A black-and-white photograph by David Wojnarowicz titled Untitled (Falling Buffalos), 1988–89. The image shows a herd of buffalo mid-fall, captured in motion as they plunge off a cliff. Their bodies appear suspended between force and stillness, evoking a sense of irreversible descent. The scene is stark and haunting, suggesting themes of unseen sacrifice, mass movement, and the consequences of silence. The photograph feels like a visual transmission — a moment held in time, echoing long after impact.

Echoes arrive in form before they arrive in understanding.



 

✦ Transmissions for the Already Becoming - Entry 01

 

You may be transmitting something true. In form, in tone, in presence.

Through art, work, energy, or expression, it’s coming from a place that remembers the original frequency.


You may be operating from clarity, precision, and deep creative power.

And still, the field returns static. Or worse… indifference.


This isn’t failure.

This is resonance trying to land in the wrong container.


Mismatched Channels

Some frequencies can’t travel through low-fidelity systems.

You may be offering crystalline information through platforms built for noise.

You might be anchoring clarity into social spaces optimized for stimulation, not integration.

Or maybe you’re speaking to people you care about, but they don’t yet have the inner context to receive what you're actually saying.

This isn’t a sign that you’re off course.

It’s confirmation that your frequency is intact.

But your environment might not be calibrated to hear it yet.


Signal Precedes Recognition

In every field, whether art, film, science, or spirituality, there are those who transmit messages before the field has the capacity to comprehend them.


Some call it being ahead of your time, but really, you’re not early.

You’re seeding the timeline you came to help unfold.


Your work becomes part of the activation process.

And because of that, the response might feel delayed.


But that’s not the absence of impact. That’s field latency.


The truth is, some of your audience isn’t activated yet.

And the ones who are will find you when it’s time.


Why It Feels Lonely

Because no one teaches you how to hold your signal when no one around you can yet reflect it back, you start to doubt.


Not the message, but the delivery.

You wonder if you’re being too much, too complex, too “out there.”


But the opposite is true.

You’re not too much, you’re coded for more.

And some of your resonance will only make sense once others are ready to meet it.


And part of that knowing is this:

Shape is not signal.

Not everything that looks like depth carries the charge.

Not all ‘visionary’ work is seeded.

Some mimic the form of awakening without ever touching the source.


And if you’ve felt unseen, it may be because you weren’t just creating differently,

you were transmitting, while others were styling.


That may take months. Or years..

Or they may remember you years later, after something opens in them,

and they suddenly understand the message you left behind like a breadcrumb in light.



You Are Not Misplaced

What feels like invisibility is often divine protection.


You are not meant to be fully seen in distorted fields.

You are not meant to pour refined signal into broken vessels.


There is a difference between being generous and being energetically irresponsible.

And part of the awakening is knowing when to withdraw your resonance from places that were never designed to hold it.


You Might Be in Training

If it feels like you're broadcasting into silence, it may not be because something is wrong.


You might be in the part of the mission where you're being trained in resonance, timing, clarity, and restraint.


You're being sharpened in real time, not through feedback, but through the absence of it.


This kind of quiet isn’t passive.

It’s intelligent.


And when the time comes to take your place in something larger, with scope and consequence, the internal calibration you built in silence will be exactly what holds you steady.


The refinement now isn’t just for now.

It’s for the roles you haven’t been asked to play yet, but will.


And Still, You Must Continue

Not louder. Not more often. But truer.


You’re not here to convince.

You’re here to continue transmitting through the channel that was given to you.


Art, sound, presence, gesture, decision. The form is secondary to the signal.


What matters is that you remain in fidelity to the frequency you came to carry.


Even if the response is slow.

Even if no one names what they feel when they’re near it.

Even if the reflection hasn’t yet arrived.


Some will know.

Some already do.

And that’s how the ones who were seeded remember.
