…Beliefs and actions are like two separate musical tones, each with its own pitch, each repeating at a certain wavelength. Integrity is when the two come together, when beliefs and actions are in total alignment. A certain cosmic vibration occurs — there is resonance.

I believe we can sense this resonance, this integrity, in people and the things they create. We recognize it, often without realizing it, because many of us go through our lives struggling to find it. For most, the waves operate at different frequencies, meeting at rare instances, crossing momentarily before veering off into opposite directions. When we come across true integrity, it puts us at attention. We align toward it, like iron filings toward the poles of a magnet. In certain individuals, that resonance is so strong, at times it can even seem to distort reality.
