life. Forget the vibes, and be yourself; nothing more or less...

Ok so you know you don't have to ask me twice to comment! Vibes to me as a child of the 70's born in the 60's is your internal barometer on what is going on around you. "the place has a cool vibe" " I didn't like that guys vibe. Vibes to me have to do with your intuitive self, the one you should trust and listen to. The world does indeed emit "vibes" and if you are sensitive to them you can steer clear of things and people that have bad ones. Conversely listening to your internal self and vibing on things that feel correct to you will ultimately bring you joy and satisfaction.......Ms Flier
Dovetailing off of what Ms Flier said: To me, as a true musician, I only think about vibes through music. Vibes are vibrations, but not in the traditional sense. Vibrations like the ones that are coming off of planets in our solar system 100s of octaves below our hearing range, like the ever present din of every electronic device and annoying bug. Vibrations are everything: the difference between air, water, and ice or steel and wood. It's all vibration. As she said, it's just listening to those things.
To apply that to us, everything that we are is vibration, our heart beating, our toes tapping, our rhythms of speech, the way our brain fires off to create these things that are perceived as thoughts...
Really, though, the first thing I thought of was Lionel Hampton, probably the best vibes player of all time. Check this out:

That video was awesome... and Miles, I never really took it to that level - but it's so true. Thanks for the new perspective.
