"There’s something to think about the next time you pop in some earbuds. Does listening to music make you feel more warlike and diseased?"
According to an article by Global News, "the powers that be are successfully lowering the vibrations of not only the young generation but the rest of us as well" through... "destructive frequencies [that] entrain the thoughts towards disruption, disharmony, and disunity."
In 1953, 440 Hz became the pitch standard ISO-16 reference for tuning all musical instruments. It's based on the chromatic scale, where "all the other notes are tuned in standard mathematical ratios leading to and from 440 Hz."
Supposedly, no one knows for certain why this new frequency was chosen as a tuning standard. The article discusses, without going to far down the "rat hole" three other more supposedly natural frequencies that the Middle A Haters or Tinfoil Headphones crowd advocate for: 432 hz, 438 hz , and 528 hz.
"Adherents to this theory claim that a more “natural” frequency for middle “A”...is 432 Hz (also known as Verdi’s A) because it has a pure tone of math fundamental to nature and is mathematically consistent with the patterns of the universe, vibrating with Phi, the Golden Ratio. They point to how this pitch can be connected to everything from nautilus shells to the works of the ancients, including the construction of the Great Pyramid. Furthermore, 432 Hz resonates with 8 Hz (the Schumann Resonance), the documented fundamental electromagnetic beat of Earth. It just feels better. Research says that music tuned from this frequency is easier to listen to, brighter, clearer, and contains more inherent dynamic range" than music tuned to 440 hz."
So why the universal change to A=440hz? Well, Global says, "there is allegedly something sinister and evil about 440 Hz. It is said that the Rockefeller Foundation had an interest in making sure the United States adopted the 440 Hz standard in 1935 as part of a war on consciousness leading to musical cult control.
According to this theory, says Global, "all music to 440 Hz turns it into a military weapon" and that "propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels insisted that on 440 Hz tuning in Germany because he believed it made people think and feel in specific ways, making them a prisoner of a certain consciousness".
They facetiously end with the truth hidden in plain sight: "If that idea stressed you out, please meditate on this special 432 Hz music."
If meditation alone can increase gamma wave activity in the brain, then meditating to relaxing frequencies might not be such a bad idea, whether or not they have magical healing powers.

A lot of mainstream music hurts ;) Not sure if there are magical healing powers of frequencies, but supposedly the Tibetan monks used them, and apparently they could levitate shit with sound.
Haha, pun noted and appreciated :-D I've underestimated the (healing) powers of sound and vibration, like it treating cancer. Sound's relationship to geometry is pretty fascinating, too. And yes, there's some amazing things about Tiebetan monks, we should all try to be more like them...they probably don't use smartphones even when they're not meditating and levitating.
Dang, that looks like it goes FOREVER!
Upvoted but I can't see or think straight so I'll end the comment h
LOL, yes, eventually it has to end somewh
